CHARACTER OF TRADING.

The bears hammered the industrial stocks yes
terday and took another chance at Third Avenue,
which again made low record at 4oA The
other traction stocks weak in sympathy, room
traders selling Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Man
haitian. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, however, was
remarkably firm closing at small net gain Inc
heavy decline of the day was in Sugar Refining
stock, which sold by spectators and investors
the expectation of Il reduction in the dividend
next week. Keene brokers were active sellers. and
the so-caed Con olidated Exchange crowd was in
evidence. Peoples Gas fiercely attacked, and
the iron and steel stocks suffered big losses also
Consolidated Gas. The railroad stocks showed
splendid resistance to bear pressure and there was
little liquidation in them. Southern Railway issues,
Norfolk and Western. Union Pacific and Baltimore
and Ohio issues taken the recession by
strong interests. The heaviest buyers strong
financial interests and while attempt made
to support values good buyers stood ready to take
all offerings. Investment holdings in the railroad
stocks did not come the market. Expectation
of bad bank statement and higher rates for
money induced many timid traders to sell. Money
held steady at aa2la cent and the banking com
munity was not uneasy the future of the
market

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Money market rates were not materially changed
yesterday, while sterling exchange was again weak.
II will be interesting to watch the sterling market
for the next week for rates may decline to point
that will lead to gold imports. New-York IS not In
actual need OF foreign gold but receipts at this
time would serve to offset the heavy drain that the
Treasury Is making upon the banks. In the week
closed last night the Treasury took over 81 600 900
from the local institution, and the known move
ment OF money suggests loss to the banks OF all
accounts in cash OF about $1,000 600. The loan
count will II is thought show a further expansion.
and It is therefore likely that reserve above legal
requirements Will be considerably reduced Call
money ruled at 2a2la per cent yesterday, with time
funds unchanged from Thursday. Bankers not
worrying over the money situation. but stock mar
ket bears using the tight money argument ef-
fCctively. Money Is likely to become tight IN
less manipulation Of rates Is exercised. The Cur
rency bill will doubtless become a law next week.
and under it's provisions banks Will be able in
their circulation extent which, accord
ing 10 people will mean initiation. Well in
formed bankers do not look for high rates, eN-
cept perhaps passing fuctuation on the Stock Ex-

SUGAR STOCK SPECULATION.

a prominent Broad Street Spectator and certain
Consolidated Exchange interests who fame
and money in the December crash in values were
In great part responsible for the break in Sugar
Refining stock yesterday. For the first time since
August TO- 1896 the stock sold below par It's low
price for the day being 96ss. Under the coaxing OF
speculative interests which have been selling Sugar
short the Street has accepted a foregone con-
ciusion reduction OF the Sugar Refining dividend
March I, and some people even believe that the
dividend Will be passed II the dividend should be
maintained. such action would merely be In line
with the speculative record OF the company. II is
assumed. Of course. that the Sugar Refining Com
panys profits have been cut down. but state
ment is available showing the financial position OF
will do on the dividend question mere guess
work. Much has been said and written about the
cost of refining sugar. but these estimates to
be little better than good ideas. II should be borne
in mind that the American Sugar Refining Com
pany has resources not possessed by the indepen-
dent rehners and that. while the last named may
not have made a cent in the year. the trust has
paid big dividends and holds the greater part Of
the trade, despite active competition. While Sugar
stock has been OF the worst manipulated issues

of recognized business ability, and n the dividend
should be passed next week the company Will not

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Speculative liquidation and active bear pres
caused a weak stock market yesterday.
Manipulation in American Sugar Refining stock
started the decline, which, in the absence of sup
porting orders, ran TO large losses in many is
In Sugar Refining there appeared to be
heavy selling by the so-called Consolidated Ex-
change clique, assisted by a prominent Broad-st.
house. commonly known as Mr.. Keene's direct
representative. The campaign against Sugar
Refining is based on the theory that the March
dividend will be reduced passed. and the ag-
gressiveness of the bear element in the specula-
tion has been followed by considerable invest
ment liquidation from widely distributed hold
ings The American Sugar Refining Company
has always had large number of investors on
its books, and bear efforts TO reach this class
OF holdings appear to have been successful. No
one save the few insiders knows what action
the directors Will take at the coming dividend
meeting. and dealing in the stock at present on
any theory is extremely dangerous inasmuch as
such dealings represent a mere gamble what
a few men will do.
Third Avenue stock has hurt the market and
Sugar Refining bids fair to add to the injury.
But the harm has not involved actual values
. which with minor exceptions, stronger at
present than ever before on record. The Third
Avenue affair has not hurt the general public
but il has served tc check all desire the part
of the public to speculate. And the decline in
Sugar Refining is likely TO prove disastrous to
the general run OF spectators and to encourage
caution even to the extent of staying out of the
market among the ordinary commission house
customers. The industrial stocks all suffered
serious declines yesterday, but the railroad list
held up remarkably we'll a fear of higher
money rates was influence in the days deal
ings The known movement of money in the
week suggests a large loss in bank reserves
but money lenders do not appear TO be uneasy
the outlook
There selling by the more important
banking interests, but, the other hand buy
ing the decline came from substantial bank
ing sources. Intelligent men who buy stocks
outright watch railroad earnings rather than
temporary fluctuations in stocks, and in conse-
quence intelligent now buying good
stocks and taking them out of the Street. The
demand for the low priced stocks is improving.
and on all recessions yesterday this class of Sc
curity quickly absorbed. The railway
stocks naturally receded when the industrial
and traction issues were breaking, but at the
close their net losses were not important Third
Avenue made a new low record and Sugar Re
filming went below par for the first time since
1896.
