 iN PERIL OF SENTIMENT.

Santa Ana.

Wheat spectators required constantly,
however, to the unprecedented total of

these figures were contrasted with Is,

northwest, shower some diminuton. The
important facts were discounted or ig-

found in millers' reports confirming state

THE STOCK MARKET
IS VERY uSTLESS
No Incentive to Trade is Of
fered in Days News
FEW STOCKS ARE ACTIVE
stagnntion in the Market Is Expected
to Continue for Some Time MS
Brokers Are Reducing Their
Office Forces

New York, September 9.-The contingent
of professional board room traders which
has made up the recent stock market
shows a. dwindling tendency The dis
enlargement of efforts to move prices
proves too much. Listless indifference to
every variety of news developments be-
comes more and more pronounced. The
stereotyped explanation Of a waiting at
ftitude' 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 reduction of office
and. clerical forces which is going on
amongst brokerage houses. In the case of
the large commission houses which main-
tain elaborate private wire systems and
numerous branch offices the amount of
losses Is large The price of stock ex-
change seats is falling, as another index
of the low ebb to which purely stock mar
ket operations have fallen.
The meagre daily transactions are made
In large part of transactions between
board room traders themselves and up
ward of half of the total is concentrated
In two or three stocks. The remnant,
when distributed amongst the total stock
exchange membership, represents an ap-
portionment of business which is negli-
gible.
Events concerning financial affairs or
status of securities are discussed there
fore 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 undertone>of firm
ness in today's market. The sensitive
ness of opinion on the crops was indieat-
ed, however, by the rise in the price of
corn on the official predictions of frosts
In portions of the corn belt tonight The
episode was a reminder of the extra
hazard of the crop this year from frost
damage on account of the lateness of its
start. rather than from fear of a killing
frost at this date.
Yesterdays unfavorable copper stalls
tics were reflected in a decline in the
London price of the metal. Copper in
dustrials were almost imnlovable in New
York, in common with the rest of the
market.
Forecast of the currency movement in
dicated a decrease in bank cash for the
week of not over 100000 compared with
estimates last week of $10,000000. This
moderated outflow Is factor in the
slightly easier tone of the time money
market this week.
The demand remains so restricted owing
to the stock market valuation as to make
the market almost nominal. Offerings of
funds on time on account of out-of-town
banks are reported by money brokers.
