NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. 22-Many special
movements in stock prices, chiefly de-
clines occurred to-day, ON a light volume
of business. The general effect was weak
ness, although the distribution of the
transactions was very Indifferent. Union
Pacific ruled superior to the downward
tendency on expectation of an agreement
between the, government and the re-or-
ganiza ton interests involving cooperate
steps for the foreclosure of the Union
Pacific and Kansas Pacific properties.
The official announcement of the agree
inent did not reach the street until long
after the close of business. The stock
developed strength and activity in the
late session. The weak features of the
market incauded the anthracites and btu
minous coal shares which were depressed
by the acknowledged unfayorable condi-
tion of those industries and some of the
specialties and industrials.
Tobacco fell nearly two per cent on the
decision by Judge Fitzgerald that the
directors of the company must stand trial
for conspiracy. The general market open
ed weak and soon sagged sharply under
drive ait the coal shares, but the losses
were comparatively less severe than in
that group. Soon after the first hour
supporting orders led to substantial inn
provements in prices under the leadership
OF sugar. The market became intensely
duh after midday and the dealings lacked
special feature until the closing hour
when renewed pressure was brought to
bear on the eoalers and tobacco.
The market closed dull and weak with
the net losses slight in the more prom
inent stocks.
Railway bonds were moderately active
and generally firm. There We're few
changes of consequence, aside from those
referred to in the stock review The
sales We're $1,519,000.
Governments were in brisk demand
and improved slightly on purchases of
$4,000. State bonds were firm. Vir-
ginia centuries touching 81, on purchases
of S11 500.

continue TO live and existence of untold

the result OF many years research as to
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring to men the strength
