The tone OF the stock market yesterday
was weak, and II was made more so by
the declaration of the usual dividend on
Sugar stock, where an increase or an
extra dividend had been looked for. As
had been suggested by many careful mar
ket people quoted in this column the tech
nical conditions of the market have been
favorable to decline In prices. The pub
lie buying has exhausted itself for the
present and the professionals have neen
working hard for a reaction. With these
two factors TO contend with the insiders
seem to have decided that useless
amount OF energy would be expended in
keeping up the level. The result has
been dullness. with slight decline In the
price level nearly every day recently.
Yesterday saw extreme weakness in Sugar
and declines averaging half point per-
hasp in the active list aside from this
stock. Except for the Sugar episode the
session was an uninteresting one. Come
rally may be seen today on short cover
tngs. but further decline is looked for
later.

Money was loaned at LIP per cent. The
banks have lost to the Sub Treasury since
last Friday about $2,30O.0O0. The bank
statement is likely to be poor again and
the money lenders may attempt this week
or next to manipulate call loan rates. No
important or permanent advance In the
rates need be feared however, rs the
supply Of money is really ample. The re-
port Of the Secretary of tie Treasury yes

1t is believed by people who have good
sources of Information that there is at
present no sugar war and that both the
Trust and the sArbucklcs have decided to
make money this winter instead of hav-
ing cut rate fight. II this is fact it is
not improbable that sharp decline now,
if it comes, may he followed by an i'm
portant boom in the stock. The decla:a-
tion of the usual dividend yesterday may
indeed be only part of the game to get
the public out of the stock at a low price
and allow the insiders to load up. In any
event trading in the stock by anyone out
side of the inner ccterie is a gamble of
the worst kind. with all the chances
against success.

The steel securities were weak again,
Wire common being the feature and ID
eral Steel common an exception. nh re
was no news regarding the steel trade or
any of these securities. Wire stock
seems likely to have some rally around
its present level If the market in general
is in the least favorable. 1t got to 40 L.
yesterday. The decline has bes n sharp
and important one. and even il 1t is all
deserved seine recovery would be only
ma ;,Iral. Many believe Federal Steel COM
mon will hold its own and not go below
IS or &c again before it makes a big ad-
vance. There is some buying Of the stock
for investment, but purchasers should lie
careful to get in on the recessions and
not on the bu!ges, as the position OF the
group is evidently an uncertain and risky
one after the Gates sand-bag coup.
