Hawaiian Crop Causes a Flutter
in Sugar Operations.
Railroad List Showed Aggressive Strength
and Broadening Tendency.

New York, Nov. 4.--There was some
flutter amongst the shorts this morning
in Sugar on the report that the Amer
lean Company had acquired the entire
Hawaiian crop.
Operators who had been selling the
stock on the intimations of an author
ity in the Hawaiian sugar industry of
the loss involved in the present rates
for selling the fine sugar FASTENED to
cover their short contracts and rushed
the price up / IA points. The price
was sustained with difficulty, which in
creased as the day progressed, so that
the stock closes with net loss despite
rumors that the company was in a way
to secure the Louisiana crop also.
Tobacco, although 1t rose in the early
trading, dropped over three points be-
fore the close, which was at net de-
cline of 3-S. The trading in the spe-
cialties was hardly as active as of late,
and, the Federal Steel stock was also
rather neglected and inclined to heav-
mess.
In the railroad list there We're various
points of aggressive strength, and a
broadening tendency. The division of
business is somewhat equalized by the
falling off in activity in the Changers
and Pacifics, especially the latter, the
preferred stocks of which did not Of
fer a single quotation until some time
after the opening of the exchange. On
the other hand, there was notable
increase Of activity in Denver and Rio
Grande preferred, which rose over a
point on the strength of the continued
increase in earnings, which was, over
$4,000 for the fourth week in October
and 100000 for the month. Southern
roads were quite uniformly strong, no.
table gains being registered by Louis
Vile on behalf of an early resumption
of dividends and Southern Railway
preferred and Mobile and Ohio on good
traffic returns.
There were excellent statements of
earnings for the fourth week i'll Oc-
tober; also from Wisconsin Central,
NorWalk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio, Missouri Pacific, Chicago
Great Western, Lake Erie and Western
and other railroads
The comparative hesitation in the
Changers was largely due to the Rock
Island statement for September, which
showed the increase OF $64,3S1 in gross
earnings more than wiped out by i'm
creased operating expenses, so as to
show a decrease in net earnings of over
S29 900. The decision to dissolve the
Joint Traffic Association was without

Taylor is attacking the records upon

Sager, Henshaw, Hadfeld, Jefferson

1t was the Sager team that started

pickup, he tackled to the Callahan

He finished in 81 As. At the last turn
Taylor sprinted UP to the side of his
machine, finishing in a race with it al
the tape This is 1882 3-5 speed, the
mile record being 1872 rs, also held by
Edouard Taylore. Confident that he
could get the mile after this showing,
Major Taylor made the attempt with
his three teams, and failed only by
1874 1-5 This was at 4 o'clock, and not
breath of air was stirring. The
Crooks and Sager quints in tandem
started him. Crooks dropping out at

to the two-thirds, and gave way to the
Callahan quint, which picked up pref
tily. No time was caught at the two
points, but it was probably the second
machine that slowed the time. Taylor
called for more pace.
Tomorrow he goes again for the
mile. Yesterday he rode two miles in
1916 in practice; the first mile in 1876.
His time was five seconds better than
