Sales tin KxclintiKe Sin llenvler Thnn Those of Sntttrdrty. NEW Y'ORIC. Sent. 9.-The number of shares of stocks sold on the Stock exchnngo during the Ave hours of today's sesi hi was no greater than was solil tiuring me two hours of Saturday's session. ThU fact In Itself would bn Indlcntlvc of n mnrkc.l subsidence of the nervousness nnd fevtr lshness which pervaded the stock marKct on Saturday, but the tabic of recoveries in prices which resulted from the day's trad ing makes n renlly rcmnrKnoie snowing ui tho reeutinrntlv.i unwi.r nf tli. market. '1 no assurance of tho president's physicians and incnus mui nc is roaiiy ssie inun u n wounds wns nf eniirse the primary call O of the buoyant rebound in prlc s. 'IhJ crrect was shown not only in ew j or, but In nil the great securities markets of the world. The secondary cause was the comprehensive and effective measures cjn- ceriod ror tno proiecuon nnu supiiuri ri tho markot by the clearing house bnnkj and great Ananclcrs of tho metropolis. The effect of these mensurcs wa- not seen In the success with which the ctll money rate was repressed to 6 per tent level. Just what tho measures taken were not disclosed, but the largo sums of money in tho hands of the prluclpul money broker on the Aoor of tho Stock exchnngo to plate call loans nt 6 per cent suggested that money was being furnished by n powirtul syndicate for the purpose. The clc.trltu house committee wns conveniently nt hand nil dny to take any nctlou that might be demanded by an emergency, but there was no formal session of tho committee una no steps wero taken by them until after the session of the stock market, when a dis patch was sent to Secretnry Gage advising him of tho committee's view that some ac tion by the Treasury department was In cumbent for the relief of the money situa tion. The speclnl circumstances which make the operations of the Trcnsury de partment embarrassing to the money mar ket have lxen too often stated to me J special description hero. The enlarged surplus In the government revenues by reason of the grcnt decr?nse In the expenditures without corresponding decrenso In the Income Is taking dnlly from the open market nnd rrom the circuintion Inrge sums of money, Just at tho time when tho movement of the crops of tho expand ing fall requirements arc making the venr s largest demnnds for money. Some expec n Hon of action by tho secretnry of the treas ury for the relief of tho money markot played Its part In the day's strength of the market before the action of the committee was known. Tho tension of tho demand for money her, was shown also by the dec Ino In exchange on other points. llntn sterling nnu contincntni exennnte fell shnrnly. causing renewed tnlk of en gagements of gold for Import, but none were announced, cutcago. exenange on Now Yolk also rose to within 10c of rnr. but J25O.0UO was deposited at tho suhtrensury for Chicago and jk.ooo ror New Orleans. In view of these considerations, the o' lapse In tho money rate lato in the tiny l less convincing thnn It would othciwise be. Its occurrence nfter the demand for tho day had been largely siitlsllcd tnlgnt hnve been due to manipulation. The marKct closed strong at near tho top, net gains for the principal active stocks running from 2 to 4 points nnd for St. Paul 6i points Thus a large part of Saturday's losses were retrieved. Railroad bonds showed recoveries also, but In much smaller tlegreo than In stocks. Total bales, par value. J2,eti),000. United States bonds wero unchanged on tho last call.

Thero Is a still greater decrease as compared with thn same week of last year. Tho bulk of re ceipts today was mado up of western range cattle, for which tha demand was In good shape, Packers took hold nnd It was not long before the bulk of tho desirable grades wero out of Arst hands. There wero only a few loads of corn-fed cattlo In tho ynrtls today and sellers neg lected them for the grnss cattlo. As a re sult sellers who had corn-fed steers found tho market a llttlo slow and some of them were quoting prices a. llttlo lower than at the closo of last week. Tho demand for cow stuff was active today and tilthojgh tho supply was quite liberal tho markot was steady to strong and nctlve throughout. Packers seemed to want all thero was on solo so that sellcrn had llttlo trojblc In disposing of what they had nt ver satisfactory prices. Stcodv to strong prices wero also paid for hulls., calves and staxs where the quality was satisfactory. There was more nciivuy 10 me trnao on stockers nnd feeders today than for some time past, It was evident that tho recent rains have Increased the demand from tho country nnd ns a result yard traders took hold In good shape and bought tho better grades of stockers, as well as the fleshy feeders that looked strong to n dime higher than thosn In force at the closo of last week. The commoner stuff was, of courso, more or less neglected and probably sold no moro than steady. Western beef steers and cows were In active demand today and sold nt good, strong prices whero tho quality was at all desirable. What was said above for na tive feeders applies equally wcl to the western cattle. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. Av.Pr.
