STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Firm Undcrtone Maintained b,

New York, September l.-The firm undertone of the market again today was undoubtedly attributable 10 the sympathetic effect of the strength in the Hartman stocks. Southern Pacific was the conspicuous feature as on many days past but the movement was perceptible to a greater or less extent In stocks of all properties with which the Hartman name is connected as q supposed dominant or controlling force. This brought In Illinois Central and Erie as well as Union Pacific South ern Pacific made new record levels, crossing los during the day. Whatever realizing sales were brought out by the rise were absorbed with an aggressive determination that had an impressive effect on speculative sentiment towards the whole market The movements else where were not notable and the volume of trading, outside of these restricted lines was not large, Ruuor continued busy with supposed projects for new financing of Southern Pacific looking to retirement of the preferred stock. These rumors are discounted in official quarters, where the persistent rise In the shares of these properties are pre- ferably attributed to improving busi- ness conditions Such improvement was not strikingly reflected in any news of the day and some items were regarded as evidence of the slowness of the bet torment. Such was the statement of earnings of the Pennsylvania system for July The drastic cut of s250O,70o in the operating expenses effected for that single month feli sS11,300 short of the amount of the falling off in gross earn ings which thus measured the decrease in net return for the month The effect is offset to some extent, by the claim come more rapid since, The govern ment report on the condition of cotton showed wider decline in the percent age than had been foreshadowed by any of the expert private estimates which have preceded it. The date Of also leaves no allowance for the dam age done by the streams and Hoods of last week The cotton market Itself showed no perturbation over the show ing. which did not disturb the control of the bear element. There was some disposition to await the result of the Vermont election and the dulness of the trading was ascribed in part to that consideration. The market was heavy at the outset when selling or ders were said to come both from western warehouses and from foreign qga1ters Tho profit taking sales were resumed at different times, so that the sustaining Influence of the Hartman stocks was partly neutralizod. The days opposing movements balanced each other so far as to leave the net results small Bonds were firm. Total sales par value s3,s42,o0o

WALL STREET NOTES Southern Pacific Reaches New High Record Under Dis
 tribution." POOR COTTON REPORT Borrowing Demand for Stocks Con- siderably Increased in Last
 Few Days.

With a somewhat smaller volume of trading, stocks sold off rather abruptly during the first hour, but as not a great deal of long stock came out, they slowly rallied. under the lead of Southern Pacific, which reached a new high record around midday, Union Pacific followed 1t, but had not up to noon reached Mondays top price. The Hill stocks were strong early in the afternoon, and appeared to be used as cover" to liquidate other stocks Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Erie, Southern Railway and various specialties were strong at times. Dur ing the late trading stocks were re- actionary. which tended to confirm the early assertion that various issues were put up to help distribute others. Reading rose above 130 midway of the afternoon. and as has often been the case in the past, such a move has usually been followed, as was the case yesterday, by lower prices for the general market A late report had 1t that some of the buying of Erie rep resented forced coverings of shorts, against options sold by foreign inter- ests some week ago. when the Fries prospects were decidedly poor One rumor had 1t that the foreign sales of Erie footed up more than 50,O00 shares
 The feature of the days news was the poor government report on cot ton, which showed greater deteriora- ton than was expected. Most persons predicted about 79, as against an actual condition of 76.1 per cent. on August 25 Some of the midday sell Ing of stocks was undoubtedly due to the cotton report. Cotton itself up to one o'clock reflected very little of the reduced condition of the staple.
 London sold about 15.00o shares on balance, mostly United States Steel common, but also some Reading, The London market was very narrow and arbitraging was difficult.
 Money brokers found if difficult to secure large "over- the-year" loans from the banks. except at rates slight ly above market quotations. Western borrowers were in the market yester- day. but no large loans were put through. Brokers said that 1t was very hard to push business" and that as soon as large amounts were of- fered or asked, rates had to be al- tered.
 The borrowing demand for stocks appears to have been considerably in- creased in the last several days. though the short account is probably of more miscellaneous character than 1t was prior to the Brown fall- ure. Last weeks rise in stocks elim- mated good many shorts, who prob ably realized that strong interests had a hand in the market and that 1t was useless to antagonize them. The steadiness of stocks right after that failure showed absence of public liqui- dation. It has been apparent for some time that it takes bad news of posi- tive character to depress values
 While William A. Read & Co.'S high bid for the $10,000,O0O of Philadelphia 1 per cent. bonds was rather sur prise, 1t was regarded as very favor able factor because of the indication that one of the shrewdest bond deal CTS in the street evidently expects a very much better bond market.
