SUGAR IS IBE STUFF
But 1t Gives Its Patrons a
Plenty of trouble.
AXES OF THE REFINERS
Are Touched Up for the Pub
lies Enlightenment.

New York, May 23.-An effort was
made to repeat yesterdays lively demon
stration in Sugar, in a hope that the
traders would find sufficient price move
ment in that stock to yield profits on the
days turn, but the stock developed its
vance to any marked extent, or to hold
what moderate gain was made. Its ex-
IRENE range was 2$4 and it closed with a
net loss Of &c. The Street was flooded
with tips" this morning, promising a
repetition of yesterdays sudden jump,
but the professional traders took on
stock quite literally. The closing out Of
short contracts yesterday left the mar
ket without support on that account, and
the buying did not extend much beyond
the ranks of the professional bulls. In
spite of the announcement of a further
advance of 10 cents hundred pounds in
refined sugar made by the American COM
pany and followed by the other refiners
there was not sufficient demand for the
stock to enable the traders to take their
profits and the price was brought back
to about where 1t started under the
pressure of that process. Today's ad-
vance in the price Of refined sugar
makes a total of 15c a hundred pounds
during the week and the quick response
made by all the companies to the adj
vance gave color to the persistent asser-
ton that a working agreement has been
arrived at between the rival companies.
The fact Of a concurrent advance at the
end Of the dull season in the trade and
with the large demand incident to the
canning season to be met, detracts from
the protestations, made with official
sanction, that business is conducted I'M
der present conditions on ruinous terms
and that an irrepressihle conflict stll
RACES between the refners. American
Tobacco made a further advance today
which was better held than that os Su-
gar, and the price of Brooklyn Transit
was bid up sharply when large buying
orders were detected In the stock. In the
general list there was some show of
firmness early IN the day. but It was not
we'll held in any case, and prices OF
some railroad stocks drifted below last
nights level. The Pacifics made the
best show OF strength. especially North
ern Pacific, which was affected by ru-
mors of an increased dividend rate, and
was benefited also by the timely rains in
the northwestern wheat country.
The small shipment Of gold for Europe (

Daniel r. Collier, of Lancaster, ad-

timony the written word of Governor

PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES.
YankUon Experiencing the Result of Too
Much Summer Rain

Yankton, :. D.. Aug. 4-Yankton is
being visited by i scourge of mos
quitOS. Over thirteen inches of rain
during the month of July has filed all
the Lake beds 10 overlooking. and all
low ground has been converted into
swamps. StaGnant water and cloudy
weather have been ideal for breeding.
and the resultant insect must be the
admiration of his kind, as he is the
terror of man and beast. All south
eastern South Dakota is infected. and
the plague is much more than a joke.
During the heat of the day they
shun the open sunshine and seek the
close shade and grass where the in
cautious stir them up in clouds. In
the evening they come forth vigorous
and savagely hungry and take full pos
session OF the entire land. In livery
barns all doors and windows have to
be kept closed and no lights used.
Busses and hack drivers have smudges
at their stands to keep their horses
from running away to escape the in
sects. No relief is expected until dry
weather and heat kill off the vermin.
