GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 1.
The affairs of Sugar are attracting I'M
usual attention Just now because of a con-
| viction among traders and operators gen.
orally that a crisis is impending. There is
| some difference of opinion as to the neces-
| sity of closing the refneries. but the best
evidence, obtainable points clearly to the
| fact that policy and not the requirements
of the trade was responsible for the publ
cation of official but unauthorized reports
that operations could only be continued at
a loss.
The desire to rescue this company from
| the control of politicians and all legislative
| bodies is now so decidedly pronounced
among its officials that the reduction of
| the dividend rate is being seriously con-
sidered, and with less opposition than dur
| ing the last agitation on this subject.
The purchases Of the stock this morning
| by houses supposed to represent outside
interests attracts the attention of traders,
| who bought the stock up to So "a, gain
| of IA per cent from the opening
The attitude of Congress will control all
| speculation in this stock from now on,
and higher prices are consequently not
| probable.
Conditions applicable to the railway list
| have not improved materially during the
week, and, with activity likely centering in
! the industrial group, the outlook for i'm
| mediate advances in this department, ex-
| cept momentarily, is not encouraging.
The weakness in the market for foreign
| exchange, noticeable earlier in the week,
| gave way to higher rates Immediately up
| on the announcement that all the bonds
| embraced in the new loan would 20 TO the
| local syndicate.
The bank statement shows only a part
| of the transfer of gold to the treasury in
payment for bonds, the net decrease in
| lawful money being only $17,G0O,0OO, all in
| gold. The banks have actually lost $40
100000 10 the treasury. the results Of
which will appear in later statements.
The increase in loans is due, of course,

JUDGE COX'S DECISION.
Orders n Sale Of the Property Of En-
dowment Association.

uo"heht
In the case of the Washington Beneficial
Endowment Association against the Com
mercial Alliance Life Insurance Company,
Judge Cox today signed an order directing
Receivers Fields and Lipscomb to sell at
public auction all Of the real and personal
property which was transferred by the as
ISOLATION to the Commercial Alliance Life
Insurance Company of New York, of which
they have taken possession, except books,
papers and documents.
The real estate includes premises No.
40 10th street northwest, described as the
north % feet IL inches by depth of 1O7
feet 9 inches of original lot IL, in square
37S, the improvements consisting of the
nearly new three-story and basement build
ing recently occupied by the Endowment
Association, and a good two-story brick
stable in the rear.
1t is understood that the receivers will
hold the proceeds of the sale until all par
ties interested have had full opportunity to
be heard in support of their respective
claims, and that the order of distribution
will be fixed hereafter by the court, ana
the receivers will distribute the proceeds
of sales as the court may direct.
Before judgments, death claims, or claims
of certificate or policy holders against the
beneficial Endowment Association can be
paid in full or in part the conveyance from
the association to the commercial Alliance
Company will, it Is said, have to be set
aside by the court.
This done. judgments will probably be
paid first, then death claims, and then
policy holders in good standing. But this
order of distribution may not be followed,
as the death claims and those of policy
holders may be placed upon the same foot
ing as the New York receiver of the Com
mercial Alliance Company has done. If
the conveyance to the Commercial Alliance
be not set aside of course, all of the pro-
ceeds of sale will go to the New York COM
pany or It's receiver, and all local claimants
will be left without means to satisfy their
demands unless some way can be devised
to reach officers of the association per-
sonally.
The claims of the creditors of the asso-
citation, 1t Is explained, will more than ex-
haust the proceeds Of sale, and in all prob
ability there will be deficiency But 1t
is probable that all creditors will get at
least a fair pro rata Of the amounts due
them.
The receivers state that they have moth
ing to do with the claims of creditors W hich
should be presented to the court and not to
them If any parties desire to inspect the
papers in the hands of the receivers appli-
cation should be made to the court and not
to the receivers, as they will allow eXamin-
alton only upon the express order of the
court.
AS soon as the property is Sold 1t is said,
the suits will be pushed rapidly to the
final hearing. The suit of Robert Ball ct
al against the Endowment Association eft
al was today consolidated with the cause
of the association against the Commercial
Alliance Company, in which the receivers
were appointed, and the whole matter Will
now proceed in the one consolidated case
to final determination.

cially the one In which Lieut.. Gessford
and Sergt. Daley figured. During the past
week Commissioner Truesdell has had ex-

lice, concerning some of the cases, and 1t
