STocKs-Operation in the stock market
for outside account seem 70 have been re-
duced 10 the lowest ebb, and to-day deci-
dedly professional appearance was impart-
ed to the dealings. The market showed
great strength in the forenoon, but the buy
ing was entirely for the short account,
and when this Stacked away the
bears took hold of the lines
and steady advances were In
many cases wiped out and few substan-
tial losses were established and great ir-
regularity was shown at the close. The
buying at the opening was very urgent,
especially in Sugar. An impression that
considerable surplus will remain after the
payment of 3 per cent. on Sugar for
the next dividend had been carefully culti-
waited. and as the charter compels such dis
tribution, the hope still remains in some
quarters that an extra dividend must fol-
low. The shorts bought heavily and the
stock was advanced from l2414 to 1853,
but as in other stocks, full supply was
found at the figures and the brokers
who had been instrumental in turning the
market the other day became heavy sellers
and were followed by the others, with the
result of uncovering many stop orders and
Sugar was beaten down to 12l4, "A slight
rally followed, but il closed with net loss
of IL per cent. A favorable in
depreciation was put on the
answer OF the Northern Pacific
management to the report of the
stockholders committee and Northern Pa
ci6c preferred was bought freely in the
forenoon until at 4l%ci it showed a net
gain of per cent. II resisted the late de-
cline better than most stocks on the list
and rallied in the late dealings with more
force, finally closing at 4lc, with net
gain of Ia per cent. There was nothing
specially new in Reading affairs and 1t took
a position second TO Sugar in the market,
but was advanced to 2Sc, from which 1t was
driven down TO 26c. It's final change, how
ever, was insignificant. Sales 497,OOO
