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 In spite of the tightness of money and buying for London account , but exchange on Paris did fall a fraction Bonds weakened In sympathy with stocks , but the selling- pressure was not severe Total Bales , par value , $2299,000 United States bonds were unchanged In bid quota- The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : The market 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. Americans were quiet throughout. They opened good , but reacted on Now York sales , closing heavy. New York bought Mexican Centrals , particularly the first In comes. It Is supposed that these are Mor gan purchases Spanish 4s , 60 , tlntos , 46V4 ; Anacondas , 11 6-16 The bank bought 43 OuO gold in bars. Money was more plentiful. American and continental bills were of fered , bu ; no London paper. The following are the closing quotations for the leading stocks on the New York exchange today : I'MiiHiiolnl.

The early trade waa without feature of Importance , the light and light mixed loads and the best heavy selling at just 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.
