REVIVAL IN
SPECULATION

NEW YORK, Sept 2s.-The recovery
from last weeks declines which set In
yesterday was substantially extended in to-
day's stock market and United States
Steel and Atchison were distinguished by
new record prices. Explanation of the
marked revival OF speculative confidence
to look for some concealed technical con-
dition to account for the extreme facility
with which prices were advanced
One supposition advanced was that
short interest of unsuspected proportions
had been discovered by the adroit conduct
ors of the recent movements in the market
and that they were able to control the ac-
tion of prices to the discontinue of the
shorts.
The money market seems proof against
adverse circumstances and the operations
on the long side today were conducted with
the appearance of unhampered freedom.
The near approach of the October settle
ment made no impression on the money
market The treasury meanwhile contin-
ues to draw cash from the banks, the state
ment of the banking week rising today to
81, 5ss, 900, compared with only S59l, 900 in
the corresponding time last week.
There were heavy remittances also today
to Canada, $500, 600 being withdrawn from
the subtreasury in gold for that destina-
tion in addition to sso,c shipped yester-
day.
Atchison, Pennsylvania, New York Gen.
trail Southern Pacific, Rock Island pre-
ferred and U. S. Steel itself were di-
rectly affected by conjectural dividend
prospects. There was nothing authorita-
tivs--nfade known. as to the actual inten-
tion of those controlling the finances of
these companies. The rise in United States
Steel was stimulated by reports Of the plac-
ing of heavy buying orders for steel rails
by the Pennsylvania road. A strong recov-
cry in the Erie stocks was feature in
the days market.
The bond market was irregular. The
buoysnt rise in United States Steel was
accompanied by decline in the sinking
funds bonds. Total sales, par value,
$3.50, 600.
United States bonds unchanged on call.
