MARKETS OF THE WORLD
Local, Eastern and Foreign
Commercial Dealings
WALL STREET SPECULATION
Strong Efforts to Neutraiize Effects OF
Reduced Dividends
WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Trading Mainly Professional With
the Net Result of Small Gain
IN Most Stocks.

NEW, YORK, Jan. 1.-The stock market
today generally speaking. reflected the
efforts OF powerful fclancial interests TO
neutralize the effect of the reduction OF
Delaware and Hudson dividends. Manipu-
lation was eveident In the high priced
stocks for effect upon the general list A
tendency toward a higher level was ap-
parent at the outset which was influenced
by foreign buying in this market and the
execution of orders for commission ac-
count. The expectation of Improvement
in impending railway traffic returns slim
ulated an inquiry for the leading railroad
stocks. The traders disregarded stronger
market for foreign exchange owing to the
more reassuring Washington advices re-
garding the Cuban question and made de-
cided efforts to advance prices. The
strength of the exchange market was due
to large purchases of bills by prominent
lower Wall street interests and the light
offerings were subsequently supplemented
by supplies of recently boarded exchange.
Actual rates rose lightly but the advance
in posted figures was more noteworthy.
The upward movement was checked soon
after the end Of the first hour by vigorous
drive at the high priced industrials and
renewal of liquidation In the coalers. Busi-
ness was less active Oh the decline, but the
pressure was very persistent and event
ually material losses were recorded in n
number of stocks. The railway shares
were well supported and rallied easily,
partly on covering. The closing was
steady, with the net changes un1nportant,
aside from the specialties. The bond mar
ket was steady and higher in most in
stances. some of the inactive measures
excepted. Chicago and Northern Pacific
frsts trust receipts. developed activity
and strength after long continued neglect
and rose 2 per cent. to AZ. The sales were
1.559.00c. The more noteworthy declines
extended from to per cent. Government
bonds ruled generally firm on transactions
of $500.

A SCIENTIFIC LECTURE.
B. r. Baumgardt Discourses Before the
onomical Section.

The astronomical section of the acad-
emy of science held its regular monthly
meeting Tuesday evening at the resi-
dence of Mr.. j. D. Hooker, 325 Adams
street.
The subject of the evening was The
Eccentricity of the Earth's Orbit and the
Procession of the Dquinoxes as Factors
in Producing Glacial Epochs by MIR. b.
Il. Baumgardt In his lecture it was
Mr. Baumgardts aim to prove that the
measure of our thermometer is a pure
ly arbitrary one. We compare it with
the boiling and freezing point of water,
whereas If we compared a falling tenn
perature of 80 degrees with the average
fall of the thermometer summer and
winter with the absolute zero point of
stellar space. which is about 800 degrees
below zero (FahrenheiO. we would find
that instead of being so per cent, as our
thermometer would indicate, it would
simply be a fall of per cent.
From this we learn how small a decline
of the suns heat will be sufficient for
great climatic changes on the surface of
the earth. In accordance with Kepler's
first law of planetary motion the earth
is moving round the sun in an cllipge and
is about the 1st of January 5000, 900
miles nearer the sun than il is on the let
of June.
II the solar system consisted simply
of the earth and the sun. this ellipso
would forever remain constant. But IN
accordance with Newton's first law of
gravitation, that every body attracts
every other body in the universe in di-
rect proportion TO their mass, and in
versely as the square of the distance, it
follows that all ether plareta revolving
around the sun must exert great dis
turhances in the otherwise normal orbit
of our earth.
The. two planets which are especially
important in creating perturbations in
the earths orbit are Venus and Jupiter
Their combined influence causes an os-
cillation II the ellipticity of the earth's
orbit which requires several hundred
thousand years for its compensation.
The procession of the equinoxes, that
