WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Market Cuts Loose From Depressing
Foreign Influence
Diminished Activity on the Part of Bear
Leaders-Close Heavy But With
General Net Advance

Associate Press. Special Wire
New YORK, Jan. S.-The local stock mar
ket today cut loose from the foreign influ-
ences that have recently affected it. The
speculation was decidedly less feverish
than heretofore, and the volume of busi-
ness showed diminished activity by the
bear leaders. Previous to the opening the
London cables reported increased tension
in European political circles and fractional
declines in American securities at the CEN
ter. Nevertheless, home prices moved
sharply upward during the first hour of
business, with the appreciation most
marked in the grangers. The market was
strengthened by the reported deposit of
$500, 900 in gold in exchange for green
backs by national bank. 1t developed
later that the gold was simply deposited
for examination and would not figure in
the treasury reserve. The absence of ap-
plicatons for clearing certificates by the
banks and an easy condition of the call
money market also had favorable effect.
The upward movement was resumed
around III o'clock under the stimulus
of sharp advances in the anthracite
coal. Sugar was manipulated upward
paTtly III cOnneCtlOu WIN Te6OiutlOn OF
the stockholders at the annual meeting to-
day ratifying the policy of the manager
ment. ASIDE from the coalers the improve-
ments in the active shares ranged from l
to per cent. The grangers were bought
freely for local account and St. Paul aud
other shares for foreign account on reports
OF freer movement of corn. A feature OF
the market lending strength to the general
market was revived sharp inquiry for in.
vestment bonds. No gold was engaged for
export on saturday, but 100000 in coin
was withdrawn, presumably for Canadian
account. The total amount of gold depos.
tied at the sub-treasury was 500, ,O0O, none
of which, as far as can be lea net1, was for
treasury reserve account. In the late deal
ings there was a sharp reaction. The clos
ing was heavy, but wi h a general net adj
vance. The railway bond market showed
decided strength throughout the day liberal
gains being noted in many issues. The
total sales were $2,l $4,000.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE American
Relief association has received the fol-

Il received your letter of November
IA. We were glad to hear from you
You ask US to give the details OF the
maSsacreS. 1t is impossible to describe
to you all that has happened here. L
can only state the facts briefly.
''On Tuesday the Turks began carry
ing away our live stock from morning
until night, and we learned from them
that we were going to be attacked on
Wednesday morning.
cat the first onslaught we lost ten or
fifteen persons. Fully 1000 Turks and
Kurds crowded into the town and it
was fmsposible for US to protect it.
We tried to appeal to the officials for
protection, but failed. We waited I'M.
til evening, and then, daring to wait
no longer, started for the Monastery
without taking food. The Turks had
full possession of the town and the
number Of our slain was thirty. In the
morning, we found that even the
monastery, which was filed with men,
women and children, was not safe.
Thursday noon gang of $50 Turks be-
gan to hammer at the heavy iron door,
trying 10 IOrCG 1t, OUT we n0lQ OUT uQ-
til night. Then they pulled the wall
down next to the door and opened 1t
in that way. In an hour 1900 people,
mostly women and children, were rob-
bed and the women, among whom were
a number. Of brides. were brutalIy as
saulted. The cry of the women and
children was deafening. After the
Turks and Kurds had satisfied their
beastly lust, they left the monastery.
Then all of US who we're able in order
to save our lives, started for the noun
tatns with only the clothes we had on,
leaving our homes and possessions In
the hands of the Turks. Now, within
twenty days at least 1000 have been
killed, among whom were two of our
priests. Six hundred homes and stores
have been reduced to ashes and the
rest of the living have been forced to
accept Mohammedanism. MY father is
killed and we are left homeless, hungry
and will be without a single garment.
Barefooted we wandered among the
ruins of our desolated homes, begging
for anything to keep us alive. Before
spring comes we must die unless we are
helped We are strangers in our own
town. oh, for Gods sake, send us
succor lest we perish. This is but a
little account Of our miserable condi-
ton. Read it to all the Armenians that
they may know our sorrows. Is there
no Christians there, Qn ArnericaA to
