SrocKs-Five stocks monopolized the
dealings on the Stock Exchange to-day. to
wit: Reading, Sugar, st. Paul, Chicago
Gas and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
which are named in the order OF their ac-
tivity. The rest of the list was extremely
dull. though in two or three cases marked
declines were made on very light dealings.
Reading was sold quite freely at the
opening, largely on Philadelphia
orders induced by the alleged
uufayorable showing made by Expert Lit
ties report read at yesterdays bondnold-
ers' committee meeting. 1t closed "a per
cent. below yesterdays closing sale. Sugar
was sent down pa per cent, the tnal sale
showing only X recovery. In st. Paul a
report in the afternoon that the earnings
for the second week of November would
show a material decrease caused that
stock to decline. Chicago Gas on
heavy selling shows loss OF
about II per cent. Chicago, Bur,
lington and Quincy opened higher. and
then receded steadily under attacks OF
bear traders, until it had lost rs per cent.
The short interests used arguments that
the current earnings were not on dividend
paving basis The general market was
strong in the opening dealings but soon
became irregular and then lapsed into dull
ness. There were occasional periods OF
activity and tirmness but they were Few
and far between. Compared with final
sales of yesterday, the general list is down
1Ia35I per cent. Sales POS, 100 shares. Quo
