THE STOCK MARKET

New York, Sept. 24.-Trading in stocks fell to low ebb today. During the afternoon the condition became ae- tualiy staFnant. The decision of the the exchange tomorrow in observance of the Hudson Fulton celeb bration. was partly responsible for this. Thero was some diversion of speculation Into the of the dea.and brought the condition Into resemblance with the great specu- iative episdoes in the past in that me- dlum; eann The There ,s,, was large participa- ouenters of the stock market and the volume of business there suffered &C., cordinEly. The dullness of the trading movement and it's wavering course could not fairly be accepted as e reli- able index of any opinions on values.
 There was less urgency in the sell. pushed at the expense of values. The relief from selling pressure seemed to offer small attraction. however, for any attempt to resume the operations for an advance. The intervening holiday would act as bar to such an inclina- ton. The growing money market also Is kept In view. PrelfmisAry estimates to small gain by the. banks from the interior, but smaller than last week. and with the tide of the outward movement from this center rising. The operations of Ss,ssz,Ooo has been re- duced. apparently. by few hundred thousand dollars by reason of the re- ports from the interior. There was Q rate in London today, which indicates some relaxation of pressure there. Ad vices from abroad represent wide spread and insreasing .de,aan dsmand .nd for desire to discourage further American borrowing for supposed speculative purposes. There were a few happen ings during the day which brought a response in individual stocks affected Such was the discontinuance or the suit to prevent the merging of the United States and the Central Leather Companies, and the taking Of tse nee essary action by the stockholders or the two companies to perfect the mer' gert Central Leather advanced In face of "a general decline then in pro progress: Haven and Hartford authorities Tn pro posing an issue of $i0,000.000 of new stock. was of small erect on the mar ks athopgh rbt it ds s yaue 1 fnae be n volvea The reception of this an- nouncement Is in contrast with the speculative turmoil which mas accon" lar action by other companies; rumors thus far without confirmation.
 The feature of the meagre dealings in the stock market was the number of Reading, and, to some extent. in United States Steel. The persistence with which Reading was pushed for sale on the advances and forced back had much to do with the vaciilating fen dency of the whole list. When the pressure on Reading subsided ten dency of prices to rise moderately came into notice. United states Steel and the Pacifics showed some strength. St. Louis Southwestern was feature of strength in spite of the anxiety re- garding the cottoa crvp. which the rise in the price of that commodity suggested. The final drive against Reading determined the closing tone
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. $2.594.000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call from last week.
