FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
PROFIT TAKING MARKET.
Traders Take Advantage of Rise il
Prices.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE stock mar
ket today had to bear the burden of
profit taking on the rise of Yesterday
and was affected accordingly. So con-
siderable a movement as that of yes
terday after the prolonged period of
apathy and Hstlessness was not to be
n eglected by the long suffering pro-
fessional opera tors.
The advantage of the opportunity
WAS increased by a considerable inflow
of orders from outside sources, at
tracted by the stirring Of yesterday
market. The action of the market
gave evidence of efforts to extend these
advantag es in the bidding up of open
ing prices and in the coincident offer
ing Of stocks as fast as the market
would take them without hurting
prices. These operations kept up a
show of animation in the dealings for
the first hour, after which there was a
lapse into dullness, the day terminal
Ing in a sharp reaction. Politics con-
tinued to occupy a large share of at
tention. but there was a disposition
amongst some of the larger financial
powers TO deprecate the exploitation of
the stock market as field for the ex-
preston of opinions on political pros
poets.
The sentiment OF the speculation was
unaltered that the political outlook has
declined in influence on the financiai
coming congress would be considered
not unsatisfactory in the estimation of
some of the financial interests whose
contention ii is that legislative quiesc-
ence would prove an advantage to
business and would relieve enterprise
from restraint and hesitation At the
same time there was heard the opinion
that open reflection of such views in
stock market activity was calculated
to stir uD renewed agitation against
corporation interests. The subsistence
of anxiety over the banking position of
the country provided substantial sub
stratum for the confidence that Is
growing up. This was manifest in the
reception accorded the news of the re-
lection by the London conference of
foreign bankers Of the validation plan
for American cotton shipments The
resources of the domestic money mar
ket seem now so assured that the ex-
ira requirement thus implied causes no
anxiety.
Money continues to work easier both
