New York. Jan. 24.-The stock market
displayed more life and animation to-day,
and the temper of speculation was decid-
eddy more bullish than of late The i'm
provement was the result of the easier
condition of the local money market, the
fact that no gold was taken for shipment
to Europe Tomorrow and the moro pacific
political outlook. Quotations from London
for American securities came higher and
buying orders were received from that
center, all of which contributed to the rise
| here. There were free purchases to cover
short contracts End also a liberal sprink-
ling of buying orders for the long account
In the early trading efforts were made to
break Tobacco and other specialties but
while the former yielded point, II SUISSE
quently advanced twice as much The rise
in the remainder of the list was equal to
14G3 per cent, and although the dealings
were not large in the aggregate they were
better distributed than Of late The ia
yorable statement OF the st. Paul for the
third week of January helped all the Gran
ger stocks and the Anthracite coaiers were
strengthened by the efforts making by the
Presidents to secure better rates for coal
