BULLS GAINED MORE COURAGE
They Used the Outstanding Short
Interest to Put Up Stocks
Burlington and Quincy Attacked
but Quickly Rallied.

The bulls displayed a little more
courage this morning, and advanced the
entire list. using the heavy outstanding
short interest as a lever with which to
lift the market. They experienced little
difficulty In alarming the bears in Chi
cago Gas and Sugar. The former rose 1
to ~ 5-S. n the latter 1 3-8 to 100 5-S.
The gains otherwise were Is to "a per
cent. but the volume of trading was
light.
The gold shipments to Europe had no
effect upon the market. while the fact
that securities in London were quoted
firm served to encourage the traders on
the long side. st. Paul rose SIS to
50 5-s. Rock Island 12 to GS Ia. Missouri
Pacific 1-2 to q, Lead preferred ga to
SO 3-4, Reading "a to II IA. Western
Union 3-S to SO rs, Distillers 3-s to "a IA,

After 1890 A. M. there was a pressure
to sell Burlington & Quincy under which
that stock declined from n l-8 to rs 3-s.

The meeting Of the turf representa-

last night was about as stormy as was

party. Keene, Hunter, Knapp and
Lackman were tempestuous. II Mr..
Hunter looked at one time as II he
was going to ave an apopleptic Mt, but
he managed to recover his temper.
Mr.. Keene did see fit to apologize to
Mr.. Engeman for the gratuitous insult

treated shamefuliy by the American
Turf Congress. and the Jockey, Club
TnoguIs profess to believe that Tarleton
and his ccnfreres were harsh to the chi
cago men, but Corrigan and Howard
were informed that they cannot be ad-
United within the Jockey Club shrine
until they have made peace with the
Turf Congress and done whatever pen
ance the Western turf rulers see nv to
suggest.
One thing that was especially shabby
in the treatment of Messrs. Howard and
y Corrigan was the action of the Brook

these gentlemen for admission TO the
Gravesend track yesterday.
