NEW YORK STOUKS AND BONDS, Stock Market Dull, but Distinetly Bonds Dull but Firm, NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Today's stock mar- ket was again excessively dull, but dis- tinctly strong. The three days which will Intervene before trading will be resumed prompted the closing up of speculative ac- counts and the fact that tomorrow is also a hollday in London emphasized this dis- positfon. It Is evidéht that the majority of outstanding accounts was on the short aide. There was no other obvious reasom for the strength of the market as the bulls were a3 unwilling to put out fresh commit- ments on the eve of the long holiday as were the bears. Atchison was the feature of the market both as to volume of deal- ings and width of movement, its extrems advance of 2% points easily distancing all other stocks. “There were some very heavy bear accounts covered on the advance which helped the upward movement and gave ground for the supposition that they were the object of the movement. But the extent of the movement gave rise to some surmises of an accumulation on a large geale possibly for purposes of control. Rock Island interests were pointed to by the current rumors and there seemed to be an effort to convey the Impression that Pen: sylvania_and Harriman interests were op- posing or competing with the accumulation. The Atchison movement had some sym- athetic effect on the general list but the jargest response was confined to the south- ern and southwestern corn and cotton car- riers. The movement may have been in part a reflection of the government report on cotton, which had continued Influence also in inducing liquidation in cotton. The corn market did not reflect any excess of confidence in that crop and the réports of frost In the northwest gave rise to some fears that the cold would extend into the corn belt. But the news of the condition of that crop In the lower portions of the belt conduced to a growth of confidence in the afety of that portion of the crop and 8o may have been an influence in the strength of southwestern railroad stocks. The tone of the recently reported utter- ances of the secretary of the treasury on the general business and financial outlook have an emergency effect on sentiment and his advoeacy of an emergency circulation fosters the hope of the financial district for such a measure. But the emphasis by the secretary in his published statement on the deposits being made of government money In the agricultural districts had somewhat the effect of an admonition against speculative uses of these funds. The forecasts of the currency movement of the week indicate a slight improvement in favor of the interfor, which, with the week's losses to the sub-treasury. show a robable decrease In reserve held by the anks of $,600,000. There have been some shipments to the south in connection with the cotton crop moving, but the movement on balance would have been in favor of New York had it not _been for the Jarge speclal movement to Boston which seems to have amounted to more than $2,000,000 and is attributed to a New York interest in_copper affaira, The complexion of the 1oan ftem 1s shrduded In the usual doubt. The closing was steady and very dull Bonds were dull and very firm and gov- ernment bonds continued to advance. Total sales par value, $765,000.

Traders were generally expect- ing @ heavier run and as a result the market held up in ggod shape, with prices steady to strong. There were only a few cars of cornfed steers_offered, and, while packers did not take hold with any too much life, they pald just about steady prices for all de- sirable grades. There were no stricily cholce cattle offered, as the top price of the day was $.50. For the week prices on good corn cattle are a little higher, or about steady with the first of this week. Cow stuff was in light supply this morn. ing, while the demand was active, so that prices ruled a little stronger. All the buy- ers were out early and took everything as Tapidly as oftered. As compared with the close of last week the general market is safely 10@i5c higher. Buils, veal calves and stags sold readily at steady prices. Bulls are a little higher than they were a week ago, but calves have not shown much change. Tn spite of the fact that the end of the week has arrived, speculators all seemed to be anxloys for stock cattle this morning and paid s(rong prices for the few that arrived. Yesterday they shipped out about fifty cars, so there will be very few carried over Sunday. As compared Wwith a week 2go, anything desirable Is 10@lfc higher. "Fhere were not enough western grass beef steers on sale this morning to make a market, but it would be safe to quote the market 'steady. Range cows sold at stronger prices and the same was true of stockers and feeders. Representative sales: BEKEF STEERS.

Heavy hogs improved fully as much as the lightwelghts and sold largely round 85,86, with somo heavy common at $.30.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—COTTON—The cotton market opened firm, 2 points higher to 8 points lower, the irregularity being due to the disposition among the room element to take profits or cover while the lower cables, particularly the decline in spots in Liverpool, encouraged further lquidation. After the call, however, the bulls supported prices moderately’ and there seemed a _disposition to expect some- what of a reactlon after the recent heavy losses. On buying of this description the market did a little better, but soon turned easler again and was forced down to & point or two under the finals of yesterday. Around this level It rued quiet and frregu- iar for a time, then around midday was rallied by bull traders, who did not care apparently to stay short of the market over three holldays, in view of the low temperatures in the northwest and fears that they might work downward into the belt. This buying corrled the market to the best level of the session, or net 7 points higher on September or 3 points lower on March. Later in thg day, however, the selling became very heavy. Liverpool ca- bles were heavy, sellers at the continent sold, and the south sent orders on the ghort side, whi'e large local houses also Were heavy sellers. The market was in fact in almost a panicky condition, and closed barely steady within a point or two of the bottom. with prices nel points lower. Sales were §00.000 bales. The Relling was of course directiy traceabls to the effect on general sentiment of yeste aay's bureau report. and the melling wi simply @ renewal of the movement noted Vesterday. The trading today was encour- aged by the large receipts, and aside from the low temperatures the weather was very favorable.

