New York Markets.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The share speculation to-
day was in the main irregular and unsettled, and
it was not until after delivery hour that the spec
ulatIon developed any real strength. There was
. sharp advance in the final trading but the gains
were not sufficiently large To wipe out the earlier
losses.
Dealings were chiefly in Sugar and Chicago Gas,
the combined sales OF which were greater than
those of all the Of the list st. Paul and Rock
Island were the only other stocks in which trans.
actions exceeded 5000 shares The covering OF
short contracts in Chicago Gas WAS continued,
sending the stock up rs TO 78. After IL O'Clock
Sugar which had advanced ", was hammered by
the bears and broke 1913 Go 1914.
he general list also gave way fraction, but
steadied somewhat at noon, mainly by reason OF
the absence OF any selling pressure. The Cordage
shares were sold down 1s for the common stock,
ga for the preferred and for the guaranteed.
Hooking Valley common advanced 1875 to i77s
ana the preferred IS to 80. The improvement III
the shares was due to purchases induced by the
favorable decision of the company's suit against
Judge Burke and others to recover the proceeds
OF the 50, 600, 600 of bonds which it is claimed
were diverted to the use of the directors.
The active list eased on fra ctionally until about
