oATUfDAf, JAN. 10.
With the exception of o sharp yet brief rally
toward tho close of the first hour of
business, tho stock market was weak to-
day from start to finish. The selling. which
appeared to DO about equal for both
accounts, was not adequately explained
by the current lows calculated to affect values.
Tho bears made much of the possibility
of a decision adverse TO tho railroads by
the United States Supreme Court in
the Nebraska maximum.rato case. AS q
matter of fact neither the Street nor
the speculative contingent at Washington has
any trustworthy information as to the nature
OF that decision. The preponderance Of circum-
stantial evidence Is that the decision will
be in favor of the railroads. Tho Cuban
situation was q fruitful topic Of dis.
cussion and. Judging from the course OF
the market, tho majority Of the specula-
tive community is Of the opinion that
tho rioting at Havana is likely to
result in unfriendly relations between the
United States and Spain. In some quarters
an opposite Wow was advanced. 1t being argued
that II United States warships are compelled to
go TO Havana their mission there would he to
protect American citizens and their property
from rioters. and that in doing 90 they would
obviously act in conjunction with the Spanish
authorities.
The most plausible explanation OF to-dayB
market Is that the several interests that have
been active In advancing prices have
seen At to market at least q part of
their holdings. and are now bent upon
recovering them at lower prices. Their
reasons for desiring to do 30 can be found in
the weekly trade reports. in railway traffic
returns. in tho condition Of the money mar
ket. and in the tendency Of the rates for
foreign exchange. Domestic trade, according
to the reports compiled by the mercantile
agencies. is steadily improving. Statistics and
prices indicate that the iron industry 10 grad.
ually reaching a more profitable condition than
1t has enjoyed for some time past. The woollen
and the shoe trades are still In excel.
lent shape. Bank clearances for the week
tell of large transactions. the clearances at this
city being 90 y cent. larger than In 1892. Rail-
way earnings are In evidence upon the same
point. for. according to a Trustworthy
compilation, the gross earnings Of 100. 900
miles Of railroad for the year end
ing Dec. 81 were S5s. 9O4. 900 greaterthan for
the corresponding period of the previous year.
The comparison is the more remarkable when
1t is known that for the first six
months of the last calendar year these roads
showed. as compared with the correspond
ing period OF the previous year a decrease of
81. 1880 900. 1t is estimated hat for the year
ending Dec. 81 last the increase In the gross

There were no new developments In the cotton
market today. The trading was dull and feature
less and OF u local professional character. Prices
nuctuated within an eKtremely narrow range and
the last quotations showed a trihing net loss for the
day, Disappointing LIVERPOOL advicss induced some
sorbed and prices ruled steady. The movement this
week 10 expected to be somewhat smaller than last
weeks movement. especially at the Interior towns.
The receipts at the ports for the week are estimated
at from 2o0.0OO TO 265. 900 bales, against 286. $50
last week. while the semtweekly statement on Tues
day Is expected TO show receipts OF about 20. 900
bales, against s2, 900 last week and 69. 1000 In 1898.
Until the movement compares more fayorably with
1898, however, q narrow market Is probable.

Important Market DEVELOPMENTS.

How shall those who rely upon those fore
casts 80 adjust themselves that their ind ividual
interests will be in harmony with the conditions
now existing as set forth above. so that they
will be protected. as 1t were. by financial gray
itationi The two most important m~oney-mak.
ing forces which will work in our favor during
the next few years will be the newly awakened
growth OF the United States as a country and tho
renewed growth of New York city. In evory in
dustrial epoch In this growing country the most
reliable influence is business DEVELOPMENT. The
Vanderbilt system and the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN, beginning at New York and ending every
where. have the most comprehensive grasp upon
this business outcome. For this reason We have
been urgently advising. and do still advise. the
purchase of their shares. The Western division
OF the Pennsylvania system Is not 80 we'll
known, because In present shape It 10
comparatively new, and has been con-
cealed by business depression. At anything
like present prices 1t presents the cheap
est and safest medium through which the av.
eraGe investor can catch hold OF q period OF
business prosperity. 1t holds comprehensive
grasp Of tho intercity interests of PittsbuTg.
Cincinnati. Chicago. st. Louis. indianapolis,
Louisville. Tho writer believes 1t will record
an advance of more than twenty dollars a share
during 1898. In order TO benefit from the larger
growth of New York city we must include the
traction properties. Months ago we stated In
this column:
Manhattan presents a remarkable oppor-
tunity for investors to place their reliance upon
the growth OF New York city. Let that corpora.
tion adopt electricity, and Danish cinders and
smoke, and its open cars will become tho Coney
Island OF the New York summer"
Tammany is wise in its time. 1t exhibits great
shrewdness in utilizing the sentiment OF the
public in reference to personal transit. Most
men who are wearied with the labors OF the day
will ignore political policies and favor that ad.
ministratlon which gives them a comfortable
seat in q quick car. Tammany is daily strength.
ening Its grip upon tho citizens Of this city. and
will take its reward from the markets. One OF
the conspicuous market developments of tho
present year Will probably DO In connection with
Metropolitan Traction.
