Young Gustnvus Comes To Washing
ton 10 Sow Wild Oats.

Peter Gustavus. son of a we'll known Gay
Street merchant in Baltimore. came TO
Washington last Monday to SOW wild oats.
Before leaving Baltimore it is alleged that
the lad, who is only eighteen years old,
cashed check belonging to his father, and
with the $500 secured by him from the
bank brought two women TO this city.
While here young Gustavus spent most
of his time at questionable places south
of the Avenue, indulging in wine and in
various other costly luXuries. which he
paid for out OF his abundant cash. One of
the women who had accompanied Gustavus
TO this city returned TO Baltimore yester-
day and the presumption is that she gave
Information to the marshal of the Balti-
more police which led TO the subsequent
arrest of Gustayus in house south of the
Avenue. Detective John II. Kratz, of Bal
timore. and Detective Helan made the ar
rest. When they took Gustavus into Gus

HEAVY TRADING CONTINUES
\ Confident Toael u the Close of n
strong stool. Mnrkct.


New York, Jan. 71.-Sugar Refining
furnished a considerable part of the
days large business ion the Stock Ex-
change. The varying inferences drawn
from the statements made at the meeting
of the Sugar Refining Company were re
sponsible for the great activity and the
wide fluctuations in the stock. In the main
and in view of the decision in regard to
the surplus and the noted trade conditions
the stock showed great strength.
The trading in the general market was
on large scale, but diminished one in
comparison with the heavy dealings Of
Monday and Tuesday. Interest in the mar
ket was very well diversified and while
the course of prices was somewhat irregu-
lar. firm undertone was always apparent,
particularly for the standard and high
priced stocks.
There were striking advances in num-
her of issues. notably in Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Northwestern and
Omaha. The buying of these stocks seemed
10 be wholly on investment considerations,
and there was no particular news bearing
upon any OF them.
The grangers were also strong and ac-
tive, the buying of those stocks being
doubtless TO some extent stimulated by the
remarkable increase of 81 per cent report
ed by the st. Paul Company for the first
week of January.
Another incident of the day was the
declaration of a dividend OF 10 per cent
on Louisville and Nashville out of the
earnings of the past six months. This is
the first dividend TO be declared upon the
stock since 1893, and in view of the earn
ngs of the company and the declared pol
icy OF the management il marks the perma-
nent return of the stock TO the dividend
list. The announcement of the dividend
was followed by a rapid advance in the
stock.
Foreign houses traded heavily against
both sides of the local market and were
sellers on balance Of moderate amount
of stocks. Other strong features were the
Pacific stocks, the Reading issues and
Southern Railway Aside from Sugar Re-
fining, the industrial stocks were not con-
spicuouS. and the stocks classed as special
ties were also rather neglected. The gen.
eral market closed strong and with con-
fident tone.
