NEW YORK, June S.-The bears secured the upper hand again in to-day's stock market through the instrumentality of sugar, which went through of its od-fashioned acrobatic performances and easily dominated the whole list. Its fluctuations were frequent and violent. extreme range of points, and though 1t made several substantial recoveries each successive dip carried it to a lower level than before and the close was only slightly above the lowest. The violent declines dis lodged torrents of stock. which came pouring upon the market in blocks of 1000 shares. The quick rally indicated that shorts losing no time in covering. realizing movement is generally expected in sugar upon the declara- tion of the dividends, but the savage onslaught upon the stock was doubtless contributed to by the powerful speculative element. which has been working for a reaction for several days past to buy stocks at lower level than they were sold to realize last week. To-day was the beginning of a periodical settlement on the London Stock Exchange, and it has been rent opinion in Wall street that there are some heavy outstanding snort accounts there In Americans St. Paul, in which the foreign short account was believed to be the heaviest, broke heavily and there was very large ab sorptiOn of the stock at the decline and the recovery. Although London sold here through erbitrage houses there doubt some buy ing for London account through other channels There was substantial rally late in the day on the covering of shorts and in svmpathy with the strength in individual stocks, and later the break in sugar was ignored in the general list The final rally reduced most of the net losses to fractions and left substan- tial gains in many special cases.

 CHICAGO. June S.-The chief factor of strength in wheat the unexpected advance in Liverpool cables which quoted improve ment in July equal to 4i9c per bushel septem- Der In that market was likewise higher, but in much less marked degree than July. Besides the strength of the Liverpool market there were fears that the domestic crop had been in- jured by too much rain Shorts became ceedingly nervous and there was an unusual rush to cover, partly to secure profits which yet remained and partly to stop further losses. There was also some demand for the long count from scalpers. who reasoned that after the pendulum to swing the other way. The note of anything but the bull factors. Later however. it was believed that real damage to the crop had been experienced and that the recent statistics as to the worlds n-esent SUD- plies were really bearsh. The idea of manipu- lated Liverpool markets began to take root the bears regained their courage and began to fight the advance. The close was fairly steady July closing with gain of 1&c and September 1hI1Ac.
