NEW YORK. Sept. 22. — There was no change to-day in the narrow and professional character of the sto<-k market. The dullness and lassitude were Knrwwhat arefntuated by the- occurrence of the Jewish New Year, v.hich cauF<-<i an ab.srnce of a part of the membership of the Kxchange. The price movement was an inversion of that of yesterday, the advance c.>min«: early and the reaction later with price I changes unimportant. Kor the first time in a , number of days Unit»<l States Steel did net ; touch a new low record anJ this was taten by the leaders to indicate that liquidation in that security was over. They marked uy the ¦ Trice aocordmffiy and the advance in the gen- ¦ eral mr.rket was litt!e more than a syinpa- ] t h*-tic response to thit" movement. Late in the J day urgent yelling j.rep?ure developed in the I 1'nlted States Jfttel secend- mortKage - bonds. | They were forced down to 73. which is "j low- , tr than their j-ievicus low record. This ; rromj.ud the traders to thr-.w over the stocks ; they had taken *ar!icr in the day and wiped : cut t!i^ day j edv&nce, with th3 result that j Email looses nre interspersed with- small net ; gains. Tbe buylns movement of the morning ¦ was largely concentrated, a single house being Credited with the purchase of no less than j Ao.itfiO rhares arcund the room. There was ¦ little in the news of the day to account for the j movement of r>ricep. The r-cllapse of the -ef- 1 fort:; to save the Consolidated Lake Supfrior ! Company from bankruptcy seemed to have i Deen discounted and may even have been a j factor in the recover}' of United States Steel, j The removal of the prcspe«,-t of the immediate ; demands ujjon capital to ketp this compaJiy j artoat seemed to afford a srim rort of relief in the »pirit of dread of corporation credit re quirements which Wall street has come to The same spirit was responsible for the «harp dr^p in New York Central on revival of rejwrts that the company vas negotiating a large loan i to provide for Its Immediate requirement in I connection with the terminal improvements in j this city. The news from the crops continued j favorable, the Weather Bureau's weekly re- j l<ort receiving a bearish interpretation both as to corn and cotton. The grangers were well supported in cor.nequer.ee throughout. A round • H.O<Kt.<X>o wrs deposited at the sub-Treasury I for telegraphic transfer to New Orleans, show- | ing the approach to the maximum flow of the j season of the cotton crop funds. The market clcsed easy, the late break in United States Steel second mortgage bends causing a weak- : nerr in the formerly irrosrular bond market. Total Fales, par value, J1.9S5.OOO. United States bonds were all unchanged or the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks — Shares. High. Low. Close.

Busi ness Is practically at a standstill, but there i* no serious accumulation of stock, as there Is not much coming in. The local trade say that the starting prices this season were too high and that a reaction was bound to cc cur sooner or later. The Eastern markets are reported in fair condition and this market would be likewise were it not for the strike. Hops ar» fairly active and firm. Oregons are selling below Callfornias. as they are show, ing damage from mold and vermin. Local dealers report that during the past two years the picking of California Hops has not been up to »he usual standard, owing to the high prices, and that the bales from some districts oftea contain stems and leaves, which are hurting th» reputation at our Hops as a su perior article.
