NEW YORK n. Y, June 24.-American Sugar
was traded in to the extent of nearly 100000
shares to-day and the fluctuations in this speciality
completely Oversh allowed operations in the rail-
way and miscellaneous list. The stock opened
slightly lower, but soon advanced to 1864 on
purchases TO cover short contracts, but break to
1I31@ quickly followed. Stock held slender
margins was thrown overheard, and for time the
market, so far as Sugar was concerned, was de-
morallzed. No new reasons were given for the
break and, fact. none were needed. The street
has settled down to the opinion that the turn on
the long side Of this specially has been carried
through successfully, and that in the immediate
future. least the stock will lack the support of
influential parties.
The break led TO buying for turn and rally to
1l46ll53s followed. Tobacco and General Elec-
trio were weak for time, the former on state
ments that the directors had decided TO postpone
acion on the dividend. Inc reports that num-
Der of important orders recently placed with the
General Electric Company had.been Cancelled re-
ceived little credit The railway list cut away
from the industrials and in the late trading
decidedly strong. In the last hour the traders
who are still in CONTROL began TO cover and a
result the best prices of the day were reached in
the cases of the grangers and the internationals.
