NEW YORK, Sept; 4;-The fever in
American Sugar refining stock, which has
been undergoing process of careful
nursing Tor several weeks past, broke
into crisis today, as is not unusual on the
eve or dividend action on this stock. The
apparent liquidation Of the long stock,
and the courageous pressure by the bears
continued even this morning until the di-
rectors went into session. about which
time the stock touched the low point at
lTA. After the adjournment of the d.
rectors at 1890 o'clock, there was a ru-
NOR tnat the directors. had determined 10
put the stock on an annual dividend basis
OF 8 per cent by declaring a quarterly
dividend OF 2 per cent today. No Of
nclal announcement of the directors ac-
tlon could be learned. But the urIfor-
tunate shorts were evidently convinced
that the report was well founded and
they ran the stock mp o51a points with
their ager demands for 600 and . Oon
share lots. The price sagged off a point
but stiffened again to about the best al
the close. American Steel & Wire also
got back to the top at 13s over fridays
price after its early movement had an
parently proved abortive. The steel grotIu
as whole failed to respond and Ten
nessee Coal and National Steel there was
not single sale during the day. The
as whole failed to respond and in Ten
railroad list as a whole continued much
neglected. Great Northern preferred was
conspicuous for a rise of IL. There was
no indication. however. Of any general
awakening from the recently prevailing
speculative apathy, and the news of the
day found no reflection in the stock mar
ket.
