In the parsu't of thelr professional “avocation stock traders are always trying to discount what th ex- pect and the consequence fs that in Sugar they ‘are invarlably surprised disap- poliited. Toduy was no exception. Action on the quarterly dividend has been looked for at any time for several days past and the “news” as to what the dividend would be has varied all the way from an increase in the regular rate from 1% to 2 per cent and up, to the regular 1% and an extra dis- bursement of 2 per cent he apeculation has gone on right merrily on that basis. The price was run up to 4 this morning when the Intimation was disseminated that no action would be taken on the dividend today. Consequently the announceme: little ‘later that the directors had met at the private restden t the president of the company and ared a dividend of only 1% pe ent 1 a bombshell upon the specilative contingent In thelr rush to save losses they forcea the price down by rapld stages, meeting no support exeept from professional shorts n the way down. The stock touched 127l in the last hour, which was § full points below the highest, and closed with & net loss of 64. The violent alump In this stock had a depressing influence on the whole market, but the movement elsowhere at no time “approached demoralization. In fact there were points of strength persisting here and there in the raflroad, list, notably the Erle stocks nd in t low-priced Bouthwesterns, but these ylelded their gains In the late reaction. In the early dealings the principal weakness was shown by the shecluities and especially the steel stocks. he latter group showed good recoveries C held well !Il the to weakness ilroad list The } sure to sell the rallroads grew steadlly during the latter part of the d: and a’ large number of them show net loases of about a point. Chi ton & Quiney declined 1% weakness, while partly die to sympathy with the Violent decline in Sugar, was un- doubtedly based for the mos part on anxiety as to the ability of the money market to carry speculative nccounts safely over the new year. There was nho evidence that was forced today, but a spirit of caut prevalled and induced measures to av anything like forced liquidation in view of large advances in prices which the market has enjoyed Owlng to the renewed movement of cur- rency to the Interfor and the present low level of penston disbursements sub- treasury has already taken up from the money market nearly $3,000,00 since Fri- day. * Today's transfers to the interior, which went to New Orleans, were $400,000, compared with $560,000 yesterd. Another noticeab'a featu situation is the hange in spite of the firmness of the cal money market and the notably easi rates in London and Berlin, Thé forelgn selling of oir se- curities, which was continued today to the extent about 25000 sh @, 18 supposed to_account for this. The opinion is pressed by some forelgn auinoritles that this process has been carried 8o far s to leave New York without future power to draw gold from Buropean sources. In this connection today's report of a_ further shipment from Australfa to San Francise of $15W.00 in gold has some significance. Incoming steamers are bringing large shi ments of American securities rfl'rnrl y sold by forcign holders and the increase In the supply of stock available for lending serves U\} mellitate bear operations in the market.

The sales of tintos were attributed to President McKinley's reference to trusts in his message, which hitting the Amal- gamated company would, it s thought, Teact on tintos, but the frouble 1s appar: ently local.
