FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
DOWN TO ROCK BOTTOM.
Stocks Drop to Lowest Point of Yea
 but Rally Again.


 New York. Sept. 11.-After opening on considerably higher level, stocks fell to the lowest point of the year to- day and then recovered. Net changes were slight in most cases, and the final rally was so spirited that many of the active issues closed with small gains, running up to point in Read ing and Southern Pacific. But the market was not freed from the nerv- ousness and unsettlement of last week During the mornings decline most of the representative issues were includ- ed in the list of low records, not only for the year, but in several instances for a longer period The range of prices for the day ran to more than three points in 8 number of cases.
 Opening gains ranging from one to four points were due to the earlier rise of prices in the London market. Traders took advantage of the rise to sell stock. The selling had the ap- rearance of being renewal of liquida- tion such as was the chief depressing factor for several weeks. The market was unable to resist the pressure, and broke abruptly. The weakness was pronounced during most of the morn ing, and there seemed to be an utter lack of substantial support. Many weak bull accounts, dating from the recent brief upward movement. were closed out. The recovery, which was in progress most of the afternoon seemed to be chiefly the result of short covering.
 The infIuerce of the European mar kets was again a considerable factor, s&sndon following the advances in Americans there, bought moderately here at tke opening, but as the market broke, faced about and sold. There also was heavy. direct selling by Der lin, chiefly cf Atchison, Union Pa cific and Canadian Pacific. Total sales for foreign account were estimated at more than 30.oo0 shares. Reports in regard to the difficulty between France and Germany were conflicting, this subject were received later in the day Local bankers with international connections received reports intimat- ing that both Paris and Berlin were engaged in the further curt aiment of German credits. London's market was somewhat feverish by reason of the approaching fortnightly settlement, while Paris exhibited nervousness. Some relaxation of the tension in Ber- lin may have been suggested by the decline in discounts there.
 Home news included despatches from the west. indicating brighter prospects for peace on the Illinois Central. The pressure against United States Steel was coincident with re- ports that operations at the corpora tlof mills are now on smaller scale than at any time during August. It was also said that the cornpany's s foreign business had suffered de- cided setback, but this was denied in authoritative quarters. A cut in the dividend of the Texas Oil from ten to five per cent. ,occasioned no sur prise, even in speculative circles. The prevailing quotation for this stock, which is lightly held, long ago dis counted the change in rate
 Bonds were heavy, but rallied some what late in the day in sympathy with the improvement In stocks. Total sales. par value, $2,205,00O.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Syracuse, NY. Sept 11.-Record- smashing marked the first days races at the New York state fair,~ the tenth regular Grand Circuit meeting of the season here this afternoon. Billy Burke and Spanish Queen, forced to the utmost by the European marvel, Willy, trotted the fastest three heats the world has ever seen in the S2,000 Chamber of Commerce stakes for 2.G7 trotters which was won by Billy Burke. The time was 2.04 1-4; 2.04 IA; and 2.04 3-4.
 The former record, 2.04 IA; 2.05 IA; 2.05 1-2, was set by Country Jay and Sonoma Giri last year at Kalamazoo, Mich.
 Spanish Queen took the first heat, but was forced to lower her mark from 2.O7, made at Lexington in 1907, to 2.04 1-4.
 Branham Baughman took the Con- way $2,000 stake for 2.18 pacers. in straight heats, equalling his own mark in the first heat, which he made in 2.05 1-4
 Dorothy Hansboro won the PIP trot handily in straight heats.
 The three races taken together, it was announced by the judges, were the three fastest races ever held in one day.

 this fall, having signed some fast players of old. AS Captain Skelly has been busy for the past three months getting material, a strong team may be looked for. Manager Larkie has al- ready heard from the gast Fort Michie soldiers team, and also the Waterbury Independents, and the sports will certainly see games that will make old Norwich hustle. The
