Despite efforts by the trading element at re-
action to-day, the stock market ruled strong
throughout. with final changes at net gains In

account and were considerably smaller in vol

spite the deadlock over the sugar schedule in the

caly strong features were Atchison preferred.
Metropolitan Traction. Pttsburg. Cincinnati
Chicago and st. Louis preferred. Rensselaer, ana
Saratoga, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred
and Brooklyn Union Gas. The anthracite shares
were irregular. despite a report by news ou-
reau that Morgan interests had secured con-
