NCW 1 OR K STOCKS AID BO.I)S. Evldenve la tailed States Ship Bulld-laa- Case Had Had Effect. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. There was practic ally 110 reurf to ttie weakness of today s stock market from start to linlsn. There was an occasional pause In the downwurd course of prices, wnlcli was simply due to a lull In tne selling movement, bui ttie re bound on sliort coverings w.ta in every casi feeble and Inefiectlve. The lust prices were practically the lowest of the day uud the closing was weak. Net declines of one ane two points and up were quite general tnroughout the list. '1 here was nothing tu show that the liquidation was due to con traction of credits, such as forced the heavy selling In the recent past, uUnougn there are time loans, maturing from time to lime which are called for payment, and today s liquidations seemed tu be prompted more by sentiment of disgust and discouragement with the whole situation. The extended reports this morning of the testimony enclted yesterday in the hearing of the legal proceedings in the United States Shipbuilding company created a pro found Impression throughout the financial world. Tne details there set forth of (he process of corporation promotion, under writing, and stock quotation gave rise to disturbing analogies with a large mass of Industrial securities which have come Into the market In the last few years and are now lying there In a practically water logged position. The assumptions growing out of yesterday's disclosures were of so grave a character, and applied to such Im portant quarters as to unsettle the mind of the linaiicial public over the most con servative convictions. The gravity of the occasion received Its recognition in the due course of the public statement issued later In the day, formally disclaiming tho im plications of the incident by J. P. Morgan & Co. Following the widespread disturb ance of sentiment In the market caused lV- the reduction of the dividend on United Statos Steel, the stocks had a bad day of It. United States Steel common sold down to Its previously low record of 11", and the preferred stock was even more Severely handled with a decline of T,' points. Yes terday s argument that the reduction of the dividend on the common Increased the securjty for the dividend on the preferred lost Its force In face of computations that the decrease In net earnings was at a rate greater than the reduction In the division dtsbursment. Amalgamated Copper was the fellow sufferer most acutely affected. The stock fell to a new low record of :ft- In the Inte dealings after some show of sup port had been accorded above 30e. It was agreed that the reaction in the Iron and steel market must extend to copper, while the relative price of Amalgamated nnd United States steel on almllar division level was again used to disadvantage of the former Btock. Brokers whose opera tions yesterday on the buying side In vari ous stocks were attributed to inside sup porting orders turned sellers today with corresponding effect on the general senti ment. The weakness was by no means con fined to the Industrials and the railroads suffered quite generally In the general de pression which weighed the market. Specific news was entirely lacking to ac count for the selling pressure all through the market. The bond market behaved better than stocks, and showed some evidence of In vestment absorption. Total sales par value, $3,652,000. United States 2s declined V4 per cent on the lust call. Following are the closing quotations on the New York Stock exchange: Atchison do pfd Bal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 The cotton market opened firm at a decline of 2 points on No vember, but generally unchanged to 4 points higher on firmer cables, less favorable weather and early estimates pointing to ward smaller receipts. For a time It ruled fairly steady under further covering and bull support, encouraged by the unfavora ble crop advices, but after reaching to a level 2 to 5 points higher, and a sagging tendency developed which continued more or less in evidence during the remainder of the session. Trading during the entire day was quiet and there seemed to be little de mand from any source, notwithstanding the bullish tendency such as frost tonight over the western belt that was a factor In the early advance. But with little demand the realizing of the room after the anvances of yesterday In connection with some Utile pressure from l.tarlsh sources was suffi cient to send prices off and at one time the general list was net 4 to 9 points lower. Just before the close there was a little rally on the steady tone reported In the soul hern spot markets and the market was finally steady net unchanged to 6 points lower. Sales were estimated at 250.000 bales The steadier tone at Liverpool was ascribed to further demand from the continent, while It was also stated that the English mills would shortly resume operations on full time. The factors operating against the market were the unsettled Wall street con ditions and the facta that the receipts ran over the estimates. NEW ORLEANS.

It was very noticeable that there was not the snap to the market that character ized the trade yesterday, but still tne change in the prices was not marked. There was a liberal sprinkling of corn fed steers Included in tne receipts and packerj were Inclined to be a trifle bearish 011 them. The market could probably best be de scribed by calling It steady to a shade eas ier, especially on the less desirable grades. There were several loads that showed con siderable quality, as will be seen Horn the sales below. Cow buyers were also a little bearish this morning, but salesmen were all holding for steady prices, and as a result there win very little change from yesterday In the prices paid. As compared with a week ago today, which was the low point, the gen eral market Is safely a quarter higher on all grades. There were a good many cows Included in the receipts and owing to tha late arrival of trains the day was well ad vanced before a clearance was made. Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show enough change to be worthy of mention. There was a brisk demand for Blockers and feeders this morning where the quality was satisfactory and prices could safely be quoted steady. The common cattle, how ever, dragged to some extent and In some cases seemed to be a trifle lower. The de mand from the oountry yesterday was ugaln very liberal. There was nothing particularly new In the market for western grass beef steers. Anything at all good met with ready sf)le at steadv prices, while the common kinds were rather slow nut aoout steaoy. rtango cows sold steady to a shade lower and the tiest grades of feeders were active and steady, witn otners siow. representative sales: BEEF STEERS.

Packers did not appear to be at all anxious for the hogs even at this sharp decline so the day was well advanced before a clearance was made. The bulk of the heavy hogs sold from $5.16 to $5.20 and some sold down to $5 05. Good medium weights sold from $5.20 to $5.25, and choice lights sold up to $5.40. The decline In prices this week has been the most radical break that has taken place In a long time. As compared with a week ago today the general market is right around aOc lower.

The aame as has been the case of late, the bulk of the arrivals wero feeders, but still there were quite a few killers. Packers took hold of the better grades and paid just about steady prices. The commoner kinds, of course, were some what neglected If not suitable for feeders, but as comnared with yesterday's Bales, there was not much change In the prices pain. Feeder buyers were on hand In liberal numbers this morning and everything at all good sold at steady prices. The demand all thia week has been fu'ly equal to (he supply and each day's offerings have been well cleaned up. The last end of the sheep market was hardly as good as the first "part buyers did not take hold with their usual amount of energy and the close was rather slow and a little weak on all grades.
