FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET The Shorts Made Several Intellectual
 Attempts to Depress Prices.

New York, Sept 29.-The shorts made several intellectual efforts to de- press prices in the stock market to- day, concentrating their attacks up- on rails and speculative industrials. Recessions of 1 to almost 8 points were recorded during the first half of the session, but prices rebounded cas- fly when it became evident support was forthcoming. eS
 New York Central. St. Paul, Cana dian Pacific and Delaware & Hudson were heaviest of the rails. but rallied on the later strength shown by Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and minor issues.
 United States Steers extreme re- versal of 1 1-s points was succeeded by net gain of a moderate fraction and initial losses in coppers and equipments gave way to final ad- vances of point or whereabouts.
 Consistent strength was manifested by distillers securities at gross ad- American Cans, Mating preferred, Central Leather and General Motors. Closing quotations were for the most part at the days highest levels. Total sales amounted to 225.0o0 shares.
 A slight weakening of sterling ex- change, ascribed to the f1rmer do- mestic money rates. was the only al teration noted. in the market for for eign remittances.
 Liberty bonds were again a, note worthy feature, many lots changing hands from par to the new premium of 100.30, at which a few bonds sold for cash. The general bond market was irregular, total sales par value, aggregating $2,745,00e.
 United States bonds Gold issue) were unchanged on call during the week.
 The weekly bank statement present. ed no features of especial interest. the actual condition of local institutions showing an expansion of $46, 900, 900 in loans and a. contraction of about S5- 750, 1000 in excess reserves.
