Of prices will be. The opening was at an
advance of a fraction nearly everywhere,
but realizing began soon after the first
quotation and prices declined from frac-

that the large interests will allow more
than such small recession. On the other

Sugar was one of the features of the
early trading. II was advanced from an
opening around $50 to 160 rs, within an
eighth of the high price of Saturday. but
later was allowed TO decline TO the opening
price again. There was much activity in
the stock and it was very evident that
something interesting is likely to occur in
it in a very short time. Whether the
Street is right in believing that the sugar
fight is of and that the stock will have
new sharp advance and a new high price
record it is impossible to say, but the in
dications point in the direction of better
understanding between the different par
ties. 1t is said for one thing that neither
the Trust nor the independent rehneries
will make any contracts for sugar for
later date than January /. and this is
most unusual matter.

appearance of getting ready for good ad-
