New York, Dec. 13 Speculation at the Stock Exchange was more active and business was better distributed than for a long time past. The sales were 312, G59 shares, of which Sugar figured for the enormous total of 17-5,0.0 shares. The reasons advanced for the rise from 87 yesterday to 94 at the blose to-day, ex-dividend of 3 percent, did not satisfy tne street. The practical defeat of the rreefcugar bill, and the advance in re fined to-day of l-16c per pound, in the opinion of most operators, hardly ac counts for the enhancement noted, and there is more than a suspicion that there is a big fight going cn among the in siders. It will be remembered that President Havemeyer, in his famous in terview previous to the declaration of the regular dividend, stated that the trade was in poor shape and ordered the closing down or all the trust refinerits. Subsequently the order was modified and. t 1 i. 1 . . iaw.i, wiitrn ine uireciorsmethe wasover ruled in the matter of the dividend lms, it is claimed, has created internal dirs- n?ions and oeo of the best battles in the history of this most phenomenal etoc k is now going on. ihe average trader is not disposed to touch the stcck and the giants of the Bugar trade have the field to themselyes. The outcome, it is needless to add, is awaited with the greatest in terest. Notwithstanding the excitement in Sugar, operators psid considerable at tention to the railway list. The street has come to the conclusion that the Sen ate will pass the Patterson Pooling bill, and that too, at an early date. The im pression also prevails that the Rock Island directors, who are to meet shortly, will see their way clear to declare the usual dividends. Furthermore, earnings this month at least are likely to make a good showing as compared with the corresponding period last year. The matters just referred to caused a mm plete change of sentiment, and there was groi buvinsr for both accounts!. Neither London sdling or the engage ment of $2,500,000 gold for shipment to Europe on Saturday had anv effect. The improvement in prices ranged from i to li per pent, and, as a rule, the best figures of the day were current at thpi close. Speculation left off Btrong. Net changes show gains of itolj per cent, outside of Sugar, which rose 3 per cent. Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg pre ferred brought 55, against 70 on the last reported sale before tOrday. The bond market was strong. Sales of listed Btocks were lrfiOUO shares; unlisted, 179,000. i Chicago, Dec. 13 Some laid to dav's break m wheat to cables which, at the close, were lower for all European mar kets. Others claimed that it was due to the confirmation pf the glowinsf renorts of tbe condition of the Argentine crop, whilst by far the most plausible excuse given seemed to be general fatigue on the part of the holders who had accumu lations of wheat taken on earlier in the week, and who, finding that all the bull talk was without avail and that statis tical data went for naught, ooncluded to sacrifice their property and await a more auspicious time for toe campaign of higher prices. Until the activity inci dent to the slump was seen business wore a holiday appearance and the talk was that a quiet market would rule until the first of tbe year. Even when prices were declining the trade was not broad and the lack of 6tipport was partly due to tne aDjjence or interest. Cash wheat was firm at ic higher, but closed nomi nally weak with the futures. Corn lost its strength and dropped back in sympathy to-dav. Cash corn sold c higher, but was nominally much lower at the close. Oats were without the least interest or activity, merely because of the decline, in wheat ai d corn and dropped a frac or two during the latter " portion of the market. Cash oats were firm and ic higher whilst trading was progress, but sympathized with the weakness of the future later , on, ' i Product rule'l higher than vesterdav During the close, however, it was con sideraly below the high point, owing to the declining tendency o grain, specula tion in provisions followini? "th nam direction:' Jlepbrt3 from the stock yards early gave a much lighter run of hogs than expected and quoted an advance oi 10c per 100 pouads.
