FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SMALL DAILY TRANSACTIONS.
Many Brokerage Houses Cutting Down
Their Office Force

New York. Sept. 9.-The contingent
Of professional board room traders
which has made up the recent stock
market shows a dwindling tendency.
The discourag cement of efforts to move
prices proves too much. Listless in
difference to every variety of news de-
Velopments becomes more and more
pronounced. The explanation of "a
waiting attitude" loses force with the
passing of events which were supposed
to be awaited without reviving any
show of activity in the dealings.
That the stagnation of the stock
market is not expected to be merely
temporary is shown by the general re-
duction of office and clerical forces
which is going on amongst brokerage
houses In the case of the large com
mission houses which maintain elab-
crate private wire systems and numer-
Gus branches, the amount of losses is
large. The price of stock exchange
seats is falling as another index of the
low ebb to which purely stock market
operations have fallen. The meagre
daily transactions are made up in large
portion of transactions between board
room members themselves, and up
wards of half of the total is concen-
trated in two or three stocks. The
remnant when distributed amongst the
total stock exchange membership rep
resents an apportionment of business
which is very small.
Events concerning financial affairs or
values of securities are discussed,
therefore. for their abstract bearing
rather than for any practical effect on
prices.
The good promise for the crops found
in Yesterdays government report on
grains was responsible for an under
tone of firmness in today's market.
Yesterdays unfavorable copper sta =
tistics were reflected in a decline in the
London price Of the metal. Copper in
dustrials were almost immovable in
New York, in common with the rest of
the market.
Business for the day made a new
low record of activity for the year.
Bonds were steady. Total sales. par
