The floating supply of Sugar stock is
now said to be lower than at any time
in the history of the company. The
stock was once the most active and
sensational with regard to fluctuations
on the exchange, but 1t is said invest
ment absorption by New England has
taken a great deal of it from the mar
ket. There are Indications of an up
ward movement of considerable pro-
portions in Sugar when the market Is
in a favorable condition.
London comes firm and a quarter
higher for most of American stocks The
I,5O0OO0 in gold engaged yeEterda. for
export to Paris goes out by today'S
steamer and will be followed by the en-
gagement today or tomorrow of $500, 900
more for Argentina. Foreign exchange
brokers expect further shipments later
in the week
The Government crop report on winter
wheat is better than had been expected,
but it only brings the average conditions
OF the crop up to May l. the date when
the weather was most severe throughout
the West.
Foreign exchange continues strong.
and foreign houses generally agree
there is a probability of further gold
exports next week, but traders continue
to ignore this situation.
The subtreasury statement this morn
ing shows the banks lost 1886 900 in
cash yesterday. which reduces their
total net gain through the subtreasury
since last Friday night to only $177 900.
The two disturbing factors in the stu
alton are the labor agitation and the
abnormally high price at which cotton
is selling The former is assuming Sc
rious proportions, but there is fortu-
nately more or less concerted action on
the part OF employers which, if no out
side Interference is attempted, will in
the long run force labor to abandon its
unreasonable demands. AS for cotton,
not only is the high price checking ex-
ports, but there are actually instances
where American cotton has been bought
back from England.
Buying Of National Railroad of Mexico
shares by prominent Wall Street houses
is exciting considerable comment in in
vestment circles. while information from
responsible sources that these stocks
are being accumulated for purposes of
control has attracted good speculative
purchases. The stock is evidently being
bought by people who desire the own
ership OF the property. and 1t is note
worthy fact that efforts are being made
to acquire stock without advancing the
price. representative banking house
is taking this issue for some one else,
and it is quite naturally inferred that
the Rock Island will eventually control

lngs of the Mexican railroads have been
improving for the last few years. and
when the gold basis is established in
the Mexican republic the income of these
roads will be practically doubled, as at
present receipts are on the basis of the
Mexican silver dollar, while payments
for interest and supplies are generally
at the rate of the gold dollar. Mexican
National and Mexican Central are both
cheap stocks that apparently have a
bright future. Capital has been moving
into Mexican industries at a rapid rate
in the last few years, and the growth Of
the country's industries in the last two
years has been extensive. The Mexican
National Railroad, now called the Ma
ional Railroad of Mexico, was practi-
cally reorganiZed several years ago and
since that time large sums of money
have been placed in the property. The
work of changing the gauge from mar
row to standard will be completed in the

The advance is based upon the expec-

upon rather vague authority. The
