REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Strength of Stocks Increase
Throughout the Week.

New York. Jan 20-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow viii say:
In the early part of the week there
was a marked decrease in the activity
of speculation. Transactions at the
stock exchange fell off to 100000 or S0O,-
GOO shares q day and evidence Of heavy
realizing sales were seen in some parts
Of the share list. In the face OF this
the standard stocks continued their
advance and new high price records
We're made in the grangers and other
dividend payers. As was the case in
the preceding week, this movement
was partly aScTiBed to leading inter
ests in the market, but, whatever its
origin. it certainly had the effect of
checking any wholesale liquidation and
OF attracting fresh outside purchasers
OF stocks. London was q seller and
contributed to the hating tone Of the
general market. At the same time the
speculation as a whole retained the
characteristic marks of bullish excite
ment, ana as the week Wore on. re-
newed strength of a decided quality
displayed itself in various parts Of the
district. The iron stocks We're higher
and more active on the favorable ac-
counts given of the condition OF the
steel and iron industries. while the
street at large vas duly impressed by
the pheuOmenallE favorable character
of the foreign trade statement for the
month Of December and the calendar
year, 1888, issued by the treasury de-
partment. The continuance of the ad-
vance in the granger stocks aided in
keeping up the builish tendencies OF
the average Spectator and in adding
new recruits TO the portion OF the public
which is taking part in the market.
Another powerful influence of a favor
able kind was the easing Of the foreign
markets. both London and the CONT

I New York, Jan. pa dispatch to

Further particulars are given regard

tobacco product and manufacture by
an American syndicate. The present
owners ignored the propositions until
assured that New York City and other
banks had taken it out Of the hands

is yet a long way from contamination.
Initial steps have been taken looking

The humane societies of the State
which are beneficent and unsehfish Or
ganizations, have for several years
sought to have the existing law con-
cerning their office in enforcing the law
against the practice of cruelty upon
dumb animals amended in a few re-
spects found by twenty-five years of
experience to be necessary. On three
occasions the requisite amendments
have been adopted by one or both
houses Of the Legislature. But as such
measures call no selfish interest to
their support. they suffer defeat by
being delayed upon the calendars un-
til there is such a glut Of bills that
they cannot be made laws. either by
full passage or when passed by reach
ing the Governor in time to give him
must do to conscientiously approve
them. At this session the societies have
again presented their bill. 1t ought to
pass. There is but one new section
which is at all likely to arouse antago-
nism, namely. that concerning the dock
ing Of horses. All else in the bill ap-
pears to be Of character to call out no
opposition, and as to the docking sec
tion that can be safely trusted to the
vote of the majority of the members,
and either adopted or amended, without
necessitating the defeat of other provi-
sions of the bill. But it should be pass

The estates Of most rich men are ex-

Very few Instances are recorded of
popular estimation Of the wealth of a
rich man turning out to be correct. The
latest instance is that of the worldly
goods value of Calvin S. Brice. He
ranked as millionaire several times
over, but official valuation of his es-
tate discloses the fact that 1t will fall
somewhat below 5000, 900, and there is
no real property listed as having been
owned by Mr.. Brice. It has been sug-
gested that in recent years unwise in

SHOULD BE DEFEATED.

Assembly bill No. 80 proposes to add
to the list of chattels the stealing of
which shall be deemed grand larceny,
the utility now so common In use, the
bicycle. But why the wheel and not
the wagon, or buggy, or gig, or wheel
barrow, or child's carriage, or the push
cart? Time was when the hog, sheep
and goat were included In the things
the unlawful taking of which should
be considered grand larceny But these
have been stricken out, and now the
only chattles mentioned, the unlawful
taking of which shall constitute the
crime of grand larceny regardless of
their money value are the horse, mare,
gelding, cow, steer, bull. calf, mule,
Jack or jenny.
The reason for including these ami
mails is not very clear. if we except the
horse, mare, gelding, jack, jenny and
mule, since horse stealing has always
by common judgment been deemed a
heinous offense. Those animals are list
ed as they are because OF that senti-
ment, rather than because of any logi-
cal reason. The inclusion OF the bicycle
will have no reason behind it that
would not just as readily fortify the
claim to have any other wheeled We
hicle included in the list.
If a bicycle is worth no more than
$50, it should be as it now is, petty
larceny to steal it. When its value ex-
ceeds $50, then its unlawful taking be-
comes grand larceny and is punished
as a, felony. There Is no sentimental
reason for asking that the bicycle
should be taken out Of the category
that requires proof of value, any more
than there is sentimental reason for in

The feeling is strong among leading
Republicans that the only hope of Sc
curing the Senatorship for the Southern
part of the State is in the election Of
Robert N. Bulla. The Endorsement
given his candidacy in the above tele-
gram from Los Angeles is strong, both
i'm the terms of the message and in the
character of the men who signed 1t.
Nowhere outside of his own camp is
the opinion expressed that Grant can
be elected. The only hope of securing
a Senator from Southern California
seems to be In the election of Bulla.
If he is not elected, the Senatorship will
almost certainly go north.
