THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Efforts were made by the professional ele-
ment to lower values in yesterdays market,
but prices showed remarkable frnness and net
gains In many issues at the close. The traction
shares, Sugar Refining and the industrial stocks
in general were in demand from good class Of
buyers, and the only success enjoyed by the
bears in the railroad list which suffered
small reactions in the early trading. The short
interest in Southern Pacific is said to be large.
The decline in this stock in the last few days
appears to have been due to manipulation but
the extent of the decline has not been large
enough to encourage further short sales at the
current level. Southern Pacific and all the Pa
ciic stocks will. it is believed by conservative
Judges sell many points above ruling prices
before the end of the present year. Short sales
for more than a turn do not appeal to careful
operators at the moment. And from all indi-
cations ii is safe to assume that extended short
sales will not be profitable for many weeks to
come
Some stocks are high enough, but there are
many issues that ought to go higher in order
10 measure their actual worth. The soft and
hard coal shares entitled to better prices,
except Jersey Central. which is at a level fully
commensurate with its intrinsic worth The
Pacific stocks, some of the Changers and the
greater number of cheap issues, such South
common Wabash preferred, Norfolk and West
ern and ST. Louis and San Francisco second
preferred, worth more than-the prices at
which they are now selling. New-York Central
and Pennsylvania as per cent stocks are high
enough If their prospects do not favor increased
dividend returns. But it is generally admitted
that both stocks will sell above $50, and that
their dividend rates will be substantially in
creased. The greater number of stocks not
selling above at their real worth, but this
fact does not preclude the possibility of lower
prices before materially higher prices are
reached. The market has had big advance,
and a setback may be looked for any day
Without change in underlying conditions each
setback should however, be followed by sub
stantial improvement, and, noted before,
short sales should not be profitable beyond
quick turns. Final changes were not important
in the general list yesterday, net gains and
losses being about evenly distributed.

THE TRADE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, April (SpeciaD.-May corn. which
touched 42c yesterday sold as low to-day 39ssc

mined bear effort by Cudahy. a fine spring day

the close was on support given by these bull in

working hard for break. possibly with the idea
OF getting In cheap again. As corn has been

SOUTHERN PACIFIC HARMONY.

The Tribune is able to say official authority
that the circulated reports OF discord among the
leading interests in the Southern Pacific Company
are absolutely without foundation. The recent
Southern Pacific meeting was harmonious in every
respect and the principal banking interests in the
company voted unit, proxies for all being given
to C. P. Huntington. A large short interest exists
in Southern Pacific stock, and of trouble
in the Board have been put out by spectators for
effect upon the security The report that Southern
Pacifc's earnings falling off is also untrue 1t
is understood that the Southern Pacific has de-
cded to retire nearly 81 100000 of Central Pacific
3a per cent bonds leaving less than 500 900 600 of the
bonds outstanding. These bonds at the ruling level
yield over Az per cent the investment. and 1t is
thought that they will work a much higher

Sugar Refining and the local traction issues were

SUGAR REFINING's ADVANCE.

Over 10000 shares of American Sugar Refining
stock certificates traded in on the Stock Elk
change yesterday, and the price enjoyed net
gain for the day of points. Various
companied the movement. but develop
ments were present to account for the advance.
Brokers active in the stock said that William
Rockefeller heavy buyer. and the statement
was S1ade that the independent refiners had Joined
hands with Boston and Philadelphia interests to
control of the company. 1t is admitted that
the only way to end the sugar is through the
stock market, and the purchase of control of the
Sugar Refining Company by it's competitors would
not therefore cause marked surprise in Wall
Street. The more important houses that bought
the stock yesterday were Ladenburg, Thalmann
& Co, Van Emburg & Atterbury F. w. Savin &
Co.. Halle & stieglitz and j. 5. Bache & Co.
