McADIE, | | | NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—There was consid- erable further contraction of active stocks in the stock market to-day and the animation which has been shown on the previous days of this week was lacking. The speculative dis- | appointment caused by the reduction of the | aividend on Reading first preferred was partly | responsible for the pause in the speculative ac- | tivity. It was apparent that some sharp losses were incurred by the plunging in Reading yes- terday before the dividend reduction was an- sounced, and in Atchison on the day before | previcus to the report of the shrinkage in July | net earnings. There was some further selling | in these stocks to-day and Iilinois Central re- acted sharply from yesterday's show of | strength. | Busted holders on margin had relaxed, prices | were pushed up here and there with a rather sustaining effect on the rest of the market. | No stocks of the first grade were concerned in | this movement, which was confined to minor | raiiroad stocks’and to some rarely active epe- ! cialties, notably the Gas stocks and the Express | stock: Talk of the consolidation accompanied | the rise in both cases. loss-Sheffleld Steel’s strong rise was unexpected. . ment in Canadian Pacific séemed to be due to reports of the redemption of the company's land grant bonds, The Toledo and St. Louis and Western stocks and the Wisconsin Central Railroad stocks and the St Joseph and Grand Island stocks enjoyed the benefit of the revival of old rumors of absorption by stronger interests. Col- orado Fuel's early break on the proclamation of renewed hostilities: between the contending interests in the property was followed by & | violent recovery and a gain by reaction. The | undertone of the market was decidedly im- | | proved after the early pressure rélaxed, but there was no disposition toward the revival of enthusiasm with which stocks have recently been bought. The improved feeling was partly due to the report in the | country of the measures in contemplation | for the relief of the financial situation. | port was formulated that the large banks were concerting measures to provide by purchase or | borrowing & sufficient increase in holdings of | Government bonds to enable them to expand their note circulation to a substantial degree. it is hoped that banknotes can be shipped to the interior to meet the demand for eirculation and thus afford protection to the reserves of lawful money with the banks. The deposits at the subtreasury for transfer fo the interfor to- day amounted to $400,000, of which $200,000 was for New Orleans and ,000 for San Fran- cisco. The bond market was less active to-day and irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,460,000. United States oid 45 advanced % per cent on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Sales. High. Low. Close.

Chicago Grain Market. & s CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—Bright weather gener- ally was the bearish factor in the grains to- day. Wheat remained weak and was active only in spots. -With lower cables and weather the best that could be desired, there was a €004 amount of long selling early and prices took a quick turn. There was constant talk of a big movement of spring wheat soon and | good prospects for better grading. Active threshing of the new Wheat was reported un- der way. Following weeks of adverse weath- er, the sunshine turned all the crowd to the bearish view and stop-loss selling orders came out. After the break, however, there was £00d buylng at times. Tn general, the aspect of the wheat market indicated that the big longs wanted to get out of the market be- fore it found a lower level and the support was largely by those who covered for a profit. September _started Yc to %c lower at 70%c to 70%e, dipped to 69%c and then fluctuated very narrowly, closing weak and %c and 1c lower at 69%c and 7oc. Corn felt the effects of fine weather, low- | er cables and rather freer offerings. The ‘crowd turned uniformly bearish at the opening and on the Initial slump September Was at one time two cents depressed. Almost every one in the pit had stuff for sale. There was a late rally on fairly good buying, but the close was weak, with September c lower at B6%c. Oats displayed the best strength of the grains and ruled strong after an early dip. Ehort covering and good buying by cereal con- cerns put & firm tone in the pit. closed firm, 3¢ up at 33%c. Weakness in the hog and grain markets worked against provisions. Early in the day | there was an effort on the part of the pack- ers to support the market, but free offerings | Tesulted from the general bearish sentimeat on the floor and there were marked slum; 1l along the line.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Business on the Stock Exchange to-day was restricted but firm. Consols dropped to 94 7-16 and then rallied to 94 11-16 on reduction in the speculative position, although the account is still large. Americans were very narrow, with a tendency to see-saw. They opened heavy on the cut in the Reading railroad dividend. The action of the -directors is criticized severely here. The old scandals in connection with the road were recalled and the market sagged in | consequence until the afternoon, when it ral- lied on New York support and the report that the United States Government intended to buy more bonds. The close was steady. Canadian Pacific was buoyant, going to 145 on repay- ment of land grant bonds. | New York Money Morket.
