MOVIJMU.NTS OP STOCKS AXIJ BONDS. lleoiinerntlon of the ! \Ioiiey Market MIUWM In HII Iiui > r < < < ! Tone. NEW YORK , Sept. 13 The recupera tion of the money market by means of the- severe liquidation of the last two days was reflected In a much Improved tone In the stock maiket. Prices were a little In clined to advance in the early dealings In splto of the buoyant tone of Americans In the London market and the \lgorous stiength shown by n few specialties , Early loans on call were mndo at 7 to 7Vi per cent and a decline In prices set In soon after the opening , which curried the level gener ally below that of last night. The rate for call loans then fell to 6 pqr cent and after stiffening again spasmodically eased oft In the latter part ot the day to 2 per cent About midday there cnmo the announce ment that the Treasury department had decided to anticipate by about ten days the- October pnjments of Intetest on gov > eminent bonds , which will amount In the aggregate to over $5,000,000 The shoits took alarm at the steady advance which set In nnd rushed to cover , bidding up prices In the closing dealings by wide ad\ancen to the top level of the clay. The closing was \ery nctUe and luiojunt and shows not gains ranging from 1 to 0 points To day WUH the fortnightly settlement on the London Stock exchage , where quite a large short Interest is said to have existed In Americans The decline hero was theretore \er > opportune and London bought to tne extent of about 25,000 shares Tennessee Co tl was strong from the out set und after moving In un erratic way closed the day with an advance of tVt po'.nts American Tobacco also de\ eloped uariy strength nnd left off over 3 points higher. Brooklyn Transit was down nearly to > eaterda > 's low point and then up again and shows a fractional net gain The new United States Milling stocks moved up all day und show net gains of o\er 3 points each und Colorado Fuel as much , There were active upward mo\emeni In the I leather stocks. The demand for the rnll- I roads generally gained In volume as the I day uihanced and the upward movement was qulto uniform In thb principal active i issues , which have net gains of between 1 and 2 points In many instances. Gains I above Hie average were made by Lack i- wanna Illinois Central , Cleveland , Cincin nati , Chicago & St. Louis , Pltteburg , Cln- I clnnatl Chicago & St , Louis and Great Western "B , " which ranged from 2 to 5 , Uio luttr Lnckawanna. The movement of money on balance con tinued In favor of the Interior today , but a debit balance at the clearing house by the ttubtreuuury relieved the pressure some what , So far as Is known there was no fresh supply of money In the market , I though the shnrp hrrAk In the cull tonti rati > BtiRReatrd that * omo hidden reserve might hn\e been brought forward. The extent to which the loan contraction hnd proceeded can only be estimated vaguely , but weaker speculative accounts hnvo evi dently been shaken out to a largo extent , leaving the general tone In much healthier condition. Sterling exchange fell nn addi tional fraction for actual rates and posted rates were reduced % c , but the fact that discounts In London were easier indicated that no gold movement Is In prospect from that quarter. Bonds were Inclined to recover In sym pathy with stocks , the speculative Issues leading. Total sales , par value , $2,475,000 United States bonds were unchanged In bid I quotations. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram say : The markets here were cheerful todnv on Mr. Chamber lain's dispatch to the Tmnsvaal , which Is regarded as bringing the Boers' surrender i near.

Almost all of the cattle- were from the w IB tern ranges , and the moat of them were feeders and stock cattle , largely on the common order. Beef cattle , both cornfeds and grussers , were In very moderate supply , wnlle the demand waa of very liberal proportions. As a result the ma.rkt on that kind waa fully t.teady , and some wore oven reporting1 It oa strong. The offorlngs were practically all taken early In the morning. Oows and heifers were In liberal supply , but at the same time there was no oversupply - supply of really desirable kinds. The mar ket was reaaonaL y active and steady on the good kinoa , but a little easier on common - mon stuff. Aa noted abo\ , the most of the cattle here were western feeders and stocliers and consequently the interest of the day's busl- ncbs centered very largely In the trade on that kind. Good heavy feeding cattle seemed to be scarce and bu > ers were all inquiring for that kind , so that the few cattle tnat would answer to that descrip tion were ready sailers at Etoady prices. On the other hand the common llgnt cattle , In fact the comnibn cattle of all kinds , were very slow sttle , and sellers In many cafces tound It oXtrwneJy dllllcult to got a buyer even to look , at uch cattle. Common kinds were all of lOc lower , but In many oases it was jiot 30 much a question , of pr.ce as of rinding a buyer at any price. The facts are that , there has been too much trash coming into the yards , and they tilled up with cattle for which the country de mand IB very llgftt. 1-aimejs who have a place to put Itjfht pattlo might llnd the present a good time to buy , as the cattle are to bo had at way lower prices than was the oas > e a week or two ag'o.
