CATTLE-Receipts or cattle this morning
were small, as usual on a Friday, there be-
lng only fifty-seven cars in sight, which
was not enough to make very much OF a
market or create any very great amount of
interest among buyers. Sull there seemed
TO be a fair demand for pretty much every
thing and the few cattle here generally
sold in about the same notches as yes
terday. This would apply to all kinds.

AS will be noted from the table above,

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Wall Street Market is Affected by
Imminence Of Three-Day Holiday.
ICES ADVANCE SLIGHTLY
Demand f. Due to COVERING Opera
lions OF shorts who Bought Freely
on Thuryday-Bonds Active
rad Firm.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE stock market
was affected, as usual, by the imminence
Of a tnree-day holiday. Dealings. were con-
lined largely to the closing up OF contracts
the traders, who were adverse TO the
RISK OF a long period In which stocks can
not be dealt in, while some sudden move
might change the speculative situation. 1t
became manifest that In the decline yes
tetday traders had operated with some free
dom on the short SIDE OF the market: Lhe
attributed to covering operations from that
source. Not only the Stock exchange, but
the commercial exchanges generally, are
to be closed tomorrow as an extension OF
the labor holiday on Monday. Foreign mar
kets gave evidence of a subsjdence OF the
uneasiness caused by the Moroccan situa-
ton.
Preliminary estimates OF the weeks cur
rent movement indicated a failing off in
shipments to New York, but not yet suf-
ficently to turn the tide of the movement
In favor OF the interior. Reports from CHI
cago confirm the lightness of the demand
for funds from interior banks. More atten-
lion will be given to the loan Item In to-
morrow's bank statement. The weeks spec
ulation has not been active enough to in
EolVe any great loan expansion, but banks
nave been reporting large buying of bonds
as a means Of employment of funds. Hold
ings of securities Of this class are found in
the loan Item. in the form OF a statement
made up. by the clearing house. The slug
gish demand from the interior for cur
rcncy tends rather to confirm doubts OF
the rate Of business recovery. There was
similar deduction drawn from the returns
Of building operations In August made up
by Bradstreet's, which Indicated a loss
from the aggregate expenditures for that
purpose in July and also a much higher
proportionate loss from August Of last year
than was represented either in July OF
June. The falling off was especially large
In New York City. Reports were current
Of some large coming orders for new steel
cars by railroad companies, but the rail
road equipment stocks were heavy in spite
OF the general strength OF the market. The
weeks exports of wheat show a notable
gxnanEinu rising To x lQ6 OOG ht1 pnYnnaFad
with ~4,525,5O3 bu. last week and only 1928, M
bu. in this week last year. There was q
considerable demand for foreign exchange
nevertheless, which gave early firmness tC
that market. Copper warrants declined iT
London without affecting the recovery In
the prices Of copper industrials. The
United States Steel stocks developed
strength only when il became known that
j. p. Morgan had come to his office for the
first time after his return from abroad to-
day.
