The stock Market.

New York Feb. MANY specialties
made sharp advances to-day while the
changes in the railways were rather
mixed. Interest centered largely In
low priced stocks, as Is shown by the
dealings of $4,000 shares in Texas Pa
cific and 10000 shares in Denver and
Rio Grande, which made extreme ad-
vances of 2 points each. Atchison pre-
ferred, which of late has been a bear
| target, made an advance of about 2
points on transactions of 100, 900 shares.
Among the other strong stocks were
c., c., c. and st. Louis, Des Moines and
Fort Dodge, Manhattan, Mobile and
Ohio, Lake Erie and Western and Twin
City Rapid Transit, which made aver
age advances of 2 points aside from the
last mentioned, which rose and los.
half of 1t. New York, New Haven ana
Hartford advanced points, and New
York Air Break, after an initial break
of points, rose 9. London was a SELL
er on balance of about So, 900 shares, but
was purchaser In the late dealings. The
market locally opened lower under bear
pressure and commission house realiza
lions. The reaction reached a point IN
only a few shares, which embraced
some of the specialties, Louisville New
Jersey Central and Pittsburg, c., C. and
st. Louis. The decline in standard
stocks was checked after fractional re-
cessons on the appearance of buying
orders, which caused a renewed adj
vance, and standard stocks rallied
above yesterdays close. Sugar was at
tackled, thus checking the rise else
where. Finally, after feverish fluctua-
tions Sugar ended with a small gain.
The reported gold developments in Col
orado lent strength to Denver and Rio
Grande and it's semi-annual statement.
was also a supporting factor. Manhat-
tans advance was probably on advance
information of the provisions for loan
for electrical equipment. The bears as
usual sought to bring about reaction
in the last half hour, but the offerings
were well taken and as soon as pressure
was removed the market closed firm.
The St. Paul weekly statement of gross
earnings, which often, according as
they are more or less favorable, have a
distinct effect upon the market did not
appear day and it was said that they
would be given out Saturday night.
The bond market maintained a very
strong tone throughout with exception
al strength in Texas and Pacific 2ds,
New Haven debentures and Wisconsin
Central lists. The latter rose ~, to 6SA
but receded to 651A. The total sales
were $6,325O00.

A PREVIOUS GROUND HOG.
Sticks His Nose Out of His Hole Ahead
of Time.

These are indeed "hustling" times and
there is no telling just where the ''hus-
tie is going to strike. 1t had been sup
posed by the conservative element of
the community that keeps it's eye on the
signs of the times" that it would be
allowed to sleep quietly with just one
eyelid raised until Candlemas day TO-
morrow before attempting to analyze
for the year the representations of the
ground hog. But the ground hog has
started up his trolley and is reported as
getting out of his hole and looking
about for his shadow for the past three
days. The particular ground hog in
evidence is a fast one out In Bilead,
and he Is reported as being fat and
sleek and in the best of condition, only
anxious for little fresh air. AS for
the weather prediction that goes with
the ground hogs appearance, it is good
for nothing except on Candlemas day.
No ground hog Is going to ring any
thing so fresh as an ante-Candlemas
prophecy on the oldest inhabitant. -

Sacred Heart Ladies' Guild Great
Success Financially.
The Ladies' guild of the Sacred Heart
church gave a concert in the hall of the
parish school last evening, which I'M
doubtedly proved to be a success In the
financial line. 1t was given entirely for
the purpose of carrying on the work of
assisting the poor and the proceeds of
last evenings affair will undoubtedly
assist a number Of other needy ones.
The entertainment last evening was
also unusually meritorious and the sing
ing of Miss Elizabeth Gaffney was hear
tily applauded, and she had to respond
to encores several times. The other por-
ton of the programme consisted Of
solos by Messrs. Phillips and Hamer-
nick, and several numbers by the Mo-
Fart Mandolin club, which were greatly
enjoyed. On the conclusion of the en-
tertainment dancing was INDUCED in
to late hour.

prominence To-day.
To-day will be Candlemas day. Ac-
cordng to the old tradition, the ground
hog (or in some localities, the bear) on
that day awakening from his hibernat-
ing slumber stretches himself and
comes out OF his hole to look for his
shadow. If he finds it, that is to say, if
the sun be shining out of clear sky
SO that the animal casts a shadow, he
hurries back to his hole to sleep again,
knowing that 1t is but a temporary
meteorological change which must
speedily be followed by a renewal OF
winter severity, but If the day be over
cast, the sun obscured, the day cold
and cherries and the ground hog casts
no shadow, there he exults and sports
himself and counts his slumbers at an
end as he also regards winter at an
