New York. Dec. while the trading in
American Sugar was again on an enor-
nous scale to-day the sales footing up
nearly $4,000 shares, the stock did not
monopolize speculative attention by any
means. Traders had something else to talk
about, the development in Washington in
the matter of the proposed amendment
to the interstate commerce law so as TO
permit pooling, having not only furnish
ed operators with fresh topic for dis
cussion but created a bullish sentiment
in railway stocks as well. The impression
here is that congress will certainly mod
fly. the law in this respect, and this be-
lief offset the proposed exports of 81 $50 900
gold, and a further rise in sterling
exchange. Brokers usually representing
big bear operators were heavy buyers of
railway issues throughout the day Bus
mess was also better distributed and the
demand was quite general. The rise in the
railway list ranged from y to 27s per cent.
