Sugar the Tendency of Prices Was
 Downward-The Railway List Was

With the Exception of American
 Sugar the Tendency of Prices Was
 Downward-The Railway List Was
 Weak.
 NEW YORK, May 3.-Except in the case of American Sugar, the tendency of prices at the stock exchange to-day was downward. Sugar figured for s6, 100 shares. The stock opened a shade higher at 100If, reacted to 106, rose to 1os5s and closed at 107N. An active demand for refined sugar and favorable Washington rumors combined with bull manipul ,tion led to the rise. The other industrials were firm for Chicago Gas and Tobacco, the street having evi- dently forgotten the existence of the attorney general of Illinois. Lead, however, was not 50 strong and ranged between 39s5 and 4oSS, closing at 40.
 The railway list was weak throughout the pressure being most pronounced in the cases of stocks now in process of reorganiz ation. Fear of heavy assessments accounts for the liquidations. Among these Atchison, Northern Pacific preferred, Union Pacific and New Egg land were most prominent. Atchison declined 1z to 11zS, Northern Pacific preferred 11k to 1714, Union Pacific to 1734 and New England 1ss to 6H. So far as Atchison Is concerned 1t was alleged that the reorganiz ation scheme when published will provide for the funding of number of coupons on the general mortgage 4s., reconversion of the per cent. and e sealing of the Colorado Midland and Atlantic and Pacific bonds. This is the street story and is given for what it is worth. Reading was pressed for sale, owing to the threatened fore closure of the property as fntimated by the general mortgage bondholders' committees of this city. Louisville and Nashville fell l1f to 477s, St. Paul to el7s Burlington aud Quincy 1N to 7sA and Rock Island $ to 6sI6. The market was adversely influenced by the shipments of $1,oOo,0oo gold by the Augusta Victoria to-day, belief that about four nit lions additional will bs exported on Saturday by the Lucania and the poor statement of the St. Paul for the fourth week and month of April. At the close Sugar alone was strong, the rail way list showing 6 declining tendency. The bears were more confident than of late and were predicting a sharp decline in the grangers tomorrow. St. Paul, it was said, would be the objective point. Net changes show losses of A to l34 per cent, with Atchison leading. Sugar gained 1ss and the preferred N.
 Railway and miscellaneous bonds were weak. Atchison and Reading issues were the features. Sales were 1885, 900.

At that hour Sheriff Brown of Middlesex county, was on hand to dispose of the property. There were many prospective bidders.

The Second Mortgages. A CONFERENCE HELD YESTERDAY - THE NEW ENGLAND ROAD

NEW ENGLAND ROAD.
 BOSTON, May 3-There was . confer ence in Boston to-day between second mortgage bondholders and members of the New England re organization committee. The second mortgage bondholders will re- ceive this notification:
 By the second mortgage you are entitled to the property of the New York and New England 1Ailroad, subject to the first and terminal mortgages on your debt at par and interest. The reorganization committee sd- init not only that the security Is ample, but also that there Is an equity of several millions of dollars of value in the property beyond the second mortgage and yet they do not propose to give you either right to which you are entitled. Your committee have determined to secure for the second mortgage bondholders whom they may represent one or the other, namely, their debt at par and interest or the property. A plan for the deposit of second mortgage bondholders will be sub mitted as soon as the papers can be pre- pared, in which all second mortgage bond holders will bs asked to cooperate. Your committee, therefore, recommend bondholders not to accept the offer of the reorganization committee. All bondhold- CTS who have not already sent their names to the trustees of the second mortgage are earnestly requested to send their names, addresses, the amount of bonds held by them and the numbers they bear to Otis Kimball, P. o. box No. 5,151, Boston, Nass., to whom any communication can alse be sent.
