98. Speculation, firm.
New York, April 24.-Speculation at the
stock exchange was strong early in the
day and the trend of prices was upward.
owing mainly to the fact that quotations
from London came higher and that the st.
was unexpectedly favorable. There was
a brisk inquiry for local account for all
the leading shares as well as the specu-
latives Tobacco jumped 25s to 70. and the
remainder of the list improved anywhere
from Il to ] per cent. The Changers were
especially strong, and scored the high
est figures yet attained. In the afternoon
Tobacco reacted to 10A, but this had COM
paratively little influence. Even when
Sugar broke from 1858 to 1914 on heavy
sales, based on the passage Of the anti
trust bill by the legislature at Albany
speculation displayed little weakness. II
sugar had declined as much at any other
time within the past few weeks, the mar
ket would undoubtedly have suffered ma
terial losses. This afternoon the decline
was only AWlA and at the close there
was a slight rally. There was a slight
pressure TO sell outside OF the ranks of
the room traders and the market develop
ed great frmness under the circumstances
