MARKET STRONG;

Standard Issues Move to 'front.'
While Specialties Are
Less Active.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK VERY GOOD

New York. Sept n--specialties were
less active in the stock market to-day
and the old standard issues were moved
to the front. United States Steel. Union
Pacific. and Reading were sold at higher
prices than for many months. Transac-
tions in them were also on heavy
scale. Other stocks to show unusual
strength were Bethlehem Steel preferred
National Enameling, and United States
Realty. The Gas stocks were also
strong. United Cigar Stores sold on the
curb at 10T and closed firm.
Bankers expect cheap money this COM
ing week. and there is possibility Of
gold being engaged abroad. Brokers are
tions, and the market leadership is be-
coming aggressive.
steel In Boom Condition.
Steel business continues, to grow, and
is rapidly getting into boom condition.
Premiums are being demanded for early
delivery in all departments. The wire
business is the greatest on record. Even
the smallest of the independents are now
getting all they can do because the over
Cow is so great from the big companies.
Particular attention Is being directed
in Wall Street to Union Pacific and
Great Northern stock. Rock Island Is
also in a peculiar position in this respect,
because its territory without exception
is bringing to harvest the greatest crop
ever known. particularly in corn. Atchi-
son has held back during the movement.
but it also will profit very largely from
the corn crop. although Oklahoma. which
lies in its territory, will be somewhat
disappointing in this respect.
In spite of the expectation that coal
rates will be reduced by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Lehigh Valley
and Reading were active and almost
bouyant.
Among specialties that are attracting
attention are Anglo-American OIL, which
is being picked up by the strongest in
terests. This company does what was
formerly the export business of the
Standard Oil Company, particularly that
having to do with England. The Copper
shares were all steady. They are being
held back by the strike of the Utah
property. The Coppers are all too cheap
in relation to other securities. Anaconda
will get a 75-cent dividend next Tuesday
for the current quarter, thus putting 1t
on a basis of Sc a share annually. and
Amalgamated naturally will get per
cent rate at the December declaration.
