New York, Aug. 31.-Today's stock
market was characterized by great If
regularity. prices of a good many
stocks remaining remarkably stable
even on a large transaction. while the
price movements of others were wild
and erratic to the last degree and quite
independent Of any general influence
or harmony of tendency with others.
Sugar was the sensational feature
and covered a range of nearly eight
points during the day. There was no
news regarding the stock received
during the daV that was taken at the
opening Of the market, but the specu
latiVe traders drew some deduction
from the facts already known that led
to very excited trading in the stock.
The speculation turned on the probable
benefits to the industry from the treas
ury departments Interpretation of the
clause of the tariff bill discriminating
against sugar from countries that pay
an export bounty. The belief that this
clause would be administered SO as to
insure the exclusion from competition
of Dutch refined sugars, gave Sugar
stock it's strength today. The stock
logged along very comfortably on the
UP grade to noon. covering about q

A Unique woman's Club.

One of the most novel women's clubs
in the country is the Old Ladies' Home
club of Brooklyn, which isn't, as one
might suppose, made up aged DANES,
but, on the contrary, of young women.
1t started with a suggestion made by
a newspaper woman. Being troubled
at times with visions of what should
befall her when she reached the newt
able time when her scribbling would
prove insufficient both as regards sup
ply and demand to meet the necessities
of life. she evolved the idea of saving
a few hundred dollars, which would Sc
cure her reception, when the dreaded
time would come. in an old ladies'
home. She communicated her scheme
to friend Of hers and soon 1t was no
longer hers. 1t appealed to a number
of young women, who forthwith form
ed themselves into a club with the ul-
innate design of reaching the old
ladies' home together, and incidentally
of getting as much out of life as they
may by the wayside.
