All choice dairy products are firm at quota
tions, but movement is not as active as it was
few weeks ago. Eggs are weak and slow. Deal
ers in all lines of country produce complain Of
weather and roads. Many pice-laid plan for
profit has been upset by the lack Of the Gus
tomary winter weather Of December. The
strong factors Of markets are cabbage and cram
berries. Both have sharply advanced the past
week. Potatoes also show an upward tendency.
All the conditions are here for an active prod
uce trade, with higher prices save one, which is
vital, and that is crisp, frosty weather. Until
such times as the fates send US this boon. we

Manipulation of the Sugar Trust-Talk of
ConI. Carving CnmpanIes Combining.

Manipulation of the Sugar Trust-Talk of
Coal Carrying Companies Combining.
By Special Wire to John M. Oakley & COL
NEW YORK, December ia very limited
market would describe the business in stocks
for the greater portion of to-day. The only
feature of the early trading was scarcity of
Sugar Trust certificates. which resulted in
difference of n per cent between the sale of
cash>stock and those made in the regular way,
while u was the highest quoted premium paid
for the use Of the certificates until tomorrow.
This would seem little strange in view Of the
TACT that large amount Of this stock is now in
circulation, and the manipulation of it is all
the more marked.
About o'clock the general market was taken
started up developing considerable activity and
maintaining decided strength. The Coke
case still continues to be used as q factor to
affect the coal-carrying roads, but the latest in
Commerce Commission does not intend to
make any decision but desires the matter to be
adjusted between the parties interested.
In commenting on the argument advanced
idea was to distribute the profits of the trade
more equally between the miner and the car
rier, and in the conference that will
the formation of gigantic corpora
ton to control the coal trust trade"
This idea has been before advanced and the
possibilities Of great Coal Trust have no
doubt, been seriously considered by the con-
trolling spirits in the leading coal-carrying
companies. As yet these stocks are the weak
est spots of the list, and are menace to any
extended bull movement.
The tendency of the money market is to easier
figures, and this will prove an important factor
in influencing the purchase of stocks. We
still are OF the opinion. and which we think the
tain, that a good market may be looked for
early in the coming year.

The Post says: The general market was .
little lower in the hour to o'clock, but consid-
ering the extreme stagnation of speculation it
showed remarkable firmness instead Of grad.
stances.
The particular features Of the market which
help to sustain prices are, first. the continued
low rates for call loans which, this morning,
were freely offered at 8 per cent, the contlnu-
ance of the large railroad earnings and the ap-
parent disposition in London to invest in
American railroad securities.

SUGAR MANIPULATED.
The Trust Drops Like n Plummet Under n
Squeeze OF the ShOrts-Drives at tho
CoaIeFs and Graurera.


NEW YORK, December 1.-THE stock market
to-day was dull and stagnant as usual for the
list, and the only features were supplied by a
few stocks which were subject to special in
fiuences- The early portion of the day was
dull and lifeless, but later there was some ami
nation with decided upward tendency in
prices, and the list left OF in many cases
materially higher than last evenings figures
The sensation Of the forenoon was the manip-
ulation Of Sugar Rehneries, in which there
was supposed to be a squeeze of the shorts
going on. The price of the stock, however,
while it opened up at SO, was soon sold down to
81, and while, the borrowing demand was brisk
and premium of y per cent was exacted for
use of the stock az one time and cash sales
brought q premiumA of fraction over those
sold the regular way, there was heavy selling
Of the stock in the early trading at sellers
options of three dayR at as much difference as
per cent from the regular sales.
There are some people who think the appar-
ent short interest is reel, but others think that
insiders have sold their stock and are borrow
ing for delivery until after the closing of the
also those for cash ceased soon after noon and
the stock became comparatively quiet moving
with the rest of the market.
After Sugar settled down there was the usual
drive at the Coal stocks though Lackawanna
was the only sufferer, and that only to the ex-
tent of a fraction. The shorts began to cover
freely toward p. NJ, and the Grangers came
again to the front, all making marked improve
ment under the lead of Darlington, which
spurted up IL per cent. Among the specialties
there were several sharp advances, Oregon
Short Line and Consolidated Gas taking the
lead. followed by Chicago Gas and Denver,
Texas and Fort Worth and Tennessee Coal.
There was large order executed in Consoii-
dated Gas, and the traders bought on the theory
that the embarrassment of the electric light COM
panies BY the cutting of their wires by the city
authorities must rebound to the advantage of
Gas.

lowed the Grangers up, and the market finally
closed dull, but6trong, atabout the best figures.

IT is stated that work on the Pennsylvania
Railroad station house at the Fifth avenue
crossing will begin early in the spring. The
plans have been completed. 1t will be one of
the finest structures Of the kind on the road.
/ WORK has been suspended on California ave-
nue. owing partly to a kick Of the property

praisers of benefits and damages. Mr.. David
