Market-Industrials the Strongest Fea-

Dearth of Speculation.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-The stock market to.
day has again been very dull, the business OF
the day being the smallest for full day for
many weeks, while the fluctuations were strict
ly in harmony with the trading and again there
is not single change Of note from yesterdays
figures. The speculative spirit. for the time
being. seem: entirely dead. but money is ex-
tremely easy and the banks have accumulated
suplus which would insure ease for months to
come; and with such an amount of money lying
iile there is likely TO be renewal of the spec
ulation before the April settlements come
along.
London came lower this morning, and in the
absence of any demand from domestic sources,
although London was not seller here, the
traders who now control the making of quota
tions opened the market of from IA to % per
| cent with considerable pressure upon a few
leading stocks in the early dealings. There
was a dearth of offerings, however, at the
prices established and there was an effort to
get back the stocks put out, which had the
effect of stffenlng mp the temper of the mar
ket Immediately, and. except in a few stocks
the early losses were regained.
The 1ndustrials were the most prominent
features, and Chicago Gas for time displayed
some strength. rising "a per cent, the moving
| force being the reorganization and compromise
the stock after IL o'clock. however, and all the
| improvement was lost, with something IN addi-
| tion, the stock becoming quite weak in the
last hour. Lead was also sold down late in the
day.
New England was, if anything, the strong
point in the railroad list, while considerable
| pressure upon Atchlson forced it of 4 fraction.
One of the features of the day was the offering
down of San Francisco 1st preferred to 50 bid
II later sold at 81 against 70 last week, but a
later sale was made at 62h. The rest of the
list were very dull and featureless throughout
and the market at the close was steady for the
general list, while displaying some weakness
among the leaders.
Railroad bonds to day were relatively more
active than stocks, but the business of the day
amounted to only s.. 10000, which was divided
among large number of issnes. There was
also more strength displayed than in shares
and while the important changes are few in
number, they are generally in the direction of
higher prices.

A Funny Blessing,

I'm sure I'd have long ago ceased to exist,
Or existed with brain rather haAy,
Or, perhaps, Teen condemned my abode to
take up
With those poor souls their friends declare
crazy,
For the sladowy days and the hours of gloom
have known far outnumber the sunny;
But this is what saved mel always could see
The side Of the world that is funny,
How to che ose the bost pathway through life
have thought
Till my brow have marked with two creases.
I have built the most beautiful castles In
Spain.
I've lost friends a-many In various ways;
l had never had half enough money;
But Despair passed me by, for l always could
The side of the world that is funny.
And firmly believe that the more we con
laugh
The stronger we'll be to face sorrow;
| So accept of lifes worries the least that yor
can,
And be sure that you none of them borrow
| Aud if, looking for sweets you find only the
| comb
From which some ones extracted the honey
| You won't mind it a bit if so blessed you cal
The side OF the world thatis funny:

and mule trains throneing our streets,
and the teamsters passing their leisure
hours in wild carousals. the reports Of
road agents holding up the coaches, and
rowing bands OF Indians attacking emf
grants and freighters, it is difficult to
prevent comparison between those
and the present days notcomplimentary
to this period OF railroads, civilization
and hoboes. "reminiscences of the old
days rush into ones mind but are SO
familiar to the old timers as to need no
repetition here, while the more recent
arrivals can hardly understand the
regrets which followed that last coach
yesterday, and would doubtless at this
time care little about the days gone by.
