New York, Aug. 19.-American Tobacco
was the sensation at the stock exchange
to-day, the stock figuring 1872, 1881 shares In
a grand total of 300,673 shares. Sugar,
which was the next in point of activity.
was traded in to the extent of AZ, 700
shares, while Chicago Gas and Rock ISL
and figured for 1900 and II, 200 shares re-

new government bonds in the local mar
ket for foreign account stated that the
amount of gold required by them in liquid
