Heavy Tone Marked the Stock
Dealings Today.
FEW STOCKS WERE STRONG
Irregular Appearance Impaired to
General Market.

the Railway List.
MAINE ELECTION INFLUENCE

NEW YORK. September 15.-The gem
eral stock market displayed a heavy tone
during the greater part of the days bust
ness session. although the exceptional
strength of small number OF stocks
served to impart an irregular appearance
to the days dealings as a whole. Super
ficially, the outcome of the state election
in Maine was the main influence In the
trading. and after making all proper al
lowances for the results shown. the latter
were still accounted discouraging.
AT the same time satisfaction was ex-
pressed at the election by the usual plu-
ralities of the candidates for Congress,
II being taken to indicate that in the
presidential elections the voters of the
state would return to their usual politi-
cal affiliations.
The American department of the Lon
don stock market was also unfavorably
influenced by the outcome Of the Maine
elections, and foreign houses were sellers
in the local dealings upon a fairly lib
eral scale. Otherwise there was little or
nothing In the days situation calculated
TO shape speculative sentiment strongly
in one direction or another.
Money Market Unchanged.
Money market circumstances and the
rate for foreign exchange showed no ma
terial alteration. The commodity markets
were generally heavy.
The leading features Of the railway
In respect OF strength and activity were
Union and Southern Pacific and Reading
but even those stocks were more OF less
anected by the unusual degree Of irregu-
larity which developed in the general
market with tire course of the business
session.
Notably weak features Of the railway
list were Northern Pacific Great North
ern preferred and Louisville and Nash
VILE Price movements were, as noted,
however. eccentric and fitful to q remark
able degree.
Some Round Declines.
With a few exceptions the industrial
and miscellaneous shares likewise re-
Elected effective pressure and the local
traction issues were decidedly weak. In
the first named group there were round
declines In Amalgamated Copper, Ameri-
can Smelling and distillers' securities
The United States Steel shares were also
heavy Virginia Carolina Chemical was
exceptionally firm, as was Western
Union.
The volume Of business measured very
we'll up to recent averages of activity and
fairly wide distribution of speculative
interest was disclosed.
There was very little gossip or actual
news except OF routine character &C
cempanying the dealings in particular
stocks.
