The break IN Sugar bas been described.
The stock opened at l62 1-2 went to 163,
and then faded away rapidly to 154. Dur
ing the afternoon the price went as high
as 161 and a fraction again and the close
was at 160,- with a large part of the loss
regained. Mr.. Keene was the chief seller
OF Sugar, and he was also short of Burling
ton, which fact leads many to believe that
he has been beaten and that there will be
a turn in the market today. AS to the
outlook for Sugar, the bulls are still op-
timistic.

Atchison went to lower price yester-
day than at any time this year s nee early
in the January boom. The breaks at the
end OF January and in April carried the
price only down to 80 1-2, and yesterday
IS "a was reached. The close was at
80 Ia Rock Island was also very weak,
although no new low price record was es-
tablished. The familiar 115 was touched
during the worst of the break. st. Paul,
after declining a point, regained all of its
loss except Ii. Burlington was the sur
prise of the day, with great strength at ali
times, and a net gain of an entire 20 mt
at the close. The reason of this inte; esting
feature was undoubtedly the fact that the
stock sells "ex'' its rights and 'ex" divi-
dend today. The rights and dividend to-
gether are worth about 1-2, and there
were evidently a good many who believed
it would be good speculation to hold tn
stock over night. The opening on the
stock this morning will be watched with
much interest. II the market is in the
least favorable it is believed that the
opening price will show something re-
tained of this good melon. The c.osing on
Burlington Wednesday night was 1i3. The
opening yesterday was at 143 is, and the
lowest price reached during the day 142 1-2.
The close was at IA, the top for the day,
reached only in the last five minutes of the
session. There was some good buying of
the other grangers, but it is unquestion-
ably the fact that there is much bearish
sentiment developing regarding the group.

The Steel and Wire and Federal Steel
securities were all strong, as has been said
before. Steel and Wire common went as
high as ~ soon after the opening, and ar
ter declining to S. with the remainder Of
the market, closed at 20 "a, only frac-
tion below the high opening. The pre-
ferred opened at par and closed at so ga.
Federal Steel common was not as strong
as Steel and Wire, but after opening at
a high price. 6s 1-2. il declined only to
Sc and then rallied to Sc 3-4 at the close.
The prospect Of magnificent statement by
the Steel and Wire people and of good
dividend on the common stock Immediately
is the cause of the present strength Of the
stock. and there is every reason to believe
that the price will be much higher in a few
days if the market is in the least favorable.
Federal Steel common is somewhat more
quiet than its companion stock, but the
prospects Of the company are in every way
as attractive and there can be no doubt
that the stock will sell very much higher.
In any revival of the market it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted that the price would soon
reach so. The preferred stock is said TO
be scheduled for par this month.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, May 13.-Hunt-

Surf gap and the attitude assumed by
Land Owner Dreyfus still supply the
subject of conversation here. The
Chamber of Commerce, the right of
way committee and a great many land
owners are doing all in their power to
settle the difficulty and have forwarded
letters to Huntington, assuring him OF
their aid in making the way clear
They realize that Huntington has them

Hon. Ellwood Cooper. who was chair
man of the railroad convention, com
posed of members from all coast cOun-
ties, held at San Jose in 1890 has called
a meeting of the citizens Of Santa Bar
bara County to be held in this city on
May 90 The object is TO devise means
for settling the trouble between the
railroad officials and the land owners
through whose lands the road must go.
Mr.. Cooper says:

degree of economy. We must bestir
ourselves to insure these facilities The
distress apparent in some of the neigh
boring counties, by reason of INSULT
cient rainfall, will help us in the work.
Teams and men can be procured to do
the grading, and while our interests are
advanced these people will be helped by
the opportunity to earn something.
COOIPr suggests that a commit
tee of citizens be appointed to settle
grievances on the part of land owners
and to receive notice from the railroad
builders in all cases where obstructtons
are placed. the committee to have
power to adjust the differences.

HEAVY UPSETS ON

The sports who attend the coursing
meetings at Union Park and who are sup
posed to be good judges of form and know
a thing or two about the tricks of the
trade received some few financial upsets
yesterday that will compel them to exer-
else caution to-day, when the finals of the
open stake are run.
Feeling jubiant over the successes they
achieved in winning snug little pots from
the rundown of the extra stake which was
the first on the card of the days coursng,
the talent, so-called, played the courses
heavily when the open stake was intro
duced and pleasant sailing was the order

EATING OF A TAMALE
MAY RESULT IN DEATH
Miss Maude Hufford of Los Angeles
Suffering From Ptomaine
Poisoning.

Los ANGELES. May 13.-Miss Maude
Hufford, one of the handsomest and most
popular young women Of this city, is bat
Ting for life against one of the most dead
ly diseases known to physicians. Ever
since Miss Hufford partook of a tamale
last Saturday she has suffered great
agony Dr. Lewis diagnosed her case as
ptomaine poisoning, caused by spoiled
meat in the tamale. Miss Hunord Was
unconscious for four days. Yesterday she
was able to speak few words, but she
is still in a critical condition. The joints
of her arms and legs began to stiffen and
came necessary. To keep her limbs plas-
tic it is necessary to move and twist The
joints every two hours. The nerves of
Miss Hufford's eyes, according to DR..
Lewis, have become twisted, causing
double vision.
Miss Huffords life hangs on slender
thread. Her recovery depends upon her
ability to pass the crisis, which is expect
ed to be reached tomorrow night.
