Stocks-There was not much doing
in the stock market to-day. The mar
ket sold off at the opening, on real
izing and on the heavy tone impaired
by sympathy with London. Sales of
securities for London account contln-
ued to-day, on a moderate scale. The
call money rate in London, neverthe-
less dropped a fraction to-day, and
sterling exchange in Paris advanced,
but in Berlin declined. There is a
renewal of anxiety over the Transvaal
question. which had Its effect in for
eign stock markets, and was a factor
in the reflected early depression here.

erican Tobacco forged upward again,
its gain reaching nearly three points,
and holding we'll near the top. Sugar
