The shorts In Sugar became nervous as a result of the high loaning rate for the stocks and covered some heavy lines, ralsdnjr the price 2_. Union PaelUc preferred pushed ud to 6.14, Brook'yn Transit above 69 and People's Gas above 17. Prices generally ro*e to near the best again, ln sympathy with this movement, and Invited renewed buying for outside account through commission nouses. But the k»vel wa* not maintained In i the la*t hour, when call money was marked j up t 024 per cent, and prices fell away j throughout the list. Earlier gains were practically wiped out ln the grangers, the j Paciflee except Union Paciflc preferred, the j Southern stocks and many specialties, inc!ud • lag Federal Steel. Atchison preferred, which I was again the leader of the market, shewed : more substantial opposition to the decline than many other Bto-_ks. Dealing ln all of the Atchison securities was on an enormoqs scale, and It was accompanied by reports of the early entry into the directory of a finan cial interest largely dctninant In _ock- Island. There waa an unexplained advance of 2-_ points in Central Pacific, which was not Im probably connected with the coincident strength of Union Paciflc preferred. Pacific Mail also advanced notably on account of Increased earnings. The decline of the la_t hour waa accompanied by Increased activity, indicating a disposition towards liquidation. The bond market wa* again phenomlnally active and embraced a great variety of Is sues. The Atchison adjustment 4s were, how ever, easily the leaders, with total sales of a par value of nearly 5_.000,000. This bond advanced 2 per cent, to 73"_, *nd reacted 14 In the late dealings.
