New York, Jan. 14-The stock market
opened strong under the favorable aus
pices Of higher quotations for our Sc
curities in London and of further intelli-
gence of a more pacific trend in political
developments. In the movement most of
the general list touched retrogressive fig
ures slightly below yesterdays final sales.
The sharp Improvement was noted in
share values at the opening, the advance
being stimulated by higher London cables
and purchases for that account. Favor
able political news and the conviction now
generally expressed as to the unqualified
success Of the new government loan are
factors in the market. New York Central
advanced per cent, Rock Island and
Lake Shore !. The announcement of the
engagement Of 81, 400, 900 gold for export to-
morrow served to stem the advance of
prices and a general recession ensued in
which Rock Island figured for ! per cent.

THE WOOL MARKET.
/ - t.lrat
continues to be quiet there is a steady
tone to prices. The sa.es have been up
to the average but represent several good
! lots which were spoken for the week
| previous, but were only purchased this
week. The tariff situation on wool re-
mains unchanged and a number of wool
| owners have withdrawn their clips for the
present in the hope that the proposed tar
| If VIII become law, so that they may
obtain the benefits of the advance in
! prices. on the other hand there are d
/ number of owners who are not so san
| guine of the new tariff and are selling at
| present rates with a slight advance of &c
per pound in some cases rather than take
! chances. Fleece woods show a firm tone
with strong prices. The market for terri
! tory woods is quieter although prices are
on a steady basis and a fair trade in
some lines has been made.
