The bond market was again notably firm,
particularly for the issues of the class of

demand for these securities is reflection
of the strong investment situation, which
has shown little change throughout the re-
action in the stock market. The deal
ings in the standard grade Of stocks today
were in rather small volume. and, as
rule, these stocks lost ground on the days
transactions. The liquidation of a large
Western brokerage house, was generally
accounted responsible for the comparative
heayiness of the granger and Pacific shares
apart from the uncertainty attending the
agricultural situation. Foreign houses
were moderate buyers of stock in this
market which circumstance together with
the slight advance in American stocks in
London caused a higher range of prices
at the opening. The market subsequently
developed the irregularity OF tone that has

MARKET INTEREST {
Again 1t Is the Conspicuous
Feature of Trading.
Heavy Transactions in The Stock
With Wide Fluctuations.
A Less Gloomy View of the Franchise
Tax measure Strengthens New
York Traction Shares.

New York, May 23.-It has often been
the case in former positions OF quietude
in the stock market that Sugar Refining
has. on one preteXt or another, been made
what is called the leader or feature of
the market. There have at times been
reasons why speculative interest in the
stock should be especially keen, as, for
example, when changes in the rates of
dividend or when changes in questions of
policy were under consideration, or, fur
ther, pehaps when the tariff was under
revision by Congress. These were all mat
ters of vital importance as regarded the
market level of the stock, hence when
they or any of them engaged general at
tention il was logical that the stock
should be the object OF heavy specu atiye
venture. Nothing of this sort obtains at
the present time, but in todays market
as in yesterdays. Sugar Refining was the
conspicuous feature in wide fluctuations
resulting from very heavy dealings. No
body should be deceived by the recurrent
stock jobbing rumors of 4 settlement Of
the current trade war in the sugar REIN
ing trade. II may not be generally known
that when there was a prospect for set
tlement in which the outside refneries
company group of capitalists was at
once formed, which would have built a
new refinery with which to enter into
competition with the projected amalga-
mated concern. This was what checked
the settlement of the present differences
and what forced upon the minds of the
managers of the warning refners the fact
that peace can only be had through the
defeat of one or the other of the contest
ants. Compromise means fresh competi-
tion. and it is absurd to suppose that the
astute managers of the American company
will waste their time and money in such
necessarily abortive operations.
Rather less gloomy news seems TO pre-
vail today in regard TO the effects of the
Misunderstanding measure now before the
extra session of the Legislature. The
pending legislation, together with the ag-
ricultural situation, absorbed the greater
part of the days discussion that was not
taken up by the gyrations OF Sugar Re
fining Consolidated Gas and the local
traction shares were firmer than for some
time, and several of the grodp scored
sharp advances. The days traffic returns,

news; in fact, it WAS worse, If anything,
than it has been. The market was almost
entirely professional with very little out
side trade. There was some foreign buy
ing, but the other side shows little SYM
pathy with the rise here. There were 100,-
600 bushels Of wheat taken here for export,
but the demand is generally poor. The
worlds visible decreased !, 1,000, coo bushels
against 100000 bushels increase last year.

The times., 1899-05-24

The Steel and Iron securities were all
strong in the early part of the day, with
the general market and all weak later.
Net losses we're made by this entire group
and the closing prices were the lowest for
the day. Federal Steel common went as low
as 5S rs, and the preferred as low as
50 SIS These prices like those of the Steel
and Wire stocks were not quite as low
as were reached on Monday, but nOtwith-
standing this fact the closing prices for the
day were lower than on Monday. The iron
and steel trade continues to exhibit all
the great prosperity that has characterized
it during the past year, nearly every day,
in fact, recording some advance in price.
The bears are hard pressed for an argu-
ment against this group. They suggest
that the trade is now in such a fine con-
dition that it cannot be any better, which,
on the whole, must be considered one of
the weakest attempts ever offered by
them. There is buying of all these stocks
every day for investment, and the time
cannot be far off when they will all sell
much higher. 1t is now semi officially an
nounced that a dividend of Ia or l IL
will be paid on the common Federal Steel
next month 1t is understood that con-
siderably more than this amount has been
earned for the stock already this year, be-
side the entire per cent for the preferred
stock for the year.
