LARGE SALE iff STEEL the Weakness of These Stocks a Disturbing Feature, N.ÄW, SCORED ONE POINT, Réduction In tho Prlco of Southern Pig Iron.Business Almost at a Stand¬ still l.ato in tho Day.Tho Price of Money. (By Aj(iv>clated Prose,) NEW YORK, Sept, 10..The Htûck mar¬ ket wan*' rather mon* active to-day, but the Increased activity wan In many in¬ stances mado at the expense of prices. Tho opening, though tame, wan slightly higher, Aten lean resuming to etti oxtont Ita recent leadership, but later yielding to the United fitatcm Ötoei siluros. Tlie extremo weakness) of the Steel etock», which were sold 111 largo volume, wah a disturbing feature. Htoríen concerning the next notion to bo taken on the dividend on Steel common, together with adverse trado reporta, were freely circulated, but neither confirmation "nor denial wa« ob¬ tainable from authoritative sources. An¬ other stock that showed-marked weak¬ ness In. the early son-Ion wan Brooklyn Transit, the result, it I« said, of u pool dissolution. Neirfolk nnd Western scored a one point advance nt the oponlni*..Trad¬ ing relapsed'Into extreme dullness In tho second hour, and the drift of prlcen wag again downward. The reduction In the price of Southern pig Iron probably in- fltipnced 1 1-2 per cent., declined In Ten¬ nessee Coal and Iron and was not with- out Affect on other stocks of·· that class. Colorado Kiiei advanced 2 points for no Apparent reason. Business came almost to a standstill |n the early afternoon, but there was some covering of short con¬ tracts and prices hardener« In some In¬ stances, only to lose their Improvement later. Forecasts <>f tho government crop report were conflicting and traders seem¬ ed disposed to hold off In the absence of definite news. For the rest of tho day business continued dull at··*· aside from the further large offerings and Increased ¦weakness of the United States Steel slocks, together with some liquidation of Atchlson. the late session was almost featureless and closing prices were son- ernlly «t the lowest. The local money situation excited little Interest In spite of a gain of ???,??? by the banks, making a total since last Fri¬ day of about fi.Etvt.OOO. Call money con¬ tinued available at from 'J to 2 1-2 per cent., bul there seemed little Justification for the statement that ninety day money could be ha'd In large amounts under 5 per cent, The bond mark-ct lacked featuro and moved Irregularly on a small range. To¬ tal sales, par value. J92O,000. United States bonds woro all unchanged on tho last cull. Total sales of stocks to-day woro 2O,- 800 shares.

If anything the tone «va» tinner on the Improvement In London, and perbar« »orne dis- (>o«ltloii to operate for a favorable crop report. CONTINUED TUR IMPROVEMENT: Atchlson continued the lniiirnrempnt of the previous day, tnntcrlnlly helped by the covering of some professional Fhorts and the scarcity of tbe stock shown In the loan creimi. BEARISH ON L\ 8. STEEL: Tlie professional element continue» »cry bear¬ ish on fnlteel States Kt«*el. and there le prob¬ ably a Inrge »hort IntereBt. especially In tbe fammi.

STEEL THE FEATURE-: L'nlted State» Steil iva» the feature of the first hour'» tradliii, and outside of thl* and the development of aorne weaknea» In Ilrooklyn Transit the market <v_* absolutely without In¬ terest. The professional attendance was light and the commission house business was extreme¬ ly small. (SOLI) S.eviei snAKES STEEL: Tlie selling of R.OftO Steel common In nil by flroesbeek nnd Co. era» snld to be for First National Bank Interest*. The «ouree. of courue, ?,-an purely a cilena on the part of the room trader*. There was also snld to be Borne quiet selling by a house nonytlmes trndlng for the Moren ?

NORFOLK'S WIDE PRICE: Tbe velile price In Norfolk nnd Wettern wns worth noting. Tbe first transaction waa made at a point advance on the cloalng quotation on yesterday. Thpre hnd undoubtedly been a good deal nf absorption of the tsoek for Investment, and npeclallita say that nothing In tho Penn· selva nia group In marc widely or conservatively held. THE EARLY AFTERNOON: There wan some tendency to rally the market, altbcugh there was hardly enough "way" on any Rtoek to keep It moving. Traders, however, were not disposed tn be found abort of the mar¬ ket over the government crop report, nnd this gave a firmer tone to the Grangers and coined »omo rally elsewhere, ?G?? CI.OSINO! Thn coiWnued liquidation in Steel hnd more Influence nn thn mnrket at the close than thn favorable rumore current on tho chiincps nf tlie government crop report.
