CHARTER OF INCORPORATION
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-01-05
STOCK AND BOND MARKET.

New York, Jan. 1.-The stock market
to-day was dull and irregular with a low
err tendency. The forenoon trading was
narrow, although the Changers were a
trife less sluggish than the general list
Lower London prices and foreign sales
stimulated near aggression, but the mar
ket received effective support at intervals
and covering was quite apparent in some
Of the specialties. Around l o'clock the
market sold off sharply on the announce
ment of the st. Paul bank failures. Al
though the news OF the suspension was
attended by statements OF belief that the
troubles were only local, the effect was
to unsettle the confidence of conservative
interests. The bears were also helped
by the prevailing uneasiness regarding
possible Congressional action on some inn
portant financial measures. The large
security holders in the leading shares con-
tinue to augur hopefully OF the immediate
of the market, owing to the high price OF
and sharp foreign demand for wheat, the
exceptionally large accumulations of
funds, expectations of reviving business
and the easier tendency OF money abroad.
The bears lay stress upon the absence Of
outside interest, bank failures and dull
ness of general trade. The closing was
duh and weak, at important net losses
in many shares.
Governments were dull but strong The
transactions were $4,000.
State issues were active and higher with
the Virginia issues absorbing the bulk
OF the trading.

SHOCKS.

New York, Jan. 4.-Stoek market de-
veloped renewed weakness and irregu-
larity to-day owing to continued alb
sence of outside business and last weeks
buyers influence Ito liquidate by the re-
ported failure Of fhree more banks at st.
Paul, weaker foreign cables accompanied
by selling orders and uncertainty in re-
gard to the SenatGs action on the Cuban
question. There was some show Of
strength at the opening on efforts Of the
traders who bulle6 the market on Sat
urday to stir up soGne bullish enthusiasm
and prices advanced fractionally. 1t
was only temporary however, for it was
soon noticed that no outside buying or
ders were forthcoming. AS the day pro-
crossed, the market Ielapsed into extreme
dullness and broke III the afternoon upon
last weeks buyers endeavoring to sell
out. There was no support and under
their offerings, all CHE early improve
ments were lost and :the market closed
dull and weak in tong with prices gen.
orally II to / per cent below Saturdays
final quotations. The selling pressure
was directed principally against Sugar,
Gas, General Electric. Manhattan, West
ern Union, st. Paul, Rock Island and
Louisville. The bank troubles in the
West and moderate London selling in the
narrow and sensitive condition of the
market naturally weakened it. The
speculation is at the best very small
affair, and with the room= traders in con-
troll Of the market, we look for contin-
uation Of the present small and narrow
fluctuations. The operations of the trad
ers win be influenced to i great extent
for the next few days by the news from
Washington In regard to tile Senate's
action on the Cameron resolution, aud
the news from the West on the mercan-
flle and financial situation.

New York, Jan. 4-The cotton market

and ruled weak for the balance OF the.
day. closing at the lowest, a
DECLINE of IL to IA points. The
second Liverpool cables showed weak
ness, which started selling right after
opening. and in addition to this the news
from Fall River was disappointing. The
baIk situation in the Northwest was
the. cause of selling in the afternoon.
The trade at large showed very little IN
terest in the market, buyers being rapid
Iy discouraged and with the large move

unsatisfactory, and Western financial
sinlq9ion uncertain, the disposition to buy
was easily satisfied.

ed to lsold the market steady. but later
the coIstinued absence of outside specu-

and the light Northwest receipts, and
large decrease in wheat on passage, the
market opened up firm at an advance of

then the visible supply statement was
announced, showing an increase Of 20S,-
600 bushels fer the week which with an
increase of ], $40 900 in the English visi-
BILE, and of three bank failures at st.

GEMS OF TROUGHT.

Men must decide what they will not
do, and then they are able to act with
vigor in what they ought to do.
The only faith that wears we'll and
holds it's color in all weathers is that
which is woven of conviction and set
with the sharp mordant of expert
ence.
On great occasions it is almost al
ways women who have given the
strongest proofs Of virtue and devo-
ton; the reason is that with men good
and bad qualities are in general the
result Of calculation, while in women
they are impulses springing from the
heart.

Kerry squire's, sauntered up. His own
er walked into the saloon and laid a
quarter behind cuspidor. Mike, "
said he when he returned, 81 left a

it, Mike looked up intelligently and
ran into the room, coming back present

time he ever failed me-" said Larry,
with some chagrin, as he walked in and
picked up the coin. Then, looking at it
closely: "Why, no wonder the dog

A Story of q StOrk.

A pretty story of a stork is told by
The Neckar Zeitung. About the end Of
March a pair of storks took up their
abode ON the roof of the schoolhouse in
the village Of Pappenhofen. One of the
birds appeared to be exhausted by its
long journey and the bad weather
which it had gone through. On the
morning after its arrival the bird was
found by the schoolmaster lying on the
ground before the schoolhouse door.
The man, who, like all Germans,
Thought it a great piece of good luck to
have the storks' nest on his house, pick
ed up the bird and took it indoors. He
nursed it carefully, and when it was
well he used every morning to carry it
to the fields short distance from the
house, where its mate appeared regular
ly at the same hour TO supply it with
food. The stork Is now cured, but is
still faithful TO its preserver. Every
evening 1T flies down from the roof and
|gravely walks by the side of its friend
from the schoolhouse to the meadows,
accompanied by wondering crowd of
Village children.
