New York. July 9.-In the business at
the stock exchange to-day speculation
dragged along In listless manner until
late in the afternoon session, when the
bears ana professional operators pro-
ceeded to take advantage of the lack OF
interest manifested by those usually ar
rayed on the bun side IL explaining their
sales they argued that the proceedings
at Chicago to-day would probably lead to
a return Of securities recently bought for
foreign account and in the present con-
dition OF the foreign exchange market. Il
would not be difficult to bring about ex-
ports of gold. Sugar was the leading
card, dropping from 1l0H to 107M The
stock al the opening was strengthened
Tor time by an advance of Lice per
pound In certain grade Of refined but
the firmness was short hVed. Af.zr Sugar
