London prices came in about steady
and our market opened some what irregu-

Sugar rallied and remained steady for the
rest of the dealings between 1924 and
1O3. For the balance OF the list the only
features were sharp upward
movement in L. G. & l., and later in

coal shares were not visibly affected.
The closing was irregular, with gains
for N. Y. & N. E., Union Pacific, and
Tennessee Coal d Iron, ana losses for
Sugar and New Jersey Central.
