Thus the apparent anomaly was presented of & buoyant rise in stocks con- ncontradicted or new facts developed of 1 more unfavorable character.

Published “reports alleged continued ralization and cutting of prices of Sugar | the conviction of professional speculators | the next dividend will | be cut; but Sugar shows a met gain of 2%. The simple explanation is that bear traders e been selling these stocks without hold- g certificates with which to make deliveries nd when they tried to buy they found a traders in the same situation and a petition sprang up to secure the ply. People's Gas, the Tobacco amiber of the metal stocks, Western and some others which have been under coent pressure moved upward under the same The Leather stocks weakened on the arly earnings reported, which were much be- Jow recent sanguine estimates and the bears endeavored to create a diversion in thelr favor by raiding stocks.

The advance was rather marked in | & group of low-priced common stocks of com- | panies whose preferred stocks have already re- Tiected their improved prospects of dividends | by reason of increasing earnings. Foremost | of the group were Aichison and Southern Rall- | way, which rose 1%@1 respectively. There| were good rises also in Louis Southwestern, | Wabash preferred, Chicago Great “’Qlem.] orado and Southern second preferred and North American. The movement of grangers, jed by Burlington, was based on the fall of snow in the Northwest, which is believed to afford security to the wheat in the ground, as refiected by the downward tendency ef that cereal on the grain exchange. This movement e of special interest as being the first of any momept in the stock market founded on the prospects of this year's crop, thus ushering in & new influence and hazard which will play a growing part in the problem of values.

The shorts were nothing less than furfous to cover. At times so great was the excitement brokers would be buying at 2 or 3 points above what others were offering to sell. While the demand was general and largely from European sources the feature of the local market was the insatiable demand from a Wall street concern reputed to be heavily short of March contracts and also re- puted to have been a heavy seller yesterday in keeping with a large number of bearis dispatches which they sent forth yesterday. This concern hought enormous quantitles of | cotton, especially for August delivery. At the best point the market showed the unusual ad- | vance of 18@39 points. The record of transac- tions overflowed the large hoard .provided for + | their_accommodation and an auxiliary board was provided to complete the record of the +day's transactions.

The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 2,149,000 pounds domes- tic and 242,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 2,531,000 pounds, against a total of 2,371,000 pounds ‘for the previous week and a total of 2,283,000 pounds for the corresponding week last Year.
