New York Stock Market New york, lleceinbrr 8.?The cotirsn of to-day's stock market gave little lllnt untll the ClOSe Of the more hope ful feelliiR which la sald lo eXl8l In flnanclal clrcles. Tradlng durlng the greater part of the session was dull and dlstlnctly Irregular, The profes Btonal rllqne was rather moro in olined tn buy thnn sell, hut In the early hnun; ndvances were inol with sales. London had senl over n higher range of prices and Un- local openlng was fnirly firm. Reoesslons soon wlpeii out these galns after which buslness fell off to Inslgnlflcani pronprtlons. By mldday another rally wns on, hut thc lack of interest then shown was used as an excuse to rald the general list. United States Steel fell to 70, the lowest prlce ?f thc present move? ment. hut wns sn well BUppbrted tit that level that It rrbounded nlmost lmmedlnlely and restllted in an all round Covering movement. which w.as maintalned to the close, when hest prices of the day, wlth some very materlal net gains. wore reglstered. News of the day wns wlthout very Important bearing upon seourltles values, although the fallure of the Bank of England to reduce Its dis I'ount rate wns received with somo dlsappointment. Yesterday s depresslon on the Paris Bourso, which seems to liave been largely inlluenced by the course of events here, was another factnr that made for discouragement. To those ndvorse condltions must be ??dded the monthlv statement of the r,.pppr Producers' Assoclatlon. which reported a decrease In stocks on hand. due prlnclpally to a further cur tallmcnt of output ns there wns a large falling off ln domesttc consump? tion. Additional shlpments of currencj to interior polnts wero ma'de by tha local institutions, nnd the cash loss ifor the week ls very largo. In the bond market. which was gen ? firallv flrm, the features were ?en board Air Llne adjustments, on which it had been decided to pay tho full seml-annual Interest, and lssuos of the N*ew York Central and Pennsyl vanla systems.
