good influence on stocks. Subse

news still controls speculation in this
stock. Apparently somebody stands
ready to take the shares In the neigh

for the recent purchases is that the

The buying of Sugar finally led to the
purchase OF the railway list and q gen.

for this was that their sales yesterday
did not have the effect on London that
they expected. Around o'clock Cor

due to the execution of stop orders.
