STOCK JIAKKAT. New York,- Sept (.-Selling of stocks by speculsUve holders to-dsy was Induced by the perception that some of the essump- tlons on whiob they has acquired them were not well founded. The conspicuous feature waa American Smelting, which broke badly In continuation ot Its weak ness ot yesterday. The prominent place given to American Smelting in the widely advertised Lawson campaign made Its example Influential in raising fears of similar condition to be met in other stocks. the mental and industrial group were most closely affected In sympathy. The July net-earnings reports of. railroads coming to hand and those of gross earn ings for the later weeks of August Indi cate a slender foundation for the more sanguine estimates ot the rate of Im provement The same Is true of the re turns from tbs iron and steel trade where the revival Is going on steadily but ad mittedly slowly. Conditions In the money and exchange markets were little chang ed. -' Discounts eased in London in spite of large withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England for export.
