W YORK STO NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The unsettled tone of the speculative. mind over the money market outlook was relieved to-day by the announce- ment of further gold Imports. Actual engage- ments were announced of $1,600,000 and ru- mors were rife of very heavy additional sums which are to come this week. Rates for call loans on the exchange broke sharply to 24 N) MARKET. per cent from a high point in the morning on | small transactions of 4% per cent. A very active buying movement developed which was in large part from professional traders who had gone short on the market on a conviction that money rates would hold firm for a time and that call money would be subject to occasional flurries from the calling of loans that would shake out large quidation of stocks. The course of the exchange market gave warning early In the day that relief was at hand for the money market in the form of gold imports. Posted rates were marked down % and actual rates fell ¥, the price for demand sterling reaching $4 834, which is easily within the gold import point. The market during the earifer part of the day was largely confined to the specialties. Sugar, tobacco and the constit- uent companies of the new Federal Steel Com- pany were all markedly weak. The rallroads fallied early in the day, but were weakened | by the decline in the specialties. They offered strong resistance to decline, however, and ad- vanced easily and quickly all through the list after midday. The local traction stocks, in- cluding Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhattan and Metropolitan, were also strong. The in- | dustrial speclalties recovered nearly all their losses 1n the afternoon on covering of shorts, Sugar was an exception. This stock opened off 2i per cent, allowing for the 3 per cent dividend. It rallied 2 per cent but in the late dealings it fell an extreme 4% per cent. There was very determined support at and below 127 and the bears desizted from thelr attack. Thi gave time for the general market to rally ag: o about the best, the closing being active and firm at net gains reaching a point or over in many stocks. The grangers and Pacifics were consplcuous in the raiiroad list. The effect of the easier money market was in large part sentimental, as the stock market depression has been due to apprehension of future strin- gency, rather than to actual conditions. The conviction had gained force for severai days that the scarcity of money Is apparent rather than real and the fact that the payments on the Government loan are almost completed gives promise of early rellef from the drain on that account. The Government disburse- ments in the form of expenditures and the distribution of the new bonds are certain to result in a plentiful supply of easy money at an early date. There was a growth of de- mand for bonds and prices rallied In sympathy with stocks in the latter part of the d To- tal sales, $2,500,00. United States $s advanced % In the bid price. There were large transactions in the 3s at 105% €o_105%, the latter being the last price.

CHICAGO, "Sept. 14.—Some weakness - was created {n wheat at the opening on account of Liverpool showing from %@%d decline in face of yesterday's strength on this side. The slight reduction at which first transactions were effected soon gave place to firmness and %c advance when it was ecen how small the offerings were and how much was wanted. Several items of news telegraphed Immediately after were of a bullish character and were re- sponsible for the increased demand that put up the price. New York reported liberal Continental ac- ceptances of last night's offers and also buy- ing orders for futures from abroad. Foreigners likewise bought here. A small cargo of No. 2 spring wheat was worked here direct to Lon- don by a firm that handled a good deal of the wheat shipped abroad by Leiter during the cur- rency of the latter's operations, and it was showed signs of revival. Minneapolis wired that 2%c over the December price was $id | there ‘to-day for wheat to arrive any time in Octover. Demand here for prompt shipment opened up strong, with heavy sales reported he first. hour of ‘the session.’ The movement of the domestic crop was bearish as regards the spring and bullish concerning winter wheat. The close was at a gain of 3c for September and Yc for December. Corn was fairly firm for a short time and |‘then became uncompromisingly heavy, with longs selling out disgustedly and shorts rub- | bing_in the agony without offering to cover | much until late in the session. December de- clined 3e. The general trade in oats was stimulated by |'a good demand and small receipts. May closed | unchanged to 3¢ up.

The hospital extols the virtues of hot oll as more eflicient than boiled water in sterilizin, instruments, espeeially syringes. Olive ofl at a temperature of 820 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit acts very quickly and with great power. To ob; tain complete steriiization of the instru® ments it suffices to 'dip them for an in- stant into the hot ofl, and in the case of- syringes it is sufficient to fill them twice with ofl at the temperature men- tioned. The temperature of the heated oil may be determined by a thermome- ter, which certainly is the scientific way; but Professor Wright of the Netley Hos- gnal, in England, suggests the very crude ut rough and ready method of dropping a bread crumb into the ofl, which be- comes brown and crisp as soon as the required temperature is obtained. ' THE STOCK MARKET, ‘There was a recovery in mining stocks, and the leaders showed a marked advance over the preceding day. The report of the different Comstock superintendents to the executive committee has been recived here and is under- stood to be favorable to the deep mining prop- osition. The advance in shares is due to this favorable report. The executive committee will meet at once and act upon the report. There was the usual good business in local securities and prices were firm as a rule. The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company has declared a regular monthly dividend of 50 cents per share, payable September 20. The Mayflower Gravel Mining Company of Placer County has levied an assessment of 5 cents per share, delinquent October 10. BTOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. 3 WEDNESDAY, Sept. 143 p. m. Bid. Ask. Bid. Ask.
