NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb 5.-Business at the
Stock Exchange was virtually crowded into the
last hour of trading, and during this time commits
sion houses had no reason to complain of a lack OF
orders. Early in the day brokers and operators
were waiting to hear from Washington in the mat
ter OF the bond issue. The success of the loan was
generally admitted weeks ago, but the amount of
the bids-nearly $500, 1000, O00-simply astonished
the street. The price, too great deal betI er
than expected, the average being above 10. The
syndicate bid, it Will be remembered, was under
1uo. The magnitude of the bids and the prices
tendered led to general buying of the market and
prices moved up anywhere from ~ to 21a per cent.
Sugar was feature, and after falling from
1854 TO 1O7Ss, rose 10 lOs7s. The early gain
was the result OF the passing OF the sugar bounty
oy tne buhdesratn. In the last hour the shorts
Were the most conspicuous buyers. Leather pre-
ferred moved up from "a rs 10 673s on reports
from Boston that the money for the February
olVldend was in the bank. The Western stock g..
such as ST. Paul, Rock Island and Burlington and
Quincy were in better demand the splendid
showing OF earnings recently published. Specula-
lion closed strong, with an advancing tendency.
The total sales were 100000 shares.
