New York, September 14.-Today has
been more of an evening up process
than anything else. The market has
been sold out for several days and
shorts have been taking back some of
cir stocks. This is very noticeable
in Steel General Motors and New
Haven elements, which have been very
prominent in making the market ac-
tive have restricted their trading and
consequently we are getting down into
one of the quiet, waiting markets. AS
the time approaches for the liberty
loan, the money market is working
closer. Time loans are almost unob-
tainable. What little money that can
be gotten that way is SO-day money
at per cent. No announcement is
made in regard to copper prices. While
there seems little chance for the time
being of a broad, bull markt there are
plenty of gilt-edge stocks which can
be picked up. Northwestern, Great
Northern pfd., Southern Pacific, Atchi-
son, Western Union and many others
of that kind are selling below panic
prices

RIGHT ABOUT FACE
IN STOCK MARKET
Bear Raids Are Overdone.
Revival Of BuIlish In,
terests Noted

New York, September IA broad and
vigorous upturn in stocks today offset
in part the losses sustained in the last
few days. At the top prices there was
a representative showing of advances
ranging from l to points, and although
these gains were scaled down on late
realizing, the net result was material
Improvement of position.
The advance was accompanied by re-
vival of bullish interest and outside
buying increased considerably. There
was some feeling that the bears had
oyer-reached themselves in their recent
attacks on speculative favorites and the
scarcity of these stocks forced the
shorts to raise their bids rapidly to meet
their requirements. Liquidation of in
vestment shares was suspended, and is
sues which have developed marked weak
ness recently were prominent in the
rise.
The upward swing was facilitated by
the announcement from Petrograd that
the insurrectionary movement has been
mastered by the provisional government.
In the exchange market rubles responded
strongly. The rate was advanced to lie,
as compared with the recent low record
of 111Sc
In the railroad list New Haven, con-
srieuously heavy recently, was sold at
an advance of more tsiana points.
Reading, Delaware and Hudson, st.
Paul Canadian Pacific and other recent
weak features were in good demand at
higher prices. In the Industrial section
there was an active inquiry for the
coppers, steels, oils, motors, equipments
and shipping shares.
decided better tone prevailed in
the bond market Active issues adj
vanced higher, although the bid and
asked quotations for some. of the less
prominent liens continued to be wide
apart. Liberty bonds reflected brisk
investment demand, with large transact
lions at par after early sales at 1894.
Total sales of bonds, par value, $3.50, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

1t was apparent from the action of
today's stock market that the extreme
greatness had disappeared and a return
to sanity was in order. There were a
few traders who charged around try
ing to sell everything and anything, but
the panicky feeling had gone and when
these extremists tried to get their stocks
back they found bargain hunters and
investors had accumulated enough
shares, SO they had to bid against each
other to cover. Pricesfor seasoned divi-
dend stocks are still on the bargain
counter, and while it is true there will
be caution on the part of the big bank
ers in loans and any sort of expansion

Chicago, September H.-Corn: Pros
pect of unsettled cooler weather drove
remaining shorts to cover. In addition
to this demand there was considerable
effort made by local operators to adj
vance prices further. flattening out
of demand for old corn, reported con-
signments of new corn in ST. Louis. freer
offerings of old corn by the west and
press reports looking toward possible set
tlement of the war, changed the entire
complexion of the market. The closing
tone is heavy and the Immediate future
will depend upon the appearance of the
weather map tomorrow morning and
over Sunday.
Oats: There has been a general rush
to cover short oats, headed by the lead
ing elevator interests. Volume of trade
has been large and there are indications
that the tension has been considerably
