NEW YoRK, Jan. 0, lso2.-The first
week OF the new year exhibits the gen.
eral activity in the stock market that
our recent skiy advices have fore
shadowed. The disbursement OF over
one hundred millions of January in
terest and dividends is attended with an
active Gomand Tor bonds and for divi-
siend. paving stocks; and those pur-
chases have given stimulus TO the lat
ent feeling in favor OF higher prices and
developed an active speculative move
inent. under wnicn prices have ad-
vanced throughop. the iist. The trans
actions on the exchange have dousied
the volume prevailing during the quiet
OF several preceding weeks. and syinp-
toms seem 10 favor the prepouderant
oplui0n that a campaign OF unusu al
activity has set III which Is likely to
be continued throughout the year.
Opinions differ Us to the results of the
past years business of the country;
some maintaining that neither manu-
facturers nor merchants have made
their usual profits, while others hold
that tho quiet of business has been due
mainly to conservatism following the
crisis of 1890 and that. after all, the
business of 1891 has left nearly an aver
age rate of profit. On this question.
more than upon any other condition
depends the future course of tho stock
market; and the current month will
solve the problem. In the meantime,
the "street' is not likely TO Jump to
a
is likely 10 sustain the market until it
is settled what may be expected from
the "outside" element. In the mean
time, there is likely to be some rea.iz-
ing on recent profits, which probably
range between two and five points and
are therefore tempting to prudent
operators. That process, indeed, is
now in operation; but as such sales are
soon followed by re-purchas&s they
haze no marked effect upon prices.
It is especially important to keep in
view the fact that . new and important
group of stocks will from this time
come into prominence throughIthc for
wardiDg OF the corn crop. The depart
ment of agriculture estimates the out
turn of that crop at 2.06o, ,000. 900
bushels, which is the largest tut one
ever realized. 1t is the last crop to
come into the market, and is now be-
ginning to be moved. The securities
of. the roads dependent upon this grain
haye. In = degree. sympathized with
the improvement in the finances OF the
r0ads serving the wheat belt; but there
is still . liberal margin for further ad-
vance to come from the future reports
of actual increase of traffic; and tins
lengthening of the list of roads show
ing large increases can hardly fail to
have the effect of advancing prices
later. 1t will be the fusion Of new
steam to replace that whic.l has evap-
Grated, and will therefore act as q
sustaining force to the general market.
Ii is questionable whether sutiicien:
importance has been attached TO the
volume OF this years supply of grain
destined to come to the seaboard.

CHhcAGo, Jan. l0.-Early yesterday
morning. after most of the night force
had' been disinissed and only a few
operators wsse scattered around the
operating roois of the Western Union
building, yeIls were heard in the
Wheatstone department. The force on
duty, remembering their experience at
the time of the iire, FASTENED toward
the safety valve-the double doors of
exit. Jack" Condon. veteran and
chief in charge. took in the situation at
a glance from his elevated desk in the
center of the room. He saw that one
of the Office boys had been caught IN
the intricate meshes of the wires in the
Wheatstone department and, quick As
fash, had the current turned off.
That action undoubtedly saved the
boys life. He was writhing in agony,
ali the muscles of hrs face were dis
tortcd, has arms and legs were drawn
up and his body quivered rs though he
was In the grasp OF an octupus. When
he was released he was limp anu al
mos. iifeless for a few seconds, but was
able almost Immediately to resume

MARROW LODGINGS.

Encamping Over Night In the Hollow Of
To be lost in an unknown ccULtfy
with storm coming on is dangerous
and uncomfortable situation. Only a
hunter familiar with woodland craft,
and possessed of courage and hardi.
hood, can hope to escape death or seri-
Gus misfortune. A hunter who had
lived for many years among the Indians
went out on a beaver hunt and got sep
arated from his companions. The snow
fell thick and the wind blew violently
when he tried to find his way back to
camp, and he was soon compelled to
admit to himself that return was i'm
possible.
AS had only bow, arrows and
tomahawk with me, and no way to
strike fire, 1 was in a dismal situation
and as the air was dark with snow l
had little more prospect of steering
my course than should have had in the
night.
At length came to a hollow tree, with
a hole at one side that could get into
I went in, and found the place not only
dry, but about three feet in diameter
and high enough for me to stand in,
while a considerable quantity of soft,
rotten wood lay at the bottom.
/ concluded to lodge here for the
night. With my tomahawk chopped
off the branches of fallen tree and
set them against the opening, until
had it several feet thick all round, with
the exception of a space left to creep in
at. Then prepared a block that
could pull in after me to stop this hole.
When I went in took my tomahawk
and cut down all the dry, rotton wood
| could get, and beat it small. With
this l made a bed like goose nest, and
with the small sticks stopped every
hole, until my house was dark.
took off my moccasins and danced in
the center of my bed for about half an
hour, till my feet and whole body were
agreeably warmed.
The snow in the meanwhile had
stopped all the holes, so the place was
dark as dungeon though 1 knew it
could not yet be dark out of doors. l
coiled up in my blanket and had fair
nights rest. When I awoke all was
dark. [ could hear the storm still
raging, and concluded I would remain
where was.
After awhile I tried to find the door,
and as had nothing but the sense OF
feeling to guide me, the operation took
some time. At last found the block,
but it was heavy, and so much snow
had fallen on it that could not move it,
was terrified. Of all the hardships
I had ever endured, this seemed the
worst. I worked desperately, and at
| length, after what seemed hours of eff.
fort, made my way out of the den.
The only guide I had by which tc
steer my way was the trees; as the
moss generally grows on the northwest
side of them, if they are straight. l
went on slowly, and toward night came
in sight of camp.-Youth's Companion.
