The Stock Market Was Extremely Dull
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
New York, April 1.-The dealings at
the stock exchange to-day were char
acterized by extreme dizziness and as a
result the fluctuations were confined
within narrow limits. The resolution
introduced into the Pennsylvania leg
islature to investigate the affairs of the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Co. led
to an attack on Jersey Central at the
opening and the stock declined about
a point to 76A. Purchases to cover
short contracts promptly led to an adj
vance to TITS.
At the same time Sugar developed
marked strength and on unusually
large purchases advanced steadily
from 110A to 1925. Firms with Wash
ington connections were the principal
buyers and this led to ru,nors that leg
islation would be favorable to the Su-
gar interest after all
The general list improved Y to IN per

ON a revival of the reports that the
company intends to shut down its tan
neries for short time. Near the close
renewed purchases of Sugar led to a
rally in the general list.
Among the specialties Baltimore and
Ohio fell 1ss to 1925, Brooklyn Union
Gas jumped from 997s to 102 and Con-
solidated Gas from 1864 to 1894.
