STOCKS SHOW IMPROVEMENT.

New York, Sept. 1.-The feeling Of
anxiety and apprehension which has
been prevalent in financial circles for
several weeks past was pcrcrptibl,-
quinter last week ana this was reflected
in some important Improvement of So
ruritirS. The result was accomplished
without any very substantial revival Of
demand for stocks. the buying coming
clearly, for the most part, from the
covering of short contracts left open as
Il consequence of bear operations dur
ing the prolonged decline in prices. on
the selling side. however. there was Il
marked subsldcnce of the Kind of PR $
sure which has kept the market in dis
order during the previous period. The
change in sentiment was easily GiS-
cCrnablC in the disregard Of the many
rUnorS of an alarming character which
were circulated in the early part of the
week.
Quite the most influential factor i'll
bringing about the hettermcnt was the
announcement of the secretary Of the
treasury of his intention to make large

period of the crop moving demand. Tho

mer Of the intended sale on Sept. 10
Of $tG,mH. ,H0 of New York City bonds
was another influential factor in reviv-
ing confidence in the investment Situa-
ton.
The fact that the rate of interest on
the new issue had been raised to II
per cent. compared with the previous 4
per cent. rate left clear Inference of
the high prevailing rate for capital still
existing ana led to some reimbursement
in prices of older issues. not only Of
New York City. but Of other high
grade investment bonds. The prospect
that the issue would be placed, how
ever. indicate progress i'm the fixing of
the deadlock which has existed between
capital and its employers.
\ forciblc reminder on the other hand
of the difficulties which still remain In
securing adequate capital facilities was
offered by the decision of the Erie d.
rectorS to offer scrip instead of cash in
the payment Of dividends to their pre-
ferred stockholders, in spite of large
surplus earnings over dividend require
ments shown by the years operations.
This determination to conserve cash
resources for outlay in required better

the report of the granting OF a writ OF
error TO the standard Oil company in the
case involving the S29.00O,000 fine. A di-
rect connection between these two facts
was not clearly evident. The extreme
weakness of some individual stocks was
a faetol in keeping the rest of the mar

Rates for call loans were slightly lower
than yesterday, but the time loan mar
