Sugar the Feature of the Stock Market
 Yesterday-R Reading the Next in Point,
 Activity-The General List Rather Weak
 New York, Sept. 23.-Sugar was the feature of the stock market to-day. It opened slightly lower at 1111a and soon dropped to 11O1a. The decline was fol- lowed by purchases to cover short con- tracts and rise to 1121s fololwed. Sub- sequently the selling of the stock was renewed and a return to 110h fol- lowed The cratic course of the stock naturally caused a good deal of com ment. One story was that the insiders had parted with their speculative hold late in the day and which induced some selling was to the effect that the Mollenhauerr refinery of Brooklyn would increase its capital to twenty millions The significance of this statement lies in the fact that the Mollenhauer com pahy is outside of, the trust.
 Reading was nextdn point of activity and sold up to @19fs the best figure for a long time past The bonds of the company were also in request and
 scored material gaiAs The securities of the company were influenced by the completion of the foreclosure proceed ings at Philadelphia to-day.
 The general list ruled rather weak after the opening, on account of the heaviness of Sugar and a belief that the Bank of England will advance it's
 rate of discount. 4 report was also afloat that the bank intended to put up it's price for bar gold and American
 eagles This, it was argued would
 check the flow of gold this way New ertheless the sum of sl 500, 900 additional
 gold was withdrawn from the bank to-
 day for export bringing the total en- gagged, on the way and delivered since August 2S last, up to nearly forty-one millions 1.-The downward movement in | stocks did not last long, and by 2 | o'clock the early losses were not only | recovered, but in a number of instances 1 the highest figures of the day were | reached. At the top notch the leading | issues showed advances of A0D2 per | cent. Near the close, when Sugar de- l veloped renewde weakness, the entire
 market sympathized and a recession of | A@1A per cent. ensued. Speculation
 closed barely steady. Net changes either way were confined to fractions
