STOCKs-There was a complete change
in the condition OF affairs on the Stock
Exchange to-day. The bears were inclined
10 be aggressive early in the day when
sharp raid was made on Sugar, New Eng
land, Chicago Gas and few other special
ties. The shares named yielded 1a2& per
cent, the latter. in Sugar, which
fell off from 1927 10 995s 1t was
in this stock that the bears
met their first defeat. Around
par heavy buying orders were placed, and
the result was sharp rally. In the mean
time the street became lm0ued with the
fact that money was working toward
greater ease and that gold exports were
likely TO be much less than anticipated. 1t
was announced that the 100000 which
had been engaged for shipment by to-mor-
rows steamer, had been withdrawn, and
that instead of the S2,500,000 ex-
pected TO be forwarded by next
Tuesdays steamers probably less
than half that amount will 20. These
matters, together with advices from the
west that the railroads will soon announce
an advance in passenger and freight rates
and that Mr. j. PierpOnt Morgan will ar
range for Government loan while abroad,
started an active buying movement. The
advance was equal las per cent, the latter
in Pittsburg and Wertern preferred,
which on small offerings rose TO 80.
