new YORK, Mar. 6.-Amerioan sugar
touched par shortly before II o'clock TIN,
morning. The stock closed at 80 las
night. The lump of ten points means tbs,
somebody has been cornered. All kinds OF
rumors are alloat. 1t is believed that after
the House passed the free sugar schedule an
enormous short interest was made. Now.
that the Senate is inclined to grant some pro
lection the short interest has become fright
ened and IS trying to get out. A story to c
count for the rise was that a prominent bear
op ;rator, who has been caught short. had been
compelled to cover a line of $4,000 slarc.
at par privately with the victorious bulls
The general stock market was weak in tho
early trading, but the sensational rise in Am,r
lean sugar brought about an improvement all
along the line. At II o'clock the mark;
was firm. The excitement in American sugar
abated after II q. M. but the stock naturally
continued fcverish in its course. The prize
rallied to 95I and then rcccdcd to 93I. Tie
most enthusiastic of the bulls are claiming
that the Wilson bill IS doomed aud they are
basing their operations on this theory.
