Wall Street Review.
New York, Sept. 22 Tho speculative
tendency on tho stock matkot gained
decided force during the progress of
today's trading. Tho uneasiness
abroad was an element nt tho opening
and changes were small and inegular
and the tone of the speculation hesi
tating. The piessuie against Ameri
can Tobacco was in evidence and
Brooklyn Transit had a sttuggle to
overcome its opening decline. The
latter eventually moved upward and.
thought It fell once again below Ia3t
night's level. Its advancing tendency
nfterwards was a stimulating Influ
ence on tho tuaiket throughout the
day. Tho stocks of New York city
corporations showed close with the
movement in Brooklyn Transit an!
many rumois were piovalent to ac
count for the movement, pointing o
a plan of unltv of control of nil the
public utilities in the greater cltv of
New York. Net gains In this group,
Including Manhattan, Metropolitan
Street Railway, Brookljn Transit and
lliooklyn Union Gas ranged from ll4
lo C points. The movement In the
specialties was most conspicuous
throughout tho day, but a rather not
able demand sptang up for the rall
loads, attracted bv a sudden rise In
Omaha nt 7'4. In Northwest of 4, and
In New York Central of V,i. These
gains were not maintained, but there

Coal, American Hoop nnd Federal

rose an additional 1V6 on rumors of an
additional dividend. There was a very
heavy demand In tho last hour for
tho leather stocks, which wore a mate
rial factor In overcoming the reaction
ary tendency of the mnrket. Unite 1
States Leather common advanced to
