NEW YORK MARKETS.
Financial.

NEW YORK, n. Y. Dec, 3.-Speculative inter-
est centered chiefly in the industrals again to-day,
and of these Sugar was the overshadowing feature.
The stock opened at 1O512@1O6, $500 shares
changing hands. After this the price bounded up
TO 1865, but the advance brought out an avalanche
OF long stock and the shares broke per cent to
lO25s and closed at 103, or per cent below yes
terday's final sale. The transactions were on n
tremendous scale, footing up 153,300 shares in q
grand total OF 10000 shares for the entire list.
The early squirt was due 10 special advices from
Washington to the effect that the President would
not touch upon the trust in his message This
caused perfect rush to cover short contracts,
brokers of noted plunger being the heaviest buy
ers. The rise brought out round amounts OF long
STOCK which encouraged the bears to fresh efforts in
this and other industrials, Tobacco and Leather
preferred and Chicago Gas all opening hrmer, but
later on Tobacco tumbled from SPA to SOM and
ended at S014; Chicago Gas moved I'D to 65 y and
fell 10 6414CG645s Trading in the last named was
smaller than for some time past, owing 10 the
uncertainty as to the outcome Of the Barrow in
junction case now being argued in Chicago.
The railway list quiet but firm, the highest
prices being made after the publication OF the
Presidents message This paper was well received
in banking and stock circles, especially the recon-
mendation to the retirement of the greenbacks
the issuance of short-term MISUNDERSTANDING
boEds in times of emergency. The gain in prices
at this time was equal TO " q per cent Delaware
and Hudson leading. The efforts making to
advance coal freight rates to the West helped
this stock. Pacific Mail rose from 3Oas TO
323s on the announcement that an agreement
with the Panama Railroad will probably be signed
this week. The Improvement in the financial sit
uation abroad, and the fact that no gold has been
engaged for export 10 Europe as yet had a stimu-
lating effect on the general market. Near the
close Sugar of to 1U25s and this weakened the
remainder OF the industrial group. Considering
the severity of the attack ugarthe railway list
held remarkably well. The closing OF the market
irregular in tone. Net changes show I'D
vances OF 1sll5s per cent. Pacific Mall gained "a
per cent, while the industrals lost A@214.
