new 1OIkf Jan. l4.-SIOckS were QuH ana
strong throughout the day. The sales
were only 105,171 shares, the smallest total
! for a long time past Sugar, which was
| the most active stock, was traded in to
| the extent of 1900 shares. The early trad
/ ing was characterized by firmness, owing
| to moderate purchases of st. Paul and
| Louisville and Nashville for London ac-
I count. This buying led to an advance
| right through the list, the Industrials be-
! ing most prominent. Business, however,
was extremely light until the last half
| hour, when trading became more animat-
| eG, and especially in the Industrials. Su-
! gar was the feature and rose to 1885 1t
| was reported that the company had Sc
cured control of the Mclaughlin coffee
! roasting plant in Chicago. This rumor
more than offset the i'll effect of the appli-
cation just made for a receiver for the
| Woolsin Spice Company, of Toledo. Re
| ports that the Illinois legislature will pass
a consolidated bill, and the near approach
| of the dividend tone strengthened Chicago
| Gas and the stock rose to n. Manhattan
| advanced ~ per cent. to S9A on attempts
to cover short contracts. Tennessee Coal
and Iron was in demand on the election of
Messrs. Payne and McGhee to the direc-
torate. The bituminous coal shares con-
| tinued weak, Wheeling and Lake Erie
falling to "a, the preferred to H. and Hook
| ing Valley to 16. The decentralization of
the soft coal trade accounts for the de-
probation on the sureties of the companies.
The adjournment of the Senate until Mon
! day was taken advantage of by the bulls
| to bid up the market on the shorts, and
| this was the cause of the squirt at the
close. The poor railway returns for the
| first week of January, and the reports
from Washington of growing opposition in
| the Senate to the arbitration treaty, had
no influence. Speculation was strong in
tone. Net changes showing gain of 40
/ a hna fNaor
| and Lake Erie preferred lost per cent.
Bonds were strong. The total sales were
