SUGAR ONLY WAS WEAK.
Otherwise, in Spite of War Rumors,
Stocks Were Firm.

StCehS w ere Irm.
New York, June 23-The sensational
rumors current yesterday about complca-
tions with Spain because of the attitude Of
the United States in the Cuban matter,
failed to materialize today, aud operators
who were influenced to extend their short
,, lines on these stories, started in to get back
their stocks right at the opening of busi-
ness. They found the supply of stocks
limited, and they also met with keen Com
petition from London. Foreign houses
bought st Paul aud Louisville and Nash
vile in fairly large amounts, and this is
the best evidence possible that London, at
least. is paying but little attention to the
reports of friction between the United
States and certain of the European powers.
The outlook for an amicable settlement of
the Venezuelan dispute has improved and
this stimulated the rise.
The advance in prices ranged from 1-8 to
1 per cent. Burlington and Quincy rose
5-8 to - 3-4. Rock Island 1-2 to 50 IL, st.
