Tlioro is always one clement to be found on all occasions that is willing to attempt to niiikc prollt out nf the distress or imperative necessities of the world, and that clement represents the professional traders in Iho Wall street district, Including the speculative memhers on the Moor and the bear plungers. Virtually every one else stopped business this morning and recognized the fact that when the Stock Kxchangn voted to close at noon It was Intended as a partial sacrifice of business interests, which Is only a slight burden for them to assume with war conditions prevailing. Jluny of" the active Interests In Wall street are nlicady represented In the service, with tho leading banking houses of the country represented by six sons of partners In the army and navy. Members ol the Kxchango and large and small operators, who had enough devotion for the Interests of tho nation to Join in the demonstration on the furewell to the troops, were away from tho Street tho entire day nnd their absence left tho market In the hands of the bear cliques and traders. Naturally, with these conditions prevailing, prices declined. United States Steel common, after sellng at 110?i, fell to below 119. Minor steel industrials were offered down, with Crucible Steel yielding more than two points, nnd then hear efforts were diverted to the railway Issues, with Delaware and Hudson hammered down to below par for the first tlmo since it has been established on the list on a paying basis. Specialties nnd coppers were attacked In turn, nnd at the close nearly every thing ranged materially below yesterday's final prices.

Mtt.ninrr Villi-. T.nHPH flairi '.1 ana Active m irxui""B " Prices Mostly Lower For nil tho business that was done on the Philadelphia Stock Kxchango this afternoon the exchange might Just as well liavo closed at noon, when Wall Street wound up trndlng for the day. Traders In brokers olllces and on tho floor of the Kxchange figured that It was a good tlmo to take an afternoon off, which many of them did, with tho result Hint tha trading which did take place from midday on was between a very small number of traders. The ticker stood still from nbout 2:15 to tho close, when the bid and asked prices came over. During tho morning there was a little show of life, with Lake Superior brought out In more volume than has been the case In some time. Then the stock was advanced nearly l'j points, becoming tho most nctlve of the home group, but In tho afternoon this gain was lost and the price stood un changed In the late session. Tho early activity and strength In the stock wns attributed to tho election of Wilfred II. Cunningham, a Philadelphia!!, ns the president of the company, this in tho minds of the Street being a recog nition for the large Interests In the com pany which nre held In this city. Hfcs Superior Income bonds gained 3 points in n Most of tho trndlng was in United states ' Steel common, which sold ex tha extra dlvl. dend of 3 per cent nnd tho regular quarttrlr ' disbursement of 1 Vi per cent. With thtii dividends figured oft tho stock showed 1 loss of 3li points. Except In this stock the price movements through the list were small, with the general tendency toward lower levels. Philadelphia Rapid Transit trust certificates lost a small fraction on very small trading.

NKW YORK, Aug. 30. Tho cotton market showed renewed nerv ousness this morning. Opening prices were 8 points higher on October, but generally 1 to 10 points lower, and the market soon sold off to a net loss of some 8 to 15 points under scattering liquidation local pressure nnd rather actlvo selling by some of the houses with Liverpool connections. Two private crop reports were Issued be fore tho opening, one of which made the avcrnge condition 68.2 and the other 69.6, and both of which pointed to a falling oft of 3.7 for tho month, compared with 6.6, the ten-year average. A later report from New Orleans, how ever, made the condition 70.5, which showed a deterioration of less than a point com pared with tho official report of last month. Business around the ring was still con sidered chiefly In the way of evening up accounts for over tho Government report, and the process was probably hurried by agitation for tho closing of the exchange this afternoon. Trading became .ess active as soon as It was found that the market would remain open until the usual hour. Later fluctua tions showed continued Irregularity, but they were narrower and prices held within a few points of last night's closing figures. during the middle or the morning. It was recalled around the ring that every Government report so far this season had been out of line with the average of the private condition figures and had caused sharp fluctuations. This probably Increased tho disposition to undertake very little fresh business In advance of the report topiorrow. les. uinso upen inch Low Last ...... lit .....I .'J.il.l ...22.20 22.25 22.42 ...22.20 22.22 22.30 ...22.34 22.30 32.50 ...22.50 32.40 22.03 ...23.40 LONDON STOCK MARKET Business Continues Dull and Price Changes Are Generally Narrow LONDON. Aug. 30. Business was again dull nnd hesitating on the Stock Kxchange today, nnd price changes as a rule were nnrrow. There was an absence of support In gilt edged securities, which were inclined to droop, but the collapse of the Allied Social 1st Conference here caused a comparatively steady undertone. Home rails were flabby and featureless and Canadian Issues were neglected aslda from Canadian Pacifies, which advanced slightly. , The department for American Railway shares was idle. A cheerful tono prevailed In Argentine rails because of the' expecta tion .of nny early advanco In rates. Im provement was shown in Brazilians be cause of the better exchange situation. Irregular changes were recorded In Mex lean Issues. An unsatisfactory exchange market and the news from Moscow caused wcuKiiess in itussian securities. Tho shades of the mining nnd oil com panies were steady, and rubber Issues weri Inactive. 4 Gold for South America and Japan NEW YORK, Aug. 30.
