Tobacco Gains Advances In a Rising
Stock Market.

New York, Oct 2S.-The stock market
opened firm on favorable news from the
Peace Commission in Paris, but the prin-
cipal buying appeared to be covering of
shorts. There was very little stock for
sale, and prices advanced easily.
American Tobacco was a feature, ad-

news. London was a seller, and there has
been a good deal of realizing. Brooklyn

The advice of careful people IS still to
sell Tobacco and Sugar with good mar
gins to prevent being wiped out by ma
nipulation. There can be no doubt that
both of the trusts have fights before them
that will cost large amounts of money
and mean, almost certainly, "a lessening or
entire cessation of dividends The Have
meyers are refining sugar even now at a
loss, if the reports can be relied on, and
there is every reason to believe that this
must continue for monthsi to come. They
make something like 10000 barrels of su-
gar a day and their loss during the fight
will probably not be less than an average
of 10 cents on 100 pounds. 1t may be a
much larger amount AS for the Tobac-
co people, Liggett & Myers, seem as de-
termined as ever to fight and as long as
they are willing to hold out and manu-
facture their goods there must be loss
for the trust.

The market was strong again today
with buying a trifle better. During the
morning hours there We're advances in
prices all over the list of from a fraction
to over three points. The Grangers were
all strong, Tobacco went up TO beyond its
high figure at the beginning of the week.
and there was no weakness apparent
anywhere. 1t is impossible to predict
with any safety what the outcome of the
rise will be. If 1t should hold for a few
points the public might be induced to get
in and make respectable boom, but the
lack of interest shown by the large in
terests during the last few weeks makes
this seem improbable. Many of the peo-
pie now in the Street are predicting a
reaction within day or two at the most.
