New York. Dec. 1.-The bulls at the stock
exchange had their innings steady. and
they meted out severe punishment to their
opponents in the 1ndustrials. Prices for
these fancies bounded up anywhere from
to 3 per cent, and the transactions were
on heavy scale. Sugar figured for S1.c)0
shares, and sold at 1913 G105, Chicago Gas
brought 6294G65l2, on dealings of 24900
tent of 22700 and ranged between Sl1zd
S3B, While 1900 shares of Leather pre-
ferred were dealt in at 63ikQ65b Sugar
was the first stock to move, rumor having
been circulated that an extra dividend will
shortly be declared by the managers. 1t
was also current gossip that congress will
not take up trust matters at this session.
In usually well informed circles, little inn
portance was attached to the extra divi-
dend story. Some large buying orders
were executed by firms who generally fig
ure in big movements in the stock. The
rise in Chicago Gas was due to the cover
ing of heavy line of shorts by a well
known plunger. Nothing positive devel-
oped about the Pitt-Barrow injunction
case up to the close of business. The
Railroad list was quiet but firm through
out. Traders were disposed to take a
hopeful view of the Washington situa-
ton, and were buyers of stocks of proper
ties which are showing up well in the way
OF earnings. during the early session they
were favorably Influenced by higher prices
for British consols and Paris rentes, and
the absence of talk about gold exports.
The activity in the Colorado mining fields
and the reported advance in the rates for
carrying ore, stimulated buying of Den
yer and Rio Grande preferred, and the
STOCK rose TO 1875 from 4l4s Burlington and
Quincy was exceptionally weak, and on
dealings OF 1922 shares, broke nearly 2
points, to S3Q839s. The selling is still
based on the unfavorable October state
ment. The closing trading was charac-
terized by firmness, and some of the Indus
trials sold at or near the best figures of the
preferred rose Az to 1914 and New York,
Lackawanna and Western, 134 to 119. Net
changes show gains of A03& per cent.
Union Pacific lost IS and Burlington and
The sales footed UP $4,000.
