OWING TO THE HOLIDAY All the Leading Exchanges Will Be Closed Today Foreign Mar kets on Steadier Basis. Bonds Are Firm. NEW YORK. Sept. 4. Th stock market waa affected as usual by the Imminence or a three days' holiday. Dealings were connneJ largely to the closing up of contracts by tha trartera who are averse to the risk of a long period In which stocks cannot be dealt in, while some sudden event might Influence the speculative situation. It became manifest that In the decline of yesterday traders had op erated with some freedom on the short aldo of the" market. The demand which advanced prices today was attributed to covering op erations from that source. Not only the stock exchanges, but the commercial ex changes generally, are to be closed in tne country tomorrow aa an extension of the I.atxr day holiday on Monoay. Tha day s dullness wae tha result. Foreign market gave evidence of a suo sldence of the uneasiness caused Dy mo Moroccsn situation. , Preliminary estimates of the week cur rency movement Indicated a falling oft In shipments to New i 01 k. but not yet "' clently to turn the tide of the movement In favor of the Interior. Reports from Chicago confirm the lightness of the demand for funds from interior banks. The large aurplua held by the New York banks leaves the subject of little Interest from the banking standpoint The sluggish demand from the Inurlor tor currency tends rather to confirm doubta or the rate of business recovery. Ths week-s exports of wheat showed a nota ble expansion. rWrif to 6.3H6.026 bushels , com psred with 4.525.503 huhels last week and only 2.92,1.710 in this week last year There waa a considerable demand for foreign ex change, nevertheless, which gave ear.y flrm nesa to that market. copper warrants declined In London without affecting the recovery In the price- of copper Industrials.

But Conservatism Still Governs Buying Operations Building Trade Is Larger. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Bradntreeta tomor row will say: Fall Jobbing trade, and to a lesser extent retail demand, has been helped this week by the advent of cooler weather, the opening of the eeason of Fall festivities and the continuance ot buyers' excursions. Hence the consensus of report that distri bution haa expanded at leading Northwestern and Southwestern markets, while there is a further gain shown at many Southern cen ter. Enlargement of crop movements, par ticularly Winter wheat and cotton, haa also made for a further Improvement in collec tions, which at many points are normal. But the wefc-ht of testimony la that trade 1 tlll below the aame period of last year and con traction was already In evidence. Conserv atism. In fact, still governs buying opera tions, and there la a disposition to order merely for Immediate or nearby necessities, pending a clearer view of the political outlook and the reaping of the later Autumn crops. Iron and steel production la from 60 to 80 per cent of full capacity and the settlement of the Alabama coal miners and the New England paper-makers' strike has made for a larger output. There la a further gain In the output of lumber, particularly In the South and In the Pacific Northweat. Build ing trade Is expanding at Western cities, but the preliminary August report show a larger decrease from a year ago than was shown in July or June, owing largely to heavy de creases at New York City.

UW8 IDLE MACHINERY AND CARS More Work for Wage Earner Mews Larger Retail Trade. NEW YORK. Sept. 4 R. O. Dun ft Co.' weekly review of trade tomorrow will say. The steady decrease In percentage or idle machinery and number of Idle frela-nt cars swells the amount of money distrib uted among wage earners and gradually Increases the volume of retail trade. As stocks of merchandise In the stores of re tailer become depleted, there Is more con fidence regarding the future and contracts are made covering deliveries up to the end of the year, but conservatism still domi nates the situation, and many plans will not materlaltre Into anything tangible until the election uncertainty is removed, two months hence. . Liabilities of commercial failures would have compared favorably with thone of the same month last year, but for three large suspensions, one of which waa speculative and had no effect on legitimate business.

Sept. 4. Listlesaness perveded the wheat pit today and prices were confined to a rather narrow range of about c for the day. Pit traders were inclined to the sell ing side of the market, on the theory that after four days of a steadily advancing price a reaction was due. The support given the market for the past few session by numerous bulls was lacking today, and this was partly responsible for tha bearish tone which pre vailed the greater part of the session. Weather In the Northwest was Ideal for threshing and moving the newly-harvested grain and re ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were largi enough to afford miller ample opportunity to supply their needs, the two points having iota, arrivals of 643 cars, against 166 cars a year ago. Flour sales at Minneapolis were again reported liberal. Some Improvement in the exoort demand for wheat was observable, both here and In the Bast, but no large amount of business was reported. Wheat for September delivery was still badly congested, because of the concentration of large hold ings In strong hands, and at one time aold at a full cent premium over December. The market closed Irregular, September being firm and the new crop months easy. Rising temperature throughout the corn belt having dissipated frost damage fears, the corn market waa subjected to considera ble realising, which caused soma' weakness. The market closed easy, with prices He to 44?c lower. Local receipts were 248 cars, with 58 of contract grade. Oats were dull and heavy. At the close price were WAc higher to c lower. Local receipts were 192 ears. The feature of trading- In provision wa liberal sales of lard and rlba by local pack ers, which caused moderate weakness. The market closed easy, with price off CVt t 17Hc compared with the previous close. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
