STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Several Developments of Real Bearing
 on Values Upset Market.

New York. Sept lo-There were developments with real and important bearing on values to-day. compared with the unsubstantial fabric of tips and rumors which have made up the influences In the stock market for some time past. The effect was to throw the market into a state of seem ing unsettlement reflected in constant and feverish fluctuations and q final sharp break in prices The most in- fluential incidents of the day were the decision of United States circuit court against the oonstltutionality of the commodities clause !. the Hep burn law. the passing of the American Locomotive dividend and rise In call money rates to a higher figure than has been touched since early in March The Hepburn law decision has been the active factor in the Reading speculation for several weeks It's delivery to-day was earlier than Wall street information had. given reason 10 expect. but its tenor was in accord with expectation The lm- portance to the anthracite carriers of relief from the provisions of this en- actment are unquestIonable. To the loss of the advantage of centerlng control of anthracite production in the railroad carriers would he added the embarrassment of dissociating the companies owing to the large issues of capital secured in common by mortgages on the railroad and coal properties.
 The speculative contingent drew large inferences also of the hearing of the decision on possible checks by the courts on the attempts to control and punish corporations Whatever the bearing on values of this decision, the disposition to realize speculative profits to-day in the stock market gave warning that much had been discounted The American Locomo- tive dividend omission or possible rec | duction was not unexpected The violent break in the stock showed, l however. that the financial exhibit of ;he company was worse than expect ed. Of even more effect on senti- ment was the rather gloomy forecast by the corporations president of prCs- poets for resumption of demand for the comrany's output This incl lent was unfavorable m It's influence on 1 the speculation, based as it is on con l fident assumptions of an early return 1 of normal business activity,
 The sharp upturn in call loan rates can hardly be attributed to near ap- proach of exhaustion of loanabe funds. Stock market requirements due to the feverish price movements of the day may have induced some preciptate bidding for funds. Cop.
