NEW YORK. March 6.-Rarely. II ever,
I'm the history of the Stock Exchange.
have there been such violent fluctuations
I'm a stock as were witnessed In American
Sugar during the first hour OF busi-
ness to-day. At the start there was
decline of about ? points 10 81, following
which a rise OF Il points TO 100 took
place. Then. In less time than II takes
to tell 1t. the stock sold down to ~ and
back TO oJst. Reasons innumeraole were
given for the sensational changes in the
stock. 1t was said that Washington
and local bears had been alarmed by
the placing OF big buying order and
had rushed In to cover, which resulted
in the phenomenal rise already noted.
Others said the rise was the result OF
pool buying. Keen was credited with
having the management OF this latest
commission. The subsequent collapse
TO eOl5 was said TO be due TO the fact
that the big bears in the stock had been
compelled to make a private settlement
at lVo. OF course, with the elimination
or the short interest. there was no longer
any reason to support the price. and
buying orders We're withdrawn, with the
result already noted. Closing transac-
tons in the stock were at 9Ols, gain
Tor the day Of only x per cent. The
dealings in the stock footed up 1871 100
shares. out of grand total OF 35l,5sO.
Naturally the bears in the other issues
were much alarmed early in the day
because of the rise in Sugar, and made
frantic efforts to cover. Their purchases
brought about an advance OF 4 10 Ia
per cent, Chicago Gas, Western Union,
Lead, and the Changers figuring promi-
nently in the improvement. Late In
the day an attack was made on the
Changers, st. Paul selling down TO GOA
Burlington and Quincy TO 7Oh. Rock
Island to COS. and Northwestern TO 1O4ia.
The sellers OF these stocks displayed un-
usual confidence. and one broker sold
fully 1000 shares OF ST. Paul alone. Chi
cagO Gas was a favorte of the sellers,
and declined TO 6i&. The result OF this
attack was a very irregular closing. with
everybody watching for further develop
ments in the Sugar deal. The net changes
show losses OF i44li2 per cent. outside of
Whisky, Sugar. and Western Union.
