Stocks-The market had nlgnly
professional appearance to-day with
marked irregularity in the specialtles
wheer interest centered and moderate
improvements in the railways which
were comparatively neglected. An
easier tendency appeared early sympa-
thetically with London quotations and
prices moved nervously in the general
market while among the specialties
fluctuations were in many cases Sensa-
tional. Sugar after slight rally
broke to 1913 and then rallied, moved
about aimlessly and finally jumped to
1863, eased off, but retained 61a points
of it's advance. Brooklyn Transit
dropped off sharply, but recovering left
off fractionally above yesterdays fig
ures. Manhattan was lifted over 3
points. Third Avenue regained much
of its loss of yesterday, closing .
points higher on the day in connection
with amendment of the Amsterdam
revenue bill. On talk of an extension
of the local gas war Consolidated Gas
dropped seven points, half of which it
regained. Continental Tobacco and
American Tobacco AS and "a respec-
lively, and left off at the lowest New
points on small offerings and recovered
only 3. Fears that the Westinghouse
Injunction suit against General Eiec-
trio might disrupt the friendly rela-
lions of these companies resulted IN
break of over points IN General
Electric, although a slight rally fol-
lowed. American Steel and wire was
strong and Federal Steel was sympa-
thetically SO to a lesser extent. Inc
Anthracite coalers, particularly the
Readings and Jersey Central, made
material progress upward. Realizing
in the Readings caused an easing OH
from the best. A somewhat hardening
and the market closed strong. GOOD
support was noted in some quarters OF
the bond list, but there was llqu1da-
ton in other sections which caused
some irregularity. The increase TO
money Influenced more general buying
of the better known semi-sDeculatlve
mortgages. Total sales $2,O55,OOO.

the latter, but in the street they were
inclined to sag.
