 New York, November 14.--The stock mar ket has recently emancipated itself in large degree from the influence of Sugar. l the violent gyrations of Sugar in today's market could not but have a rather unset. ting effect Quotations were almost lost at the Sugar post at the opening, and were recorded all the way from 125 down to 124. Before noon the price was quoted at 119 and again before the close 1t went back to 124. The early decline was based on the fall in the loaning rate, which was taken to indicate the conclusion of the squeeze against the shorts, and the subse- quent recovery came with the announce ment of the advancement of the price in the product by the companies alleged to be engaged in a. trade war of extermination. The enormous volume of transactions in this speciality gave 1t necessarily some sympathetic influence on the general list. The opening quotation for Atchison pre- ferred also ran all the way from fl to 42 in the simultaneous sales of $500 shares. The high price proved too much to sustain. and it ran off in the first hour, carrying the whole railroad list with it. Atchison preferred more than recovered later in the day, and sold as high as 42%. The adjust ment bonds were also in heavy demand, and rose at one time 1ss per cent. But the railroad list generally showed tendency to drag, and recent leaders were sustained at level above Saturdays prices with difficulty, in spite of the additional advan- tage of some very striking gains in usually active stocks. Finding the difficulty of making the recent leaders, speculation showed tendency to turn in the lower priced stocks. The southwestern railroads were most conspicuous, probably in sym pathy to some extent with Atchson, Mis- souri Pacific, Texas and Pacific, St. Louis and San Francisco second preferred St. Louis, Southwestern preferred and Kan sas and Texas advanced from a fraction to 1b points. Tn addition the Flint & Pere Marquette stock moved up points each; Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf advanced an extreme 27s and Chicago and Alton 1234, touching 167 The Pittsburg and Gulf bonds also showed marked strength. These two latter movements were associated in Wall street gossip with the rumored change of control in the Chicago and Alton. In the Industrial list conspicuous gains were achieved by the National Biscuit stocks, Spirits preferred. the International Paper stocks, Linseed Oil and Manhattan The Changers and the Pacfics and the iron and steel stocks showed increasing heavi- ness as the day progressed. and some fell before Saturdays close while none of them showed net gains of more than fraction. The money market was active and rather firmer today and some apprehension is felt of a future rise in rates the more so as London sold stocks in New York freely to- day a safeguard against a gold shipment to New York Atchison adjustments con- tinued to lead the bond market, and there was notable activity in Wisconsin Central, which at first declined 1%, and in Texas and Pacific second incomes and some other mid- dle grade and low grade issues at advanc- ing prices.
 Money on call was steady at 2G2R per cent last loan at 2A per cent. Prime mer- cantle paper 3G4 per cent. Sterling ex- change was easy with actual business in bankers bills at 4.S5d4.S5A for demand, and at 4s2M4S2A for sixty days. Posted rates, 4S3604. .S615; commercial bills, 4.S164.S11s.
