New York, Sept. 5. The operations of professional traders, to which buslneEH on the Stock Exchange Is now almost wholly confined, do not make more than a super ficial Impression on the market. The ob ject of the traders Is achieved if prices are moved, whether In one direction or another. "When the professionals perceive that in selling- stocks they are getting into sparse company, they turn with the utmost cheer fulness to the buying side, as they did yes terday and for a time tills morning, and. when the buying demand shows diminishing power and there seems danger of becom ing loaded up with long stocks, they begin to eell with equal alacrity, as they did this afternoon. The news from day to day may continue much the same without affecting tbfe periodicity of the narrow fluctuations It In such a market. i- 'General Condition Good. As a background to the market lie the etrong general conditions of business, the prospect that the Interruption to the pros perous conduct of the steel Industry will not be mnch longer continued, and the determi nation with which controlling Interests !n the -great properties cling to their holding. It Is the obvious policy of large capital at this time lo encourage active speculation, pending tho clearing of the autumn money requirements, and at the same time offer IF effective support for prices of securities IS. when threatened. Writ Calls for Cash. The principal development to-day was the renewal of the Interior demand for currency. There was deposited COO.OStt at the Sub treasury for transfer to Chicago and $30,000 for transfer to New Orleans. Yesterday's Bubtreasury operations yielded a small bal ance to the banks on account of payments for gold deposited at tho Pacific Coast points, and there "were further payments for' the same account to-day, but it Is obvious that the.-current Government surplus will render nugatory theso relieving Influences. The Subtreasury had. In fact, taken $22a. 000 from the market up to last night, al though the movement of currency to the interior was suspended up to that time. Tiie offerings of United States bonds for redemption under the terms of the Secre tary or the Treasury have slightly Increased in the last few days, but they are Insignifi cant -as an offset to the drain on account of the 'Government revenues. ""Vail street i. dismaxlntr relief by some new action of i . the Treasury Department, as Is Invariably I . the case In periods or money oimcuiiy, nut there .was nothing announced to give color to- the -expectation. Money worked firmer in sdl departments to-day. Sterling ex change tell an additional fraction, and re ports were lo circulation of a J50O.C0O cn Jraiement for Import. Discounts hardened In London, but the release of funds following tcMlay's payment of an Installment on -con-sol subscriptions may relieve that market. The weekly statements of both the Bank of England and the Bank of Franca show losses In gold reserves. - Stocks Showed StrensTth. To-day'sT early show of strength was con fined to the coalers. Vanderbllts. grangers and PadBcs, among the railroads, and SU- gir and a few minor specialties among the dustrlals. Brooklyn Transit was weak throughout on the poor showing of July net earnings. The market closed weak at declines running up to : points. Railroad bonds were Irregular in tone and dull. To ut sales, par value, tM55,0C0. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

"& man of his first selection has 3eccme m- tapaeltateu to ioo. ai " ,rr "jil his client oris found tc. be ?M,eB "I honest. The Commissioner steles that the President, tn his proclamation, did ntjn tenelto prevent any applicant or "djwho was successful in the drawing: froni -im a homestead, and that If httormar who filed for the claimant has oecw? T capiicltated to perform the service jjwen he contracteel to perform, the applicant can revoke the first appointment and select an other person to chocse his land ror nim. The case h.is been referred to the ueere tary of the Intprlor for final action. Tna question raised Is an important one, a It appcaA from the records that. In a ntwj ber or Instances where attorneys ffleai declaratcrv statements for soldiers, ana where the soldier was successful In drawtna a number entitling him to a selection, tnsj attorney has been unable to be presentat the time when his client was called upon lo select his fand. , In several instances of this Inna th40l rtler applicants have revoked tbe power or attorney 'flrrt given and appointed a, ntir representative. The local officers bald that this was Illegal nnd that the selection must be made by the same man wbo fllea the papers for the soldier. This decision would have caused a number 1 of STieeeasrul applicants lo have forfeited their right-to. an entry, but. under the decision handja down -to-tlay. they will be allowed to'mato their selections by the appointment Of"a otlier representative.
