THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

White the course Of stocks yesterday was
,.rresular. the market as whole showed lu'
t,ner Improvement. II was mace eVloene 'n"'
the tendency OF values was toward d iie"e
level and also that there was more eenei"
.6,snosition 10 trade since the defeat OF lne oeo'
contingent In its effort 10 break down PFi0es'
accordingly. the outlook is for not only DETER
conditions. but also greater activity Conui-
+ions are without exception In FAVOR OIL tne
,,narket. and no developments or an ADVERSE
nature are in sight. The relative ease Oh IioNeS
Is something that counts for a gooo oeai III
-ocr,tatine an upward movement in stocks.
Rates are not as low as operators wouIo Hhe
% see them. but considering the large use for
money they are reasonable. They are not SUI
ac,ently high to restrict speculation. The only
,h,no ia q lingering fear that the marketing or
.ha crons may make money stiff again. This
feer m TO date has not been realized In any
degree.
The dealings on the Stock Exchange in the
Tobacco stocks were very large. but there was ITO
betterment in the prices Of them. The American
yrobacco Company and its subsidiary concern
Tho Continental Tobacco. reported to be-
and they probably are, making large earnlnes
II is intimated that after dividend on Con-
tinentaI preferred has been declared the diVi-
.dend on the American common Will De IN
creased These two companies have good
control of those departments Of the tobacco
trade in which they are interested, and GER
tainlv their stock issues have been handled
with consummate skill on the Stock Exchange
The returns to holders of American stock have
.been large and for that reason. presumably
,be cancellations of the holders of Continental
have been aroused.
The attempt to demolish Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stock was not renewed. On the con-
.rary there was steady buying Of it. and it ad-
yanced readily. The holdings Of insiders are
said 70 have been materially increased. while
the stock was under attack in the early part OF
the week. The disposition TO trade In the stock
IS widespread and it is likely to continue
leading feature Of the market Quiet in the
Sugar trade was taken to mean that the In
terpretation Of the cut in sugar prices as re-
sumption Of the trade war was wrong. The con-
clusion was that the cut was a measure en-
Moved TO reduce Accommodations Of sugar in re-
fners' hands However, the demand for sugar
Refining was too small to prevent fall In its
price. A reduction IN the dividend on Consoli-
dated Gas to | per cent, or to per cent year
produced only fractional loss in the price Of
the stock 1t suggested that the gas war was
,proving expensive, and that accordingly an
early termination Of 1t might be looked for. The
dealings in stocks were very widely distributed,
although the total Of the transactions was re-
,duced from Wednesday.
