London Holiday Contributes to
.Languishing Speculation
on Exchange Today.
ROCK ISeAND PRESSURE
UNSETTLES PACIFICS
Feature of Short Session, Sharp Re.
covery in Sterling Exchange
Rates-Bonds Easy.

NEW YORK. September 2o.-Quota-
tons drifted downward slowly on the
first transactions today. Union Pa
cific was the only active stock to open
above yesterdays close, and it quickly
gave way until it showed a loss IF
point.
There was active selling Of Reading,
Steel and Southern Pacific all of which
were set back by substantial fractions.
Canadian Pacific dropped u.s.
Rock Island was again under pressure
and dropped point to 1411, a new low
record for the movement
Shorts took stocks on a scale down,
and their buying soon stopped the de-
cline. Prices later went back to yes
terday's close.
The market closed firm. Speculation
languished during today's urief ses-
sion. The holiday in London cut off the
chance of leadership from that Source,
and at home traders saw nothing in the
situation to provide fresh impulse.
Bare of Actual Stock.
Bears were not inclined to follow up
the advantage gained at the opening,
when they forced down Rock Island to
new low price for the movement and
unsettled the Pacifics. Attempts to get
back stock revealed the character Of
the selling, the market apparently
being bare of actual stock.
BY the time the average had been re-
stored to yesterdays closing level i'm
terest In the market had vanished. The
only feature of financial Importance
was the sharp recovery in sterling ex-
change rates. Demand bills jumped 25
points to near 4S6
Scarcity of cotton and grain bills and
preparation for renting funds to
meet the interest and dividend pay
ments due abroad caused the rise
Bonds were easy.
Weeks Market Narrow and Dull.
Contrasted with the striking display of
strength by stocks in the days just pre-
ceding, this weeks market was narrow
and dull. Heavy profit taking at the be-
ginning of the week scaled down the re-
cent advance and fluctuations thereafter
were wavering. On neither side of the
market were the professional operators
able to make Roadway consistently and
speculative sentiment appeared to be con-
fused as to the immediate outlook
Stiffening of money rates operated as a
director check to increased speculative
activity. Both time and call loans were
higher, and the practical difficulty in the
way of financing an extended bull move
ment tended to restrict efforts to carry
further the vigorous bidding up of prices
of last week
Trade news in general was cheerful.
European copper supplies showed a fur
Their decrease. but at home the price Of
the metal was raised by some producers
to IL cents. The foreign trade state
ment for August showed a striking gain
in exports. Improvement in the invest
ment market was indicated by the speedy
absorption of $1O,UO,OOO Baltimore ~
per cent equipment trust certificates,
which were sold on "a per cent basis.

attending the reunion at Chattanoo-
ga OF her trip there she says:
Il am glad to say l made the trip
to Chattanooga, Tenn, and was in
the machine every day, seeing the
sights. l visited every battlefield
/ and rode up some steep mountains
to view the city which looked like
child's playground from the noun
tain top.
But the grandest sight was the
old heroes on parade. All wore smil-
ing faces and were glad to meet each
other or any one with a badge on.

colors, and was saluted by hundreds,
even showered with flowers.
"Oh, felt young again. did not
go up the incline, but left my crowd
and machine and began to climb
Point Lookout. The crowd yelled to
come back. went quite good ways
and took seat and got back without
assistance.
"Thc saddest thing l saw was the
bloody pond where a hundred were
bathed. My thoughts ran this way:
If the South's best blood was in that
pond 1t would rise to the top, while
the hireling of other nations would
sink like lead.
"The most amusing thing l saw
was an old servant who went
through the war. He was dressed
In gray suit and brass buttons and
on his coat was a cross of honor.
He was in the parade while others
yelled when the bands played
