LATEST LONDON QUOTATIONS..

THURsDAY. April 8.
The dull, yet in tho main steady. market for
stocks during tho last two or three days was
strong evidence that tho selling movement
that followed tho decision of tho Supreme
Court in tho TranS-Missour Trafio case
had about run Its course. Tho belief en-
tertained in some quarters that tho market
had become oversold was confirmed to-day
by sharp advances in several Of the active
stocks. notably Sugar Refining and Chicago
Gas. It has been unusually fashionable to
sell both of these stocks. Possible competition,
mono of which is formidable. and prospective
changes In the tariff have been made much Of
by operators who have favored lower prices for
Sugar Refining. At the decline the stock ap-
pears to havo been absorbed to an extent that
alarmed the short interest when speculative SEN
timent was affected to-day by the possibility
that tho protests of European countries against
some Of tho schedules In tho pending
Tariff bill might result in its defeat or
at least In radical notifications Tho attitude
of certain professional operators toward Chicago
Gas was changed to-day by q moro accurate
understanding of the bearing Of tho recent
municipal election upon tho welfare of the
Chicago gas companies. The two stocks named
supplied nearly one-half of larger total trans
actions than were reported yesterday.
The reduction In the Bank of England mini
mum rate of discount to GIG y cent. was a devel-
opment that affected security markets generally.
OF local developments tho most important was
the disclosure made by THE SUN of the real
character of the movement to reduce the price
of gas In this city and Brooklyn. Consolidated
Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas enjoyed sharp adj
vances and closed at tho best prices. Other
noteworthy movements took plaoe in O., B. and
Quincy, United States Leather. Jersey Cen
trail, and Western Union. Tho ease with
which prices advanced on the covering of shorts
stimulated some buying for long account, and It
is also to DO noted that there was q little In
crease In the volume Of commission business.
Additional casualties among the bucket shops
and Syndicate" concerns that have been play
ing upon the credulity and avarice Of the public
emphasize the comment printed In H SUN this
morning. that tho dupe who makes the first do
mand for his money stands the best show of get
ting 1t back.
