TUESDAY. March 10.
Nearly one-haif Of the transactions in stocks
to-day were In American Tobacco. and they
were not really rs large as the figures indicate.
the par value of the shares being $50. To place
the dealings in Tobacco In their proper propor-
ton to the remainder of the list the transa ctions
reported In 1t should be divided by two. The
manipulation in 1t was even more pronounced
than yesterday. and also more effective SO far as
the final effect upon the price Is concerned. In
the early dealings 1t sold at decline of nearly
point from the final price yesterday. namely. at
72. From that point n gradual advance took
place until the last hour. when the price was
advanced rapidly to 7hls. At a reaction to 74a4
the stock closed nearly points higher than
yesterday The movement was not accom-
panied by any news or reports affecting the real
or market value OF the security. hence mis-
take can DE made In attributing it entirely to
operations for account OF so-caled in sidcrs.
In only two other stocks did the transactions
exceed even approximate 10000 shares.
They were General Electric and United States
Leather preferred. Efforts to depress the last
named were apparent, and were successful to the
extent OF lowering the price lss u cent. The
fluctuations in General Electric were narrow,
and the fnal price was the same as that re-
corded yesterday. Outside of the three stocks
mentioned the market was exceedingly duh.
and the course of prices was Irregular. The
American Cotton Oil stocks. particularly the
preferred, rallied sharply. and noteworthy net
advances were scored by Laclede Gas and Dem
yer and Rio Grande ureferrcd. On covering of
shorts baltimore and Ohio rallied to ls. but re-
acted nearly point In the late dealings.
Throughout the remainder of the list the net
fluctuations were unimportant and favored
both accounts
The resumption in the Senate OF the debate
upon the Cuban resolutions appeared To have
little or no effect upon the exceedingly limited
speculation on the stock Exchange. II is pos
sible, however. that a further slight advance in
the foreign exchange market tended TO check
speculative ventures. Fortunately the rise in ex-
