The movement in Sugar stock yesterday
and today cllmaXed a remarkable career
during the past two or three weeks. The
stock shot below par several points. ad-
Yanced again 10 10, tumbled TO 81. and
yesterday. after opening a. 9S spurted TO
ll2 and closed at 10. This morning it
opened at 1O6, advanced to III 1-2 and then
declined 10 107 and a fraction. The best in
formed people outside the charmed inner
Havemeyer circle. are at sea regarding the
meaning OF these spasms. but il may be
said very positively that some Of the best
houses in the street are now looking for
a settlement of the Sugar war at last. 1t
is known that Havemeyer brokers were
heavy buyers of the stock on Thursday and
yesterday, and there is excellent reason for
asking the question why this should be If
Mr. Havemeyer is so utterly hopeless as his
recent voluminous interviews would indi-
cate II was whispered among usually we'll
informed people yesterday afternoon that
this versatile gentleman, after saying that
there was no chance of settlement of the
war, had sent out an invitation to two at
least of his opponents TO take dinner with
him last night. If this is a fact the move
made by the stock yesterday will probably
be considered small before many days are
passed. The bearishness regarding Sugar
has been aggressive and vociferous. No
matter what may happen to the stock in
the near future, il has advanced enough
already to wipe out a great many of the
shorts. Perhaps after all this is all that
has occurred. The street always must have
stories to explain quick moves in stocks
but, Of course. the larger part Of them are
simply manipulation without any reason.

ARE BONDS ILLEGAL?
An Important Discovery Has Been
Made By District Attorney
R. G. Gortner.
$1SS,600 WORTH OF BONDS
A Question As to the Validity of Large
Batch of Railroad Bonds Watch
fulness of the Present Dis
triot Attorney.

District Attorney r. c. Gortner has
A'od in the district court a return to
one of the n2atncamLs suits 10 compel
the payment of certain interest coupons
against the county, which raises new
question as to the alleged validity of q
portion of the railroad aid bonds that
have been hanging over our people. It
appears that the act OF congress of Jam
uary 16, 1897, validated and confirmed
"the certain bonds and Indebtedness,
$175,000 in amount" dated March /, 1892,
of the county. 1t is discovered by coun-
ty records that the bond issue of March
l, 1892 amounts to $1Ss,6O0. The conciu-
sion Is apparent that the entire issue
Is not validated and that the portion
If any, Is not identified; con-
sequently the bonds Of the date Of
March l, 1892 are not expressly or ex-
actly made valid by the act of congress.
With their accrued interest, these bonds
of March l. 1892, amount to over $3.50, 900.
and the point raised by the district at
torney, If upheld by the court, will re-
lieve the county from that portion of its
onerous debt at least. The reasoning is
perfectly sound, that no
holder Of a bond of March /. 1892, can
say that his is the bond which Is vali-
dated because the entire Issue Is not
specified In the act Of congress. Some
Of them are invalid at least. How can
any one say which are valid and which
are not? And how can any suit based
On any one of these bonds prevail as
against the county?
This Is an extremely nice legal point,
and it's decision is being awaited by the
with much interest and ca
gerness. 1t speaks we'll for the watch
fulness, energy, keen sense and ability
Of Mr.. Gortner that he has discovered
this very important point.
