SHARP GAINS IN STOCK MARKET
FOLLOWED Y/REACTION AND
SOME LOSSES.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-There was a
false opening 10 the stock market, judg-
ing entirely by its action during the
remainder Of the morning, when the
earlier advances, on strong London dis
patches and u manipulated opening
there, were entirely lost on all but a
few stocks, and TIE latter only displayed
a portion of their earlier decline. In
the first half hour the market was de-
cldedly active and appeared 10 be max

OF Reading. Southern Pacific. Union

record on the rise, the stock selling

StOp-LOss Orders.
The danger in the market for some
weeks has been from stop-ioss orders Of
which there are always an abundance,
for the professional element while fol-
lowing the rise for good gains are care
ful to cover their retreat with these
safety appliances Of Wall Street. They
are willing 10 go up with the market,
but when it turns they want to be
among the first to desert IL and they
have recently acquired a habit OF add
ing stop-lOss on profits. in order that
they may not lose the paper gains. OF
course the Hartman clique can and are
liable TO 20 after these orders and shake
out a line Of tTailers. but they'd just
repeat on the next rise.
The Maine election today and the
State conventions of both parties are
likely 10 be Influences Of Importance.
Reading made a new high record on
this rise, this being due to some in
vestmenW buying, probably repla eng
stocks s0ld out before the commodity
decision. and also under the buying Of

The change in the market came quick
