NEW YORK. March 2.-The Stock Mar
ket onened active and heavy. with pro-
nouuced pressure appearing III all Of the
so-callcd steel industrials. National steel,
Steel Hoop. Federal Steel and Steel and
Wire were all severely depressed on fears
that the threatened labor troubles in Chi
cago might result in q general strike, and
also because of the recommendations Of
the Industrial Commission. published yes
terday, respecting the operation Of these
companies Other very weak features OF
the market were Sugar Refining and Third
Avenue. the latter stock establishing a
new low level. Nothing that was new
bearing upon either Sugar or Third Ave
nue. came to light.
The railway list was fractionally lower
in sympathy with the decline in the stocks
named but the dealings there were in very
light volume and the trading developed
no features of particular interest. The
London market was reported dull, with
the majority of American stocks showing
slight advances Little. however, was done
here for foreign account.
The SHARES OF jne American sugar ne
fning Company sold at the lowest price
that has been recorded for them since 1898.
In that year they sold as low as 107 -.
Today they declined on the Stock EX-
change, with dealing very heavy. 20 102.
There was considerable liquidation and
also evidences of some manipulation. To-
days high point was l03 "a. made at the
opening which was attended by large sell
ing orders which on the decline Uncover
ed many stop orders When par was
reached there was rush 20 sell until the
decline extended Ia points.
Cause for the decline was found IN The
persistent rumors that the next sugar diyi-

week. would be cut in two and made ] IL
instead of the usual per cent While
Mr.. Havemeyer the president Of the com
panE. has made no direct statement tC that
effect. he has not denied that some such
action would be taken. and his silence has
led bears on the stock TO circulate reports

Further weakness in Third Avenue lhls

market and with the poor bank statemeht

confidence OF the bears the early part OF

made a new low price record, below 40, and
seemed quite capable of reaching A. al any
time the price at which il viii have de-
clined geo points from its high Sugar also
was weak and early in the day was selling
below IO2 with a fair chance Of reaching
mar before the close. Business was eXees-
siyely dull except in these and one or two
other securities. and this perhaps was the
hest feature of the market. II showed ihat
as heretofore when the bears were selling
the speciaties the holders of the standard
issues were unwilling to part with their
stock London was buyer of Americans,
and London exchange was weak Flnan-
cial people say that with the price of cot
Ton so high and the demand so great, there
is excellent likelihood of impOrtations OF
gold in the course Of the next few weeks.
II seems entirely likely that prices may
be weak until the bank statement appears
tomorrow recovery is due then, even
