PALESTRA WILL OTEN.

The winter fee skating season of the
Palestra will start this evening and
IL is expected that the spacious rink
will be crowded to its utmost capa-
city. The Laurium band has been en-
gagged to render music for skating.
An ice bed about three inches thick
has been built upon the floor of the
rink, and this should provide fine skat-
ing. The rink has been considerably
improved this season and will un-
doubtedly prove popular with the skat-
ing public.

Uneasy Tone i'm
The Stock Market

NEW YORK, Sept 22.-vsrious osten-
sible reasons were. advanced for the. weak
ness of the stock market today. The
real reason was the suspicion that the
leaders in the prolonged advance in prices
were selling or had sold their holdings
The support accorded the market was
not Of that determined and effective char
acter that has been manifest At any
period of pressure for long time. This
action engendered the fear that the almost
linitless resources at the command Of the
men credited with the speculative leader
ship were no longer being employed in
further accumulation and in protecting
values of holdings already acquired.
The belief that this process has bean
going on is fostered by the number of
stories recently influential in stimulating
speculative buying which have failed of
confirmation. The glazing instance of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey dividend,
which was left unchanged yesterday, drew
particular attention to this subject, owing
to the heavy speculation which has con-
verged on Reading in the expectation that
this dividend was to be raised.
A summing up of other recent predic-
lions which have proved unreliable was
going on today and there was DISPOSE
tion prevalent to mistrust limitations of
intended dividend increases, the granting
of valuable subscription rights and the
perfecting of important deals which have
done good service for long time.
The sensational demonstration Of strength
in United States steel as the market
opened was of very moderate effect on
the general list. For half an hour fully
two-thirds of the total dealings were
made up of United States steel, but by
that time it had lost its initial rise OF
IL, which had extended its record
price by that much to s6lz. In Residing,
speculative favorites, meanwhile, the real
izing sales were pushed persistently and
wide inroads were made on their prices.
The money market showed no signs of
disturbance, but the statistics of the
banking position make it evident that re-
sources for merely speculative operations
on a scale of millions which had been 50
employed recently are becoming restricted.
The private discount rate rose again
TODAY in London and Berlin, admonishing
would be borrowers that the period of
easy concession on that side was coming
to an end
The New York exchange rate at Chi
cago. after having risen TO par in response
to last weeks rise in interest rates here,
has fallen back again and was reported
today at Is cents per $1,000 discount,
rejecting the renewal of the interior de-
rnand for currency.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, S4,s42, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

Somers & Co. say in their weekly report:
THE seasons rush of hay to market is about
over and the San Francisco dealers heaving
sigh of relief in consequence. But 1900 tons
comparison with 4.250 tons last week and
$500 for the week preceding that. In some
districts there is quite bit of hay yet out Of
Goors and. the shipment has been somewhat
retarded by the growing ear scarcity IL Is
evident however. that the worst is now ever
for an improvement in conditions.
THE bulk OF present arrivals is of the
medium and poorer grades of hay. which are
still dragging badly. All choice varieties are
in light supply and are daily commanding pre-
miums over the regular quotations.
