PRICE PENDULUM
SWINGS WEAKLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-The
narrow limitations of the PIES
ent stock market were marked
again today by the way in which
price movements exhausted
themselves before going far in
either direction.
The wholly professional par
ticipation in the trading serves
to explain this restricted move
ment. The settlement of larger
questions is awaited by the
larger financial interests before
attempting any important trans
Buying for London account
was factor in the strength
shown at the outset here. The
higher prices brought realizing
sales and reaction set in. The
decline began about the time the
finance committee of the United
States steel corporation was
ready to go into session and that
stock led the movement.
A rise in the price of copper
in London was cited and reports
Of curtailment of output by one one
of the copper mining companies
of secondary grade was pointed
to as an encouraging develop
ment in the copper trade.
Reports of lessening demand
for steel products, of increasing
competition lot Ol0clS anu VI
coming further reductions IN. the
prices Of leading lines were kept
in circulation and helped to de-
press United States steel, with
sympathetic effect on the gen
eral list. The proposed large in
crease in Oregon Short Line
stock came as a surprise and
market sentiment was rather at
a loss to interpret its signifl-
canoe or its effect on Union
Pacific as the owner of the. exist
ing stock and the proposed taker
of additional stock when IL shall
be issued.
There was a decline in the pri-
vate discount rate in London
and foreign exchange rates here
were lower. An increase was re-
ported in the supply of cotton
market and the demand for re-
mittance is light.
Bonds were irregular: Total
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
NEW YORK. Sept 2o.-E. F.
Hutton & Cos wire says: An
other day of professionalism
and some manipulation by inside
interests in stocks. Steel was
the active feature of the session,
being depressed in the afternoon
session by selling from mani
pulative source and traders fol-
lowed. Rumors of a drastic cut
in steel commodities which was
to be announced after the close
was the only matter of news for
the day.
Probably the important fea-
ture in the market was the dis
tinct strength shown in railway
stocks through the weakness in
steel. and it seems significant
of good buying in these issues
in any weakness in industrial
specialties.
