Wool Sales

New York. March 7.-Sugar saved the mar
ket from extreme stagnation today, and at the
same time gave evidence OF its ability to fur
nish the street with mild sensation without
notice During the past few days the dividend
question was q cause OF the street renewing
the purchasing movement and the stock moved
upward, closing at 94i4, the highest price OF
the day. and 3ss above yesterdays close. The
transactions in the stock aggregated $4,000
shares, which is the largest total for day this
year.
The general market was dull and without
special feature. At the opening prices were
small fraction higher with bnt few exceptions,
and in the early trading gains OF 1sC9i per cent
were recorded, the latter ill Great Northern
preferred. Shortly after IL o'clock reaction
set in, followed by a rally and another recess
sion before long, however, and the changes
were very narrow During the hour following
midday speculation was intensely dull but
subsequently, under the influence OF the
movement in Sugar, the market became strong
New Jersey Central sold up t, $685.. an advance
of ia from the low point OF the day, the other
gains being merely fractional In the last hour
speculation was irregular, but the market
closed fairly steady at an advance OF lsCg2 per
cent on the day.
The movement in bonds was extremely mar
row and without material change. Sales,

The Days Transactions on the Chicago Board
of Trade
Chicago, March 1.-The course of the wheat
market except during the first twenty min
utes. when it advanced a little, was largely a
matter OF cold.blooded slugging by some heavy
bear operators. May started weak with sellers
and trading at 53s49537s, and worked up to
54ls954I<. Following that it dropped to 53la
535s. The Cincinnati Price Current was very
bullish in its remarks. and he French country
markets, as reported officially, were the equiv
alent OF 1905 francs higher. Wheat sold at
53la about the IN ddle OF the session. New
York wired that scme buying in cash wheat on
an order from Paris had caused a strong clos
ing in that market The market wound up at
$3.50 for May
The fluctuations In cora were OF the lightest
and the trade Of the smallest proportions usu-
ally seen in the days of midsummer. May sold
from 445s TO 44S. closing at 445l.
Oats we're almost lifeless, with but 1Ic range
for the day. May opened at 1899 and closed
at 29c.
The provision market WAS the liveliest on
the floor. Manipulation frightened the dealers
and caused vigorous trading. There was some
selling, hut after a slight reaction the market
wound up firm. May pork closed 2211c, May
lard nc and MAY ribs i7Isc higher.
The leading futures closed AS f)I oys.

A Philadelphia fire, which did damage
amounting to between @360,OOO and

Bailey as q paper.box mandatory, and
before the flames had been got under
