THE STOCK MARKET; Features of the Past Week Haven and Stout s Eeview. New York, March 18. American To bacco closed at 210; Sugar, 171 3-4; New York Central, 132 ,1-2; Union Pa cific preferred, 78 1-2. Spcial to the Gazette. New York, March 18. Haven & Stout in their review of the week today, say. Sensational developments in such a prominent speculative stock as Ameri can Sugar Refining have been the event of the week, and necessarily ob scured everythlng else in the . stock market. The sudden rise and violent fluctuations in Sugar resulted in rapid covering by tthe short interest whith the professional traders -had accumulated during the past fortnight, and thus in terrupted the course which the market seems likely to pursue,, in obedience to such general influences as money, the during. February .and the current month. The leaders of the market and jthe jiarge interests in charge of active spectrliative properties had, it is . true, betrayed no ; anxiety about the future ' of icea: Up fc0 last " uriday. wen the sudden aeveiopments in regard to Sugar changed the general character of the market, their aMaimde had been passive as regards the general list, al tnougn various specialties (naa oeen in receipt of support which demonstrated thait a buying demand still exists( and is attraoted by movements, in stocks. which present plausible reason .for ap preciation. It would have indeed seemed that 'the big people were not averse" to the creation - of a sjhortt inter est in the railroad share list, and, on the other hand, the board room profession als and the outside operators who reas on the same way, showed eagerness to sell, at least for a turn on the bear side; ( The thirty point j-ise in Sugar has mot been the .only sensational episode; The course of Tobacco stocks aititraoted great jatitention. American Tobacco's rise to 216 seejned to confirm the anticipated distribution of a 100 per cent, dividend and to give credit a the predictions ithat with the whole trade im its hands the company can ay large dividends on its increased stock. Continental To bacco, its offshoot, was listed this week, though the Increased market, for it nat urally brought realizing sales. OPPORTUNITY. FOR THIS PEOPLE OF ASHEVILLB.
