New York, Dec. 10.-Business at the
stock exchange was quiet, the transactions
| footing up only 116,4n shares, including
%, 900 Sugar, 100 ST. Paul. During the
! early trading the market was strong, Lon
don advices were favorable, and at the
! start the foreigners bought moderate
amounts of st. Paul and Reading. The
! advance in prices while general, was con-
