tons In the stock were enormous All
sorts OF sensational rumors were afioat
regarding measures for compromise OF
the sugar trade war, and there were in
timations that the opposition refners had
been emulating the eample of the Met
ropolitan Street Railway interests in the
Third Avenue coup by acquiring Sugar
stock at the decline. At all events shorts
in the stock were acutely perturbed and
scrambled to obtain stock The local
traction stocks furnished the other sur
prise in the market, and, like Sugar, de-
veloped aggressive strength in the face
OF bad news The demand in this group
undoubtedly came from the shorts With
the exception of preliminary drive
which carried the stocks down from IL
to points, the whole group was eagerly
bought all day, rising well above last
nights figures and not falling far below
that level again. Peoples Gas and a
number of the iron and steel stocks by
rising sharply completed the demonstra-
ton Of strength in the Industrial group.
The demand for the railroads seemed TO
have quoted down for the time being,
with the exception Of stock here and
there in the list which showed good ad-
vance. Prof1t-taking was the motive OF
the selling. But the pressure upon the
money market incident TO the quarterly
settlement next week which was mani
fest in foreign markets even more than
here, had its influence fl checking the
buying movements. As the buying Of
the specialties was largely TO cover short
contracts, il was not Influenced by
money market considerations. There was
no stiffness in the rates for money, but
preliminary figures of tomOrrow's bank
statement failed 70 indicate so strong
return as has been counted upon.
Closing prices of stocks were as follows:

frene heavy hogs The bulk Of the sales
