THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading was made up in great
part Of the transactions Of the professional ele
ment. but in few stocks a good demand from
commission houses noted. The Wabash and
the Pacific issues. pennsylyania and New-York
Central were taken by Il good class OF buyers
and sharp advances recorded in these
stocks while throughout the railroad list ris-
ing tendency was generally reported in the early
dealings. In Sugar Refining marked strength
attended the course Of the stock IN the greater
part Of the day It may be that something more
than manipulation is responsible for the move
nent in Sugar Refining certificates, but so far
as can be learned from official sources a settle
ment of the trade war in the sugar industry will
not be factor OF the immediate future. As
per cent investment Sugar stock is not dear
1t 113. 1t should be borne in mind. however
that the next dividend period is not far dis
tant and that official utterances several weeks
ago suggested a further reduction in the divi-
dend rate. and possibly total suspension of in
vestment returns. Sugar is easily manipulated
and II is a good stock for small speculators to
leave alone It's claim to the name of a dan
gerous speculation was proved in the late deal
angs yesterday, when il suddenly sold down five
points closing ar net loss OF over four points
II would be fortunate thing for speculation
II lhe hshuns interests in the gas and sugar
companies could reach an amicabIe agreement
FDut continuation Of the various local trada
wars is not inturing the value of investments in
general The great railroads of the country
are not concerned in the trade fights Of this
city. The agricultural community is not inter
ested in Consolidated Gas or American Sugar
Refining, and the general productive energies
cf The country are not dependent upon settle
ment Of gas and sugar troubles Investors in
F1ndustrial concerns which cut one another's
fhroats may do well to transfer their interest
TO companies which not using their earnings
TO carry on trade disagreemepts and in view
OF the current attractive level Of good railroad
securities II would seem that change from
sugar or gas to the railroads would be In line
with business prudence and sound sense
Buying Of the Wabash issues was again q

OF cheap stocks such Wabash preferred re-
11ects the favorable position Of the roads whose

the measure Of actual worth In the final deal
inss Sugar stock declined sharply, and the en-
tire list sold off in sympathy. There WAS pood
