New York, Feb. S.-StOcks were unset
tied and irregular at the opening, the
street being disappointed at the small
amount Of bonds secured by the Morgan
syndicate. This induced some Of the
bulls, whose holdings showed them peOfit
TO realize and in consequence the market
pearance for a time. The offerings were
well taken, however, and shortly after II
O'Clock the selling abated and the market
presented a stronger front than at any
other time Of the week. Sugar was the
great feature of speculation. The stock
opened y per cent lower, at 1llia, jumped
to 1l3ls, and receded to 113. The early
break in the stock was considered a scoop,
as the same brokers who have been pronai-
nent ever since the present upward move
ment started in were big buyers at the de-
cline. Tobacco dropped to 75ia bounded
up 70 Y, and receded to 76ss. Chicago Gas
and Distillers were firm. Gas was not af-
fected by, the Moloney opinion, and Dis
filling and Cattle Feeding moved up about
point on reports of good earnings.
Leather preferred, on the other hand was
inclined to weakness, and sold down to
opening, developed great strength and any
number OF active issues touched the best
figures Of the week. The grangers were
especially prominent in the dealings at the
higher range. The buying of these stocks
was due TO the magnificent statement of
the Northwest for the calendar year 1895,
which shows surplus, after all charges
and fun dividends on the preferred, and
4 per cent. on the common, Of nearly 81
OOO,OOO The gain in the railway group
ranged from Y to "a per cent, and was
most marked in the Changers Manhattan
Louisville and Nashville, the lower priced
issues and Western Union. In the spec
ialues Consolidated Gas rose TO 159; Pull
man Palace Car, IL to 1908, and Oregon
Short Line 1ls to So. Speculation closed
strong at about the highest figures day
and week Bonds were active and strong.

shares. and Of unlisted, 43,7l4 shares.
