BIG DEALINGS IN SUGAR.
The Stock Sent Upward Amidst
Some Excitement.
Rest OF the Market Goes Up In
Sympathy.

The week opened with a quiet condi-
ton Of affairs at the Stock Exchange
outside Of Sus ir. The activity in this
stock. however. more mar made up for
the dulness In the general list.
Advices from Washington that the
Sugar Trust would receive increased
protection led to an active demand for
the shares, and at the opening sales
were mad simultaneously at 1o 1-2 up
to lO6 against 10i l2 at the close on Sat
urday.
The shorts were considerably alarmed.
and in their haste to cover bid the
price up on themselves to LOG IL:
The rise was taken advantage OF by the
bulls to get rid of a block of long
stock, and a reaction to l0i "a a los en-
sued.
The dealings were attended with con-
siderable excitement and in the first
hour no less than 5000 shares changed
hands.
