Stocks md Rnnds.

New York, Jan. 2.-Business in stocks was
again restricted to-day by the holiday in
terruption, but the tone of the market was
strong throughout, with the specialties the
features OF the speculation. Higher Lon
don prices for American securities, cover
ing of short contracts, and the expectation
of an increased investment inquiry for Sc
curities as a result of the January dis
bursementS by the government railway COR
porations and banking institutions, esti-
mated in the aggregate at about 800 900, ,000
were the strengthening influences. Sugar
improved slightly. The market closed
strong at slight general gains as result
of the weeks trading.
Dealings in railway bonds to-day were on
a limited scale, but a firm tone was dis
cernible.

IN the corresponding time a year ago, 76,-
S 05S 600 bushels two years ago and 1OO,Oi3.-
OOJ bushels three years ago.
+. G. Logan, of Chicago. wired W. w.
Cowen yesterday: Our cable reads: Hol-
iday; wheat firm; damage to Argentine
crop confirmed There appears little
doubt the smallest estimates of Argentine
surplus for export are correct. The rela-
lively high price for wheat as compared
must not be ignored and may offset the
very strong legitimate position of wheat
to some extent by substituting the cheap
er articles"

AMERICAN HARDwoops.
Growing Demand for Them Which
Is being Felt in Europe.

From Garden and Forest.
The demand for American hardwoods In
Europe is growing, and oak leads the for
eign shipments, although tulip.poplar ash,
gum and black walnut whenever a good
quality can be secured, are in some de-
mand. European consumers like the quail
ity of American oak, and. since it Is known
to be plentiful here, 1t viii probably be in
increasing demand Cottonwood has been
shipped to Germany in considerable guam
titles, where cheap wood is required for
furniture and other uses. Much of this lum-
Der is forwarded from New Orleans, and
since a great part of the oak. ash. poplar,
cottonwood and other timbers demanded
by the foreign market Is in the Southern
states, 1t is not improbable that lumber
for foreign markets will be largely shipped
in future from the Gulf ports. In speak,
ing of this matter the Northwestern Lum-
herman says that the European market
requires lumber cut of exact thickness and
of accurate length, trimmed so as to have
the butts square and true. Space for pill
ing In the yards of the old world Is an OBJ
ject. so that random. uneven lengths are
Objectionable, and, since the foreign buyer
insists that he shall have Just what he
bargained for, quality should be strictly
attended to.
