New York. Jan. 2S.-The stock mar
ket could on the whole scarcely be called
active today, although the total tfansac-
tions were nearly $4,000 shares. Ofthis
amount nearly 0,O00 shares were
monopolized by the three leading i'll
dustriaIs, leaving only $4,000 for the
entire railroad list and the rest of the
industrials. The exports of gold today
and the assurance of further large
shipments next week had decided re-
straining influence upon the general
list. and while quotations were held
within extremely narrow limits for all
but the coal stocks and Manhat-
tan. a dropping tendency resulted
in generally lower prices which, how
ever, were only slightly changed from
those OF last evening. The general eX-
press on was that there would be no
move against the shorts in Sugar
today, and during the first hour of bus
iness that stock was quiet, with small
fluctuations. Later, however, it became
up from 1888 to 1928, while Mr..
White wasotfering to loan it at 4 per
cent per day. In the last few min1tes
it was supplied literally and fell
away to 12S$l, Is per cent lower
than it was last evening. Dis
tillers' was inclined to move in
sympathy with Sugar, but it was not
nearly so active, and its extreme range
was only IA per cent closing at AZ, with
a loss of a per cent for the day. The
great feature of the day was the sudden
activity III American Tobacco, though,
like Distilleries, it failed to fluctuate
over wider range than IL per cent
only, though it closed at its highest fig
ure. A large pool was formed last week
in the common stock, and reports are
published that the earnings for the past
few months have been at the rate OF 20
per cent per annum, and indicate
an increased output of about
so per cent on the formation
of the company. 1t is also said that
negotiations are nearly concluded which
will give the company practically con-
troll Of the tobacco trade of the country.
The activity, however, was really not
so large'a as indicated by the sales, which
reached nearly 10000 shares. as the par
value OF the stock is only $50.
Railroad shares were almost without
feature. except for the realiZations in
the coalers. induced by the nigh prices,
but substantial recoyeries were made
from the lowest figures, and the
final changes are insignificant.
The railroad list closed with a firm
undertOne at irregular changes for the
day. ea3e.-.. -.s
Bonds were still unusually active,
with firm tone. but small fluctuations,
the only feature of note being the
strength in Reading is. On
