MOVING UPWARD.
Slight Advances In the Prices of all
Stocks.

STOCKS.
New YORK, Jan. G-The stock market
was a little more active to-day, but the In
crease In business was all In three or four
stocks, which monopolized the interest
taken in speculation. At the same time there
was the same strong tone to the dealings
and prices are again higher. The important
advances with but one exception were
made In certain specialties which were
affected by special causes. The coal stocks
still continued to be the most important
group in the market. Though the Read
Ing strike was not such factor as II has
been for the past few days, the stock was
well held and cloted unchanged, while the
ether coalers were very. strong on the sup
position that the strike on the Reading
must bffect them favorably.
The opening was firm TO strong at ad-
vances extending TO J per cent, and was
followed by more animated market than
has been seen for some time, prices moving
up fractionally In the general list, and more
rapidly In some OF the specialties. After the
first hour, however, the market became again
very dull, while prices stagnated, but after
noon Delaware aud Hudson became active
and strong, carrying the general list upward
again. The advance was checked In the
last hour, and slight recessions followed,
but the close was firm though dull at, or
near, the best prices Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from to 5, last loan at 4, and closing Of
fered at 4. Sterling exchange is active
and firm. Actual business at 1921 to 4S23
for 60.day bills, and 4s6l to 1861 for demand.

NEITHER PRO NOR ANTI.

The position taken by the LIGHT
during the past months, on the relation
OF the republican party in Texas to pro-
hibition matters, has been abundantly
sustained by the late convention. Just.
ly regarding this whole matter az
properly belonging to the dominant
political party in the state, the LIGHT
has commended that it was not the
province Of the republican party to
NEEDLE with this question one way or
the other. No man present In the re.
publican convention at Fort Worth
would challenge the accuracy of this
view as representing the sentiment of
the great body of that convention. Its
temper was In marked contrast to that
Of the convention at Waco two years
since, when the determination to force
this issue upon the republicans OF the
state could with difficulty be withstood.
Then, an expression was demanded and
eagerly sought and earnestly oontended
for; now, all unite In demanding that the
party preserve wise silence and let the
democracy dash their brains against
the rock Of sumptuary legislation. That
the republican party in Texas is not
prohibition party is as certain as that
the sun shines. or this fact there is not
the slightest question among those who
are intelligently observant of the party
and have studied its constituent ele-
ments. The cry OF the democratic agi-
tstors that the republican party must
show its hand in this fight, is too trans.
parent. The republican party is not
showing Its hand at this stage of the
game. 1t does not have to. When the
democracy Of Texas are ratified and
Cranfil has the scalp locks of the old war
horses dangling to his belt it may be in
order for the republican party TO step
in and save Texas, but not now. This
question is as certain TO divide the
democracy in Texas as fate, and the re-
publican party would be untrue to every
principle of self protection and self pre-
serVation and unworthy to aspire to the
government Of the state did they reach
forth little finger to aid the democracy
in its present ENHANCEMENT. The pro-
have put full ticket In the
field. This will divide the democracy,
and in the three-cornered fight
that will ensue the republican
candidates will have a show. This
Is the size of it. The republican
at Fort Worth was not
mass meeting Of idiots, unmindful of the
They fully sensed the sit
nation, and while they howled down all |
illusions to the question, they did SO
n order to give no encouragement to
5ither wing Of the democracy. In this
sht the republicans are egging on both
ides, and when the democracy gets
vnded, look out FOR republican rush.
