tirely confined to American Sugar and
Chicago Gas. the former really occu-
plying nearly all the attention Of brokers
and spectators. The slump near the
close yesterday induced heavy selling
for the short account this morning, but

old dodge again. and "milked" the SELL
ers out of considerable money.
The price touched 90 SIS, but stayed
around that figure only for a moment,
heavy buying orders carrying It up rap
Idly to $685. Later reaction Of a
point ensued.

trading in Sugar. The men who control

loose with any number Of small specula-
tors who have the temerity to deal in
the stock, which Is being tahooed by the
conservative element in Wall street. The
dealings in Sugar during the first hour
were close on to $1,000 shares.

The walls and furniture Of the room in
which Mrs. Kuffman's body was found
are covered with blood and 1t is evident
that she made a brave fight for her life.
