A Chapter of Excuses.

Five men on an Atlantic liner were
thirsty. They ambled up to the bar.
One wanted drink because he was
sick; another wanted drink because
he was sleepy; another wanted one be-
cause he couldn't sleep; another could
not eat unless he had an appetizer. Fl,
nally, an old soak der;auded a drink
because he liked it.

She is about 70 years old and makes a great show of reading the Bible-though 1t is we'll known she cannot read a line The other morning she was seated on her front porch with a large family Bible on her lap. Some one was pass ing and saluted her.

NEW YORK, Jan 6.-To-day's stock market was oroad' animated and strong throughout and gains were maintained with only tnsIenta, cant reactions at a few intervals The h1yinz was on very large scale and was apgragsi,.e and confident. number of operators were in the movement and the combined takfn1s made up large share of the total transactions of the day. But there was manifest an outs,da interest in the market which was awakened b1, yesterdays s strength and the commission bouse business on fairly large scale The invest ment demand for safe dividend payment stocks and the heavy buying of bonds were also evil dences of an infusion of new life into the mar ket. It is likely that these dealings were dua to the large amounts made available for in- vestment by the January dividend and tnteras, disbursements. Most of the dealings were pro- fessional, nevertheless, and they seemed to have been melted by the very confident expres- sions of one of the largest and most dashine operators In the market, who was in large part the leader of last summers rise
 Some of the most notable gains were achieved early in the day and quite firmly held throughout, even in the face of very large transactions. There was suggestion of realiz- ing in this but all offerings were well ab- sorbed. The closing only slightly below the best and showed net gains of betUeen i and points for nearly all active stocks Prices for American securities were good in London and in Europe to-day and gave an impetus to stocks being the first to advance Continued strength in Sugar also helped to sustain the
 
 The prevailing tightness of money showed the first decisive tendency toward easing rates to- day, and while most loans made at 3lk per cent the rate yielded to 3 per cent and closed at that. There was better demand re- ported also for commercial paper. though not sufficient to cause yielding of the rate which continued at 31z to per cent for choice grades. There was some outstanding short interest in the market, and the covering of this helped on the rise.

For two hours the range of the fluctuations practically limited be- tween the extremes mentioned. The main points of the early market information as follows: Liverpool quoted decline of 1lsd to start with, and the reason for it was in one cablegram ascribed to liberal offerings of Ar genuine wheat and in another to Thoman's re- port and export surplus of 100 900 900 still avail able in this country. A private cablegram from Paris said that the wheat was rapidly de- cining and the market weak and de- pressed The Price Current remarked Of the condition of winter wheat that 1t gener- ture of the early news was the small Chicago receipts, only fl cars being received The up- turn to the market was helped by liberal clear ances from Atlantic ports, which in wheat and and Baltimore reported fresh business done for export Closing cables made Liverpool latest prices from Id to 17sd lower than those of the previous day. Several local shorts of May was between SsZ and 9014c, and when the general crowd, who were short, tried to buy, they found the safable wheat had all been absorbed. May closed soZo bid, or hc higher than 1t did yesterday.
 Corn was moderately active. May closed Ha Ac higher.
 Oats were firm throughout the session May closed %91Ac higher.
