NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. January 1.-THE great
topic Of discussion in financial circles To-
day was the dissolution Of the Nor
gan bond syndicate.
The dissolution of the syndicate
would have had no important bearing
on the market for securities had II
not been for the manner in which the
head of the combination OF bankers ana
capitalists handled the matter. Mr.. Nor
gan's explanatory circular. which ac-
companied the official notice of the re-
tirement of the syndicate from the field.
set at rest any doubts that may have
been entertained that the New York
bankers were not heartily in favor of
making the new loan a success. This
much being settled, Wall street return
ed to its usual routine, and Is now
concerned only In knowing how the pay
Jnents for the new bonds are to be made
without disturbance to the money-nar-
ket. 1t is intimated from Washington
that this will be provided for, but no
modification of the original circular Is
likely until after the closing Of the sub
scription- books, on February 5th next.
The opening Of the market was
strong. especially for the international
issues. A period OF hesitancy followed,
traders being unable for the moment
to Judge the effect of the disruption
OF the bond syndicate. London then
came I'm as a moderate buyer of its
fancies, and an advance of 1-fnt IL per
cent followed in the active issues.
Illinois Central, Rubber preferred. and
Northwestern preferred. however, which
are rarely dealt in, gained 2a3 IL per
cent
Speculation then dragged. and prices
yielded slightly all along the line. until
near the close OF business. when the
Industrials, especially Leather preferred
and Chicago Gas. were marked up ra-
pidly. Leather preferred. which had
sold at 81 rs, rose to CO IL. while Chi
cago Gas advanced from g. IS to 65. Sugar
also recovered to 1O2 81, after declining
to 10l S-S
The sharp rise In Leather and Chicago
Gas which was due principally to the
covering OF short contracts. exerted a
favOrabi, influence on the general mar
ket, which closed firm TO strong. BUSH
ness, however was extremely light.
Net changes show advances Of Late
per cent in the active list, and gains
Of lG2i-2 per cent. in the Industrials.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL. January l5.-Through
the strength exhibited by corn In the
morning and by pork and other hog pro-
ducts in vbe afternoon, wheat was en-
abled to advance to-day. but not the en-
tire advance remained at the ciose.
The bears were disposed to act shyiy,
because OF the theory extant that a SUP
stantial bull interest Is developing.
At the opening OF the session prices
were fractionally higher than at the close
OF yesterday, a portion Of that days ten
denotes still lingering In the market;
Then corn began 10 climb higher. and
wheat followed. receding later. however.
During the last hour. buyers again OBJ
tained courage, and another rally was the
result. The sentiment all day was In favor
OF better prices. and outside buying
orders flowed in from all directions.
May wheat opened at from 80 3-S to
80 l-2c., advanced 20 70 1-Sc.. and closed
at % 7-suoc.-l-2a5-Sc. higher than yes
terday.
Cash wheat. in the sample department.
was firm.
Corn-The market was stirred up this
morning, and for some time the pit pre-
sented a scene OF considerable activity.
A prominent short undertook to cover
his outstanding contracts, his efforts re-
sulting in o decided Improvement in
prices, although not affording him a great
amount OF satisfaction. The force OF the
advance extended TO the other grain mar
kets. assisting them materially. When
the demand mentioned had ceased. values
fell away to about the position they were
in when the advance started. Later In
the session there was another rally, but
all that had been lost was not recovered.
May corn opened at Is 5-sc., sold be-
tween 2S 1-2G2S SIS and 20 l-sc.. and closed
at - 1-sc.-l-ic. higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was lac. higher.
Oats partook OF the same character as
corn. with the same individual who figured
actively in tbs latter conspicuous in the
bulge. followed by q smaller recession
and rally later.
May oats closed 1-sG1-4c. higher than
yesterday. Cash cats were firm and a
quarter of a cent higher.
Provisions had boom OF no small con-
sequence to-day. The buying started in
early, that at the opening being intro
duced by another light run OF hogs and
higher prices at the yards. AS the ses-
sion advanced the demand increased and
broadened until 1t embraced all classes
Of operators, shorts, longs, packers, and
outsiders included.
The continued falling off in the supply
of hogs finds explanation in the ravages
of hog-cholera, which took place several
months ago, the effect of which Is now
only beginning to make itself felt In the
large markets. At the close May pork
was 30 1-2c. higher than yesterday. May

Oh, Brother McGrath! you brave,

make public, that nothing is sacred

OF Congress who are pushing the
resolution. Now if this effort had
for it's object the issue of bonds, a
measure which would heavily bur-
den the poor toilers of our Nation
for the benefit of the sumptuously
provided for plutocrats who live,
prey and fatten on the good things
of our great country, little Dick
Olney would, no doubt, smack his
chops and say, "Ah, yes, that reso-
luton! what great statesmen we
have! 0, yes! | am sure the Great
Grover will sign the resolution;
and truly Congress has a right to
ask him to-
Here is what the little x-corpor-
alton lawyer has to say about the
matter:
"The power to recognize the so-called
republic OF Cuba as an Independent State
rests exclusively with the executive. A
resolution on the subject by the Senate or
House, or by both bodies, or by one,
whether concurrent or Joint, is inopera-
tive as legislation and is important only
as advice OF great weight voluntarily ten
dered to the executive regarding the man
ner in which he shall exercise his consti-
tutonal functions.
"The operation and effect OF the pro-
posed Gsolution therefore, ii passed by
both houses OF Congress by two thirds
vote, are perfectly plain. 1t may raise
expectations in some quarters which can
never be realized. 1t may influence pop
ular passions both in this country and
elsewhere, may thus put in peril the lives
and property ot American citizens who
are resident and travelling abroad, and
will certainly obstruct and perhaps de-
feat the best efforts OF this government to
afford such citizens due protection. But,
these possibilities and unless
the advice embodied in resolution shall
lead the executive to revise conclusions
already reached and officially declared,
the resolution will be without effect, and
will leave unaltcred the attitude OF this
towards the two contending
parties in Cuba"

A clever young woman put her wits to

to friend ut the last holidays. There
were four of them and a tray. This last
she wrapped in soft green tissue paper
and tied with narrow ribbon of the
same shade. Then sho turned the cups
upside down in their saucers, that they
might stand more steadily. She set each
saucer in the middle of a round piece Of
violet tinted tissue paper. large enough
to bring around and over the cup and
have large frill standing above. She
gathered the paper together just above
the cup with bit Of violet ribbon, and
spread out the frill-she had previously
cut the edges i'll scallops-so that it
looked like big violet itself.
Then sho set tho cups on the green
covered tray and did the whole parcel
