New York, Sept 4.—-The market this morning was again subjected to the conflicting forces of a violent specula tion. Some fairly sensational gains were made In particular stocks, and taking the list as a whole, all advances were more numerous than declines. But the movement after the first few min utes of an excited opening, was ex tremely Irregular, and In many quar ters profit taking sales, conducted un der cover of the great strength In the day’s leaders, was fully a match for the new buying orders. There was every reason to believe that the Lon don market had been "rigged” for a speculative opening here.
