SPILLING
OF STOCK
Liquidation of small Quarters
from ah Accounts.
PRICES ARE DOWNWARD
All News of" a Favorable Tenor ignored
and Demand Paralyzed ? Bonds
Weak in Sympathy with Stocks.
Close Irregular.
(Ry AiHoclnted Pre*??*.)
NOW ????, Sepfmber 2S.? Another
fl.'iy'H liquidation In the stock market kept
npprcliennioll alive nnd was an much
?without specific ej-plunnlion ns that
?which has gone beloie. The liquidation
vas ihoBtly In ?mull amounts anil came
from rtll qUarlbrfe, There was a con
Bidernblc accumulation, of the.-ic ???'??
oi dors over Sunday, und there seeincd
to be a Kood deal of sellili,?? out by com?
mission hollies whore notifications to
customers lor- ndiht.onal margins had
beon Ignored over Sunday. Ail the for?
eign centers which hold ?my upprec.ahi?*)
quantity of American ficcurltlcM also lig
i.i,?? .,, tha tci..,,,. ..?. ,,?? ,???.?"? a lavbr
able tenor was Ignoriti nnd the demand
?was practically paralyzed. Exe? pi for
occasional liuvuig liy uiienveie?! ?dioits at
periods of pause Hi the llquldhtlon, there
was no demand distinguishable. The b.iy
cr who form.i tlio compl?ment for eveiy
(seller seemed to wait for stocks to bo
offered to hiin and mado no bid.
There was a consliui aille amount of tills
Bort of buying, wbrrli was traced with
confidence to Kotnc of tho largest hank?
ing Interests, wlio satisfied thCiri.-clv? ?
with tins measure.of support 101 the
market. It was quite Ineffective in pre?
venting the sharp downward course of
prices, although It may have prevented a
demoralization which was feared. All lb?
United Stntcs Steel securities lowered
their low records by wide margins. Thb
local tractions we; e another center of
weakness led by .Metropolitan Str?L-t
Railway, which lell to w.thln a ?-bade
of par. Selling In th,?- stock wan inld
to come liom Philadelphia; which was
also an onormbui? seller of Pennsylvania.
The pressure upon Pennsylvania carried
It down 4 1-1 at the last and was the
factor In unsettling the cloiae.
Previous to this last slump ln Penn?
sylvania there had been quite an eflec
tlve rally all around due to the rei ef
felt by the apparent cessation of the
urgent liquidation In United States Steel
Issues. The close iV?s active and Irregu?
lar.
Ronds wero weak In. sympathy with
Btocks. Total sales, ??,???,???, par value.
United States 2's declined 1-4, and the
8? 1-2 on last call.
Total sales of stocks to-day were 0S5,
100.

NEW YORK. Kept. 2?*.?The opening of Hie
Stock market ?a? ?cal:, although the liquidation
was confined to ? few croupit, und there wa?
good nupi-orl in place?. Comnuaslon houses re?
ported mi accumulation of selling orderit ov?)
nlylit and trader? ?ere very bearish; particularly
ou the United ?talea Steel Btocks.

Wtttitu sellini* orders, nnd the unie of ?fonie
? stocks ll'juliluteil iu I/imlon before our opening.
The po??lblII(y that suine members of tile bond
underwriting syndicate would pull out was ? tut?
tor, ond ther? was bearish talk of a rather vague
character on trade condition?. .
Th* weakness in LoUlirllle arid Nashville was
aald to he due to selling of the stock by an
Interest which was Instrumenta" ln transferring
It from the Heliniint to the present control ond
held on to Its slock too long.
KARLY TRADING:
Tile early break In the tractions was ac?pm
paiiled by reports Ihal the Interests which have
harp been carrying Metropoli tu n Securities anil
lirooklyn Rapid Transit were obliged to lighten
thfclr load In view of. ilio maturing of some eon
?Iderotile loua? In the nenr future. The de?
struction of the Fifty-second Street power-botiso
bad nn unfavorable inlliiencc upon lirooklyn
Rnpld Transit.
It- was thought that Amalgamated Copper wa?
receiving smile support from the Standnrd Oil
Interest, hut only ?ulTIcient tu hold the price
ln band until the extent of the liquidation was
ktkiivn. ... . ,
Tbe Erie statement materially helped the hard
coal stocks In the enrly trading.
LiqrmiATioN in first ii?uit?
Tile liquidation w-(is serious In the first hour,
nlthiiugli the market dbl n?i cet out of hand.
It was receiving support in pinces, lint mostly
on a seule down,, an,) It was recognized that nt
least one account of some consequoiioo was Be?
ing liquidateli, and possibly more floor trader?
gate ? little ?upport by covering shorts on
breaka.
HEAVY SELLINO IN ?t???? BONUS:
The henvy selling nf fnltr-it .States Steel, fis
was traceable without much difficulty to mem?
bers of the bond underwriting syndicate, liiere
waa ? certain umoiitit of support |n the preferred,
which probably represent arbitrage ofionitlons,
but It was offset hy the persistent Western liqui?
dation. , ,
London wo? a seller In th? early trading.
FIRMER AFTER MIP-DAY:
The lone was rather tinner jiftnr mid-day,
although weakness was apparent Jn stocks which
have hitherto received notably go-?? support,. It
looked tlii If one group nfter another was sold,
und about the only buying of consequence se(,m.

