Active and Excited Opening of the stock Market-ReaIizinS Sales De- press the General Ltst-A Drop in Manhattan-The Close Heavy. NEW YORK, Jan 14. The stock market opened with great activity and excitement this morning. The usual bear drive at distillers, we'll the liquidation at
 ura after the sustained rise of the past few days neutraizing for some time the effect of the urg- ent buying demand which has been the feature Of the past few days First pricss were generally
 small fractions higher than those of last night,
 but the pressure to sell forced fractional conces-
 sions in all parts of the list but only in three four stocks were the fluctuations of any import ance. Dist'llers yielded rather more easily than for the past two days to the drive against it at the opening and loss of per cent. was quickly established, 54 being the lowest quotation. At the same time some selling of Manhattan drove 1t down to Fl against 17434 yesterday, while Louisville. New Albany and Chicago rose per cent. Consolidated gas showed come fiuctua- tions, but no decided tendency. The demand soon changed the temper of the speculation, and distillers rallied about per cent while Manhat- tan was brought up to within a small fraction of yesterdays best price. New England, St. Paul,
 Western Union and Reading were prominent for activity and all rose small fractions in unison with the general list. At II o'clock the market
 was active and strong at the improvement.
 The market remained extremely active after II
 o'clock, but despite an excellent bank statement
 the realizing pressure gradually forced prices of
 slightly. There was no special movement of
 note except in Manhattan, which gradually
 dropped away below l7O, and Distillers again
 lost its rally. The market finally closed active
 and, while heavy in figures displayed 8 strong
 undertone still.

Inferior Goods.

The only safe way for purchasers is to insist on having the genuine article, and not allow themselves to bs swindled by having plssters said to be ''just as good, " or containing superior ingredients" i'm posed upon them. These are only tricks to sell inferior goods that no more compare with Allcock's Porous Plasters than copper does with gold. One trial of Allcock's Porous Plssters will convince the most skeptical of their merits.
 The eminent Henry A. Mott, jr., Ph. D., F. c. S., late government chemist, cer- tifes:
 "My investigation of Allcock's Porous Plaster shows 1t to contain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other plaster, and I find it superior to and more efficient than other plaster"
 Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a sub stitute.

by the Genial Professor f

While the large audience at the Hype rion thester were witnessing Saturday evening the children's fete and carnival given in aid of the Leila Day nursery Professor Marwig, the musical director had his attention distracted from the per formance by representatives of his cred itors, whom he satisfied by paying the bills and costs. First Deputy Sheriff Pond sp peared with an attachment for $100 in { suit brought by Benjamin R. English, ad ministrator of the estate of the late Samue Crane of the Elliott house. Mir. Fnglist had discovered that Marwig had owed tn, estate for board and instituted proceed ings to collect the bill.
 The professor had no sooner settled that account and gotten rid of the sheriff thar special constable appeared with gar nishee writ for $17, claimed by Franl Fichti, leader of the Philharmonic orches. tra.
 Fichtl was engaged by Professor Mar wig to play in the orchestra. He appeared at the rehearsal last Thursday morning, leaving the theater in the afternoon to get his dinner against the wishes of the pro. lessor, who threatened to get New York musician to take his place. Saturday night, when Mir. Fichtl went to the theatsr, he found New York musician in his seat. He demanded his salary and Professor Marwig gave him an o. K. bill, which MT. Fichtl failed to get cashed at the ticket office, because he could not find the cash. fer. Then he went out and got an attach ment. Notwithstanding the annoyances the professor maintained his geniality and directed the beautiful show under his charge with his usual ability and success.

THE HBIKEo SULKY.

What MT. Underhill Thinks of Its
 Speed Effects.
 MT. Underhill, formerly of the Sports man, now manager of the New York de- partment of the Breeder, uses up nearly three columns of space in that paper in an argument to show that the new tangled sulky quickens the speed of horses an av- craze of eight seconds to the mile. To reach this conclusion he takes sixty of the better known performers, gives their for mer record, subtracts that made last sea- son, carrying out to the third column the number of seconds clipped off from each. From the total of seconds (472a) he strikes an average of IS 15. Few horsemen in theee progressive days would care to put themselves on record as believing that none of these sixty horses, most of them scarcely in their prime of life, would have beaten their own time hooked to the old style vehicle In look ing over tho list, one recognizes quite 8 number of names which the late Tom King mentioned nearly year ago now ss possible candidates for the classes which he was at the moment considering for the then coming season. He referred especi- ally to Martha Wilkes, Belle Vara, Night ingsle and some of the others as good for quite number of seconds better than their mark. "Vara will beat 2:1O some sertion-and the "bike'' wasn't thought of then. And Little Albsrt, too, is rated in the list ss having gone his limit in I'll at the old style, whereas the careful prophet quoted above said to the writer that if the little horse rounded to in good shape, he was 8 possible candidate for Maud S.'s honors The case of the bay gelding, David Jones, Is cited by MT. Underhill as strong argument i'll favor of his theory. David has been campaigning in the vicinity of New York for several years, and had been almost invincible in the '25 class He ob tained record of '249 in 1891, winning his race in straight heats, and there does not appear to be any evidence that he could not have gone little faster in that race if the horses back of him had pushed him, but his gain of T seconds the past season is entirely credited to the "bike." Still it is 6 fact that opinions on the questions at issue are as numerous as sands on the shore, and they are not likely to be as- simulated unless perchance Martha Wilkes draws an old style close to her 'bike" rec ord during the season, as her owner now contemplates.
 The grand circuit meeting at Buffalo will open August and continue ten days. The total amount offered by the associa- tion in stakes and purses is $75, ,0OO There are three 5000 purses for trottofs, three of $3, 900 each for pacers, seventeen of g., GOO each, and seven of $500 each.

BANKS OF THE STATE.
An Increase in Deposits During the

An Increase in Deposits During the
 Year of over Eight Millions.
 The annual report of the state bank com missioners shows the number of savings banks now in operation in the state to be eighty eight, an increase of one over the re- port of last year:
 The assets of these banks to October, 1899, are total of S13s, ,659 91349, net increase over the previous year of $s,4te, ,ss7.s6.
 The liabilities amount to Sl3s 659, .49, gain over 1891 of $s5ls,ss7. s6. The number of depos- itors having less than $1 900 is 293 723, with to tai amount of deposit of $57 9o5.11. Deposit OTIS having over S1 O00 and less than g. 000 26 SsS with total deosit of $35, ,533, ,d41.27.
 Deposftnrs having over S2 900 and not over SlOtOo, '0,707, with amount of $35s53, ,593 51. De- positors having oyer S1o,OOo, 133, with total
 The largest amount loaned to single individ- ual society or corporation is ,00O.
 The tables show an increase in deposits of $8,- 104 569 57 and in o1al asse of $9, 5s3, ,sO' s4.
 This rapid increase, the report states, must soon lessen the amount of dividends paid deposi- tors, as the fields for profitable investments are narrowing. It is suggested as remedy that the law now in vogue compelling savings banks to 30,Ge0 or over be modified so that investments may be made in cities smaller, where the credit is exactly as good.
 The state banks have remained the same in the number and amount of capital during the yesr. They show net increase of surplus of S72 SIS 24 The number of trust co upanies doing banking business is tep the same as last year. They show an increase of surplus of $63 882 35.
 The number of companies from other states which have complied with the laws of 1887 and are now doing business here ia twenty seven.
