showing the great activity OF this class OF stocks,
the sales oi American Sugar, Tobacco and Peo-

while the transactions in the three most active
railroads (St, Paul, Burlington Il Quincy and
Union Pacific preferred) amounted only To H.

that few Of the leading rndustrals must have

TRADE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE

New York, Jan. 14.-Henry Cfews, in his
weekly review of trade issued today, says:
The general conditions in Wall Street have not
materially changed during the past week. In the
stock market high pitch of activity Is man
tanned, with a higher average range OF prices
in the better class of stocks Among the room
traders, however, there Is element OF per-
sistent sellers but their influence is offset by the
outside buying element There are undoubtedly
exposed spots in the of stocks which have
been run up to extreme figures by influential
cliqueS; and these the main points OF attack
from the professional bears, while they IN
duce some circumspection among the more eau
tious bulls" But the general conditions con-
trolling the value of securities remain favorable,
and room sellers have to face preponderance OF
builish influences. There has been some consid-
cradle selling on foreign account during the week,
but the stocks have been taken without any vlsl-
BILE effect on the local market; and, in estimating
the importance of these foreign realizings, 1t is
TO be taken into account that Americans have
been the strongest stocks on the European
bourses. London follows closely the prospects of
the fate of the Paris Treaty. The indications are
that the deep interest taken by England in our
acquisition OF the Philippines might develop into
active buying of securities for investment
in that country, in the event Of the ratification
Of the Treaty, which now seems to be toregone
conclusion. These foreign movements however,
come and 20 without any longer making much

A Pretty Pass.

1t became necessary to send our
engineer, Cary Mullins, to Cincinnati
Saturday to have some machinery re-
pared. Among other things the steam
gauge of the engine was to be over
hauled, and he took it to some eight
or ten places in that city, and was
told at each that they ''dfdn't do that
kind of work." Mullins finally ran
across an acquaintance who told him
he was on cold trail, as the gauge
bore the mark Of maker at Waynes-
boro, Vermont, and Cincinnati people
would not repair it on that account.
AS the express to Vermont and back
would amount to almost as much as a
new gauge would cost, we ordered a
new one out and out, but you can bet
your sweet life it was not ordered
from Cincinnati. Mullins says he
was told It was because they all be-
l0nged to union.

Saturday night. The little fellow had
been sick for many weeks, and his
sufferings been great, but it was be-

could be saved. All that loving hands
and skilled physicians could do was
done, but to no avail. He was in his
second year, and an unusually bright
child. The remains were inferred in

= The other night a young blood, who
had surrounded too much blind tiger
booze, was giving Comanchee yells on
on the Public Square just as people
were going to church. OF course the
fellow was having things all his own
way, but Jailer Dave Ross heard the
racket and went to him and told him
unless the yelling was stopped he
would be arrested. Dave was given
the "hOrse laugh" but walking up to
the young rooster, he said, "NOw see
here, my little man, am no marshal,
