NXEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 7.—Lower cables from London led to selling of stocks in the locai market during the early trading, and a general though moderate decline in prices followed. There was Do special pressure to sell, and realizings easily account for the slight shading in prices. As the day advanced. however, the market broadened, and in the afternoon trading there was an approach to buoyancy. The improvement in the market was the result of increased buying by commission houses, & beliet that the Morgan syndicate will be awarded a large proportion of the new bond which the street inierprets 48 meaning compat. tively easy working of the money market. at least until the settlements for the new loan are com- pleted. The rise in call loans 10 7 per cent to-day had no significance and was due to bidding by belated bor- Towers. The greatest activity was in the industri- als, Sugar having risen nearly 3 per cent to 11355 on buying by brokers said to be identified with the refining interests.

Dun & Co.'s weekly report of trade will say to-morrow: Fi ures for the week have been 323 in the United States. against 281 last year, and 63 in Canada, against 58 last vear. The wonderful success of the popularloan alters the face of events. Jannary operations become ancient history as the Nation | mouuts above all doubts and fears t0 a solid cer- tainty that the people can and will uphold their Government. manufacturing and all trade cannot be lightly es- timated. It strips the silver aituation of all its power to hurt. basis for the time, whether Congress does anything or not. It notifies foreign nations that the United States has power as_well as purpose. It unlocks wmillions of gold which have been gathered in preparation, brings directly several millions of gold from Kurope. and _stimulates the anxiety of foreign InvesLors 1o obtain American securities. With such a revolution in business snddenly eftected, the customary records of the past week and month are of less value than usnal. But there | have been signs of imiprovement in the iron manu- | facture. Although the average of prices is nearly | 1 per cent Jower this week, and orders for wire | Dails are stimulated by a_decision to advance the price azain March 1, there IS also a more activ uthern competi tion lowers coke iron at Chicago and prevents ad- vance at the East, while sales of 1ast year’s specu- | lators in the Plitsburg region still depress | bessemer. The cre pocl i3 expected to fix the | price for the year at $4 or possibly $4 50, and the coke pool still reduces the output. Speculation has raised copper to 1014 sales of 6,000.000 pounds, and tin to 13 lead to 3.10c, with large exports of Mexican. The boot and shoe manufacture does not gain as yet leather being about 1 per cent lower for the week. Hides are depressed by tight money, though in light demand and about 4 per cent lower for the week. Sales of wool have been 4,500,000 pounds against 5.192.000 pounds last yesr, and with re- ported reduction in clay worsteds and mixtures the orders for other woollen goods are still un- usnaly delayed. The cotton-mills continue generally active. | Though taik of decreasing tne production stili continues, pri t cloths do not rise above some gobds tend lower. Speculation in a3 again lifted prices. The speculative market has been largely influenced by rumors of injury to the coming crop and by foreign advances. Corn has been comparatively quiet. Couton is practically | unchanged, receipis yield of about 7,000,000 bales for 1895. The stock market bas been growing stronger all the weex until the sale of bonds, though yielding a Lttle on realizing. Kaiiroad earnings in January have been 10.6 larger than iast year, but 8.3 less than in 1893, and the tounage eastbound from Chicago was in January nearly 1 per cent larger than in 1893, BANK CLEARINGS.

COAL—A circular for Australls says: “Recent arrivals have generously suppliea thesmarket tem- porarily with Australian, and the outlook is favor- able for liberal shipments this year; in fact Import- ers are already soliciting orders for large contracts for late delivery at a marked reduction from ask- 1ng prices of 30 days ago. It is generally believed that there will be such an ‘cumulation of tonnage in colonial waters a few months hence that freight rates will decline, hence our large consumers are not availing themselves of what anpears to be very low cost fuel. If the present import cost of Swan- sea Anthracite should be m: tained, it will force @ large number of consumers back 10 Australian wha changed off on account of cheap Anthracite: this will largely augment increased shipments of colonizl. ‘I'liere 18 a'ready listed about 30,000 tons of Goaf ‘onnage from Svdney and Newcastle; some of tnese vessels will not load for 60 days. Chere are about 00 tons due to arrive here within 60 days, so that there will be no scarcity of Austra- lian: as most of the Coal afloat is from outside col- heries, there may be a temporary demapd for Wallsind at full figures, asthe quantity Lere of this grade is not excessive.” W ellingron, $8: New Wel- lington, $8 B ron: Southfield Weilington, $7 50 % ton: Seattle, $5@b 50:Bryant, $550: Coos Bay, $5: Wallsend, $650: Scotch, $750;__ Brymbo, $750: Cumberland, $13 50 in bulk and $15 in sks: Pennsylvania Anthracite Egg, $18; Welsh An- thracite Egg, : Cannel. $8: Rock Sprin ‘astie Gateand Pleasant Valley, $7 60; Coke, $10 50 in bulk and $12 50 B ton in sacks.

Apparently Edward IIT had to deal with it, though in the greatly modified form of three monks. In the year 1360 these refugees came to the King at Reading, and made comptaint that the Mussuimans were trying to exterminate their people. Hence they fled, and now asked leave to live in England and collect subscrip- tions for their fellow-sufferers. The King grantea this petition and took the Arme- nians under his protection, but only as long as the protected should do nothing injurious to the King and realm and should *‘bear themselves in true faith and honesty.”” The incident is very curious. From that time to this—635 years—the persecution of the Armenians has seldom ceased. . Yet the Armenians have sur- vived and have kept their faith. Surely there must be a good deal in a people with such a history as this.—London Spectator. ————————— THE CALL CALENDAR.
