STocKs.-There was a collapse in the
price of Whisky Trust at the opening Of
the Stock Exchange this morning, and for
a time the dealings in those speculatives
were attended with considerable excite
ment. There was rush TO sell the stock
at the opening and it dropped rapidly. The
selling was due TO reports and published
statements to the effect that the Distillers'
and Cattle Feeding Company, under
which name the trust is known, was in
financial straits. 1t was stated among 9TH
err things that the rebate fund of S2,500.0O0
had been used up, that floating debt had
been created, and that the directors at a
meeting held on Saturday had decided TO
passed all further dividends until the debt
had been wiped out and the rebate fund re-
established. Sugar and Tobacco trusts
were also pressed for sale and both
declined fractionally but later re-
covered. Sugar was especially well
supported and not only recovered the early
decline but advanced fractionally within
few minutes after the opening.
The market was weak for most
of the list throughout the afternoon.
The selling movement of the morning was
renewed at intervals during the afternoon
and the pressure TO sell was especially
marked in the last hour The closing
prices for the majority OF the list were the
lowest of the day. Sales, 52S,91S shares.
Quotations closed bid.
