NEW YORK, March 16.-The trading
In the sugar pit today elipsed everything
Of the sensational order in the stock mar
mense crowd Of surging brokers who
were clamoring for the stock at any
price. Blocks of 1000 shares changed
hands frequently, and the rapidity of the
rise can be judged by the fact that while
14S was the ruling price at midday, 172
was current a half hour later. The
shorts were panic-stricken and fought
for the stock at any price.
Large amounts were unloaded at the
high level, and there was a rapid descent
in the price to Isl, with a recovery to 1853
by I o'clock. Glucose Sugar Refinery,
which was mentioned as factor in the
rumored deal with Sugar, Jumped nine
points, but lost half of the improvement.
The general market, particularly the
railway list, was at standstill while
the full swing in Sugar was on, but sub
sequently there was a revival of interest
in Manhattan, Metropolitan and Third
Avenue.
SUGAR IN THE LEAD.
The sensational rise in sugar was large
ly responsible for the elimination Of much
of the short interest in the rest of the
list, material gains appearing, notably
among the Specialties, while railways at
the high point averaged IA points up,
but there were recessions from the best
and the market closed under pressure.
1t was a wild day on the exchange,
Sugar figuring for over 250,000 shares,
with the aggregate trading reaching near
ly 100000 shares. The market was NOV
ing cautiously upward when Sugar burst
into prominence and touched 10, a rise Of
29A points over last night and II points
above the special boom prices of 1897. The
stock closed at 159ih.
The fluctuations were erratic, an in
stance in point being the drop of 10
points on two transactions from the high
point. trader sold short 800 Of the 800
shares traded in at ITO, and in a moment
covered 100, the only intermediate trans
action being 100 shares at 169. Thus the
broker realized $1,000 on his short sale.
There were various runors connected
with the movement in Sugar, among them
the report that the trade war had been
settled; that an agreement had been
reached with the Glucose Refining COM
pany, and the Doascher and Arbuckle in
terests. People in the trade generally
discredited the reports, processing igno-
rance of any deal upon which they would
likely be posted, were it in existence Lo-
cal interests identified with the concerns
mentioned likewise discredited the re-
ports except in the case of the president
Of the Sugar Refining company, who
made no statement before the market

BRYAN AND BELMONT.
Significant AIIusfon to Their Recent
Exchange of Letters.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, March 16.-Will-
lam j. Bryan tonight addressed a large
audience at the coliseum. He had been
invited to take part in the st. Patrick s
day exercises, under the auspices of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, but could
not be here tomorrow, SO the celebration
was held tonight. Mr.. Bryan was intro
duced by ex-Vice President Stevenson as
the foremost statesman Of the time"
you've heard of him before; you will
hear of him again. said Mr.. Stevenson.
This expression was received with great
applause, which was sredoubled as Mr.
Bryan arose. The greater portion of his
address was an argument against impe-
rialism.
Tonight Mr. Bryan was shown a tele-
gram from New York, in which was sug
gested the probability Of his acceptance
OF an invitation to banquet to be held
on Jefferson's birthday by adherents to
the Chicago platform as a revival of the
banquet of the Democratic club. He
said:
II never heard of the Jefferson day
banquet until now 1 have written a
letter to August Belmont in reply to his
invitation. The public can learn my de-
ctsion from him."

SLAIN By a MOB.
Four Negroes Killed by Lynchers at
Palmetto, Ga.

| Palmetto, Ga.
| PALMETTO, Ga, March 16.-Nine ne
| gro prisoners. under arrest charged with
| attempting to set fire to the town, were
attacked in Jail by white mob this
morning. Four were killed, one fatally
| injured and the other four seriously in
Jured. The victims are:
Dead-Bud Cotton, Henry Bingham,
| Tip Hutson and Ed Brown.
1njured-John Bigby, fatally; Glenn
Watts, shot in abdomen: George Taylor,
wounded in thigh; Isham Brown, shot
IN body, and John Jamison, arm frac-
tured.
Mayor Arnold has summoned a guard
of seventy-fve citizens to patrol the
streets and warehouses, and every citi-
zen seen on the street is armed with a
gun. The situation is believed to be
practically under control. The Palmetto
cotton mills shut down for the day on
account of the excitement.
The mob was composed of $50 men,
Where they came from is a mystery, so
far as the people of the town know That
some of the people of Palmetto, but not
the better class, were in the mob, goes
without saying. Every face was masked,
and, when the warehouse was reached,
where the negroes were Imprisoned the
special guard of five men were covered
without word. In minute the mob
was in the big warehouse and the fusi-
lade opened. The frightened negroes sent
up yell after yell, begging for mercy,
but 1t had no effect on the mob When
Its work was finished, the masked mob
turned and quickly disappeared as 1t
came-on horseback.
The citizens patrolling the main street
of the town tonight are dispensing an oc-
casional group of muttering negroes,
who seem determined to get some form Of
revenge for the slaughter of four of their
race.
The scene at the warehouse, where the
nine negroes were confined and which is
now filed with the dead and dying, is a
revolving and miserable one. Blood COW
ers the floor and the blackened walls are
indented with rifle shots. Wives and chill
dren of the negroes are kneeling by their
side in the dimly-lighted room and pierc-
ing the air with cries and means OF an
guish. The bodies of the dead negroes
have not been removed.
