New York Feb. 1S-Speculation at the
| stock exchange was in the main strong
! to-day At intervals, however, the mar
! ket reflected the recent heavy liquidations
! and more especially in the case OF sugar,
which Jagged throughout. The opening
was strong, London having turned up as
n buyer Of ST. Paul and Louisville and
Nashville, the recent lavorabie trail!c re-
| lated foreign purchases The main rae
tors at work, however, were nrst, the
| general belief that matters are so shap-
| mo themselves that an early and amicabe
| settlement of the Venezuelan question is
! likely, and, second. the heavy receipts of
g0Id at the sub-trea surY. which is stead
| Nv bringing the gold reserve up to the
| traditionaI 500. 900, 600 mark. Rumors from
westminster t tbe bond Bill viii be defeae
Nv a big majority in the House tomorrow
! Contributed to the good feeling. Minor
S9ere the refusal of Attorney General Han
| cock of New York to bring an action
against the Central trust company IN the
matter Of the reorganization of the COM
nany. and the splendid exhibit of the
| a AMERICAN Tobacco Company for the year.
Tobacco was the special oo feature; and
| there was a drop to SOA, and a recovery TO
S2X. Chicago Gas opened rs higher at
| eel4 on the Hancock decision, and then
rose to $50 on covering of shorts ana
buying for the long account. Sugar clos
ed i1s higher, at 1l29s, after selling, az
! S11sl M112s[ The advance in refined HAD
but little influence and the stock was
| less active than of late. General Electric
MAS stronger and rose to 321s on the re-
norris that the Metropolitan Traction had
| adopted the company's underground troll
| lev system. In the railway group Louis
| vile md Nashville, the Changers, Manhat-
| tan. Reading, Jersey Central, Big -Four
| and Kansas and Texas preferred were
| most prominent The rise in the rail-
| way list ranged from y to 32s per cent.
| AT one time Missouri Pacific broke from
