HOME SECU RITES.
A FAIR. BUSINESS DONE FOR THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.

A Bomb, Thrown Into the Camp OF the
Manchester Traction People With
Bearish Intent Duquesne Continues
It's Upward Movement-No Specially
Weak Spots.
There was considerable business on
Change yesterday for the first day Of the
week. 1t was not blue Monday.
At the first call John D. Bailey paralyzed
the boys by offering 1900 shares of Man.
chester Traction at 351a. 1t was said after
ward that If he had offered it in so and 100
share lots he could have sold it there and
then. But this is surmiSed. AS it was, the
bundle was too big for the market on the
eve of the greatest holiday of the year and
just before the annual settlement period,
the thing for blocks of such magnitude.
Some said the stock belonged to Commodore
kountz. In retail way it was about a point
higher.
Birmingham Traction was steady and Du-
quesne higher. There was an offer of $40 to
concur that the road is doing II large busi-
ness and holding its business. There was
bid of 9255 for the bonds.
Philadelphia Gas was q tri1e better in
tone, If not in figures. There was no change
in the listed fractions. Luster was clipped
the new stock will soon pc entered on the
list. Switch and Signal was bid u3, with
none in sight Airbrake finished half a
point better than the opening.
Sales at first call were shares of CHARTERS
Gas at 81, and 100 Philadelphia Gas at 1874.
Second call, 15 Philadelphia Gas at 49, and
birmingham Traction at ls11. Third call,
40 Duquesne at 1871, Electric Mt 12I, 5 at 13,
and 10 Citizens Traction at 604. Bids and

All expectations of an advance in sugar
are over for the present. Though margins
are very close to the jobber and stock now
laid down at present must be sold very close
to cost, there is no Improvements in markets.
Coffees are firm. Advices from New Orleans
indicate q strong molasses market. Tho
yield of this season Is now almost all in.
Previous years the products have not been
to the front as a rule before the new year.
The yield of open kettle molasses this season
is reported to be so per cent below the aver
age yield.

with fluctuations confined to a narrow range
averaging somewhat lower, though the close
was at one point advance over that of Satur-
