SroCKs.-Wau street has again proven
that il is not entirely safe TO take IL Ior
Granted that speculative movements on the
New York Stock Exchange are certain 10
be made upon lines which public opinion
might regard as q logical sequence OF GER
tain conditions. AS matter OF TACT the
street finds delight in furnishing sur
prises 10 its habitues from which no pro-
IN ever accrues 10 the outsider.
| Last evening the share market
closed strong and there was buoyaucy TO
lthe late trading which gave promise OF In
creasing strength. The situation had a
ROSY hue and the London market came IN
strong. Some of the shorts were urgent
| q cover and there was rot little buying
| or the long account. But the sugar pool,
/ me most powerful or the Wall street
| combinations, took turn at hammerlng
! ueir own shares. The secretary Oh Tue
| tust gave out letter no nSu
written denying Congressman wilson :
| satement that the company had purcusseu
| Sn2.OOO. OOO worth Of raw sugar ana PUTIN \

cutting down the alleged Prosp;eSe ,,l,,,,
profits 10 a comparatively insignificant
sun. An early advance OF y ON
! the stock was quickly wiped out ahG
/ a break of 5ls per cent was eDglneered
| with Intervening rallies, so as TO let nolu-
| ers n me shares down easily. At the low
| err fulres there was good buying and a re
cove.y was made TO 1919, the closing
I prizes being sc and l$lc below the closing
/ sale of yesterday. Sugar preferred

| late in he afternoon, when strong tone
was infused into the trading, ana rdI-

I vances we're recorded on the days trans
