INVESTMENT GOSSIP

Waldorf gossip to Watson: Both bulls and
bears are disappointed at the outcome of the
days operations in the stock market owing
to the continued Indifference of the public
and the limited character Of the speculation.
Easy money has, however, caused a number
Of traders to cover shorts and wait for a
rally on which to sell again. At the same
time, the large operators adhere to the con-
sentative attitude they have maintained for
weeks, which is also true Of the leading COM
mission houses. Most of the latter are
in point of fact, advising sales of the rail
road stocks on any further Improvement They
take the position that in view of the present
high range of prices, there can be no sub
stantial rise in the market until the courts
settle the question of the legality of the
the meantime, uncertainty and rregularity
are inevitable. Houses which are believed
to reflect Standard Oil interests are especially
emphatic in the foregoing opinions.
|. New York, to Whallon-Case: Feeling this
morning seems to be pretty confident, that
the market is going to do better. Some Of
the large interests express themselves freely
on the bull SIDE, and say the market will
go up no matter what the Northern Securities
decision Is.
New York to Smith Even if the supreme
court decides that it has jurisdiction in the
Northern Securities case, it by no means
indicates that, when tried upon it's merits,
the decision will be against the company.
The recent period Of quietness has been bene-.
fetal and, barring some unexpected disaster,
there seems to be every reason. to expect an
ultimate higher range OF market situations.

SUGAR TRADE UNEASY
Panic Policy Adopted by Dealers in
Great Britain.

Great Britain.
London, Jan. 24.-The uneasiness in the
sugar trade caused by the expectation of
an increased duty is growing, as the date
of the budget speech approaches Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach' has promised not
to- increase the duty on coal, and this is
regarded as foreshadowing an additional
tax on sugar and perhaps tea. During the
last few weeks imports OF sugar have
enormously increased and the demand for
storage room is greater than the supply.
This panic policy is strongly condemned
by the chancellor of the exchequer, on the
ground that it is unfair to attempt to an
ticipate the budget and so cause con-
siderable loss to the revenue, but of
course unless the sugar duty is increased
he can afford to smile at the desperate
efforts now being made. 1t is stated that
the tax on tea, will be raised from 4
pence to pence a pound.
