New York, Jan. 20.-Slight losses re-
suited from the days transactions i'll
the stock market which was irregular
and depressed on the resumption of Gu
ban and currency agitation at Washing,
ton giving courage to certain large bear
interests. Recent professional manipula-
ton of stocks is credited to people in
terested in making market for bonds
acquired during THE reorgnizations.
Western trade advices continued good
and further reflected favorable traffic
returns which We're published to-day by
prominent railroad lines. The market
had hardly recovered from its hositancy
when liquidation and short sales were
apparent with resultant sharp declines.
Toward the close there was n somewhat
improved tone and increased activity.
London bought a little on balance.
Pullman. Mobile and Ohio and Ma
tional Lead reflected the declaration of
dividends on those properties. Oregon

affairs was regarded hy some of the
leading exchange interests as Off-setting
possible gold IMPORTS which in a meas-
IRE would be justified by the current
situation.
The bond market continued to reflect
n substantial outside interest which was
responsible for notable improvements in
some of the lower grade liens. The ag-
gregate transactions were 3,T9T 900.
The government bond market was
neglected with slight concessions in bid

New York, Jan. 20.-In the local
market today, at first hands, the
strength added to the market by the
developments of the last few days was
very apparent. In all lines of cotton
goods the sentiment is stronger than
heretofore. Although sellers do not find
it advisable to advance prices as yet.
they are still very stiff i'm their attitude
toward buyers. Advances in both extras
and odds in print cloths are reported,
anf TINS tends to give irmness to the
market. Print cloths show slight adj
vances. and Il very much stronger tone
in Eastern first hand markets. Extras
nave been sold to the extent of $4,000
at rs cents, ''plus l per cent" Further
bids at this figure were refused today
Bids for 1872 inch sixty-four squares at
> lac cents. We're also refused. 1t was
reported that there is steady demand
for both extras and odds. Eastern and
Southern goods are practically on the
same basis now. Prints are generally
firm. They are in somewhat irregular
demand.

COTTON.

New York, Jan. 20.-The course of to-
days cotton market was somewhat ire
gular, with the tendency in the main
possibly toward larger degree of conf
dence. although the net gain in senti-
ment was scarcely appreciate. The
later information from New England
was, if anything, reassuring. The mark
ct opened quiet and steady with prices
ut / point lower to l point higher. Fol
lowing the first call. which developed
the fact that there was some invest
ment interest, there was a further adj
vance of 4 to 5 points, assisted by es-
Inmates of comparatively small move
ment of cotton at the ports with the
English cables making a favorable aver
age. The market cables were backed
up by buying orders from Liverpool.
The Southern contingent also sent in
quite flood Of buying orders, directing
their attention. however, chiefly to the
summer months. The New Orleans
market reported good export demand
for cotton and advanced quotations to
1-16 cent. Other Southern markets,
however. failed to show a corresponding
Improvements. Later in the session as
the receipts began to broaden, and it was
believed more bad weather and bad
roads were holding back supplies, the
market eased off. With better weather
conditions today came an expanding
movement at ports, and toward the in
terror towns. Before 2 O'Clock p. M. tiie
market was finally steady at a net adj
vance of 2 to points.

The San Francisco call., 1898-05-01

TT IS related of Won Moltke that
 when awakened in the dead of night
 with the announcement that France l had declared war against Germany.
 he remarked: Look in my cabinet. file A, drawer 23; send off the telegrams you find" Then he turned over and went to sleep again.
 An army is like snake; it has great length of body and a small head. The head is the fighting part, and one of it's most important duties is to protect the body. which consists of wagon trains and lines of supplies; for if the body be injured the head becomes powerless.
 Tn time of war, or in preparing an army to take the field vast amount of supplies, forage and equipment must be constantly on hand or in easy reach. While the provisioning of a company, battalion or regiment of a thousand men is perhaps not a difficult task, the supplying of a meal for 100000 men is a far different matter; and it is abso- lutely essential that transportation from the base of supplies should at all times be uninterrupted and subject to no delays. For this reason the. Gov ernrnent would assume control of such railroads and vessels as might be nec- essary. and they would be run tempor- arily as an adjunct of the army, pri- vate business being permitted only so far as it did not conflict with military necessities.
 If war should be suddenly declared, and it became necessary to put an army In condition to take the field, the general in command, upon an order from the Secretary of War. would at once recruit the regular military estab- lishment up to Its full limit of effici- ency.
 These men, together with the volun- teers who have been requisitioned from the Governors of the various States. or had been raised by direct enlistment. would be assembled at some convenient point where they
