Standardization Sugar proved 20 be
to-day's sensation az the Stock Exchange
The price opened az lob, rose 70 1888 and
then, under a steady OutpOuriug Of long
stock, dropped 70 955S.' The dealings IN
this amounted 20 22S,559 shares. Blocks
and blocks were thrown overheard. The
story current yesterday that an
Injunction would be sued out 70
restrain the payment Of the extra
dividend of the common stock was
emphantically denied by officials of the
company, who took the opportunity 10 relt-
crate their favorable statements IN regard
10 the prosperous financial condition OF the
property This did not allay the appre-
tensions felt Oy small holders OF the shares,
however, and the pressure continued right
up 10 the close. the final quotation being
81 above the lowest. The enormous lqui-
dations in this stock had little influence
on the general list and it was not
until the anthracite cOalers gave
way that there was any material decline
in the leading shares. The COalers yielded
I TO 25& per cent, Lackawanna leading.
The depression was due % the announce
ment that the sales agents at their meeting
this afternoon had decided upon redUc-
ton in the prices OF coal OF I'D 20 90 cents
per ton. The statement of the receivers OF
the Reading Company was looked upon as
better than previous reports had Indicated
and the unfavOrable features of the eX-
hibit had been discounted The market
closed weak for the industrials and coalers
and steady for the general list. Sales
