New York, Dec. 9-Although specuIa-
! ton at the Stock Exchange, with the sole
| exception of Sugar, was again tame to-
day. the movements in the market were
not wholly devoid of interest There were
! spells of weakness, owing mainly to the
| Introduction of resolutions in congress.
| with a view of recognizing cuban indie
| pendence. The traders, on the strength
Of the news from Washington, sold stocks
at intervals, but they made very little
| Impression on prices, the tendency of
which, in the MAN, was upward. The
| decisive movement of the day occurred
| shortly after 1 o'clock, when Sugar was
| suddenly taken in hand and advanced
! from lisa to ll73s, the covering of short
! contracts contributing largely to the rise
! The bears in other parts of the list then
| attempted to close their contracts, and
| an advance of "a per cent. to 11S from the
| lowest was recorded in the Changers,
Reading, Western Union and Chicago Gas.
| The last named was weak early in the
| day, and sold off a point. General Elec-
| trio was noticeably strong throughout.
! 1t sold up to 33s and closed at 1884,, a net
| gain of rs per cent. Prominent houses
| were buyers of this stock, on statements
| that the company will be awarded the
| contract to equip several lines of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
with the underground trolley system.
| Consolidated Gas broke 315 per cent to
| 155ls on the action of the local board of
aldermen yesterday, who granted fran
| chise to the Consumers Fuel, Gas, Heat
and Power Company. 1t is also feared
! that efforts will be made at Albany this
! of gas. Bay State Gas jumped ~ to 70,
! and reacted to l112. Hooking Valley rose
from 17la to 1912. and closed at 1915. The
report is revived that the company has
| effected important new traffic arrange
ments with connecting lines, and that its
managers have been promised a consid-
cradle amount of business from the Van
| derbilt system. Speculation closed dull
and firm. Net changes show advances OF
| u to * per cent, Sugar leading. Chicago
| Gas was an exception and closed 1kc
| lower on the day. Total sales were lat, 1875
shares, of which 1900 was Sugar. Bonds
were higher to-day. Sales footed up
| 81, 100000.
