New York. April 16.--The feature of spec
ulatiOn at the stock exchange to-day was
American Sugar. which sold up to l253s,
the best figure attained since the current
bull campaign. There were no new de-
velopments to account for the further rise
in the stock. Brokers credited with act
ing for inside interest were again heavy
buyers. The rise was stimulated by pur-
chases for the short account near the
close there were sales to realize profits
and a fall to l25ql251a took place. To-
bacco was less prominent and ranged from
6SdS9ss, closing at 6Sla. General Electric
was weak and fell off from S7Si to S63s.
The stock lacked support throughout, not
withstanding statements that the annual
report will show net earnings of SS7000O.
Chicago Gas was heavy and fell to 60.
The railway list developed greater strength
than of late, and better prices were re-
corded. London sold some St Paul, but
bought Louisville and Nashville. Local
commission houses were buyers of the
Changers, Louisville and Nashville and
the loW-priced issues. An important de-
velopment was the inquiry for railroad
and miscellaneous bonds, nearly g. 500,O0O
