The Market Apparently Shaping For & Broader Movement. The circular of Henry Clewes, under date of New York, September 3, says: ‘It has been an off week on the Stock Exchange. Many operators and blg leaders are away, the last week of August being the height of the holiday season, and their return does not begin until alter Labor day. The hot spell was also an added cause of Inactivity. As for the general market it showed little change. At times prices displayed & little irregularity under fresh rea izing and renewed bear attacks; but the un- dertone of the market remained strong and no fresh sources of weakness were d~veloped. “Much more importance was attached to the prospects of tight money than the situation warranted. Both lenders and operators for a decline in stocks would like to see a mote strin- gent money market, but they are likely to be disappointed.

NEW YORK, Sept The bears got the upper hand very decisively In the stock market to-day and precipitated a more active selling movement than has vet occurred. There was speculative liguidation during the afternoon on & very large scale, and offerings of long stocks wind 76. in some properties which had elements of weakness were material factors in the de- cline. Sugar occupied the center of the stage all day. It was evident before the market opened that the bears had marked it for thelr own, and everything that could be dope In the | way’ of discouraging reports of the cgmpany's business and disastrous competition in prospect was done through the medium of inspired pub- lications, The movement was opportune, as the cent bull movement in the stock was accompanied by rumors of an increase in the dividend, and the declaration to-day of only the usual dividend broug#k heavy seiling from dls:lp{\nlnlml holders. Torrents of stock were dislodged on the decline, and all the usual devices were employed to give an appearance of inside 1ling. The final rally in the stock ‘was only feeble, the last price belng 5% per cent below last night's closing. The demoral- jzation in Sugar affected the whole list, but especlally the industrials. The Pacific stocks ‘were conspicuously weak on realizinz in con- nection with the announced determination of Canadian Pacific officlals to accept the decls- fon of the Interstate Commerce Commission asainst the differential in thelr favor In freight rates. Demand sterling fell further to-day to $4 85% and gold 1s expected to come this week, a emall consignment being announced after the close of the market to-day. Bonds were dealt in on a fairly large scale and prices yielded siightly in_the later deal- ings. Total sales, $3,735,000. United States 3s, when fssued, advanced % per cent in the bid price. Government bonds were otherwise un- changed.

T.—Liverpool cables were rather disappointing and that, together with the weakness displayed by corn, rtarted wheat lower. The receipts in the northwest were smaller and the markets in that quarter were firmer. This resulted in a gradual change of sentiment here and there was some buying for the long account which finally started shorts covering and materially helped the price, The feeling among the bulls generally was that the market had had nearly everything against it of late, and yvet had been o stubborn as to | indicate that 1t possessed a good deal of in- | herent strength. They argued that prices were | more likely to rally than to meet with further loss and for that reason traders as a rule took the long side. Advices from Minneapolis said the movement there for the next three months wvould be.on an increased scale. That, in ad- dition to the declining corn market, resulted | in cooling the ardor of the bulls and under real- izing and short selling the price graduwally de- clined until the early gain was more than lost. The market closed near the low point for the day. There was very little demand for ship- ping parcels here, and such bids as came to and were at reductions'and unworkable.
