point in only few shares. which embraced
some of tho spccialties. Tho decline in
standard stocks was checked after fractional
reccssions on the appearance of buying or
ders. which caused renewed advance and
standard stocks rallied to about yesterday
close. Sugar was attacked, thus checking the
rise elsewhere. Finally. after feverish huc-
tuations, Sugar ended with n small gain.
The reported gold developments In Colo

supporting factor The bears as usual sought
to bring about reaction In the last hour.

wheat start. Tho weather throughout the
winter wheat region was recognized as being
very trying on tho plant and as the fields
