Wheat was under bear influence
throughout the session. Domestic and

Holiday Air Pervades Ex-
change and Trading Is Al
most Wholly Professional.
COAL SHARES ARE AGAIN
PROMINENT IN TRADING
Virtually No Dealings in Foreign
Exchange, Which Eases Of
q Fraction.

NEW YORK, September ALL the
familiar holiday aspects were present
ed by today's two-hour session of the
stock exchange. Trading was very
hstless and irregular in tho first part,
but became more active at a generally
higher level later, with numerous net
gains Dealings were wholly profess
siona1, however, and represented to an
unusual degree the weekly settlement
of contracts. rather than the taking up
of new commitments.
Yesterdays revival of interest in the
coal shares was renewed, those issues
absorbing the major part of the over
turn. Colorado Fuel, Norfolk and
Western, Chesapeake and Ohio, West
ern Maryland and Virginia Iron, Coal
and Coke were the active features, the
latter advancing 7h points to 66.
Canadian Pacific Active.
In the final dealings Canadian Pa
cifc became active and strong, rising
points to 154x. u. S. Steel also made
its high quotation at that period. SELL
ing at 75A. y over yesterdays close.
In tho main. best prices were scored at
the end, the market then showing a
strong undertone Total sales amount
ed to 10000 shares.
Foreign exchange was a negligible
factor, there being virtually no deal
ings in remittances to Europe, except
a few bills on London, for which a rate
of 1861 was quoted. This was frac-
ton easier than yesterdays close.
Nothing more was heard about the for
eign credit projects now under consid
Grafton and definite details concerning
this important undertaking are likely
to be withheld until the arrival in this
country of the British and French
financial delegations.
Trade Reports Favorable.
Among the days railway returns for
July were Great Northern, showing a
net loss of $545, 1000. with a net gain of
$4,000 for Norfolk and Western. Gen.
eral trade reports were more favor
able. the middle west and northwest
showing greater activity in retail lines.
these being stimulated by wheat crop
prospects.
Local banks failed to make the pre-
dicted large cash gain, despite the
heavy gold inflow, the actual increass
being only about $5,o00,000. A reserve
increase of $4,300,000 increased the ex-
cess reserves to the record-breaking
total of almost 100000.
Today's bond market was irregular
with total sales. par value, $1,125.000.
u. S bonds were unchanged on call
during the week.

The weekly statement Of the condi-
ton OF tho federal reserve banks as OF
September 3. 1915. made public yester-
day by tho federal reserve board. indi-
Gates a gain in the gold reserve OF
$4,000 and a decrease in total re-
serve Of $4,000. The decrease OF
100000 in gold reserve and OF $780,
900 in other reserve reported by the
Philadelphia bank is moro than onset
by an increase of S3.200,000 in the
amount reported by Philadelphia as
duo from other federal reserve banks.
A gain Of s2.3o0.0o0 in the total re-
serve held by the New York bank Is
due mainly to increased credits in the
gold settlement fund. The total amount
of commercial paper held by the banks
shows an increase of $4,000 due
largely to increased holdings reported
by the Atlanta and Dallas banks.
decrease of $525,000 is shown in the
amount of bankers acceptances held,
mainly as a result of decreased hold
the New York bank. OF the total
amount of commercial and bank paper
held. lila per cent natures within ten
days and $50 per cent within thirty
days, as compared with 1914 and 1858 for
the week before: e6.S per cent of the
paper held is reported as maturing
within ninety days, while 80 per cent
is given as agricultural and livestock
paper maturing after ninety days.
Deposits Decrease $4,000, 900.
The amount of municipal warrants
held by the banks now stands at $24,-
O13. as compared with $25,S0S shown
for the previous week, the decrease
being due to a large amount of this
Nrk
bank maturing during the week. The
decrease of 100000 in "all other re-
sources" is largely the result OF de-
crease in the amount OF national bank
notes held by the St. Louis bank. An
increase of $4,000 in the capital stock
of the federal reserve banks is shown
for the week. Net deposits show de-
crease of $4,600.O00, all the banks ex-
cept Philadelphia and Kansas City re-
porting net withdrawals during the
week.
Federal reserve agents report total
of s114.500.000 net of federal reserve

American Securities Sold.
$3.50 for the pound, the cost Of re-

per cent. The increased advantage
of securing credits in New York led
to large sales Of foreign-owned stocks
here. Offerings Of merchandise at this
center, which would be stimulated in
ordinary circumstances, are not avau-

Steel Mills Have Orders
Close to Capacity Limit

NEW YORK, September 4.-Some ex-
element attended the purchase during
the week of steel blooms. billets and
bars to be used in the manufacture of
high explosive shells for the allies.
Sales aggregated 100000 tons, includ-
ing approximately 135, 900 tons rounds.

Some few round bars were sold for
shipment after January 1. but most of
ment except at further substantial ad-
vances.
Contracts Well Distributed.
Even for this years delivery, sales
Of billets and blooms were made at an
advance of from 50 to So per ton. The
contracts were we'll distributed among
plants at Chicago. in the Pittsburgh
district and in eastern Pennsylvania,
but the bulk of the business went to
Independent companies.
Few Of the Pittsburgh mills now
have any bar or billet capacity for
sales for the balance OF this year.
Some Chicago and eastern Pennsyl-
vania mills are not fully sold for the
last quarter of this year, but surplus
capacity is being fast taken. One con-
tract for 100000 three-inch high ex-
plosive shells and another for 100000
six-inch shells were placed for ship
ment to France, valued at $35, 100000.

Company secured an order for 100000
kegs of galvanized wire nails, and in
quirtes for 10000 tons of wire rods
