day chiefly from prospects of sus-
tanned liberal receipts here. The mar

varied from II decline to 10 ad-

Likelihood that the movement Of
corn to market would increase from
now on seemed clear, inasmuch as the
number of requests from the country
for shipment permits had broadened
out, and in a great majority OF cases
had specified corn. Other evidence,
too was at hand indicating that an
pnnsual amount of old corn was still
held on farms, and, now that the new
rsDp had beceane assured, was press
ing to be disposed OF. Dread of in

VARIED INFLUENCES
AFFECT THE Market
Reduction Of Speculative Accounts

Gates Flow of Outside Orders.

NEW YORK, September GA stu
alton wholly inverse in character was
reflected by the movement of prices In
the stock market this week as COM
pared with the previous week. In
stead Of daily liquidation. impelled by
the wish to respond to government
desires that speculation be reduced to
a minimum, constant buying was in
evidence, particularly after the mid
week The very strictness with which
Wall street abided by the federal
mandates had what was described as
a house cleaning effect-heavy re-
duction of speculative accounts. with
lack of inclination on the part Of pro-
fessionaI interests to borrow money
from banks even had this capital been
available.
This progress served to infuse the
more hea1thful atmosphere sought by
the government and to leave the way
clear for all influences of the CUE
tomary bullish character to exert
themselves without being opposed by
the artificial restraint of the previous
week.
Influences Diversified.
These favorable influences were di-
versi6ed. Trade conditions were i'm
proved: money supplies were more

excellent Moreover, support was
stimulated by the progress OF the al
lied armies on both the western and
ed outside buying. especially at the
week end, when it became plainly evil
dent that the market had become over
sold during the REIMBURSEMENT of spec
ulative accounts.
Attention was conferred to a large
extent on the course of foreign bonds
in connection with developments on
the battlefields. Prices forged ahead
steadily.
The scope of the buying movement
was interpreted as indicating some ac-
cession of outside orders. which con-
tributed to comprehensive advance

fessional character, with more general
buying for the long and short account.

amounted to 10000 shares.

The result of the conference between
the iron and steel interests and the
War Industries Board on the subject of
prices for the last quarter is not yet
known. although an agreement has
been reached.
It is fairly safe to assume that there
will be no change in the prices of
manufactured steel products Iron
producers based their claims for ad-
vance on cost of labor and higher
transportation rates. Merchant fur
naces declared they were unable to
continue at present schedules.

the newcomers and the larger diStri-

others:
The Fourth Liberty Loan.
While bankers believe that the
fourth liberty loan will be success
fully doated during the short cam
larger percentage of the issue will
have to be taken by the thrift savers
on the theory that the corporations
and the man of wealth-speaking of
a class-have had their incomes SO
seriously reduced by taxes, passed
they will not be in position to do us
well in buying liberty bonds in the
fourth campaign as they have in the
other three previous.
1t is recalled that subscriptions of
over $4,000 furnished about so per
cent of the second liberty loan bond
sale and probably large percentage
OF the third loans.
Every indication seems to show that
the canvas of the individual buyers
will be more strenuous than in pre-
vious campaigns, the various regional
committees going into smaller COM
munfties with more urgent efforts,
while the action Of the Federal Re
serve Board in giving to local COM
mittees the right to ask banks for
lists of subscribers and amounts of
their subscriptions would seem to be
directed to the same line of pushing
individual effort.
Thousands of patriotic people have
their all tied up in investments in
railroads and other corporations and
are experiencing trouble in getting
dividends, while the increased cost of
everything that enters into domestic
economy has reduced their savings to
q point where they cannot do as much
in the way Of bond buying as they would
Nke to.

Carrying New York Stocks

shares for their clients. 1t is also es-
timated that this is a little more than
half of the usual amount in reason

strong conservative control of tho

In this restrictive movement. In the
interest of essential war activity and
conservation of funds for this pur-
pose, stock brokers are aiding e6oc-
lively from patriotic motives. even
though II cuts their profits.
They can find much satisfaction.
however, in the fact that trading
profits. with call money steadily hoiu-

very much less than when the same

Local Securities.
The market for local securities has
attracted very little attention during
the past week. nor is there any posi-
until conditions change materially for
the better.
Just what is needed to produce a
change remains to be seen. The one
radical change is an increase in fare
for the traction companies-no mat

the two systems. the returns on the
traffic must be larger to make salts

the heavily increased expenditures Tor
labor and materials.
Bonds in the local market compare
very favorably with values in other
markets, with few exceptions the re-
stricted character of the trading be-
ing against certain issues. which in a
broader market would do much bet

Bank shares hold their own steadily,
but there is never any speculation in
these issues, nor yet much change OF
ownership.
