Whatever results the Government and tho
sugar refining industry may derive from the
sugar schedule agreed upon by the Tariff Con-
ference Committee last Saturday-and 1t 10 plain
from the widely different opinions expressed
even by tariff experts that time and experience
can alone determine what those results will be-
the fact remains that the speculative manipu-
lators of Sugar Refining stock construed
the new schedule as favorable to tho
refining industry, and proceeded promptly
this morning to convert every one skeptical
of the accuracy of their views by abetting ex-
traordinary advances In tho prices Of both
Sugar Refining common and preferred. There
was a wild scramble for tho common stock at
tho opening. and. in consequence. 1t sold at tho
same moment at prices ranging from Oh to SD
points above tho Anal price of Saturday. After
tho excitement had subsidized somewhat tho mar
ket was found to be in the neiRhborhood of l3s.
The lowest price at tho opening. namely, 1876.
proved to be tho lowest Of the day. From
the figure first mentioned the market began
to creep mp until 140 was reached, and
then the news came to hand that tho tariff
schedule as agreed to also included additional
protection against the product of countries that
pay bounty. This started fresh advance that
eliminated at 144la, making tho maximum ad-
vance from the final price of Saturday 11%
points. A reaction naturally followed. still the
final price was points above that of Saturday.
The transactions in Sugar Refining exceeded
100, 900 shares; yet oven that unusual amount
was less than % ' cent. Of the total transao-
tions. Activity was stimulated throughout tho
list by tho fact that an agreement upon the
tariff had been reached and by crop and foreign
trade prospects. with which the readers of this
column are familiar The rapid and violent
fluctuations In Sugar Refining and the enormous
trading in It caused q degree of regular
ity throughout the remainder of the list. Many
professional operators apparently argued that
to-day's market for Sugar Refining would be
likely to have q detrimental effect upon the en-
tire apeculation. They therefore sold stocks
from time to time with the oxpectation of re-.
covering them To advantage upon q reaction. In
this view tbey were constantly disappointed.
