New York, Aug. 20-The movement in
the stock market to-day was more inter-
esting than of late Tobacco. which has
been under the hammer recently, showed
| considerable recuperative ability and the
stock rallied from 80 to 96b the recent
heavy sellers having but largest pur-
chases. 1t was intimated that the COM
| pany was to retire from the plug tobacco
| business, but the rumor could not be
confirmed. drive was made at Sugar
shortly after the opening, and the stock

dividend; st. raul to "; Northwest to
10214; Eastern Illinois preferred to l03s4,
and Omaha to ass. The largest buyers
| of these stocks were firms usually en-
| ployed by insiders. Nearly So. 900 gold
was taken from the subtreasury for ex-
port to Europe tomorrow. The bulk
of the gold to be shipped is in payment
for a batch of new government per
cents. sold abroad in February. 1t is I'M
derstood that Saturdays European
steamers will also take out a large
amount of the metal for the
same account. The depletion
of the gold reserve, however,
had no influence as the street is con-
