PRICES FELL OFF TOE ENTJOE SESSION Stock Market Was Under Heavy Liquidation and Weak WAS HIGHLY MANIPULATED The Net Losses Ran Between Vfa and Over 2 Points In Quite an Ex tended List of Import ant Stocks. New York, September 23.—Amalgamated Copper fell 8ft below the Anal prices of Saturday late In the day today, and after a 2-point rally on covering by room shorts was running off rapidly again be fore the cloBe, the last price showing a net loss of 7ft following 6ft loss of Satur day. Anaconda, the only one of the con trolled companies dealt in on the ex change, fell an extreme 6ft and lost 5ft net. This comprised most of the market for the day. There was some early re sistance In a few railroad stocks, but It was abandoned In face of the persis tent and heavy liquidation in Amalga mated Copper and the whole market turned weak. The net losses run between lft and over 2 points in quite an extend ed list of important stocks. Such a vio lent decline as that of Amalgamated Cop per is bound to affect the stock market by sympathy, whatever the conditions elsewhere. The Amalgamated Copper movement gained in influence by reason of collateral inferences drawn from it by speculators. Although a highly manipu lative specialty the stock has been more favorably regarded than some other in dustrials by reason of the influential character of the control of the company. The reduction In the dividend and the collapse In the price have led to flying rumors of short coming in management and financiers of the same character re cently disclosed by several «*£ the minor industrial companies. The effect was to engender distrust of all the industrials and their blind pool methods. Also the reduction of the Amalgamated filvidend following upon the conservative refusal by partly identical interests to advance the St. Paul dividend whs taken as a broad Indication of the indisposi tion of Standard Oil capitalists to stimu late a rise in prices. As the fact has been obvious that insiders were advancing the Morgan railroad properties and the Gould properties, Southern Railway, Erie and Manhattan continuing an ad vance even tills morning speculators were Inclined to draw-.an inference of renewed discord among the great financial pow ers whose quarrels precipitated the Northern Pacific corner. In addition the government fiscal operations are not ex pected to yield such resources to the money market as was the case last week, while the heavy movement of cur rency to the interior continues. Anoth er day of reverses to the British armies In Sodth Africa seemed to bring home to the London market that they must face another government loan at an early period to meet the protracted wrar expen ditures there. This brings another ele ment of doubt into the problem of the amount of gold which foreigners will part with for the coming import movement to New York. The advance In the dis count rate today by the Imperial Bank of Germany was another element. The foreign exchange rate hardened today, caused by talk of further immediate en gagements of gold. The market closed weak. Railroad bonds were strong but became irregular as stocks turned weak. Total sales, par value, $2,575,000. United States new 4s advanced ft per cent on the last call.

New York, September 23.—Cotton fu tures opened steady with prices three to six points lower In sympathy with weak Liverpool cables. Immediately after the call a bullish feeling developed In the lo cal pit and outside buying orders made their appearance. Prices responded to this support readily and by 10:80 were back to the dosing bids of Saturday with the tone firm. The crop movement was phenomenally light at nearly all points In the South, another cold wave was seen to have made Its appearance In the Northwest, trade reports were satis factory, spot markets South were holding their own, export takings and clearances were Increasing rapidly, the New York stock again lost two thousand hales, crop reports were decidedly bullish and esti mates for this season's yield suffered from further pruning.

New Orleans September 23.—The market for spqt cotton was about on a stand, as to prli es today, though there was a slight leaning toward a lower range of values In some quarters as a sympathetic result of the further break, both in spots and contracts at Liverpool. The close ob servance of Yom Kipper or the day of atonement by the Jewish element, how ever, had a very quieting effect upon the local movement, materially reducing the volume of offerings and buyers, however much Inclined to tiade, found but meagor supplies available. Buyers were disposed to claim concessions, but on the other hand, factors were still holding out for board figures, and with the two elements apart, there was small room for anything approaching a fair line cf transactions. Sales, 2900, Including 1960 to arrive. Quo tations unchanged. , The market for contracts held within somewhat narrow hounds during the day, trading being confined to the October, November and January positions and not very extensive at that.
