THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The stock market was intensely dull. with
values lower throughout the list Traders pro-
tessea extreme uneasiness over the reports from
London that the British squadron in Chinese
wsters had cleared for action" and they were
,so profoundly discouraged over the local po
utical situation. despite the fact that the out
look Cor Republican success throughout the
country is growing brighter daily. Traders
who profess 10 be uneasy owing to the so-called
Tamnany betting on Mr.. Van Wyck should
hear in mind that the Fourteenth-st. politicians
and their allies IN Wall Street are following
system similar 10 that employed by certain
stock market spectators in transactions known
as wash sales"
Sugar Refining the only strong feature in
the active list, its strength following wonderful
reports Of coming cheerful information regard
ng sugar affairs. and probable developments
tia, would Offset the trade war now in progress.
The Sugar Refining Trust does not take the
public into its confidence. and tales Of what the
company intends 70 do for its stockholders well
fare should BE received with the proverbial
grain Of salt. The anthracite list was heavy,
ard the general railway list closed dull and frac-
touaily lower. Tobacco stock manipulation was
again in evidence. the price auctuating over
range Of ( per cent and closing at net loss OF
nearly per cent Weakness in Federal Steel
issues followed heavy realizing sales but Street
sentiment remained bullsh on the property. II
IS understood that the company viii declare
dividend on the preferred stock at the end OF
the first three months Of operation. and on the
common ct the end Of the subsequent quarter.
