opened with heavy buying and sharp
gains in various parts of the list.
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific pfd
showed gains. The persistent hammer
ing to which Sugar has been subjected
during the past few days. was renewed
and the price sagged to 1884, on heavy
offerings. The general market. which
at times of late has moved independ-
emily of the liquidation in this special
ty, succumbed sharply today in sym
patty. Towards the end of the hour
support was evident in Sugar and n
rally of n point occurred. The gem
eral market. however, continued heavy.
A large investment demand for gilt
edged stocks, such AS New Haven,
Pullman. Alton, Northwest pfd and st.
Paul pfd. resulted in notable advances.
There was an advance also in the gen.
erl list, followed by some feverishness.
owing to the large realization. Third
Avenue Jumped II points to 1856. Union
Pacific showed most strength among
the low priced stocks and rose to 32ss.
The bond market was fairly active.
