EASTERN MARKETS. | NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—To-day's stock market | was broad, animated and strong throughout, | and galns were maintained with only insignifi. cant reactions at a few intervals. The buying | was on a very large scale and was aggressive | and confident. A number of operators were in | the movement and the combined takings made up a large share of the total transactions of the day. But there was manifest an outside | interest in the market which was awakened by | yesterday's strength and the commission house | business on a falrly large scale. The in | ment demand for safe dividend payment stocks | and the heavy buying of bonds were also evi- | dences of an infusion of new life into the mar- ket. It is likely that these dealings were due to the large amounts made avallable for in- vestment by the January dividend and interest disbursements. Most of the dealings were pro- fessional, nevertheless, and they seemed to have been incited by the very confident expres- slons of one of the largest and most dashing operators in the market, who was in large part the leader of last summer’s rise. Some of the most notable gains were achieved early in the day and were quite firmly held throughout, even in the face of very larze transactions. There was suggestion of realiz- ing in this, but all offerings were well ab- sorbed. The closing was only slightly below the best and showed net gains of between 1 and 2 points for nearly all active stocks. Prices for American securities were good in London and in Europe to-day and gave an impetus to the rise at the opening here, the international stocks being the first to advance. Continued strength in Sugar also helped to sustain the market. The prevailing tightness of money showed the first decisive tendency toward easing rates to- day, and while most loans were made at 3t | per cent the rate yielded to 3 per cent and | closed at that. There was a better demand re- ported also for commercial paper, though not | sufficlent to cause a ylelding of the rate which | conttnued at 3% to 4 per cent for choice grades. | ‘There was some outstanding short interest in the market, and the covering of this helped on the rise. The bond market was even more active and stronger than stocks, and some notable gains were scored. Total sales, $5,090,000. Government bonds were 3 higher all around. | Total sales of stock to-day, 398,800, including: | — Atchison preferred 9565, Chesapeake and Ohio | Burlington 26,010, Louisville and Nash- | 4211, ville 4435, Manhattan 25,220, Metropolitan Street Rallway €950, Missourl Pacific 5980, New Jer- soy Central ‘3665, Northern Pacific 4540, Northern Pacific_pr. ferred 22,262, Ontarlo and Western 335 Read- ing 12,320, Rock Island 9208, St. Paul 26,095, Southern Ralflroad preferred 82 cific 24,425, Chicago Great Western 8050, Peo- le's Gas 6150, Laclede Gas 4116, Sugar 41,950, estern Union 4852. LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK, Jan. 6—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram: The stock markets here were good to-day and fairly ac- tive, chiefly in the speculative departments, where the features were the boom in Grand Trunks and Canadlan Pacifics. | w New York Central 11,725, | Americans were also good and closed at the best. There 18 more interest here, but little business. Berlin, however, is buying Canada Pacifics and Americans freely. New York Central rose sharply at the close on the publi- cation of the funding scheme. A feature to-day was the great tightness of money in Indla. Reports say that the string Elrfly artificlally produced by the anks declining_to lend, and o ncy was sidency forcing _up ex- The Indian Council sold to-day twenty lakhs of rupees In telegraphic transfers at rates ranging up to 16d. 1 am told privately that half a_million in old may go from the Bank of England to Krgentin. *This will® steady _money rates here. To-day's gold exports have caused a firmer tone on the local money market, which has prevented discount houses from lowering de- posit rates.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.—News affecting wheat be- fore trading commenced was chiefly bearish and that was clearly the effect it had upon the speculators. May, which closed yesterday at 9%c, opened at from %c down to 89%c, sold very sparingly at 90@0%c, and then slid off quickly to 89%c. For two hours the range of the fluctuations were practically limited be- tween the extremes mentioned. The main points of the early market information was as follows: Liverpool quoted a decline of 1%d to start with, and the reason for it was in one cablegram ascribed to liberal offerings of Ar- gentine wheat and in another to Thoman's re- port and export surplus of 100,000,000 still avall- able in this country. A private cablegram from Parls said that the wheat was rapidly de- clining and the market was weak and de- pressed. The Price Current remarked ol the condition of winter wheat that it was gener- ally protected by snow. The only bullish fea- ture of the early news was the small Chicago receipts, only 41 cars being received. The up- turn to the market was helped by liberal clear- ances from Atlantic ports, which in wheat and flour amounted to 560,000 bushels. New York and Baltimore reported fresh business done for export. " Closing cables made Liverpool latest prices from 1d to 1%d lower than those of the previous day. Several local shorts bought steadily for an_ hour, when the price of May was between 89% and 90%c, and when the general crowd, who were short, tried to buy, they found the salable wheat had all been absorbed. May closed %0%o bid, or %c higher than it did yesterday. Corn was moderately active. May closed %@ %c higher. Oats were firm throughout the session. May closed %@%c higher. Provisions were weak all day, heavy receipts here and at Western points. At the close May pork was 12c lower; May lard Tige lower. and May ribs l0c lower.

The joint west crosscut No. 1 from the surface tunnel was in 1683 feet at last accounts and the face was in porphyry. There is a strong flow of water coming from the face. In the Crown Point mine, from the ena et the gouth drift on the 700-foot level, they have started a southeast crosscut and extended the same 22 feet through clay_and quartz, the former assaving from $4 to $10 per ton. ‘They are repairing the shaft from the 1100 to the 1000-foot level at several points. The joint Bel- cher-Crown Point west crosscut from the top of the Belcher No. 1 raise, 850 level, has not been advanced any since last report. In consequence of some necessary repairs to the surface machinery no work was done in the Belcher mine during the past week. In the Overman mine during the past week they repaired and retimbered 24 feet of the in- cline upraise from a point 1152 feet in on the north drift from the shaft on %X-fcot level. They extracted 19 carloads of ore from the workings on this level. The value of ore. per car samples, was §21 §7 per ton. Very little ore was extracted for the month of December, as the men were en on repair work. The official letter from the Justice mine for the past week says: West crosscut No. 2 started from the face of the south lateral drift, has been advanced 10 feet during the week, making its total length 16 feet. There s no change in the formation since last report. The face is in.ore assaying $17 20 per ton. During the past week they have hoisted 22 tons and 1500 pounds of ore. The car samples average $16 75 per ton. BOARD SALES.

A colored Mrs. Partington lives in Georgia, says the Constitution, and she talks interestingly. She is about 70 years old and makes a great show of reading the Bible—though it is well known she cannot read a line. The other morning she was seated on her front porch with a large family Bible on her lap. Some one was pass- ing and saluted her. “Good morning, Aunt Caroline. ‘Mawnin’, suh—mawnin'! It's right previous weather, suh.” “Yes, rather previous. “De clouds hang se low, hit look like dey ’bout ter have a collegiance wid de airth.” “Yes, it does look so.” ‘“Well, de Lawd'll take keer on us. De Bible say he distempers the wind ter de born lambs.” 3 “Is that the Bible you're reading?” ‘Oh, yes, suh.” 'Why, it's upside down!"” “Look heah, mister!” said the old woman indignantly, “don’t you s'pose I knowed {t? What diffunce do it make? De Bible is so plain you kin read it any way. —_— STEAMERS TO SAIL. STEAMER. | DESTINATION | R4 BIt SAns. | Pisr.