STRIKING CONTRAST WITH LAST YEAR Review Says that Present Conserv tive Condition Promises Ste Gains Than Former State of Business, NEW__ YORK, Sept. 4—R. G. Dun Co.'s Weekly & Review of Trade t morrow will say: A striking contrast ap- pears when comparison is made with the corresponding week last year. Prices were then tending upward in many branches of Industry, new business was coming for- ward more rapidly than it could be handle and in the security market all records fo activity and high prices were being sur- passed. Later events have demostrated that the situation was unhealthy, and peculative excesses have been followed by Conservatism Prospects for steady gains and thelr main tenance are brighter under the present sys tem. Legitimate trade will continue to suf. fer from the losses in speculation and the high rates for commercial loans will mili- tate against Industrial expansion, but in the long run a larger degree of caution should prove benofcial. Buyers are still coming to the leading markets in great number and testify as to the sound condi tion of business at the interfor. Manuf. turing plants are busy throughout N England aside from cotton mills and thero is notable activity in wearing apparel at the south, while prospects for a large fall retall trade are bright everywhere. Already there Is traffic congestion at sev- eral points, despite the fact that crops have only just begun to move and rallway earn- ings In August show gains of 9.3 per cent over last year Unprofitably low prices have had the ef- fect of curtailing production in the iron and steel Industry. Labor and other costs of production, with the single exception of fuel, are much higher, while consumers are slow to purchase cven at the extensive de- cline that has occurred during the cur- rent year. Ralis and other track supplies are in good demand, especially for prompt shipment and more orders are placed for structural material for bridges and buildings. A brisk demand 1s noted for merchant ;;!w- Sheet mills_and other divisions of the industry are in an uncertain position owing to the labor situation. More machinery will be idle next week at the cotton miils, the new crop of mat. rlal coming forward very glowly and av: able stocks being held at $rohibitive price Buyers of cotton goods in the primar market still_adhero rigldly to the policy of covering only immediate requirements But there Is & perceptible decrease In busi- For- prompt, yet wardings of footwear are more bing (rade there is apprehension in the jol regarding September deliveries. Failures this week In the United States are 191, against 218 last week, 238 the pre- ceding ‘week and 200 the corresponding week last year; and In Canada, 7, against 33 last week, 8 the preceding week and 19 last year. OROP .VELOPMENTS FAVORABL Improvement in Jobbing Trade a Monetary Conditions. NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Bradstreet's tomor- row will say: Crop developments have been mostly fa- vorable, fall jobbing trade reports indicato further improvement and monetary condi- tions_show less tension. The tone of gen- eral business is conservative and the ten- dency s to eliminate anything in the na- ture of speculation or over-extension from general business. Manufacturing Industry shows continued activity, except in_such lines as cotton and silk production, which note the influence of specfal conditions, and some lines of iron and steel. Some approach- ing slackening in anthracite coal 8 to be seen. Some Improvement is noted in car scarcity trouble and gross earnings of railroads continue large, but increased cost of operations of heavy improvement limit net results. ‘August suspensions foot up a larger total of liabilities, particularly of small finan- clal institutions and manufacturers. Col- lections are still rather backward, though some Improvement is noted where buck- ward crops have been realized upon, The tobacco crop promises well in Vir- inia, Connecticut and Ohlo. The New §ork’ state crop is estimated at 50,000, ns against 2,000 bales last year and 06,000 bales two years ago. The Oregon hop erop slightly smaller than in 1062, but prices are better. Dry_goods are in better demand from New York, Philadelphia and Boston jobbers, but businéss with first hands Is limited uncertainty as to the outlook for raw cot- ton prices and the small stocks of goods now being carrfed. In woolen g0ods a good demand for spring weights is noted, but worsteds drag siightly. Wool Is firm on demand sufficient to cover sales of goods. Lumber s active and firm at the west, but rather slow and dragging at the east, where labor conditions are not altogether Bettled. Solid jewelry manufac- turers are busy at the east, but the labor situation here is also unsetiled. Boot and shoe shipments are still above the 100,00- case mark t eastern centers and far ahead of last year. Prices of fron and steel, as a whole, show strikingly lttle “change. The hardware trade s tully up to expectations ‘Wheat, including flour, reports for the week ending September 3, aggregate 3,151~ 339 bushels, against 3,243,056 bushels last week and 621,20 bushels this week last 4,406,004 bushels in 1001 and 8,373,100 s in 1000.
