stocks Again on the Up Grade Yesterday
 Sugar, Coalers and Graneers Did Well.
 New York, July 31-The healthy dis
 position of the security market to-day,
 evinced by notable and widely distrib-
 uted advances, especially in the coal
 CTS, industrlals and gilt edged invest
 Inent stocks. was due to various fa-
 vorable influences of general effect. The coalers easily responded with a ! rise extending to 2 per cent, to the
 Lehigh Valley election of officers and
 directors known to be acceptable to the
 controlling interests in other anthracite
 properties and to the harmony In oper-
 ation expected to result. The Judicial | Interruption of the proposed inquiry into the anthracite trade under the
 antitrust law enacted by the last New
 York legislature not only had a good ef-
 feet on the coalers but strengthened the
 Whole industrial group. To-day Wash
 lngton runlors continued favorable to
 the refining interst and to the effect that compromise sugar schedule
 pleasing to the company would likely
 be agreed upon by the conference. The
 result was that Sugar scored another
 high record price, touching 137B, or
 nearly points above yesterdays close
 and over 3 points above the loftiest price previously. which was 134%. The suspension of a house supposed to have
 been hurt in carrying a large amount for an operator on the wrong side of rising market only temporarily depress- ed Sugar. It is now supposed that yes- terday's sharp jump in Sugar was part ly due to knowledge of this operators position. The announcement of the failure caused reaction in the market which carried prices generally frac- ton below last nights close. The f1uc- tuations in Sugar were most cratic and wide, attended by heavy covering or shorts. Hesitation ensued and then | there was increased activity and | strength. The transactions in the stock 1 comprised a fourth of the total trans- 1 actions in all stocks over 79,000 shares l being sold After fnomentary decline I at the opening, the stck sold up 2M above yesterdays close, reacted aH and | then partly recovered. closing at a point advance over yesterday. Chicago Gas ruled strong on favorable Chicago dis- patches Good crop and weather ad- vices bettered the grangers a sharp 1 fraction. Susquehanna and Western l preferred gained 21s, Northwest pre- ferred and Delaware and Hudson 2 each. Other stocks not hitherto men, toned which recorded gains of point or more were Tobacco, Canadian Pal ,ifie, New Jersey Central, Reading first :. preferred, Reading second preferred, I Minneapolis and St. Louis second pre- erred, Pullman, Rio Grande Western spirits preferred. Leather preferred and E. Oregon Short Line. The closing was strong and generally at best prices. which were fraction above yesterdays lose in cases not specified above. Marked exceptions were Brooklyn l Rapid Transit and Des Moines and | Tort Dodge, which closed % and IA re- peetively below yesterday.
 Considerable strength was displayed mong g. few of the industrial mort ages, but the. general market also dis- layed an improved tone on moderae i urchases. Business was somewhat 1ore general in the low-priced securi- les with the liens of some more re- ently reorganized properties assuming rominence. The aggregate sales were = 1, ,70S 900. . Government bonds were practically eglected, but ruled steady at yester avs closing prices
