NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—There were gains of 1 to 11% points in stocks to-day on transactions in excess of a million shares, which were widely distributed, many usually neglected shares figuring in the total. The market here opened hesitatingly in sympathy with the Ir- regularity in London, which was a seller of some 20,000 shares in the first hour. fresh <o NEW port given by leading interests. The profes- sional element relieved the pressure which it had been exerting on the market and turned buyers. The commission business was in fair volume and was disposed to allow advances wherever they occurred. London took back gome of her earlier sales on noting the im- proved tendency here. Influences bearing on the situation were the handsome increases In #ross_earnings for the third week in January shown by St. Paul, Missouri Pacific and Cana- dian Pacific. There were a number of very interesting features in the market after the first hour. Metropolitan Street Railway started a sensational advance, which eventually reached 11% points above last night's closing. Manhattan sympathetically made an extreme gain of 3 points. These movements led to & re- vival of rumors that the relations of the two comipanies had been placed on a more har- monious basis. New York Central made a gain of %, Northwest 3% and P. C. C. and 8t. Louis 7', Union Pacific preferred made 2 rise of 334 on revival of the bellef in the so-called Vanderbilt transcontinental deal, while Lake Erle and Western preferred was up 6% points on the idea that the road was being acquired in the interest of the New York Central. The interest switched then into the low-priced shares, and rises of about 3 points occurred in Rubber, Chesapeake and Ohlo, Pacific Mall Canada’ Southern, Chicago and Great Western and Rio Grande Western preferred, while the extreme advance in Toledo and Ohio Gentral Rio Grande and Western common and Ten- nessee Coal and Iron reached & points.

Africans continue buoyant, diverting atten- tion from Americans. The latter had a dull opening under a steady pressure of selling or- ders. Jobbers refused to buy. There was a lull inthe early afternoon on the exhaustion of sales and some preliminary buying before | New Yori's opening, which caused a rally, ad- vancing Union Pacific issues, Ontario and West- | ern and Baltimore and Ohio, The close was feverish, with a sagging tendency predominat- | ing.

The bulls in wheat, paraphrasing a well- | known rhyme, altered to apply to present con- | ditions “of "heavy recelpts, were ndividually saying: | “What care T how much they be While Wall-street buyers stick to me.

BOSTON, Jan. 25.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The demand for wool is still quiet. Manu- facturers are not buying liberally. The cloth- ing trade is holding off from purchasing and will continue to hold off as long as it thinks that it is for its advantage to do so. The re- markably strong position of the market abroad has very materially stiffened the ideas of holders of wool here, especially quarterblood stock, and prices are really firmer than they have been for some months. There has been more activity in Texas wools the past week, the transactions of the week aggregating about 275,000 pounds. Territory wools have been in fair demand, whereas but ittle business was reported in pulled wools. The sales of the week in the Boston market amount to 2,869,000 pounds domestic and 655,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 3,554,000 pounds, against a total of 2,885,500 for the pre- Vious week: LONDON WOOL MARKET. LONDON, Jan. 25.—At the wool auction sales to-day 15,421 bales were offered. A good selec- tlon of cross-breds was offered and were taken largely by the American representatives, their purchases for the series so far reaching 4000 bales. Good merinos were briskly bid for the home trade. Several parcels of greasy merinos were taken for Russia at full rates. The a tendance was unusually large. FOREIGN' MARKETS.
