THURSDAY, Sept. 90.
To-day's stock market was a comparatively
commonplace affair. Tho dealings were in OK.
cess of half a million shares, but that circum-
stance can no longer be regarded as remarka-
BILE. since the daily average for some time
past has been above that figure. At tho
start and during tho greater part of
the day the market was strong. Tho ad-
vance in tho Bank Of England rate Of dis
count had no effect upon the market for securi.
ties. either here or abroad. The speculation
was also unaffected by the announcement that
81. 100000 will be shipped to this country from
Paris next Saturday, making s.. 800 900 vir-
tually in transit. Tho principal drawers Of
foreign exchange are unable to understand how
these transactions are made without loss, but
the consignees Of the specie, two OF the larger
national banks, assert that the gold is coming to
Thorn in the ordinary course OF business. and
that they sustain no losses on the transactions.
This being the case. 1t must be inferred that a
special arrangement exists between tho two
banks referred to and tho Deutsche Bank of
Berlin, or that some transactions In securities
or an extension OF credits give tho three institu.
lions named an advantage over other drawers
Of exchange. a.,
The feature Of the market was Sugar Refn.
ing, which enjoyed a maximum advance of
nearly 4 points, because of the order Of the
Treasury Department instructing customs col
lectors to levy countorvailing duties upon re-
fined sugars imported from France, Austria, and
Argentina, and indications that the depart
ment VIII make a similar ruling regarding
sugars imported from the Netherlands. 1t
is estimated in tho trade that these
rulings will prevent the importation of
about $4,000 tons of refined sugars per annum.
which is equal TO the output OF q refinery with
the capacity of 1900 barrels a day. The ad.
vance in Sugar Refining appeared TO invite
realizing sales to an extent that left the stock
fractionally lower than yesterday. The decline
in 1t of nearly 5 points from the highest price
and reports OF fresh ou, breaks Of yellow fever
In the South were generally regarded as
explaining the reactionary tendency Of tho
market in the last half hour OF business.
AS a matter Of fact, some of the stocks bought
at the decline on Tuesday were sold on tho early
advance to-day. Among the circumstances az
fecting the speculation were reports that the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Company will
report an increase in gross earnings for August,
us compared with the same month Of last year.

The certainty OF increased earnings resulted in
higher prices for the Northern Pacific stocks. and
also for Reading issues. Union Pacific was
exceptionally strong at an advance OF nearly A
point; Although definite information is unob-
tainable 1t Is currently reported that the Attor-
ney.Gen' raj has decided not 10 Insist upon a
modification of the DEGREES OF foreclosure OF
tho Union and Kansas Pacific mortgages oh.
tanned by the reorganization committee. In
spite OF the reaction in the final dealings tho
majority OF the list closed fractionally higher
tlan Yesterday. and nome nf the mat Ia,i..-.
was important.
