THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market was practically lifeless yes
terday With the exception of the dealings in
Sugar Refining and several other volatile specu-
lative issues, there was almost nothing doing,
the railroad shares in particular exhibiting every
symptom of suspended animation. Efforts in
the morning to reduce prices were not success
full and in consequence traders generally
bullish for turn. Sugar Refining stock was
again in demand from the shorts in the early
dealings and the trade war settlement reports
were as much in evidence as Tuesday,
while according to Street opinion the rumors
received confirmation in the advance in sugar
prices by all the contending interests. The busy
season for the sugar companies is approaching
and an advance in the raw and refined products
is not unusual at this period of the year. Street
opinion, however, is confident that the advance
IS a certain Indication of coming adjustment
of the sugar trade difficulties. Railroad shares
were neglected, but prices were generally firm,
with decided strength in Northern Pacific. Union
Pacific and Burlington In the late dealings
abrupt declines were made in Sugar Refining
and few other active speculative issues. AS a
rule, however. final changes were at small net
gains.
The movement of values in the current mar
ket furnishes no basis upon which to make pre-
dictions of the probable future course of prices
A heavy shrnkage in values has taken place in
the last year, ana STOCKS are not nelu Dy weak
commission house traders, by people who are
afraid that coming developments will reduce
the intrinsic worth of securities. Current hold
ers appear confident that declines in market
quotations will not be accompanied by actual
depreciation in the real worth of investments
but bear traders argue to the contrary. It is
generally admitted that trade reaction is in
progress, but it should be borne in mind that
stock quotations have been dscounting this
action for a long time. The discoCnting process
in Wall Street, however, has habit of running
beyond the limits of sense and reason, and with
not be too optimistic the outlook for
sustained bull movement at present The back
ing and filling of the current market do not
suggest movement in either direction. In dull
days stocks are controlled by the professional
element, but in the present case this control is
somewhat limited, owing to the scarcity of
stocks available for speculative purposes.

W. AND L. f. REFUNDING PLAN.

1t is said that the reason distinction was
made in the securities offered in exchange for the
Wheeling division extension and Improvement
and Toledo Belt bonds. Notwithstanding the differ
ence in the market price. that each of these
divisional bonds had advantages not possessed by
the others For instance. the Wheeling division
could not get access for traffic originating on its
division TO many of the most important industries
supplied by it. except over the extension and i'm
provement and Toledo Belt divisions While it
is true that the extension and Improvement mort
gage is first mortgage a less number of miles
than that covered by the Wheeling division it does
have access to large number of manufacturing
plants producing large revenue to the whole sys-
TEN. and a large percentage of the increased
earnings shown during the last year comes from
business secured from industries along the line
of the extension and Improvement division. 1t is
also the only mortgage covering the entire system
of the Wheeling and Lake Erie road before IL ac-
quired the Cleveland Canton and Southern
