NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. 26.-To-day's move
ment in stocks was irregular, but a firm
tone was discernible in spite Of light
volume Of business. The anthracite coal
shares were again the features, but dis
played improvement on covering and
some purchases for the long account in
duced by the more seasonable weather.
1t is believed. however, that a short in
terest Of fair sized proportions still exists,
based upon the long continued unfavor-
able conditions affecting the industrials
and anticipation Of discouraging annual
reports by the Delaware and Hudson
and Lackawanna companies.
In the general list the grangers and
some of the high priced industrials were
well-supported. Slight reactions occurred
in the forenoon on profit-taking and the
market afterward became intensely dull.
The apathy Of the speculation was re-
lieved in the final hour by heavy Wash
ington purchases of stocks, said to be
inspired by the more favorable outlook
for the international treaty. London
houses sold moderate amounts Of the low
priced shares but at the same time bought
considerable aggregate amount of spec
ulatiye bonds The high grade invest
ment stocks were more conspicuous than
for some time past and in many instances
scored substantial gains. The market
was fairly active and decidedly strong
with a good European inquiry apparent
for specializing issues.
The sales were 81 ,253.000
Governments were neglected but slight
ly higher all around The transactions
were $4,000.

sion of growls and explosive yelps pro-
ceeding from the basement rooms,
where Bob Fitzsimmons' two large dogs
are quarAred, when they are not fol-
lowing their master on his morning
constitutional.
Mike, the porter, came flying up the
stairs in hot haste and informed the
clerk that the two dogs were engaged
in deadly combat and he feared they
would kill each other. FitzsimmonS
and one of his trainers were playing
pool in an adjoining room, and as soon
as they heard the noise came out and
separated the dogs. 1t then deVel-
oped that Mike, the porter who has
been the staunch friend of Yarrum and
the big st. Bernard since their arrival,
injudiciously fed the two dogs without
first separating them. Yarrum, who
is bred to arfstocratic notions, objected
to this and trouble enSued.

pIetely exhausted, and the harvest of
death has begun.
The officials are making efforts to
furnish food for the starving people by
sending in rice, but the supplies they
are able to contribute are SO small and
the numbers of those in direct need is
so great that little good is accomplish
ed. Owing to the difficulty of trans
porting the rice in the famine districts
only those living along the waterways
there is no help and the mortality is
great and growing steadily.
Even in the sections that the relief
supplies reach the amount given to
each family is so small that it serves
barely to sustain life and does not re
lieve the pangs of hunger. No esti-
mate of the loss of life is given but it is
renorted to be heaNY.
