I < lintilntloit In 1'tlilenop Conneqiicnt
nil the Money Stringency.
NEW YORK , Sept. H.-Forced liquidation
was In evidence all day on the S-tock ex-
cange as the consequence of the efforts
of the banks to reduce their deposit lia
bilities by a reduction of loans. Saturday's
bank statement revealed the fact that the
surplus reserves were approaching exhaus
tion and with the Imminent prospect of In
roads being made upon the legal reserve
had prepared the speculative public for
some such development The continued de
mand from Interior sources for money and
payment for taxes In the subtrensury today
confirmed the expectation. The market
went down under successive floods of of
fers. At various times during the day the
pressure of silling seemed to ha\o ex
hausted Itself. The rally In prices at such
'times ' was feeble nnd the trading became
very dull , the demand being at a minimum.
The standard stocks suffered In nn equal
degree with thn more speculative Indus
trials. This feature was doubtless due In
some pa.'t to the recent disinclination on
the part of money lenders to accept the In
dustrials as collateral for loans. It v\as ,
therefore , the standard stocks which weie
throv.ii upon the market by the- calling of
loans
Aside from a few of the Iron and steel
stocks , which have been under recent
manipulation for n rise , the largest losses
of the day are 'n ' such , stocks as the grang
ers and trunk lines There were a few-
spots In the railroads that were relatively
flrm. notably Louisville , Southern Paclflc ,
Union Pacific and Northern Pacillf. The
bears seUed the opportunity of the pre
vailing depression to put out extensive
short lines. Brookljn Rapid Transit was
a notable sufferer and was raided do n to
within a uuarter of the recent low level
and within half of par. The stock closed
onlv a fraction above the lowest. Metro
politan Street Railway was also acutely af
fected and lost 4& on the day Tennessee
Coal and Colorado Fuel rose In the early
dealings but fell 2 points below Saturday's
level before the close. Sugar was only
slightly affected American Steel and Wire ,
Republic Steel , both common and preferred ;
Tinplate preferred. Continental lobacco ,
Pullman. National Steel. Manhattan and
People's Gas were especially weak Tae
not losses on most of the active railroad
stocks range between 1 and 2 points The
quotations for odd lots ranged above a full
lot quotation In most cases , Indicating the
pressure of bargain hunters during the de
cline
The market to-tallv ignored the tendency
to recovery on foreign stock markets , al
though London bought some 20.000 shares
in the early dealings. Call loans were
made at 6" per cent soon after the openIng -
Ing , but quickly rose to 6 and then 7 and
even 8 per cent , dropping to 6 per cent
after the day's needs had been practically
all met. Possible measures of relief for
the money market were , the subject of dis
cussion In all circles. The leaving on de
posit pajments for taxes Is considered the
most available relief and the presence In
Washington of an Influential financial
leader was generally believed to-be with
the object of urging such a. measure The
present high price of government bonds ,
which must be deposited with the treasury
by the hanks as security for government
funds left on deposit wttn them , Is a pos
sible drawback to this plan , though It Is as
serted that the banks will be able to bor
row government bonds to use for this pur
pose.
The sterling exchange rate failed to yield

buying for London account , but exchange

here disregarded the Dreyfus verdict and
the Tranavaal situation was considered
much better. Mines led general recovery ,
Paris also buying on the absence of riots.

about steady prices A UtUe later on Chicago
cage came Cc lower , and as buyers iwemed
to feel that the market on Tuesday wxmld
be lowe- , and as there were not enough here
to both r with , they became Indifferent and
did not try very hard to get what were left
They would perhaps take the hogs at price :
oc lower than the early markst , but they
did not appear to care for them , and at a
late hour there were still some hogs unsold.
Representative sale * :
SHEEP About a dozen cars of sheep and
lambs were reported In the yards this morn
ing , all of them on sale but three cars ,
which were consigned direct to packers.
The demand for muttons was good , and the
market opened fairly early and active at
prices that were strong to &gilOo higher.
Most everything changed hands in a very
short time , and ap a rule at prices that
were entirely satisfactory to the sellers.
Stock shepp and feeders are In good de
mand all the tlm , and the market on that
kind of stuff Is flrm right along.
