ALEXANDER McADIE, Local Forecast Official. e nge ek EASTERN MARKETS. ; NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—There were a nimber | of features of aggressive strength In to-day’s | etock market, but there was also evidences | that the sustaining force of these special stocks | was taken advantage of to sell out heavy lines of other stocks to realize profits. The center of interest in the market continued to be New York Central. The persistent advance in this stock is attributed very generally In the street to inside buying, and the reports of a pending plan for the merging of Lake Shore and New | York Central find very general credence. All sorts of rumors are constantly coming. in, pro- | fessing to give in detall the plans for the first | merging and also for the consolidation of vari- | ous other Vanderbiit properties, but no official | or authoritative announcement has been made, | nor is one expected. The advance in New York Central was twice arrested during the | day by reactions. Large absorption of stock which developed before the decline had reached great length was suggested by the probability | that the reaction was manipulated in the inter- | est of those secking to acquire stock. Lake | Shore yielded 1% of its extreme advance of 2% | before the close. It is noticeable that the Van- | derbilt stocks closed below last night's final price. Northern Pacific preferred, Kansas and Texas preferred and Rock Island were leaders of the market in conjunction with New York Central, There were not lacking other fea- tures of strength in the market, and the New York_transit companies were conspicuous for a sudden and sharp advance in the final hour, London had a large account in the local mar- ket to-day, and on the side of the sales there was a balance of over 30,000 shares. Sterling | exchange responded to the London selling I'ltfi | a rather firmer tone. There was no hardening | tendency in the local money market. The | close was irregular. | Bonds were in good demand. The volume of business was large, the total sales amounting o0 $5.670,000. United States old 4s coupon were | % hiEher bid, new 4s % higher and b coupon % lower.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were of better tone to-day, Amer- icans and Argentines being the feature. Amer- icans, which closed at best, are practically booming. The support is mainly from New York, but professional dealings here are strong and increasing. It 1s belleved here that the Teller silver resolution will pass the United States Senate, but the kind of profes- slonals now dealing in Americans is too used to that sort of thing to be upset by it. The Lake Shore and New York Central were very strong. Grand Trunk was lower. Bank of England stock s the highest ewsr touched. It will be interesting to note the effect on the half year's profits of the bank’s recent poliey. Copper shares are recovering. The local dis- count market continues very firm, and all the Continental exchanges are rising. It is, how- ever, rumored that more Japanese money will be released at the end of the week.

The mar- ket was up %@1%d on futures, and cables from | there and from London also were decidedly bullish in tone. The British Consul at Kief, South Russia, officially said that Russia would probably soon have to become an importer of grain; that the Russian ports were closing again, and that a cargo of Argentine wheat, February shipment, 3s 34 per quarter, an advance equivalent,to 8%c a bushel In two weeks. The Russian news had more effect later in the day than at the opening, which was nevertheless very strong. May closed yesterday at $4%c and opened to- day at uuéflm, while July started X@%c higher at from 86%@$6c. The opeming advance encountered very free realizing, some of which was credited to Leiter, but the selling resulted in the May price only Teacting to $5@iskc, and for two hours a fight was waged around %ic for control of the market. News that came in during that time almost altogether favored an advance. Minneapolis reported a heavy de- mand_for flour, especially foreign shipment, and Tacoma advised continued shipments of flour and wheat to South Africa. Export clear- ances of wheat and flour from the Atlantic ports amounted to the heavy total of 500,000 | bushels. About midday, and after the receipt of strong closing cables, the fun commenced, and for the third day In succession January furnished the sensation. Ug to that time the delivery had been heard of but seldom. Leiter brokers again appeared in the and their bids of $1 02 for January, 2c above yesterday's closing price, started shorts in the futures in a hurry, and the price of May especially ad- vanced almost as it as the cash figures did. For a few minutes the excitement was intense and the hunt for cover which took place jumped May to 9%c, January in the mean time being quoted at 81 02%. The market quieted down somewhat for & time, but about half an hour from the close the buying fever again broke out as the jumping of January ‘was renewed. In a very short space of time January was bid up to §1 05, May to $7%c and July to 87%c. These prices hung with heavy trading. At the close January was quoted at geo: . May at 9734 @97%c and July at §T%e. A said that Leiter had sold 2,000,000 bushels of wl(l;:tl for -hlpn‘\enl abroad. Tn was active and firm throughout. May clm %c higher. s were strong and higher.

Suj plies of Valenclas were never so small at this season, but there seems to be no demand and prices quoted are nominal. Advices from the other side are to the effect that supplies could not be renewed at present quotations. Sicily oranges are in small stock and little on the way, but there seems to be no demand. Cali- | fornia oranges are still arriving quite freely, | but are bringing sSatisfactory prices at au tion, and jobbing quotations are maintained. | In Florida oranges the firm feeling is main- tained, but there is not much business to re- | port. Spot prices for dried fruits are, and for some time have been, below parity with quo- | tations on the Pacific Coast. The lower price | held is explained by recetvers as having been | caused by free early purchases in California | at comparatively lower figures In expectation | of a large consuming demand, which expecta- | | tion was based on the small stocks controlled by retallers. The expected demand from con- | sumers did not materialize and holders here, | finding themselves overstocked, were ready to | ade prices somewhat in order to move out | stocks. They have, however, it is sald, been unwilling to releass any large blocks except at full figures. | The consuming trade in Eastern markets, it | is now reported is beginnine to increas though still below expectations. In the West and Middle West, however, it is understood that the bulk of distribution through consum ing channels {s now being made, and it is be- | cause of the demand from that quarter, re- | ports state, that holders on the coast are able | to maintain their views nu. only on Santa | Clara but on Northern and Southern fruit, | the demand from the West for the two last named being, it is renorted, very good. Specu- | lative movement, to which is attributed the stronger feeling 'In this market, has, it is understood. resulted in a closer concentration | of spot supplies. but there seems still to be | enough competition to prevent this market ;mn} advancing from a parity with Call- orn} LONDON WOOL SALES. LONDON, Jan. 2I.—There were 15574 bales offered at the wool sale to-day, with & good selection. Prices were fairly maintained, though medium cross-breds were somewhat Ir- regular. Port Phillp greasy merinos attracted much attention and there was strong competi- tion for New Zealand lustrous cross-breds. A large supply of slips went principally to the home trade. France competed spiritedly with Germany for their specialites. There was a supply of Cape of Good Hope and Natal, but here the withdrawals were frequent. Snow whites and scoureds went to_the Continent at full prices. A quan- tity of South Australian in fine condition was secured by America and Yorkshire. The pur- chases for America were limited to 700 bales.

Mr. Jones went to Dr. Tal- mage's home during the afternoon of the day on which his engagement be- | gan and introduced himself. Mr. Tal- | mage looked him over and was evident- |1y a little taken aback at the rather | | shabby appearance of the evangelist. | As it approached evening he said: “Brother Jones, would you take it amiss if I presented you with a new | | suit of clothes?” *“Certainly not,” said | the accommodating Samuel. He was taken to a clothier and fitted from head to foot, topping all with a high hat. | At church the doctor introduced him | as the Rev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgia. Mr. Jones arose with his new hat in hand and repeated: “Yes; the Rev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgla,’ and added: “And this is the new suit of clothes and this the new hat your pastor has presented to me. If your pastor had as much of the grace of God In his heart as he has pride, would convert all Brooklyn, and would not need me.”—Homiletic Review. THE CALL CALENDAR. January, 1898. Full Moon, Jan. 7.
