Sugar and Tobacco. lThe opening was
irregular with a tendency both here and
in London to take profits and prices
reacted moderately after the initial
trading. Professional traders sought
diligently to reach stop-loss orders.
Many shares eased off considerably
but a number of stocks showed marked
resistance, notably Brooklyn Transit,
Pullman, Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chica-
go and st. Louis, and Great Northern
preferred. st. Paul maintained point
advance on its remarkable statement
for the fourth week in December, show
ing an increase of nearly $252,000 in
gross earnings. A better tone devel-
oped in the afternoon and continued
until the close. Brooklyn Transit made
a total gain of points on its showing
of an increase of $664,657 in its gross
earnings for the year. There were
insistent rumors of pending deal
which insiders would not discuss, but
there were intimations that the con-
troll Of surface and elevated lines in
Brooklyn might come into the hands
of the company. Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, Chicago and ST. Louis advanced
three points on confident buying which,
it was conjectured, was due to a desire
of the parent company (Pennsylvania)
to form a closer connection with it's
western lines. While there was large
gains in many cases and the closing
was strong, the advance in standard
shares was generally moderate.
The rise in wheat stimulated interest
in many of the western railroad
shares. The advance of five points in
American Tobacco was unaccompanied
by any new developments in the prop
erty. There were large purchases by
interests identified with the company
and the movement was thought to be
manipulation against the short interest
which has recently been created by the
formation of rival concerns. The Read
ing stocks were pressed for sale in the
early hours and declined sharply. These
shares failed to respond to the subse-
quent general show of strength.
The bond market lapsed into dull
ness to-day, but there is no abatement
of the recent pronounced strength.

the poor Filipinos. Those two attacks
are disgrace to both branches of our
race.

BRITISH GUARD BAND.

this number the enthusiasm Oh lHe duo

American airs. 1t called forth but lit
tie response. but when the first notes of
Dixie were struck the crowd stormed,
applauded and yelled. And when has
Dixie been so played? The Britisher
knows how to play the tune of the fair
Southland
The Star SpangIed Banner and
"God Save the Queen brought the
vast audience to its feet, and cheers
and applause filled the house.
This number closed the programme.
''The British band is distincfively Il
band of artists. The style Of its music
differs from Sousa. as an Engiisnman
does from an American. 1t suggests,
more dignity and more classic study
and finish but lacks the brightness the
dash, the martial swing of So,lsa. Bo'h
are par excellence. Their tones blend
