SToCKs-The volume of business on the
Stock Exchange has been steadily decreas-
ing during the week, and to-day's transac-
tions were the lightest since Saturday last.
The market, too, seems to be again lapsing
into the hands of the traders, and tue deal
| iugs are characterized by that irregularlty
which marks the movement or the purely
professional speculative element. To-Day
there were spurtS OF activity and up
ward movement made simply for the pur'
pose of getting fresh starting points
for new attacks upon values. London
buying orders were quite heavy at the
opening and American securities were
higher on the London Stock Exchange
The operators for a decline were more
numerous than the buyers and they used
the few points on their side OF the account
TO best advantage. II was reported that
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House had decided TO reduce the duty on
sugar, and this was used as lever to move
the shares of the American Sugar Refining
Company down 3l{ per cent, during which
process large number OF shares changed
hands. Shortly after - o'clock the press
IRE 10 sell was removed and partial re-
covery took place, the market continuing
fairly firm for perhaps about an hour, then
a new selling movement was organized,
which, however. was shortly met by some
good buying, which checked the reaction
and introduced a firm tone into the deal
ings once more, bringing about recovery
which at the close had reached 1sa114 per
cont The market closed firm. but at prices
lka96 per cent. below the closing figures
