New York, May 22.-The market at the
Stock Exchange was one of specialties
yesterday; Sugar, Tobacco and Manhat-
tan were the favOrites of the room trad
ers, who still control the limited specu-
lation. Sugar gained nearly points. NOV
ing up to 1926 on buying by brokers who,
it is said are acting in the Havemeyer in
terests The recent decline in refined. and
the passing of the new sugar bounty bill
by the Bundesrath, made a number of
bears on the stock and the short inter
est was quite large up to yesterday. The
rally then and the further advance to-
day rather alarmed the bears, who were
among the heaviest buyers in the closing
deals. Tobacco rose 2la per cent to 678+
and closed at the top figure. Some of the
buying was based on the report that a
settlement with western competitors was
not far off. The list started off weak on
lower cables and the withdrawal of 81
100000 gold from the sub-treasury for ex-
port The loss, however, was merely frac-
tional and in the afternoon session higher
prices were the rule. An impression pre-
walls that Mckinley, or those in charge
of his canvass have assured the bank
ing interests Of the east that he is in
favor OF the gold standard. This, with
statements by bankers that the exports
of the metal are likely to dwindle to
small proportions in the neas future. con-
tributed to the good feeling which pre-
vailed in the late dealing. The statement
Of the Northwest road for April. showing
an increase of 100000, strengthened the
Changers. Speculation left off strong, net
changes showing advances of hM2 per
cent, the latter in Manhattan Total
sales were 1884 shares. The bond mar
ket was higher to-day. The transactions
aggregated $SS2.OOO
