New York, Sept 14 The greater part
of gains In prices which were estnb
Ilshed yestcidny and during the cat Her
part of today weie wiped out In tho
latter part of the day's trading. A pe
riod of almost stagnation succeeded
until the announcement of the fixing of
tho St. Paul dividend at the icgular
rate. The largo silling of the Giangers
Induced by this was met vy suppoitlng
oiders which tallied prices fiom the
lowebt. Losses .ire the mle of the day,
however, which extend to a point In
mnny nctlve stocks. The into foi
money was not lifted above the lower
level established In csterday's 10
lapse nnd the lenctlon In prices can
not be attributed to calling of loans It
was rathei due to a leconslderatlon ot
the optimistic view engendered yes
teiday by the raising of the money nnd
the sensational eftect ot tho treasury
department's decision to anticipate the
payment of October interest on gov
ernment bonds Yesterday's upiuud
movement hns been l educed to Us4iu
propoitlons of a benr set amble to cover
shoit contracts after hiving oversold
tho market In the msh of heavy liqui
dation on the preceding days. Esti
mates varied widely as to whether the
liquidation had proceeded to sulllclent
lengths to lelnforce the banks ngalnst
the present and futuie demand upon
their cash resouices. Money continue-,
to move to the Interior nnd the banks
have patted with upwards of $1,001,0110
to tho sub-treasury since last Friday
There was no evidence today of n fui
ther urgent contraction of credit but
tho outlook for the futuie Is that fui
ther liquidation may become neces
sary. Foreign houses aie leported to
have put out considerable sums In
leans esterday and today and this
may account for tho compaiatlvc firm
ness of the foreign exchange maiket
Discounts haidened today in London
and Beilln In spite of the Improved
condition reflected by the Bank of Eng
land's weekly statement and London
bought stocks model ately In New Yoil.
In continuation of the foitnlghtly set
tlement. The failure to Increase the
St. Paul dividend Is also lepoited as un
Intimation that present piosperous con
ditions of the lallroads are not so well
established but that ample provision
must be made against recession. The
extreme decline from the onily high
point ranged from 1 to 2 points veiy
generally amongst the active railroads
The Giangers and Trunk Lines weie
especially affected. In tho specialties
movements wore widest. Brooklyn
Tianslt was undei pressuio all day and
In the final dealings bloke its pievious
low record on tho movement and fell
to S4'4, at which point It closed 4 be
low yesterday. Tennessee Coal ranged
over 3' points nnd closed with a net
loss of 2. Sugar. Tobacco, the local
municipal stocks, People's Gas, the lion
nnd steel stocks, wete all weak befoie
tho close of the day. A number of ob
scure stocks showed wider movements
than the nvorage. Pullman, Tw In City
Rapid Transit, Mobile and Ohio nnd
Pacific Coast, common and second pie
fened, gained between 2' and 4 points
nnd Knlcketbocker Ice dropped 5!,i.
The United Stutes Milling stocks con
tinued their upwurd cout.se and
gained l'i each. Total sales, 4SI 700
