The market became

hardened to the best prices. Missouri Pacific recovered to about last night's level. Amalgamated Copper continued its advance, carrying Anaconda to Its wake. The paucity of the demand encouraged the bear professionals to attack the market and they forced the granger and Pacific stocks to the lowest. Some resistance was made by Anaconda and the United States Steel stocks, but Amalgamated yielded H4. The market was supported again and rallied strongly. Amal-

an attempt Is made to show that there to no cause for alarm or concern to the monetary situation, well-informed interests. and particularly representative* of large international banking houses, are understood to regard the situation a* far from favorable and as a potent factor with respect to the future of the stock

market.

Among the more striking of the various unfavorable features of the monetary situation to which attention is called is the fact that the offer of Secretary Gage to buy bonds will remain open for some time. It Is claimed that If bonds had been offered as freely as It was said at first would be the case it would not be necessary to extend the ttme. The decrease in the volume of loans is also pointed out as signifleent and as showing the failure of large Interest* to engage the public In the market. And what 1s regarded as more signifleent to the report that in the face of the decrease In the volume of loans there has been quite a general calling of existing loans. Another point In this connection that Is made is tne continued effort to secure gold from Europe and the failure to induce foreign Interests to ship the preclour metal to this country only to a smuil

way.

Finally it to pointed out that In spite of all the measures that have been tried to relieve the money market by putting more money in circulation since last Friday thh ( banks have gained only *2,800.000 Ir cash. The rumors that J. P. Morgan is desirous of supporting and advancing the market and that the Standard Oil interests are desirous of depressing the market stem to be gaining additional believers daily.

The Iron Trade Review. CLEVELAND, O., September M.-The Iron Trade Review, dtocuasing market conditions this week, says; The transactions of the week indicate sustained and widespread activity in Iron and steel, with advances In price* of some materials, and a firmer market in the case of others. Considerable purchases have been made In the past week from Valley furnaces, and It to estimated that 30,000 to 40,000 tons were taken by the leading Interests, not to mention upward of 10,000 tons ef basic iron. These purchases. In addition to some made by other steel companies, probably bring the total of the week's transactions Jn steel-making pig Iron to the valleys and Pittsburg to 00,000 tons. The price paid for bessemer iron was *15.25 at valley furnaces, about 25 cents higher than quotations made In the recent period of quietness to bessemer Iron. The maintenance of the *15.25 basts is significant of the disposition of large interests to have the present level of prices preserved. There are evidences th*t consumption to keeping up to the remarkable level that, earlier In the year, seemed to be the culmination of the activity starting to the late summer of 1900. Allowing for the appearance of extraordinary activity that has followed the ending of the steel strike, in the efforts of many buyers to get their orders earlier, there to sufficient data to warrant confidence in a strong market well into next year. Thus far only guesses have been made as to the tonnage of standard section rails booked for next year. Under the lead of important lines, contracting has been going on steadily, and the conditions of the mills may be Inferred from the statement that In the Chicago district the rail capacity to taken up to the middle of next year. Bouvier’s Stock Letter. (By Meyer A Ktoer'a Wire.] NEW YORK, September 26,-It was evident that the weakness of Americans In London was on selling orders from this side, immediately after the opening foreigners were buyers of stocks that traders rushed In to sell, being Influenced by weakness of London market. There was some covering of shorts, but when the support of London's buying orders was over, the market assumed Its natural cov.rse, anil consequently there was a downward tendency. The Copper stocks again developed weakness on cables from London reporting a further demoralisation of copper market there. The short Interest In various stocks to still large, but there was also considerable covering thto morning- The railroad stocks were sold by western houses, who are more familiar with the rste situation, which to not in a very satisfactory condition. The pressure to sell Missouri Pacific continues whenever the stock shows any signs of a rally, and the selling of stock to pretty well distributed. Uneasiness felt over the anthracite coal trade situation caused weakness in the coal stocks. The talk of gold imports to relieve our money situation seems to be premature.
