New York, Dec 22.-After a weak OPEN
ing and 1 fractional decline in prices,
stocks improved on covering of short con-
tracts. The advance outside of Sugar,
which moved up about a point, was insig-

idends by the Lake Shore, Michigan Cen
trai and New York Central failed to eX-
err any influence. The reduction OF The
dividend on the Delaware and Hudson
started selling movement which gather
ed force as the day advanced The bank
ialiures At the west also had disturb
ing effect and tmid holders cut down their
lines. The suspension of the bank of Min
nesota, The Oldest bank in St. Paul, an

lowed by the failure of state bank of ST.

south st. Paul. The fact that the last
two Institutions had been compelled to
