THE STOCK MARKET
STRONG AND ACTIVE
Sugar Refining Continues the
Leading Feature.
The Standard Issues Show De-
cided Inclination to Sag.
Newly Listed Industrial shares
Heavy-Speculative Attention Di-
vertcd TO the Outside Market.

New York, March 1.-THE stock market
opened notably strong and active notwith
standing the indications that money would
continue to rule close throughout the day
and despite the general expectations that
another heavy reduction in the banks sur
plus reserve would appear in tomorrow's
| statement of averages. London sales in
this market and the irregular price changes
| in American stocks shown in the early
cabled advices were likewise disregarded.
In general way the new buying power
disclosed in the dealings could be referred
first to the growing belief that the end of
the money stringency is measurably within
sight, and second to the unquestionable
FLIP given to the more professional spec
ulative sentiment by yesterdays remark
able advance in Sugar Refining stock.
The strongest feature of the market,
apart from Sugar Refining, were Brooklyn
! Rapid Transit, Peoples Gas, Tennessee
Coal and Iron, and the Colorado South
ern issues. The list named shows that
interest was still most favorably disposed
toward the so-called specialties. The gran
ger shares, the Pacific stocks, New York
Central, and the other standard issues all
opened very strong, but were inclined to
sag with the course of the day. Manhat-
tan Railway was traded in exclusive of
dividend and the right to subscribe to the
new issue of SIS, 1000, 600 stock. The stock
declined from its opening figures, but after
making the above allowances it still ruled
above yesterdays final price. There was
no special explanation of the reactionary
course of prices after the early dealings.
particularly as the money market grew
steadily easier with the course of the day
The newly listed industrial shares were
all rather heavy, and the Steel and Wire
stocks and Continental Tobacco stocks
| showed pronounced pressure. The chief
features of the outside situation were pro-
nounced weakness in grain and cotton. The
market closed duh and heavy.
The comparative apathy which has pre-
vailed in the speculation on the stock ex-
change of late has diverted a good deal of
attention to the so-called outside market
which has become an interesting adjunct
to the stock market. This outside market
has furnished the initial place for transac-
tions in most of the newly-listed industrial
stocks, and the brokers there are now
| handling the stock of the Bay State Gas
Company, which was recently ordered from
the unlisted department of the exchange.
The trading in the outside market is now,
however, heaviest in the stocks of the
various companies which are the offshoots

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
A Drop of Another Cent in Wheat
Fails to Revive the Demand.

Chicago, March 17.-Wheat lost another
cent at the heels of the outbreak OF
Thursday. Gables fully reflected yes
terday's weakness on this side Argentine
shipments were over two million bushels.
There were very clear signs that yester-
days selling had not completed the liqui-
dation. California is still getting rain.
There is mild weather over the entire
winter wheat belt. Nothing was more dis
couraging to the persistent bulls than the
claim from cash people that the decline
here did not seem to revive any demand.

Yesterdays stock market was a most in
teresting one, with considerable volume
of business and quick fluctuations in prices.
On the whole, it was much stronger than
had been expected by the Street general
" The close showed good gains in some
stocks and small losses in others. The
history of the day is of a big movement
in Sugar again in the early trading. which
lent strength to the entire list, until L
o'clock and after that of general recess
sions induced by tighter money and the
fear of bad bank statement. 1t is to
be noted, however that the buying in the
morning was excellent at times, and the
advances good, while the recessions in the
afternoon were due largely to realizing
and were made on small lots of stock To-
days market will depend largely on the
bank statement. Many believe that in the
general list there will be further recessions
early in the day, discounting a poor state
ment. On the whole, good bank show
ing should not be expected, but ii is pre-
dicted on good authority that 1t will be
no worse than last weeks. II a bad
statement is thus discounted. a fairly good
one, such as that of last week. would be
followed by a strong market at the close
AS for next week, there is little expecta-
ton that the boom will begin, but fairly
strong market is hoped for. Stocks will
be bought on all reactions. and ii is not
believed that prices will go lower than
this weeks level.
Sugar at no time reached the highest
level of Thursday, but the stock was
strong all day, and apparently there was
good inside buying. Within a few minutes
the stock had been put up to lGi, and, aft
er some hesitation and realizing another
move was to l67 "a, the highest for the
day. The close was at 164 1-2. Despite
denials by the trust and the opposition, it
is believed by the Street that some under
standing has been reached. which will
allow the trust TO refine sugar hereafter
with the old profits. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the movement in the stock is not
yet over, and that Sugar will be another
Tobacco in the rapidity OF its advance.
The advance in Sugar was again the chief
feature of the market, and the strength of

Irrigation & Ogden Waterworks COM
pany came up for trial before Judge
Johnson in the Second district court
yesterday. This is the first time the
case has been on trial on its merits.
Heretofore the hearings have all been
upon motions or objections and sup
elemental pleadings, necessftating
many delays and continuances.
But three witnesses were disposed of
yesterday-Jeseph and Sylvester Parry
and Adolph Lyman. Their evidence
tended to show the amount of water
appropriated by the Marriott Irrigation
company from Ogden river and also by
individual appropriations through whom
the plaintiff derived their title to the
water in controversy.

the court the entire week and possibly
longer.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Ogden People Are Interested In
Many There.

The news of the serious woundlng Of
Parker ]. Hall Of battery was :a@2
with much regret by his many Ogden
friends, but it was generally remarked
that the hospital patients would gain
a jolly comrade, and if he should have
to suffer an amDutation he would joke
the doctor while the latter was WELD
ing the saw and knife.
Every scrap of news from Manila was
read with the keenest interest. and it
so happened that number of letters
from boys at the front arrived in the
mail Of yesterday.
Mrs. George B. Wardlow has received
several from her husband, one of them
giving a detailed account of the en-
gagement IN which Wardlaw was
wounded. Wardlaw and Hall were
manning a gun which was planted in
the middle of the road. Bullets were
pattering down all about them for
about half an hour, when a. Mauser pro-
jectile struck Wardlaw in the ankle,
bringing him to the ground. Chamber
lain of Ogden rushed out and carried
Wardlaw to cover. DR.. Harry Young
attended TO the injury then and there,
and ordered Wardlaw sent to the hos
pital, fearing one of the ankle bones
was broken Dr. Young COMMUNICATED
Wardlaw on doing his duty SO man
fully, and Major Young did likewise,
paying him a visit at the hospital later,
when he repeated the praise for Ward
laws work and courage. All through
Wardlaw's letters occur bits of descrip-
ton, grave and gay, and giving samples
of funny sayings uttered by Hall.
While in the hospital WardlaW over
heard one of the officers, in describing
the operations, say: Those - -
Mormons fight like -.
Corporal WardlaW's wound did not
detain him long, and he was at the
front when the last letter was written.
Lieutenant Seaman's wound was in
the fieshy part of the leg, and he was
expected to rejoin his command in a
short time when the letter was written.
