hammer recently, showed considerable recupera-
tive ability and the stock rallied from 80 TO 9612
the recent heavy sellers having been the largest
purchasers. 1t is intimated that the company in
tend TO retire from the plug tobacco business. but
The rumor could not be confirmed. A drive was
made AT Sugar shortly after the opening, and the
stock broke PIG to no. No valid reason could be
obtained for the break in the stock, and it was
SUSPECTED that the movement engineered for
tire purpose of facilitating covering OF shorts in
tobacco.
These movements were followed by sharp up
ward turn in the anthracite coalers and Jersey Cen
tra PA TO l0S, while the other stocks in this
group improved anywhere from IS o "a per cent.

from the sub-treasury for export to Europe to-
morrow. The bulk of the gold 10 be shipped is in
payment for batch of new Government per
cents sold abroad in February.
1t is understood that Saturdays European
steamer will also take out a large amount of the
metal for the same account. Depletion of the gold
reserve however, had influence, as the Street is
convinced that the BelmOnt-Morgan syndicate is
able TO keep the reserve at the hundred million
mark. a fresh illustration of the syndicate's
power was witnessed lust before 8 O'Clock today
when J. 2. Morgan deposited about TWO millions
