water. The latest installations of mo-
tors for the purpose were made BY the
Wilmington City Electric Company last
week at the Beadenkopf residence at
.HiIcrest, and at the Woodward resi-

The managers of New York are waeine
vigorous war against theatre ticket

Traitor is taking vigorous steps to pre-
vent any tickets from falling into the

tour of that play. In order to accomplish
this result, however, the active co-opera-
ton of the public is necessary. By watch

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
The LEADING Stocks.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE frequent fluc-
tuations in the prices of stocks today
gave the market an appearance of great
irreguarity and feVeriShneSS. Some of
the movements were traceable to special
influences. but the action of the market
as a whole was regarded as normal Sc
quence of last weeks market. The more
frequent and narrower movements today
represented the dying down of the infu-
enceS which caused the wider and more
sustained movements of last week. The
violent rebound in prices of the latter
part of last week was due manifestly to
short covering operations
The rebound was extended at the outset
today, but the reduction which had oc-
CURED in the uncovered short interest and
by consequence in the potential demand
high opening prices and the inflow of
outside buying orders which accompanied
them afforded an inviting opportunity also
to sell stocks and this was taken advan
tage of. During the remainder of the day
the market underwent many changes. The
professional element was alert and the
quick turns in the tide of the market were
due often to these waves of suspicion and
to no other apparent cause The cOnSpic-
uous place taken by the stocks associated
with the name of Hawley and the COM
parative Responsiveness of the general
list in these movements was one ground
of suspicion which issued in free selling
of the general list. and especially in
those stocks which have made up the
bulk of the speculative operations for
long time past. The contamination of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas deal last week
was the ostensble ground for the con-
centrated movement in the HaWley group
and the attention it attracted was empha-
sized by the supposition that the opera
tons in the Interborough-Metr opolitan
stocks We're from the same source.
The professional element deduced an in
ference from certain operations in the
loan crowd in which United States Steel
figured as collateral, that there had been
concealed liquidation going on in that
stock. which, it was feared, might come
from informed inside sources Hence the
free selling of that stock which followed,
and which caused a decline of almost
three points from the high to the low
quotation. This movement carried with
it all the stocks which have been most
affected in sympathy with the prolonged
rise in United States Steel. The securi-
ties connected with the copper industry
The weakness of the mid season was at
tributed to some extent to the eXpecta-
ton of possible decisions from the SUI
preme court in Washington on one or two
cases that seemed important from the
standpoint of security values. The rally
in the market came after it became
known that no decisions would be hand
ed down today but this was regarded
rather as a coincidence than as cause and
effect. The tone of the money market
was called easier, following the strong
bank statement of Saturday. Bonds We're
irregular, Total sales, par value. S3,5l3-
900. United States bonds We're unchanged
on call.

showed to be even weaker than was

there were some fears over the five Ia
