STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. - Profess
sional interests dominated today's less
active and more restricted stock mar
ket Efforts OF bull pools in several
prominent industrial and special Is
sues proved aDortive, leaders showing
losses of one to 21s points at the
heavy close.
BALDWIN Locomotive again featured
the dealings at an extreme rise OF l12
points, but closed at loss of slight
~ more than point. Among afflliat-
ed issues, also OILS, steels, motors and
rails, heaviness prevailed. Sales,
100000.
Apart from the operations of pools,
stocks were influenced largely by the
money market. An opening rate of >
per cent tor call loans gave way to
Az PEI cent at noon but belated bor-
rowers forced the quotation back to
D per cent in the final hour.
There was no other explanation for
the unexpected stiffening OF the mon
ey market. Local bands evidently
having taken all necessary measures
yesterday to meet todays very large
income tax payments.
Dividend omissions by sugar compa-
MES and one of the minor steel pro-
ducers indicated further REIMBURSEMENT
of the industrial situation. This was
balanced in part, however, by the high
er prices posted by independent steel
manufacturers.
International remittances again
took their cue from London. THAI
market sent over lower quotations for
all leading exchanges, including
marks, which duplicated the early
weeks low record. Later rates were
firmer, sterling making full recovery.
Another decline in the Argentine rate
was attributed to reports of a sus-
pension of negotiations for a loan to
hat government.
Extensive dealings in Liberty issues
With marked strength in the 3I2s,
was the feature of the bond market
Other domestic bonds and most of the
lnternationals, including United King
Iom of 1887 were lower. Sales, par
value, $14,S50,000.

his career as a gun fighter at the
age of 20 in a town called Adobe

house fell on Bat and his bunlxy
