SUGARS WILD FLUCTUATIONS.
Advance of $50 n share on Rumor>
of n Settlement.

The American Sugar Trust stock caused
intense excitement and made and lost great
fortunes today in the most tremendous
fluctuations ever seen on the New York
Stock Exchange The stock opened this
morning at 141 and fraction and before
] O'Clock had reached 10. u gain i'll three
hours of about $50 a share. At times the
jumps between quotations were 81 and $s
a share and in fifteen minutes there WAS
an advance of 90 points. The cause of the
excitement in Sugar was story put out
early in the day that the Sugar trade war
is over and the entire sugar business of
! America owned by one concern. This sio-
ry is denied in part and By some wholly
There have been rumors of an adjustm
Of the sugar war for several days and the
stock has been strong on these and on the
declaration of the regular dividend for The
last quarter despite hints that IL would not
be the regular So a share These stories
of a settlement have grown more persist
ent and more ciTcumstantial every day
This morning it was stated In Wall Street
on what seemed TO be excellent authority
that the American Sugar Refinery has ad-
justed all its differences with the ArbucK-
les and the Doschers, the two principal
rivals of the Trust.
Another story that was told in many
quarters was that for weeks, at least. and
perhaps Tor months there has been no su-
gar war, but simply hippodrome between
the different interests for the purpose of
manipulating the stock market This
story had many believers as il is known
that the Havemeyers have been buying
sugar and selling it at various times in
the last several months. Ii will be re-
membered that this suggestion was made
| in The Times two months ago. 1t was
| then stated that the sugar speculation and
| the continued payment of the dividend on
| Sugar stock locked very much as if an
understanding of some kind had been
reached between the trust and the rival
refineries
When the big advance began in Sugar
| this morning and the story of the settle
| ment of the Sugar fight was published
| there was a great rush of the shorts ro
| cover. They were forced TO pay from s2O
10 $50 a share for their bad judgment
Later in the day after the highest price
was reached-S170 share-there was a
/ recession of $50 to $3.50, after which the
! climb began again to around 160 The dror
was caused by denials of the adjustment
story, which, however, are not generally
| credited. Predictions are now broadcast

While a cheap grade of "store teeth" can
be bought for few cents apiece, they are

dentists A big supply company will ear

But as there are people who are 10, sat

are people who are not satisfied with

Just as we'll or better than real ones, but
public speakers, singers and other proml-
nent people want their own teeth rep-o-
duced in all their peculiarities of form and
color, and Filings, if they have them. They
want teeth that cannot be told as ia Sc.

haps, but one by one. as the originals give
out.
In teeth that are made to order nothing
is impossible, from the short, white teeth
of normal youth TO the long, discolored
ones of extreme age. and the prices range
with those of watches
The teeth are set in plates of rubber,
gold and aluminium but the highest
achievement is considered to be a D att

lining of tinted porcelain similar TO that
used for gum work Tinted Plates have
been made of the same material as the
teeth, but. as the porcelain shrinks in the
firing, the fitting OF such plates is uncer-

And now for the answer to the question.
What becomes of false teeth?'' Some
times they are lost. sometimes stolen, and
sometimes left as family legacy. Gen.
orally, however, they are buried with the
owner. and lie forever hidden in the
ground.

Sugar in Aggressive Shape.
New York, March 16.-The stock market
opened generally strong and after the first
fifteen minutes of trading became more ac-
tive than usual of late.
The traders covered shorts under the in
fiuenee of the theory that some of the
larger interests were exerting themselves
for turn on the long side at least Senti-
ment was affected favorably by the ag-
gressive advance of per cent in Sugar.
The local fractions advanced several points
on the indications of a compromise on the
Amsterdam Avenue bill, and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit ruled above par. Censolidat-
ed Gas rose nearly per cent on the pas
age of the Astoria Gas bill by the Assem-
bly, at Albany yesterday afternoon.
Realizations carried tobacco down over
four points. Speculation showed good
undertone on reactions. Government bonds
were unchanged.
The stock market at noon had developed
pronounced strength under the lead of Su-
gar, which advanced over Z per cent Ru-
mors were in circulation that the Doscher
refinery had passed into the control of the
American Company. There were also ru-
mors of a satisfactory trade arrangement
with the Arbuckles. American Tobacco
after selling Off II per cent, rallied over

FACTS ABOUT FALSE TEETH.
How They Are Made and What Be-
comes of Them.
(From the Boston Herald.)

(FTom the Boston HeTald1
Hundreds of thousands of artificial teeth
are manufactured and sold every year
What becomes of them? 1t is like asking
what becomes of pins and other things
which are practically indestructible.
Before making guess. it is worth while
to consider how artificial teeth are made.
The story is told in Nantucket of a sea
captain who was a great whistler until he
lost one OF his front teeth by accidental
contact with a Delaying pin. For some
time he bemoaned his lost accomplish
ment, until he found that he could whistle
very well with an artificial tooth whitfield
out of piece of wood. When perform
ance was desired he would calmly carve
out an incisor and put it in position. Then
the audience would wait until the tooth
was swelled by the moisture of his mouth
so that it would not slip out.
When plates were discovered and the ex-
pert dentist was able TO supply a whole
mouthful of new teeth, the teeth them
selves were carved out of ivory But con-
stant grinding would wear away the ivory.
and these elephant teeth were not satis-

Today all artificial teeth are made of por-
celain, and will outlast a Methuselah.
Those which are known in the trade as

the big dental supply houses. are manu-
factured in enormous quantities.
The porcelain material, which contains
various mineral proportions. is worked up
like sort Of dough or plaster, forced into
molds and fused by intense heat in fur
mace. Each took is covered with enamel,
and has one or more metal pins in the back
to hold it to the plate.
In large lots these teeth can be made
very cheaply, but there is one item of ex-
pense that cannot be overcome, and that
is the cost of the metal holding the pin.
The only metal which will stand the in
tense heat of the porcelain furnace is plati-
mum, and that costs at the rate of a cent

Sugar was one of the features of the
market this morning. The stock opened
at above 141 and within few minutes ad-
vanced to above IA, a 4-point advance
from the close yesterday. The talk now
is all of great consolidation of the Sugar
Trust with the rival refneries on some
basis not yet known. This story is sus-
ceptible of several interpretations. 1t may
be made of the whole cloth for manipua-
tive purposes, or it may be true. If true
it is quite likely that the sugar fight
has been more or less of hippodrome for
several weeks or even months past. 1t is
believed however, by people who should
have good information that the stock will
advance considerably further.
