MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wull Street Review.
New York, Sept, 18. The tendency of
tho stock market was upward until just
noiir tho clo&c, when prices ran oft frac
tionally on moderate sales to realise pro
fits. The earlir strength was due to the
announcement of the engagements of
$1,000,000 gold additional for Import, ru
mors that further amounts aggrcgaiiii
a million had been negotiated for and to
reports of a heavy demand for ocean
freight room which indicates that tne im
port movement of the metal Is likely to
continue for some time to come. The
principal buyers today as of lato wero
the bears, commission house business sun
being light In volume. SuRar, the Gran
gers and Manhattan morfonollzed tho
chief speculative attention. Sugar bound
ed up to 114. Tobacco was marked up to
62'i on vague reports of a resumption of
dividends. The Grangers, Manhattan.
Western Union. General Electric and
Leather Preferred moved up 4 to ! per
cent. Nenr the closo the Inquiry from the
shorts fell oft and at the same time there
were sales to realize profits. A reaction
of ViaHs per cent, followed Sugar, Man
hattan and tho Grangers showing tho
greatest losses. At tho close the market
was barely steady In tone. Net changes
show gains of Kn per cent. Manhattan
and Rock Island were exceptional and lost
VaVfc per cent. Total sales were 170.513
