THURSDAY. Nov. II.
Tho stock market was comparatively steady
during tho first half Of tho day, in fact, the mar
ket for some stocks was strong. But It soon
became apparent that substantial interests
are not yet ready to advance prices. though
they have doubtless been accommodating
stocks. and there was. for some time past,
an absence of support from beyond tho limits
Of Wall street. These circumstances in
duced tho professional element to throw
over some of the stocks recently purchased.
and, as the market yielded under their offer
ings. tho advocates of lower prices resumed
their attack upon values. Tho result was .
heavy market, particularly during tho last hour
or two Of business. There was absolutely no
news of Importance. hence the net result of the
days trading must DO attributed entirely to
speculative conditions and to professional ma
nipulation.
Sugar Refining proved to DO tho most vulner-
able stock on the list, sustaining Q net loss of
nearly four points. Tho demonstration against it
was ostensibly due to the delay Of the Treasury
Department in deciding whether countervail-
ing duties shall DO imposed upon sugars i'm
ported from the Netherlands. The fact that
tho Secretary Of the Treasury has extended
tho time within which evidence upon
that subject will DO received was natur-
ally construed as indicating that tho depart
mont 10 still In doubt as to the CO rse II should
pursue. An incident of the day was trading for
the first time In the stock Of tho Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company of Chicago, which
takes the place of Chicago Gas Trust receipts,
which have boon stricken from the list The
closing was weak at about tho lowest prices.
Final sales compare with those of Yesterday as
