Stocks.

Denver and Rio Grande, which made eX-
IRENE advances of points each. Atchl-
son preferred, which of late has been a
bear target, made an advance of about Z
points on transactions of 100000 shares
Among the other strong stocks We're CieVe-
land, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. LOUIS,
Des Moines and Fort Dodge, Manhattan,
Mobile aud Ohio. Lake Erie and West

made average advances of points, aside
from the last mentioned which rose ana
lost half of il. New York New Haven
and Hartford advanced points, and New
York Air Brake, after an initial break of
4 points rose 9. London was a seller on

sure and commission house realizations.
The reaction reached a point in only a
few shares, which embraced some of the
specialties. Louisville, New Jersey Central
and Pittsburg. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi

recessions on the appearance of buying
orders. which caused a renewed advance,

days close. Sugar was attacked, thus
checking the rise elsewhere Finally, af-
ter feverish fluctuations, Sugar ended with
a small gain.
The reported gold Developments in Colo

Grandc and its semi-annual statement
was also a supporting factor. Manhat-
tan'5 rise was probably on advance IN
formation of the provisions for a loan
for electrical equipment. The bears, as
usual, sought to bring about a reaction in
