| New York, Oct, 27.-After rather irreg-
ular opening the stock market resumed
its upward course, and for a time the deal
| ings were characterized by bouyancy
The teVerishness at the start was the re-
suit of London selling and higher rates
for money. The losses in stocks at this
time were insignificant, and before II
O'Clock, the entire list displayed renewed
strength. Sugar was the great feature
! and on enormous dealings0 moved up to
| within a fraction of 116. Covering Of
short contracts was the main factor at
work in this stock, although there was
some buying for the account of lower Wall
street interests The market had a seri-
| Gus setback around midday, when a
rumor from Washington was put afioat
to the effect that Gen. Fits Hugh Lee had
| sent in his report on Cuban affairs, it was
stated he has taken a stand against Spain,
and the President would call an extra ses-
sion of congress to act on the matter
| Money worked up to u per cent, and

| cent, Reading IL to 25A Burlington and

| preferred, ia to 615s Western Union, rs
to S41s, and the remainder A01 per cent
| Upon investigation, it was found that
there was no foundation for the stories
of new complications with Spain, and
early sellers started in to cover, and
stocks recovered part of the decline. The
decline in the money rate to 6 per cent,
also had a good effect Near the close
| timid holders began to sell. In the
final dealings speculation was barely
steady. Net changes show losses of 40
| rs per cent, the latter in Chicago Gas.
In express stocks, United States jumped
5 per cent. to 40 on the declaration of the
semi-annual dividend reported yesterday.
Total sales were 800 shares. Bonds
