NEW YORK, Jan 24-There were at
temptS to hold the market this morning
by the marking up of individual stocks,
which proved successful until the I'M
easiness of the professionals to take their
profits checked the advance. The whole
market then reacted, dropping generally
to well below last night There was an
other upward movement when shorts
covered, which reduced the days net
changes to Insignificant proportions, but
made the closing firm. Fully one-third
OF the days transactions were in Sugar
and Amalgamated Copper. Except for
these there were not half dozen stocks
IN which the transactions amounted to
I0,O00 shares. Metropolitan Street Rail-
way started upward to 1727s, but fell
back to over point below last night
and closed unchanged. The dealings in
sugar were on a very large scale, with
no news to account for them beyond
the general expectation of a reduction
in duties on Cuban sugars. This stock
was Hfted nearly two points, but fell
Dack to below last nights level and
also closed unchanged
Amalgamated Copper Jared better the
