SToCKs-Tbe share speculation to-day
was irregular and unsettled, with the gen.
eral trend of prices in the direction OF low
err figures, the Industrials showing the
greatest depression. The volume OF ousl-
ness was large but the sellers were far IN
excess of the buyers, especially as regards
Sugar, Chicago Gas and Distilling, which
led In the transactions. Whiskey Trust
shares were very heavy in the early deal
ings and were pressed for sale, with the
result of sending them down to .,
the lowest figure ever touched
bv the stock In the after
noon conflicting rumors touching the prop
erty caused feverish trading, out an al
vance to 1l% was effected, from wnlcn
there was a reaction Of q per cent at the
close, leaving a gain on the day OF = per
cent There was vague feeilng OF ais
Quiet in the Sugar crowd and as result
the price declined up to about l 80 O'Clock,
when a decline of 21% per cent. to 94sl had
been effected. Covering Of short con-
tracts subsequently, led to recovery to
g655, the decline from yester-
days closing being "a and
for the preferred l. Liquidation
of long stock of Chicago Gas was quite
large, resulting in decline Of 2& per cent.
The last price made was at decline Oh
256 on the dav. The losses in the other In
dustrials were Tobacco and Leather pre-
ferred per cent. and General Electric
4. In tue railway list the Changers
showed most activity, and ST. Paul wasthe
leader ia the transactions, fuctuating be-
tween 655Sa64sI, closing 4 below the hnal
quotation of yesterday The market closed
about steady for the railway list, but weak
for the Industrial group. The bond mar
ket opened rather heavy, and continued
weak until the early afternoon, when un-
der good buving prices recovered, and the
active list shows slight Improvement.
