weakest, selling down per cent to S412 on reports
that the company intended TO increase its capital
TO the extent of $4.000,000 bonds and similar
amounts of common and preferred stocks. Presi-
dent HOyt subsequently denied these reports. and
stated that the company held nearly S6,O0O.O0O
bonds in its treasury. The denial led to sharp
recovery, and in the late trading the stock recov-
cred to 1854. American sugar was under the ham
mer all day and dropped from ll01s to 10714,
