NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, n. Y. May 2.-The only feature
at the Stock Exchange to-day the break in
American Tobacco. The stock fell from 90 TO
6612, rallied to 6Ss. and closed at 677s loss OF
IA per cent for the day. Sugar on the other hand
displayed better strength, and on buying by brok-
ers who have been arrayed the bull side for
months rose to 125@l233l. The greatest advance,
however. was made oy Bay State Gas. This stock
moved mp rapidly from 30 to 26 on purchases of
less than 1000 shares. The general list opened
Tobacco. Near the close when Sugar advanced
the whole market improved and left OF firm. The
variations in prices. however, call for no special
comment Net changes for the day show gains OF
Hs(g1 per cent. Total sales were only $4,000
