racite trade because of the cold weather was
assigned as a reason for the rise In these
stocks, although the advance In the price OF
coal predicted for the beginning OF the, year
failed to materialize. Tho increase in east
bound shipments and the rumored restoration
of trunk line rates were supporting factors
in the stocks concerned.
Money displayed somewhat hardening
tendency, the range being from 3 to 1 per
cent; closing loans at the lesser figure. This
advance In money was without appreciable ef-
feet ON stocks, which closed at about the
best In many cases. American Sugar refining
