new YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Speculation Gives Evidence of Vital
ity and E~aturalness.
UPWARD MOVEMENT GENERAL
speech of President Taft at Boston
Has GOod Effect-Time Loan
Rate Rises on strong
Demand.

NEW YORK. Sept. h.-The speculation
In stocks today gave greater evidence Of
vitality and naturalness than for a long
past. Operators were not confined
&c has been the case often, 10 three stocks,
Union Pacific, Reading and United states
steel. Those three stocks were by no
means obscure in the lays transactions,
but they did not absorb so per cent of the
aggregate dealings. The demand branched
out into new quarters. News to account
for those movements was not forthcoming
always or even generally.
The Interpretation placed by the finan-
cial community on President Tatt's
speech in Boston at the outset OF his long
speech making tour of the west had influ-
ence. The chief executives endorsement
OF the plan for the creation of a central
bank OF issue as a means Of solving the
currency problem had a good effect on
the cheerful belief expressed that we are
'on the eve Of another great business ex-
pansion and era OF prosperity Even the
inststenoe on the need Of further reform
OF business methods and the danger Of
lapse In old abuses was read In the light
of the qualification, nothing revolution
ness is needed" rather than in the light
OF the main contention. Industrious use
was made also OF the rumors of an
approachment between the two great bank
lng groups usually designated as the
STANDARD oil and Morgan groups. The con-
crete facts on which these rumors were
based sifted down to the election of ]. p.
Morgan, jr.. as a director Of the National
City bank, a Standard OIL institution, and
OF James Stillman. chairman of the board
OF that bank. as a director Of the Cleve-
land, Chicago, Cincinnati & st. Louis
railway, one OF the Morgan-Vanderbilt
railroads. AS George w. Perkins. one Of
the Morgan partners was already a
director Of the National City bank, and
as James Stillman was already a director
of the New York Central, the new order
Of things presented no revolutionary as
poets. The speculative imagination took
fire With the attractive suggestion, how
ever, AMI threw itself with aFdOr into TIE
buying Of stocks at rapidly rising prices.
The report from Pittsburg OF the visit
TO the steel works OF a French banker,
who. Il was assumed, was securing infor-
nation to pave the way to list the stock
of the United States Steel corporation on
the Bourse Of Paris, was the most influ-
entail factor in carrying United States
Steel to its new record level. Reading also
touched a new record price on the belief
that some plan for segI egation * its coal
company was maturing. The further light
ening Of the money market had not the
slightest effect in checking the specula-
ton. Most Of the days call loans were
made at 3 per cent. but the rate did not
rise above that. Rates for time loans,
however, were advanced a fraction for the
various mRturities and the demand was
very strong.

SHEEP-This has been so far the heav-
lest week Of the year as regards sheep Re-
ceipts. For the first two days over $4,000
head wal received, but the demand was
so good that when the market closed yes
terday afternoon, pretty much everything
in the yards had been cleaned up, only a
few scattering loads being carried over.
This morning there was still a heavier
run than on any previous day, but so
many of the trains were late that 1t was
well along in the forenoon before every
thing was in. This naturally delayed the
trade somewhat, 80 that the market did
not open as early as usual, and, as there
is always a disposition on the part Of buy
ers to hold off in hopes OF getting some
thing better on the late trains, the trade
was not very brisk.
II was very evident that buyers felt that
prices should be a little lower on both fat
sheep and lambs. and they started out
with the evident intention of taking off as
much as iOql5c. Still the supply of killers
was not very large and they did not sue
coed entirely in their efforts. To call the
general market on killers weak to iOQl5c
lower would just about cover the situation,
although heavy old wethers showed more
loss than that.
The big bulk Of the receipts consisted Of
feeders, but fortunately the demand was
good, there being a good many new buyers
receipts, the market only showed about the
same decline as killers, being anywhere
from weak to 10q15c lower.

Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices ON Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Sept. B~.-Continued liberal re-
ceipts In the northwest and a lump In
wheat market here today. At the close
prices were Aql1c to lac below yesterdays
final figures. Corn and oats closed firm,
but provisions were weak.
The wheat market was weak all day,
with the exception of n short period during
the first hour, when prices advanced about
lc on buying by prominent commission
houses. The September delivery, which was
subjected to heavy selling pressure by a
Leading elevator Interest nearly all day,
showed the greatest weakness, and at the
bottom was nearly 20 below the best mark
OF the day. The market closed at Almost
the lowest point. Declines of b4hc to Nc
were recorded at the opening, owing to
general selling based on ,R,haavy movament
In the northwest and on q decline of I'd to
Id at Liverpool. These influences affected
the market all day and were reinforced by
additional purchases OF wheat at Duluth
for shipment here, Two. cargoes were re-
ported to have been bought there today, one
Of which was intended for delivery on Sep
tember contracts. That option ranged dur
Ing the day between S1.O2 and H.03&. while
December sold between csc and 99hc. The
close on September was tLo2k and on De-
cember oshG9Shc.
Trade in the corn pit was quiet all day,
but the market was firm. The principal
bullish influence was the report OF a local
crop expert, which estimated a shrinkage
OF 10000, 900 blu. in the total yield OF corn
In the United States, compared with the
latest official statistics. The close was
firm, with prices Mc to h@hc higher than
yesterdays close.
Buying OF the September delivery by
shorts was the feature or trading In the
oats market and was responsible for its
moderate firmness. Prices at the close
were a shade to &c above the final fig
ures OF the previous session,
Liberal realizing by longs caused weak
