New York, Oct. 16.-The receipt Of
lower quotations from London and un-
certainty in regard to the extent of the
outflow of gold led to an irregular mar
ket for stocks at the opening. The sell
ling lacked force, however, and subse-
quently a better tone prevailed. The
main factor however was the great
strength shown by American Sugar,
which advanced from 81 to S67s on pur-
chases of upwards of 10000 shares.
Changes in other leading shares We're
far less important, but prices closed
fractionally higher than yesterday.
Trading in a majority of instances fell
to unusually small proportions and was
almost entirely local. Speculation left
off firm lin tone. Total sales were
10000 shares.
The range of today's prices or the ac-
tive stocks of the New York market are
given below. The quotations are furnished

terday afternoon on an indictment
charging them jointly with murder in
the first degree in having on June s,

John Nolan, with intent to cause his
death, that they might obtain and share
