MINING SHARES ARE HEAVY.
Boston Stock Market Was
characterized by
Dizziness.

There was good market in Wall
street, yesterday. in that prices were
steady to firm on a light volume of
trading.
Several specialties We're strong, Sugar
in particular, although the customary
irregularity was displayed in this fea-
ture. There was little of marked Inter
est in the market apart from Sugars
gyrations. It is period Of hesitation;
general comment favors the bear side
and in this the basis for sustained
strength, the rush to cover easily mark
ing up prices after considerable SELL
ing movement. In these tactics the
public has little interest; it holds aloof
and leaves the market to the traders.
The opening was quiet and changes
genarally were small and were divided
equally between gains and losses. Lit
tie effect was produced by declines Of
IL in Sugar and IA in Anaconda.
pennsylvania lost only g by the news
OF the death of the president OF the
company. Short sellers of Sugar an
parently oyerreaohed themselves. They
hanpered the price down to 14015, but
When they started to cover they'IOund
little stock offered and their efforts to
even up forced 1t to 144 by the end Of
the -frst hour. Local transportation
shares stiffened over a point and the
steal group was supported we'll A de-

but there were no important changes in
the other standard shares. Sugar and
Consolidated Gas again were attacked
and broke. 2g3 points. The market sold
off in sympathy on small transactions.
Towards noon Sugar was pressed be-
low 140, the earlier low point when a
point rally followed. Share losses
were registered in other specialtles.
but the dearth Of offerings stimulated 2
general rally Panhandle rose steadily,
touching 52&. Bonds were neglected.
but fairly steady. After noon trading
practically came TO a standstill outside
OF Sugar which drifted down and UP
again, the specialties responding Ian
guidly. There was a rather marked
demand for Louisville & Nashville at
advancing prices. At ? p. m. the aver
age of 25 leading stocks was 4 higher
than al the close yesterday.
PrObobly yesterday was the dullest
day in Boston specialties in more than
year Less than 1000 shares of nm
ing stocks Of all kinds changed hands
in the first half Of the day, and the af-
ternoon saw no improvement. Sugar
gave the only sign of animation; when
copper shares sold to any extent it was
at the expense of prices, the tendency
being heavy all day. Old Dominion
was off 1a4 at sc: Isle Royale IA, at
AZ; Butte sold. at II, against 70 yester-
day and 10 Saturday; Montana was not
traded in: Arcadian was off !, at 495;

Coal was firm, gaining 4, to SO. There
was nothing else calling for comment;

been seen.
