NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 2.-The bulls at the
Stock Exchange had their innings to-day and they
meted out severe punishment TO their opponents
in the Industrias. Prices for these bounded up
anywhere from TO 33ls per cent, and the transac-
tions were a heavy scale. Sugar figured for ST.
100 shares and sold at 101s4@105. Chicago Gas
brought 63s4 @651a on dealings of 24,900 shares.
Tobacco was traded in to the extent OF 22,700 and
ranged between Sl1a@S31s, while 1900 shares
Of Leather preferred were dealt in at 631s9651s.
Sugar was the first stock to move, rumor having
been circulated that extra dividend will shortly
he declared by the managers.
It was also current gossip that Congress will not
take up trust matters at this session. In usually
well informed circles little importance was at
tached to the extra-dividend story. Some large
buying orders were expected by firms who gem
orally figure in big movements in the stock. The
rise in Chicago Gas was due TO the covering of
heavy line Of shorts by a well-known plunSer.
Nothing positive developed about the Pitt-Barrow
Injunction case up TO the close Of business. The
railway list was quiet but firm throughout.
Traders disposed TO take hopeful view OF
the Washington situation and were buyers OF
stocks of properties which are showing up well in
the way of earnings During the early session the
market favorably Influenced by higher prices
for British consos and Paris rentes and the ab-
sance OF talk about gold exports. The activity in
the Colorado mining fields and the repor ed ad-
vance in the rates for carrying ore stimulated buy
ing OF Denver and Rio Grande preferred, and the
stock rose to 1855 from Abs.
Burlington and Quincy was exceptionally weak
and dealings of 1920 shares broke nearly
points, S3GS3Ss The selling is still baseo on the
