There Was Not Great Deal of Strength to
Yesterdays Stock Market.

There Was Not Great Deal of Strength to
Yesterdays Stock Market.
New York, Feb. 5-The early deal
ings at the stock exchange to-day were
characterized by weakness, owing
mainly to moderate sales for London
account and the Investigations now in
progress in various states into the af-
fairs of the trusts.
Sugar was the particularly weak
spot, and there was a sharp pressure
to sell the stock at the opening on the
announcement that officials identified
with the company had incorporated q
coffee company in Trenton, N j., with
capital of 100000, to fight the Ar
buckle Brothers. This was accepted
as meaning a sharp conflict between
those at the head of the sugar and cof-
fee trades and further reductions in
the prices of both articles. Sugar open
ed a point lower, at 13& @1131a, and
later sold down to 1875.
The general market yielded Il to 1
per cent, the grangers, Manhattan and
Chicago Gas leading the downward
movement. Advices from London that
the market there was unsettled in con-
sequence of rumors of South African
complications, and the illness of the
