SUGAR SUFFERED A DECLINE
Break Of 8 ~ Per Cent. on Rumor
of Liquidation.
OTHER STOCKS GENERALLY FIRM
Owing to Rumor That the Pool Was Liqui-
dating, Sugar Broke Badly Railroad
Stocks We're Firm, with Slight Advance
and Good Buying Late in the Day.

New YORK, March 2O.-The speculation in
the shares OF the American Sugar Refining
Company was the great feature on the Stock
Exchange to-day. With the exception OF a
slight movement in Burlington and Quincy
and st. Paul, the trading in the rest OF the
list was sluggish. and the sales OF all COM
bined did not equal the transaction in sugar.
At the opening sugar declined one-eighth and
then rose three-quarters, but before II O'Clock
n well-delned selling movement in the shares
had been inaugurated which sent prices down
rapidly until $3.50 was touched shortly nfter
o'clock, making a decline of three-quarters
from the closing figures OF yesterday.
large selling order, executed through the
brokers of well-known bear operator,
started the downward movement and led to
the belief that the sugar pool was liquidating.
Necessarily this caused rush to sell on the
part of many holders not in the clique.
Later in the afternoon there were evidences
of strong buying in the stock, which caused a
recovery OF 81 per cent, but in the final
dealings the selling was resumed and a re-
action of 1Ls was made, the closing being at
a decline of 3Jls per cent. on the day; the pre-
ferred stock receded q per cent. The gen.
eral market opened firm at an advance of
L@lG per cent, Chicago Gas making an ad-
vance of per cent in the early dealings, but
quickly reaeting q. Very little was done in
the railway list until IL o'clock the Industrials

lative fraternity. Northern Pacific preferred.
however, on small transactions, sold up / 4
per cent. The fluctuations. except in some
of the specialties. were confined within mar
row limits up to noon, but Chicago and Alton
rose per cent. and Edison Electric declined
IL per cent
Daring the early afternoon the break in
sugar affected a few other shares unfavor-
ably, but the main tody OF the market was
held very firmly, the main feature being dull
ness. But later in the day speculation took
on flrmer tone and the best buying of the
day was seen, which sent up prices 4 to 1$l,
Burlington, Lead. Western Union. Rock
Island. Louisville and Nashville. Baltimore
and Ohio and Oregon Improvement leading
the upward movement. The higher range of
values induced realizations Of profits, and in
the final dealings reaction of 1sa3s in the
general LIST and Ia in Delaware. Lackawanna

dag for the immediate employment of the
most improved tenders on street railway lines
in the District Is bearing fruit
Senator Gallinger of the Senate Committee
on the District OF Columbia, yesterday intro
duced the following resolution:
Resolved. That the Committee on the District
OF Columbia be directed to investigate and re-
port as promptly may be whether in their
opinion the street railways of the city of WASH
ington propelled by cable and electric power
have adopted and are using the most effective
tenders for the protection of human life and
limb and if they are not so using the best avail
able appliances what remedy should be in
voked TO compel them TO do so.
The resolution was Immediately passed.
Senator Gallinger said later that it was
high time for action in this regard, as the cor
porations in this city had been showing eN
cessive carelessness of late, as recent acci-
dents testified. Besides the question of
Tenders, the question OF speed would be taken
up a. the hearing of the District Committee.
