STOCKS ACTIVE AND HIGHER.
A fee rein was given to the speculation for an
advance in stocks, and the Board presented during
the afternoon the aspect OF an old-fashioned 'bull
market" the "January rise," or whatever else may
be styled the present upheavai OF prices resulting
in large accession of business, as evidenced in the
extended list OF sales printed below. The very
original remark about "letting on steam," &c, so
customary on occasions like the present and which
was used to-day thousand times, proSably Is
about to be amended so as to modernize it to the
latest sensation about ''superheated steam," par
ticularly as the dangers OF imitation and explosion
facilities OF speculative operators. The rise took
in nearly everything on the list, and ranged from
d up to "a per cent.
THE WIDEST PUNCTUATION
being again in Pacific Mail, which advanced to
1914, despite an industriously circulated statement
that the steamer Alaska was now four days
due at Hong Kong in the short trip between that
port and Yokohama, occupying usually only seven
or eight days. Heretofore 1t has been the most
difficult work for the most persevering OF inter-
viewers to extract the least item of news about
disasters from the officials OF the company; but
to-day the facts about the Alaska, which came
from Kong Kong by Asia, Europe and the cable,
were in every brokers' Office all over Wall street
within the brefest possible space OF time after
their receipt. People who fond OF philosophizng
on singular matters and of studying by synthesis
and analysis can derive
THEIR OWN INFERENCE.
New York Central advanced to 1861, and the
Northwestern stocks were marked up per cent.
Rock Island touched 1142S and Boston, Hartford
and Erie a. Our comparative table below will
tell the story of the advance elsewhere. The ex-
ceptiohs to the rise were Union Pacific and At
lantc Mail. The former went or about one
per cent on the action OF the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations in reporting favor
ably the House bill to withhold pay
nient to the Pacific railroads fer government
transportation, and the latter fell from 0 toe on
stories Of the company's bankruptcy, but rallied
to So.

THURSDAY. Jan. 23-6 M.
On 'Change to-day cotton was in better demand,
and the market was nc. per pound better, both
for "spot' and future" Flour was less active,
'but firm, while wheat and corn were quiet and
easy, but not materially changed in value.
THE GOVERNMENT SALE OF GOLD.
The bids for the government gold sold at the
6ub-Treasury called for total OF $3,963, 000 at
prices ranging from 1881 to 113.e3H. The million
was awarded at 11363H 1881.
THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The chief feature in the foreign market has been
the reductions of the Bank of England minimum
rate OF discount from AZ to per cent, the specie
account Of the bank showing for the week gain
of f432, 900. C0nsos in London show Slight i'm
provement; our bonds have been steady and Fries
have advanced to 5OH.
MONEY STEADY.
The money market was steader at a per cent
with the bulk of the days business on stock COL
laterals at the higher figure. Among the govern
ment dealers the transactions were evenly divided
at the two quotations. Mercantile paper was quiet
and rates were about as last quoted. VIZ, q 10
per cent discount for prime names. Foreign ex-
change was weaker for sight sterling. which was
sold at 11O7i, and nominally higher for sixty day
bills. The latter were done at 1osX. The mar
rover margin between the two kinds OF bills Is the
consequence of the easier terms for money in Lon
don the street rate having been reported at as low
Rs 3A per cent.

The clique in the gold market advanced the price
of gold from 1881 to l1s in face of the lower rates
for money In London and the easier tenor of the
foreign exchanges. For the past few weeks the
gold speculation has been strengthened by ma
tural causes, but its partisans now likely to
commit the mistake Of conducting their operations
on fictitious basis. The confluence Of weaker
exchange and easier money in London Is in direct
opposition to their plans. 1t was supposed they
had sold out the news Of the success OF the Syn.

day indicate that they still heavily interested

specie shipments and tend to foster the negotia-
ton not only of the new loan in Europe but also
of pending railway loans and other similar under
takings seeking capital abroad. The outGo of specie
to-day was $256,oOo. The Sub-Treasury paid out

MORE STRIKES.

oo,eral strike Of railroad engineers
has taken place on the Pan Handle rail-
road and branches, and on some OF Its
connections. It is not clear that this
was done with the full sanction. of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
lint il was nevertheless well concerted
and general strike. The railroads re-
duced the pay OF its employees ten per
cent on the LIST of December, on very
short notice; hence the strike. The re-
sult will be as usual. Labor is not yet
able TO wrestie successfully with capital.
Engineers will be found outside OF the
brotherhood, and the trains will soon be
running as usual, and the strik
ers will perhaps be compelled
10 surrender their charter and dissolve
their organization, as did the engineers
Mt Knoxville before being permitted to
20 to work again at the reduced rate.
Capital is omnipotent; it is unit, and
II has no aualms OF conscience or bowels
Of compassion. Capital is pitiless and
aggressive. When it cracks its whip
over the poor man whose wife and babies
in the little house he calls home are
waiting for bread, and coal, and shoes
and flannel, what can he do but sue
cumb? He may hold out for short
time but like hunted hare smoked out
of a tree. he will sooner or later have to
surrender Internationally. The most
formidable strike generally fritters
away and starves out its strength.
We sympathize with the poor men who
are thus Inundated for seeking what
annears to be their rights and simple
iustiee. Yet we have never seen many
of these strikes result in good to the
laboring classes. They are crushed at
last and monopoly hangs up the laurels
of another victory in its gorgeous pal
aces. Detection within, want at the door
and power without soon determine the
struggle between paternal affection and
a sense Of wrong in the laboring man >
bosom. AS Cowper says;
my ear is panied,
