STOCKR-The stock market was irregu-
lar in the early trading, chiefly in conse-
quence of sharp selling movement IN
American Sugar, which carried that stock
down. The other Industrials were unfa-
yorablv affected. While these movements
were in progress, however, Reading rose
IL on the resignation of Al. A. Mcleod
from the company, and it was said an un-
usually well informed quarters that
bankers who have been hostile
toward Mcleod would now come
forward and advance the money
needed by the company TO relieve II from
pressing financial obligations. New Eng
land sold off at first from 80 to 3l4, owing
to the feeling of uncertainty occasloned by
the new turn Of affairs in the Reading, put
at the decline there were liberal buying or
ders and rise to 33L occurred. The gen.
eraI market, after spell of hesitancy, de-
veloped unusual strength. The traders
fought the rise from start TO finish, out
the more they hammered the market the
moro aggressive did the bulls become, until
finally there was a sort OF scramble to
cover. The advance was stimulated by the
receipt of liberal orders by the commits
sion houses for both local and out OF town
accounts. In the cases OF Lake Shore,
Canada Southern, Michigan Central, New
York Central and Northwestern there were
indications of purchases for the Wander
bits. while in Missouri Pacific and West
ern Union brokers claimed TO trace the or
ders they had to the Gould party. The
dealings were we'll distributed and attend
ed with much animation. The market
closed strong at or near the top figures.
