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

New York. Sept ia remover out
burst OF speculative demand for stocks
appeared today and a striking demonstra-
ton of strength was the consequence. The
movement again centered on the recent
|favorites. United States Steel, Union Pa
clhc and Reading. In the last named
stock profit taking acted as a restraint
on its price movement, in spite of the
enormous dealings in it. Blocks of as
much as 10000 shares of it changed hands
rgs. The individual transactions in
United States Steel were scarcely less
striking and the aggregate dealings even
larger than in Reading. When it is con-
sidered how large a number of the out
standing shares of Reading are held by
corporations for division of it's control
and are unavailable for the open market,
the proportion of the total market supply
of the stock turned over in the course
of as active days speculation as to-
days indicates the artificial character of
much OF this apparent activity. In United
states steel the absorption was agrees
sive and determined at all levels and the
price moved upward with great apparent
facility and without hesitation on account
of the heavy offerings encountered at va
riOuS stages.
The determined Strength of United
States Steel radiated a strengthening in
fuence all through the list Even the
copper stocks got some benefit from the
movement although authorities in that
trade continue to report large accumula-
ton of stocks in European hands and
pressure to sell refined copper by former
speculative buyers in this country. Fur
Their talk was made on wide reaching
agreement among the chief banking in
terests of the country. which was said
to obviate dangers of antagonsm and to
assure harmony and actual cooperation
among the most powerful groups of finan-
cers whose interests have clashed at
times in the past.
The effect on the speculation of the
present rumors of harmonious adjust
Iments is magnfied by reason of previous
fears which had grown up Union Pacific
doomed into market prominence again.
following the publication of the brief and
simple provisions of the will of the late
head of the system. The banks continued
to lose cash and the fact that the sub
treasury alone has absorbed almost twice
as much of the actual surplus reserve of
the banks as shown by the last bank
statement caused no apparent hesitation
in the large speculative commitments go
ing on in the stock market

THAT TRIP TO THE COAST
WILL NOT MATERIALIZE

Cincinnati, Sept. 16.-Off is that
coast post season jaunt in which Bust
ness Manager Frank Bancroft of the
Reds was to handle an all-star aggre-
cation for a series of games with Con-
ME Mack's Athletics in the cities out
where the Pacific breezes blow.
There are several reasons, but the
main one is that Bancroft will probably
be chosen to handle the financial end
of the coming worlds championship
series for the National League.
When the coast trip proposition was
first preached to him Bancroft thought
it looked decidedly good, but further
investigation did not make it seem
quite 50 rosy, for only 37R per cent
of the receipts were to go to the all
star bunch that he was to organize.
The Athletics were to get the lions
share, and that did not particularly ap-
peal to Bancroft.

ergo the most important p;


ergo the most important part
of ball game is the festive swat stick
Every fan knows more or less about
gloves, masks, mitts, etc, but how
many ever stop to consider the differ
ence in the whaling weapons used by
the semi-burned athletes who cavor:
daily for the pleasure of the thousands
of enthusiasts who pay their good
money to see the national game.
Every player has his own pet stick
without which he walks to the plate
with little expectation of fattening his
batting average, but put his own pet
style of war club in his hands and he
feels sorry for the pitcher who opposes
him.
Big bats and little bats, long bats
and short bats, heavy bats and light
bats, fat bats and thin bats are used
by the heavy suggers and almost
every ball player of any Importance in
the country has his bats made at
Louisville, where for nearly % years
one factory has kept the world sup
piled. Nearly a quarter of century
ago a wood turner named Hillerich
made three bats for the use of his son.
and one of these fell into the hands of
a ball player who, when that bat was
disabled, ordered more of the same
model. This was the start of the ball
bat business of J.. A. Hillerich & Son.
who for years past have turned out
many thousands of bats each year.
At the factory on Preston street can
be seen a collection Of more than q
thousand bats, all of which have
figured in games and ali are labeled
with the name of some player. Each
one has been a favorite stick of some
diamond star who has broken it in a
game and shipped it by express to the
factory in Louisville to have fac
simile made.
The bats when lying in a row in
front of the players bench on the dia-
mond seem to be nearly all alike to
the spectators. but when viewed more
closely they are as different in size,
shape and weight as could be imagined.
Some bats are long and thin. others
long and thick, while some are short
and stubby and others short and thin.
The weight varies a great deal n
bats, for it is seldom that two players
are found who use bats of the same
shape and weight
The most popular bat is the Harry
Davis bat, for more Walloping clubs
are made from this model than from
any other OF the thousand models kept
at the factory. This particular stick is
of medium length, with straight
taper and handle which. while not as
thin as some players require, is slender
to allow the battcrs to get a good grip
for hard swing The bats are limited
to a length, weight and thickness, but
there is no limit on the opposites of
these measurements. The limit to
the weight is 60 ounces, and the only
player using a bat this heavy is
William McDonaugh, of the Denver
club, whose swat stick goes the limit.
The bat used by McDonaugh is not
particularly long, but is a thick solid
piece of wood, with the handle not a
great deal thinner than the batting
end.
Pete O'Brien. of the Minneapolis
club, has the "freakiest' bat ever seen
on baseball field, as his pet stick is
% inches long and greatly resembles
an old-fashioned potato masher Its
handle is so short that it is barely
large enough to allow it's owner and
