NEW YORK September 1s.-From
opening irregularly the stock market this
morning progressed to an average decline
OF fractional proportions In the second
hour rather extensive profit-taking
movement was the chief factor In making
prices The dealings were governed al
most wholly by considerations common 10
those who make 1t more or less of bust
ness to trade in stocks. Prices have had
a substantial advance this week. and
realization sales were more or less In
order as the end of the week drew near.
The business of the week has been too
exclusively in the high-priced issues for
ANY considerable participation by others
Than habitual traders. and their opera
tions are not usually represented by COM
mitments of any marked duration that
,he bigh-priced stocks were again the
leading features of the market.
The so-called Hill issues were very
strong. as was Canadian Pacific. Read
Ing was very active. put tnrou sa,. 't -,
greater part of the session was deal1 IN
without much change in price. 81 Paui
advanced sharply at the opening, but sup
seuuently showed the effects OF pront tax
ing New York Central declined suDstah
tialIy and Pennsylvania receded traction
alIv. Substantial fractional losses were
scored in the Union Pacific issues put
Southern Pacific was firm.
Strong and Active Features.
Among the lower priced railroad stocks
Erie LIST preferred and Southern railway
were strong and active features. The In
dustrial list was generally off. United
States Steel preferred was aggressively
strong. but the common stock yielded to
rather heavy selling AS whole the mar
ket displayed a strong undertone.
Foreign exchange for the week showed
a loss of about one-half cent in the
pound sterling. Bank clearings through
out the country increased more than 70
per cent as compared with the cor
responding week last year.
The trade reviews spoke of the strong
tone in business, and reported volumes
approaching the records of 1907. The
Canadian Pacific this morning published
earnings showing an increase In gross OF
siO5, 900 for the second week In Septem-
Der, and an increase of more than 81, 900, :

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. September 1S.-Leading
cash interests were moderate sellers of
wheat during early trading today. and
as a result the market was rather weak
the fore part Of the session. Liberal ship
ments from Russia during the week and
continued heavy movement in the north
west were responsible for much Of the
selling. Prices at the opening were !.
lower to y higher, December being at
9Sll to 9sS. After touching 9sA the De-
cember delivery dropped back again to
9s,sa9SA.
Ideal weather for the proper maturing
of the new crop prompted considerable
selling of corn at the start. December
opened unchanged to MaA lower at COS
to 6OSa6OM and sold off to 6O1z.
Increased receipts prompted mild raid
on the oats market at the start, which
caused declines in all deliveries. Decem-
Der opened " to haA lower at 40a 40h to
4Ols. and declined to $685..
Provisions were barely steady early in
the session, because of profit-taking by
local longs. Prices at the opening were
lower to higher.
