prices in the leading staples. AS yer tIaous
has been running light, the markets having
barely settled down 20 their usual shape after
the holidays. The jobbing business was quite
tame and movements rather slow. This, Of
course. Is attributed to this being the early
part of the month and the slOwness Of col
Iecuons in the interior. Pretty much
all departments are featureless. The
money market Is comparatively easy, which
has made speculation in securities more active
than usual. sim, there Is a good outside in
quiry for interest paying stocks and bonds,
and the leading ieatEre Of the security mar
ket is the rapid and marked advance IN Cen
trial Railroad stock. 20 being fun six points.

worthy OF mention in the general list, which
can be seen by reference to another column.
