NEW Lo YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, March 16 In Sugar was larfely nation of of of t notably am —The sensational rise ponsible for the eltml- short interest in the . rial gains appearing g the spectalties, while railwa up, but there were the best and the market closed It was a wild day on the Ex- r figured for over a quarter of a rest under pressure. with the aggregate trading 4 a million shares, The market was moving cautiously upward when Sugar burst into prominence and touched 170, a rlse of 294 points over last night, 11 points above the highest boom prices of 1897. The stock closed at 159%. The fluctuations were erratic, &n instance in point being the drop of 10 points on two transactions from the high point. A trader sold short 360 of the 00 shares traded at 17 4 within a moment covered at 160, rmediate transaction being 100 Thus the broker realized $3000 There were various rumors ehares at 169, on his short sale. connected with the movement in Sugar, among rt that the trade war had been n agreement had been reached with the Glucose Refining Company and the Doescher and Arbuckle interests, People in the trade generally discredited the reports, pro. al upon which they vould Jikely posted were it in existence. Local intere identified with the concerns mentioned likewise discredited the reports, ex- cept in the case of the president of the sugar refining company, who made no statement be- fore the market closed. In some quarters the movement was attributed to a corner in the stock and a punishment of the shorts, while on the other hand a house which was active in the dealings clalmed to be ignorant of the reason for the advance, but thought it of too great magnitude to have bLeen merely & ma- neuver against the shorts. Tobacco, after yielding 73 points, made an extreme rise of 10% to 216, in sympathy with the movement in Sugar. Glucose also rose § points to 75; New York Afr Brake touched 200, a rise of 15 points; Metropolitan jumped 5% to 238%, Third Avenue rose 7, Manhatttan §, Brooklyn Transit 23%, Consolidated Gas 6% and Burlington 4%. The other grangers sympathized in a lesser degree In the advance. Four per cent was the loaning rate for call money the greater part of the day, although eome loans were made at 3%@5 per’ cent. The stiffening of the money "rate lampened the ardor of the speculators and caused the recession in the latter trading. The buoyancy of the general market caused a_re- sumption of commission house purchases, which was largely responsible for the rise in the clos- Ing hours.” Bonds shared to some extent in the upward movement, but there were some weak epots which gave the trading an irregular as- pect.

NEW YORK, March 16.—Favorable crop news from California and the Southwest start- ed a landslide in wheat prices to-day. They | broke 2 cents a bushel in the highest point of the sesslon and closed 1%@I%c under the previous night.

The May option broke to 72%c, clesing at 72%c, With subsequent trades on the curb at %@ Foreign news was all very weak indicating declines of 3@%d fn Liverpool and 5@2 points at Paris, influenced partly by reported heavy Argentine and Russlan offerings.

CHICACGO, March 16.—As the early batch of crop reports received by commission houses did not indicate very serious damage to winter wheat snd California confirmed the breaking of the drought in that State wheat speculators commenced the day in a bearish mood. There were other matters in the carly news that like- wisc contributed to the selling spirit with which traders were mbued at the beginning of the session. Liverpool quoted futures from %@%d lower and a cold wave that had been predicted to succeed yesterday's wet weather proved of too cold a type to ralse any further apprehension of damage to winter wheat. May opened %@3%e higher at from GS%@SSKC down to 69%c, with plenty of buyers and sellers at those figures. The buyers were more persistent, however, and continued bidding, gradually re- vising their bids until they fnally had shorts on the run and got the price of May up to %c. The forelgn demand for wheat was very slack and Beerbohm's reported Russian offerings of wheat increasing, while Antwerp cabled that Argentine was offering wheat very freely in that market., The bears took fresh courage when those anhouncements were made and scalpers who had_bought at the opening also turned sellers. Between selling out-of. town wheat and selling short the market got down below the starting prices. Long wheat came out in big chunks when May got under 65¢, which it did about an hour from the close, It broke in the last hour to 67%c and closed at ST4@EToRC. Extremely small country acceptances and light receipts held corn steady until near the close, when the price followed the weakness of wheat. May closed %@lc lower. In oats there was general liquidation on the art of longs, and as the market declined stop- foss orders were drawn in and added to sbe downward tendency. May oafs left off with a loss of 1@1%e. Heavy buying by shorts against light offer- ings caused an upward tendency in provisions early. Later some selling induced by the weak- ness of the cercals resulted in the loss of the improvement. May pork closed unchanged. The range in lard and ribs was very small. The leading futures ranged as foliows: 15@20c; Elgins, Steady. T@c; M@ Articles— Open. High. Low.

Since the large purchases a week or two ago, which resuited in close concentration of the spot supplies in the hands of jobbers, there have been no important sales. Occasional car lots have been taken but for the most part sales have been of small quantities, needed for immediate consumption. The stocks in first hands here are small and in sympathy with advices from the coast the feeling has been very firm and the tendency of prices has been upward. In view of the small offerings and higher prices demanded for Oregon, more attention has been given to the larger sizes of California. These, however, are in very small stock In all positions and holders decline to make any concessions, though by doing so, it is intimated, business might be materially increased. As it is 50-60's California prunes bave within the past few days reccived a good deal of attention and have sold well at full prices, though sales as a rule were of small ots.""

A lot of medium scoured Cape of Good Hope and Natal wool was well represented and sold briskly at 5' to 10 per cent above the January sales. The total number of bales sold to date aggregate 94.500 bales and there re- main to be sold 74,000.
