UP WENT SUGAR AGAIN.
Talk Of Favorable Legislation
Caused the Boom.
Buying Orders Sent Over Private
Wires from Washington.

The week opened with a tendency
towards Improvement in the Stock Ex-
change, and the bears were unable to
make any impression upon prices
The settlement of the strike and the
reduced estimates OF the losses sustained
by the roads while the labor troubles
were in progress had Il good effect
The feature of the market, however,
was the Industrial group, advices from
Washington having been received to the
effect that the tariff conferrees had
agreed to make a report which will be
| favorable to the Sugar Trust.
On this the bulls took hold Of Sugar
stock and whisked the price up . L., to
lOl SIS.
The dealings were large and attended
! with considerable animation. A number
of buying orders were executed by
houses having private wires TO Wash

meeting with greater opposition. Chica-
SO Gas ran off to 7e 3-i and Sugar to lOl.
Money continues in superabundant sup
ply at per cent on call and at a on
| time. There is little demand for accom-
modations at bank either for mercantile
or speculative purposes. This was shown
by Saturdays bank statement, the loans
having been further contracted last
week.
While the stock market was quiet, the
temper OF speculation continued bullish,
and further advances were made by the
Changers and some of the specislties.
The shorts were nervous, and many of
them covered on the advance.
There were liberal realiaations at the
Stock Exchange towards the close, ana
