(By Aj(iv>clated Prose,)NEW YORK, Sept, 10..The Htûck mar¬

Tlieextremo weakness) of the Steel etock»,which were sold 111 largo volume, wah adisturbing feature. Htoríen concerning thenext notion to bo taken on the dividendon Steel common, together with adversetrado reporta, were freely circulated, butneither confirmation "nor denial wa« ob¬tainable from authoritative sources. An¬other stock that showed-marked weak¬ness In. the early son-Ion wan BrooklynTransit, the result, it I« said, of u pooldissolution. Neirfolk nnd Western scoreda one point advance nt the oponlni*..Trad¬ing relapsed'Into extreme dullness In thosecond hour, and the drift of prlcen wagagain downward. The reduction In theprice 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 noApparent reason. Business came almostto a standstill |n the early afternoon, butthere was some covering of short con¬tracts and prices hardener« In some In¬stances, only to lose their Improvementlater. Forecasts <>f tho government cropreport were conflicting and traders seem¬ed disposed to hold off In the absence ofdefinite news. For the rest of tho daybusiness continued dull at··*· aside fromthe further large offerings and Increased¦weakness of the United States Steelslocks, together with some liquidation ofAtchlson. the late session was almostfeatureless and closing prices were son-ernlly «t the lowest.The local money situation excited little

NEW YORK, Kept. 10..The mnrket made s
./fry tarn*· opening and the ir.ding was toolight to (¡he much character to the price move¬ments. If anything the tone «va» tinner on theImprovement 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 coveringof some professional Fhorts and the scarcity oftbe 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 tbefammi. People best likely to be wcIT Informed»how no uneasiness n» to tlie ne-t dividend, butreporta were current thnt the booka ebow a fall¬ing off lo orders of 600,000 ton».
STEEL THE FEATURE-:L'nlted State» Steil iva» the feature of the
first hour'» tradliii, and outside of thl* and thedevelopment of aorne weaknea» In IlrooklynTransit the market <v_* absolutely without In¬terest. The professional attendance was lightand 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 FirstNational Bank Interest*. The «ouree. of courue,?,-an purely a cilena on the part of the roomtrader*. There was also snld to be Borne quietselling by a house nonytlmes trndlng for theMoren ? Interest, ivhleh ban given the prlnolpnl.apport ln the recent past.
V>'EAKNr.SS IX ft. It: T.:Tbe weakness ln Ilrooklyn Rapid Transit was
fairly typical »f tlie its,Hns nt prosent In thetraction«. .Both Mctropeilltan nnd nriMfclyuliapld Transit have been so Ion« accuatoracd topiove under thn Influence of the intere»t» eon-trolling them that the recent dissolution of ao-calle«, "Inside" pool» has left thera In ? peenllnrly unprotected »tate, of wblch trader» arequiek to take advantage.
NORFOLK'S WIDE PRICE:Tbe velile price In Norfolk nnd Wettern wns
worth noting. Tbe first transaction waa madeat a point advance on the cloalng quotation on
yesterday. Thpre hnd undoubtedly been a gooddeal nf absorption of the tsoek for Investment,and npeclallita say that nothing In tho Penn·selva nia group In marc widely or conservativelyheld.
THE EARLY AFTERNOON:There wan some tendency to rally the market,
altbcugh there was hardly enough "way" onany Rtoek to keep It moving. Traders, however,were not disposed tn be found abort of the mar¬ket over the government crop report, nnd thisgave 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 thnfavorable rumore current on tho chiincps nf tliegovernment crop report. Tho effect, however,was rather tn restrict trading than to Induonmy serious liquidation,
