NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The reason for the | sudden reversal of speculativeopinion in to-day’s | stock market, so far as events of the day threw | any light upon it, was rather obscure. The bear | party, which was obviously intimidated on last Friday by the good support offered to stocks by inside interests and disappointed at the fallure of the money market to stiffen on the eve of the triple holiday, were apparently will- ing to take chances on the short side that they were afrald to venture upon for the interval during which no market would be available for them to close contracts in. Their renewed vigor in seliing stocks thus represented a re- newal of the bear campaign based upon the closer tendency of the money market which was interrupted by the holiday. The actual condi- tion in the ‘money market conformed pretty closely to what was expected on Friday, and which the Saturday bank statement served to confirm by anticipation, but the sterling ex- change market promptly responded to the closer condition in the local money market in & way to indicate the operation of forces at work for the relief of the market by drawing gold from | abroad. In cddition there was the announce- | ment of $/50,000 in Australian - gold at San Francisco, available for telegraphic transfer tc New York and the expected receipt later in the month of $1,250,000 to the same destination. In the prevailing sentiment of Friday the mark- ing up of the money rate which occurred to-day would have been ignored, if offset by these counter-effects. The ruling rate for call loans to-day was 3% per cent. None were made below 3 per cent and the rate ran up at one time to 4 per cent. Money was reported in abundant supply in London and the downward course of interest there was not affected by the drop in New York exchange. In fact, conditions were more cheerful in London this morning and the prospect of being called on for gold by New York is viewed with equanimity. London's kigher range for Americans had the effect of opening this market higher, but the opening prices proved to be the highest. The action of the foreign exchanges has been S0 anomalous of late that some distrust is felt of the present weakness as index of coming gold imports, Large loans are known to be making of foreign capital here, which involye the selling of long exchange, to be covered by purchase of sight exchange when the loans mature. It is known that arrangements have also been making in the Paris exchange market for meeting future requirements for the purchase of American wheat. The recent heavy export movement of Wwheat from here is to some extent artificial, Deing stimulated by demoralization of ocean | freight rates, caused by gthe extremely scanty demand for room to export merchandise. These factors all have a bearing upon the future of the foreign exchange market, promising some support at the period when exchange is gener- ally the weakest. When traders perceived large seliing to-day by brokers generally acting for interests which have consistently supported the market through all recent signs of weaknese, | the selling pressure became acute, causing de- | §lines of 1 to 3 points among the principal act- ve stocks, rangers ana Pac | Denver and Rio Grande e made net gains of § poln or the preferred. Railroad Total sales, par vaius. $508.00 " T orkened: Tnited States bonds were unchanged on the ! 1ast call. | NEW YORK STOCK LIST.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market had a firm opening to- day, but the cheerful feeling was short-lived, a general heaviness following the early strength. Paris came as a seller on an unlikely story to the effect that France, as a result of the quarrel with the Sultan, was preparing a naval demcnstration agalnst Constantinople and that Turkey was busy arming. stocks early in the day hesitated nervously awaiting New York's attitude after the triple holiday. When New York sold there was a general drop of from 1 to 4% points. The decline was on sales owing to the extremely narrow market. The close was pretty close to the bottom prices for the y. Money rates ruled easy.

News of the day was generally favorable to holders, but the trading was light. The fact that the amount afloat is decreasing in the face of heavy world's shipments was considered a bull argument, but this was partially offset, however, by the in- crease in home stocks. The visible supply statement was also a disappointment to hold- ers, showing over one and three-quarters of a million increase, instead of decrease, as antici- pated. December opened at 71%@71%c, but de- clined with corn, the low point belng reached at Tic. The close was Sc lower at 71@71%c. There were fluctuations in corn of over a cent, but the market was dull and lacked any special interest. - Higher cables caused a strong open- ing, but later on reports of improvement in the condition of the crop there was selling and prices declined. Trading was confined mostly !gylocsls. December closed %c lower at 56%@ 56%c. Oats opened steady, with prices a shade firmer in sympathy with corn. Later prices had a downward tendency along with other grains. Aslde from a little changing, floor traders did the bulk of the business. December closed %c lower at 35c. Provisions opened steady and prices were a shade easier on lower prices for hogs. The market lacked any particular features. January closed a shade lower, lard a shade lower and ribs unchanged.
