The stock market hardly fulfilled expec-
cations yesterday. The street had great
hopes that there would be an active day
and advancing prices after the fine close
on Thursday. The opening was strong and
active, and during the entire morning bust
ness was fairly good. but later dizziness
ensued OF a most persistent and disap-
pointing kind Prices held remarkably
well all day, however, and the bulls did
not lose hope OF further advances today and
Monday. News was not important, but not
oearish, either. The dispatches from

MORE STRENGTH IN SUGAR.
Wil1ctt & Gray Report Conditions
in the Market.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-The sugar mar
ket continues to exhibit notable strength.
There was say Willett & Gray, IAN
unusually large demand for refined sugars
during the week, causing an increase in
MEETINGS and an advance of 10 per cent
per 100 pounds in quotations. There was
also some arrival OF Russian creptals
bought some time ago. But few purchases
of those are now making, as the stock OF
such remaining in Russia for export is
practically closed out.
Since the refners came to terms the
business is working smoothly, and Is now
satisfactory to all concerned, and the job
bers are quite likely to have again the rae
tor plan, OF something like it, which
worked SO well in former days"

quently happens, they index the situation
more than any other group OF securities
at present. They are near the storm CEN
tire in the wheat crop problem and they
are the international securities that best
show what London thinks of the Ameri-
can market. The group acted very well
yesterday, opening at high level and
holding their own better than some other
stocks. Sentiment in the street is getting
more hopeful regarding the grangers for
several very good reasons. Aside from
the fact that wheat has sold off, careful
observers are beginning to point out that
the St Paul statement for May should
not be considered such terrible calamity,
that the wheat crop. whatever it may be,
will not be SO large a factor in the traffic
of these lines as it has been in past
years, that two at least of the group haul
very little spring wheat, and finally that
prices in the group are very low compared
with earnings and dividends, when the
cheapness Of money is taken into con-
sideraticn. 1t is not too hopeful predic-
ton that investments in the grangers will
prove very good inside of the next six
months.

OF the statement that while the gross
earnings of the company increased less
than 100000 the operating expenses"
increased 5000. AS one of the street
authorities points out 1t is hardly to be
supposed that 1t cost nearly half a mil
lion dollars extra to earn $100. 600 more
in gross earnings. As matter OF fact,
the company has been expanding immense
sums for ,betterments, and has seen fit to
include these in its operating expense ac-
count. This account was actually so per
cent OF gross earnings for the month. II
it had been 60 per cent, liberal percent
age for actual operation and maintenance.
the net earnings statement would have
been very different one. The St. Paul
is one Of the best managed and one Of the
most successful railway systems in the
country. Its per cent dividend is as sure
as a bond.

The Pacific securities generally opened
high and held their own we'll. Northern
Pacific was particularly strong, owing,
perhaps, to the May statement of net earn
ings. which was all that had been ex-
pected and little more. The disappoint-
ment over the failure of the directors to
declare dividend on the common stock
is beginning TO wear off, in view of the
absolute certainty that the company is
making immense profits. The increase in
net for May was s2s5,420. 1t is said by
good authority that the increase for June
will be nearly il not quite as large. This
will round out the greatest year in the
