matter. The fact that the foreign mar
kets for American securities are undis-
turbed by the action OF the House un-
dOubtedly has a good effect. Still another
factor IN the days speculation was the
reduction In the rates OF sterling eX-
change, which prevented gold shipments
by to-morrows steamers, and render ex-
ports of the yellow metal improbable for
at least some days to come. The bears
attempted to check the upward move
ment in prices by attacking American
Tobacco and one or two other spectalties
which happened to be without effective
support. Tobacco was sold down from
SiA to S23s, and closed at a merely frac-
tional recovery. Despite the selling OF
Tobacco, the general market continued
strong in the late trading. Manhattan
scored the greatest rise, selling up from
l09 to 11lls on the movement by the city
authorities to accord the company in
creased facilities to extend its lines. The
stock left off at 110lz. Sugar was con-
spicuously strong throughout and rose
to 119 TO 11824 on purchases by houses
identified with officials of the trust. The
Changers, Chicago Cas- General Electric,
Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee Coal
and Iron advanced AGl1 per cent. But
there was nothing in the remainder of
the list calling for special comment: Spec
ulation closed firm in tone. Net changes
