Wall street, 10 a. [IL-Pricefi opened
lower on the small exchange under the
influence of lower quotations from
London and a violent break In Sugar.
The last named stock opened wide. 2.-
500 shares selling simultaneously at
“ii to 144% against 147% last night's
close, Support seemed forthcoming
at low points. Steel and wire sold
down 2% and losses of a. point were
shown by the tobacco stocks and sev-
eral other specialties. Losses In the
railroads approached a point In only
onelor two cases.
Wall street. 11 n. m.——The bears had
the market well in band and hammer-
ed the Industrials vigorously. No oppo-
sition we encountered. the bulls ap~
parcntly devoting their efforts to hold-
ing up the standard stocks. Metro-
politan Street Railway slumped 5%;
Union ling and Steel and Wire prefer-
red. 3%: New York Air Brake and Tin
Plate, three. and numerous others two
points. Omaha took n Jump upwards
of three points and St. Paul and Louis-
ville were pushed up 1% above last
night. These tactics. however. did not
benefit the list and the market gave
way again at 11 o'clock. the railroads
showing more effect than before.
'Wall street. noen~The bears com-
menced to cover in anticipation of a
favorable bank statement. and the un-
expected lightness of the loss In reserve
made the demand from that source ur-
gent The lndustriais rallied all the
way from one to four points and the
prominent railroad stocks a point or
over. bringing them above last night’s
prices Minneapolis St. Paul and
Salilte St. Marie preferred rose three.
The demand for stocks did not extend
apparently beyond the ranks of the
shorts. 1 he rally in Sugar brought out
such heavy offering that the stock
turned downwards again. The ex-
treme softness of Sugar affected Tobac-
co and the high-priced specialties. The
evident failure of the rally to hold
brought large offerings on the market
again, and the list gave away general-
Iy Sonic stocks dropped a point and
others more. notably Sugar which
touched 1391.4. and Tobacco. which fell
to 103. The closing was active and
