to bo a llttlo hotter than yesterday und
trading was more active. It wan an un
even market, however, the same ns has
buon the caso all along. In somo cases
sales were undoubtedly made that wenr
fully Go higher, whllo In other Instances
sellers had trouble In getting steady prices.
Light hogs, In some cases, sold a good deal
higher this morning when IncUdod In u
string of heavy hogs, but otherwise they
wero neglected and toward the close of
tho market wero undoubtedly ji llttlo lower
than yesterday. The rango of prices was
not much different from yesterday. Tho
prlmo, heavy nogs sold very largely nu n
$6.25 to 6.5o. Oood mixed hogs brought
from 16.00 to $6.20 and light weights sold
from J6.00 down. The bulk of the offerings
changed hands In fairly good season, but
tho last end of tho market was slow and
a llttlo weak, particularly on tho light
weights. Representative sales:

NEW YORK. Dun. St Todnv's nenrrecatn
dealings were nllghtly In excess of thoso
yesterday, principally by reason of the
continued active speculation for a fall In
Sligar. Tho dealings In the general market
wero In tho hands of professional trnders
nnd only 11 small pnrt of the day's opera-
110ns originated outside tno Hoard room.
Tho Into roenverv In iirlces nfter tho
steady downward tendency of the early
part of tho day was 11 sufficient Inducement

Even In Sugar, although thcro was ob
loilsly very Tartre llmildatton. tho largest
traders on tho exchnnge Joined Hctlvelv In
the selling for special account. Thcro
were sales of l.Ow tu 10.000 shares during
the day by Individual brokers and some of
tho largest sellern bought to cover before
tho close. The stock wos forced down nt
Olio tlmn in 1fftl rnnrnnptillni? n flprllnn nf

Parallels were drawn bv the eonnor enl-
odo to point to tho Inndcnuacv of the
great Industrial combinations to regulate
ami control trado In staplo products. Mean
time the copper market In London made a
turn from Its Inmr ilownwnrd course and
rallied quite strongly. The Amalgamated
Copper hero resisted tho general weakness
of the mnrket and rose nt one time 1H
over last night, closing with n not gain of

Tho strnmr movement In tho ireneral list

carry over tho holiday. Rears also counted
upon ino depressing innuenco or continued