In Hint position Is ut an end atterrinoli on Wed?

Just notice day for Unit delivery. Some no?

representing the New ilrliiius bull cuiitlng-ut,
mill the New Orleans btiil leader, wus In the ria?

In Bsflember were the most vlolint of uny since

Clishig on Saturday ut 11.12 It opened this

11,23 and from tbiat to 12.05, a net gain of very
nearly of a cent a potimi or SSou on a trudlng
coulract of. 1W balea. This seemed to exhaust
the demand some and then the price reacted to
11.30. but milled ugnili to 11.Su und closed ut
11.70. The srarc.of Spptcmber ?h?r's naturally
exerted a strengthening elTect on the general
list, and while the receipts avere heavy the es

RICHMOND COLLEGE
Dr. Wighlmari Proves Very Popular.
Rats Are EntTliined.
The "session of 1003-1901 practically
opened at Richmond College yesterday
with an attendance larger than any ln
the history of the Institution.
Those iiitertit'eil In tho establishment of
the chair of biology will be gratified to
hoar that so far it has been a marked
success. Dr. Wlghtman delivered his Ilrst
lecture yesterday, and his class of thirty
or forty students were completely carried
away with his wit nnd originality.
In the wee small hours ot Monday
morning all of the "Rats" were enter?
tained by the old men. The * unique fea?
ture of this entertainment was that tho
amusements were furnished by the guests.
The first featuro on the programme was
a cake walk. Each smiling lad led his
"old lady" Into the circle Illuminated by
the immense bonfire, and when the band,
composed of crack "rat" whistlers, struck
up, the participants,. with their llowlng
robes of white, formed really a oicturo
no artist could paint. . f
The next feature was a whistling con?
test. Two of the guests were Invited to
put their noses together and whistle dif?
ferent tunes. It Is true that tho melody
resulting therefrom did not reach somo
of tho heights attained by Sousa or Patti,
but still their efforts wero appreciated
and enjoyed immensely.
Tho guests were finally taught tho col
ley?: yell' nrd were then'escorted to their
rooms with every mark of honor and re?
spect.
Foot-ball ?prospects are brightening
every day. The first game of tho season
ls Saturday at Broad Street Pnrk, with
Locust Dale. This Is a strong Aggregation
fiom all reports, and a close game may
be confidently expected.
TWO CASES WHICH
SHOULD BE RELIEVED
1,dislike to go In the papers for such
oasBs- but my conscience reyulres It.
Ibero is ?? ??? city a woman with fout
young children, one of them a baby, two
months' old. Her husband has left hor
penniless and run off with another wo?
man. She has been forced to let things
g? until she has rio stovo or tiny other
tinnitine of her own, but is using the
stove of the widow who lives down stairs.
A manager In ono of tho tobacco fac?
tories will give her an opportunity to
learn, but the ""wages will bo a mero
pittance fol- ii few weeks, and It will be
nt least two months before she can mako
bread for herself nnd four children.
Another urgent case is that of a woman
who is slowly dying with un Incurable dis?
ease, llor mother has followed her to
This hopr of misery find,suffering*, whllo
the rest of the family have all turned
against her on nccount of her sin. With
the limited menus at my disposal for
these cases^ which are only two of many
olhois that I know to be proper cases
for help, I am wholly unable lo relievo
their suffering. Many seem to think thoie
.Is no suffering among the poor in tho
summer, as If everything was supplied
When the thermometer changed.
If I arri 'phoned or written to I will
be glad to take parties to see those eases,
or will receive contributions for thoni.

same made famous by the .Four Cohans,
and the company which pros'ented tho
production last evening in In every way
superior to that company. Tho work
of Martin McGovern, the keeper of Vaca?
tion Irin, was filie, while Harry Hi Les?
ter, Dickie Dickinson, the fugitive hus?
band, disguised ils tlie German detective,
kept tho audience In a ? oar from the mo?
ment lie entered Until he left the stage.
The. company is one of stars, John
McVeigh, the. Governor's son, .and tho
"Governor" of Charles PiiSey, tho roles
of tlie male members of thu Four Cohans
combination; wero just exactly what tho
audience wanted, the characters fitting
admirably. Benjamin Curtis, the new
married man. very jealous of his pietty
wife, was as good as tlie best of them,
with Will Hnlladriy as Bill Swift, the
brother of the deserted bride, on the
lookout for tho fleeing benedict, adapted
to his role.
MJss Ituth Halben, as Mrs. Dickie
Dickson, wns easily tho star nf tlie fe?
male members of the company, with
Grace Hazard as Emerald Green, fully
up to every requirement of her role.
Miss, Louise Gomel, as the wife of Ben?
jamin Curtis, tlie Jeiiloiis husband, was
capable.
The chorus Is one of the best tlie Bijou
has presented to Its patrons: The mem?
bers of the chorus aro pretty, weil drill?
ed, and have splendid voices. Tlie cos?
tumes are now" and attractive. The show
came highly, endorsed dud "made gooel"
ln every way. The house was almost
continuously In a rgar of laughter at tlio
witty dialogues, complicated situations
ond humor of the much-mixed mauled
couples. Tho play Is new, up-to-date and
replete with catchy, tuneful muslo. A
matinee will be given to-day.
