gallantry. After a hard encounter
they put the insurgents to flight. The

resistance.

to within short distance of Caloocan
but no attack was made by them until

termined to rest his men after the
severe ordeal through which they had
passed. tSome.of ARuinaldo's best sold !
iers were in the fighting line, includ- |
ing the famous native regiment, which !
in the last revolution deserted from
Manila after numbering their Spanish
officers.
Aguinaldo himself came in as far as
Marialo, miles north of Manila, and
his shattered army.
There was some skirmish firing at ,
Caloocau early in the morning, precipi-
tated by the natives. but no damage ,
was done On the American side. /,

The consequences of the wild opening on
the Stock Exchange were quickly evident

BULLS IN CONTROL OF COTTON.
Prices Advanced Twelve Points by
The EnOrmOus Demand

New York, Jan. 23.-Cotton bulls got
their horns under the market today again
and gave prices a toss OF ten TO twelve
points, making an advance of not far from
sl-50 j bale since late last week. Wall
Street houses are buying cotton; so are
houses Identified more particularly with
the Produce Exchange and the Chicago
Board of Trade; so are operators in New
England cities, to say nothing of the South
and of Europe
Liverpool shot up about twelve points in
American money and the spot sales con-
tinued there on large scale. The re-
ceipts at the ports We're but little over
half as large as year ago, and exhaustion
of supplies is reported in some parts Of
South Carolina. North Carolina, Alabama
and Texas.
Moreover spot markets were soaring at
the South and i'll New York, where the
actual stock is mere bagatelle in com
parison with the gigantic short interest,
and prices were marked up one-eighth of
a cent or G2 12 cents a bale.
The trading in cotton futures is steadily
broadening and today the market was at
times excited and suggestive OF old times

giants in the trade as John H. Inman. who

LIVELY DAY IN STOCKS
General Smashing of All Pre-
vious Records.
TOO SWIFT FOR BROKERS
Change in Values Came With
FiiIed-Some DecIines-Most of the
Securities on the Upward Bound-
Business of Black Friday Recalled

The New York Stock Exchange yester-
day witnessed a days business entirely re-
markabIe compared with anything ever be-
fore seen. For weeks the breaking OF
records has been going on, and every day
it has seemed certain that the limit has
almost been reached. Yesterday the to-
tai of business jumped up so per cent
above even the best recent phenomenal
days. The total number of shares bought
and sold yesterday was $50 Gl5. or nearly
half a million shares more than that Of
any previous days business.
During the first two hours Of the day
$4,000 shares were traded in, or at the
rate of more than 1000, 600 shares in
full day.
The $50. 600 shares traded in during the
the day represent par value of s152,-
600. .0eO, or very nearly a billion dollars
week. This wonderful record was made
despite the refusal of brokers to buy GER
tain stocks on margins, Notwithstanding
repeated warnings during the day that lots
of less than 100 shares Of stock might not
be executed satisfactorily, and despite the
fact, confessed by many brokers, that
great numbers Of orders were not filled.
The amount Of business done was no
mere sensational than the fluctuations in
prices. In minutes advances and de-
clines of full points occurred. In half an
hour Panhandle advanced twenty points
and then declined eighteen Canada South
ern advanced twelve points and immedi-
ately declined ten. Reading first pre-
ferred advanced eight points from Satur-
days close. Delaware and Hudson ad-
yanced six points from Saturdays close
General Electric advanced six points. Big
-Four advanced seven points. There was
hardly stock On the active list that
did not at some time during the day
show huctuation, either up or down, of
three points.

was in the number Of price records brok-

A special account of yesterdays bus-
ness on the New York Stock Exchange
is given in another column. The careful
opinion OF many OF the most conservative
market critics is that the market has en-
tered a most dangerous and precarious
stage, through which it may not be able
to pass without serious consequences. Up
TO this point it has been one of the most
noticeable features Of the situation that
remarkable sanity and cool headedness has
characterized speculation. even under the
great strain of hitherto unheard OF con-
diticns. Yesterday there were many pc
RODS in the day when spectators rioted
and brokers went wild. Fortunes actual
ly were made and disappeared in a few
ticks of the clock 1t may be that the
bull market will continue. Many believe
ii will. II is pointed out that there was
toward the eud Of the day yesterday a
much less feyersh condition in the ex-
change and much more uniform and
steady advance in prices. But any day
may see the break. Any further strain
may be too great, and drop of three
Of ten. However. warnings to speculaturs
are OF little avail, and probably those Civ
en- by the newspapers and brokers this
morning will have as little effect as at
other times.
The man trading on small margins, at
least, should be made fully aware of the
conditions. Stop orders are a thing of
the past. When the break comes il may
mean ten points loss without any possi-
bility Of stopping IL.

The sky rocket movement of Panhandle
was the feature of the opening. In Sun
days New York papers the pool which has
been operating in this stock made the pos
tive assertion that great advance would
be made by 1t this week. The statement
was made that there IS to be an important
development most beneficial TO the stock
holders of the road 1t is surmised that
the pool believes IL will be able to compel
the Pennsylvania road TO pay dividends
Whatever the meaning of this announce
ment, il had magical effect on the stock.
The first quotation was at 10, or seven
points above Saturdays close. Within ten
minutes IS had been reached, total ad-
vance Of twenty points over night Then
a break equally sensational occurred to 10.
Throughout the remainder of the day the
price tended upward, though there was
much selling of it and some further rather
wild fluctuations The close was at 73 l-2.
Some Offices refused to execute orders in
Panhandle except for cash, asserting that
the brokers were discriminating against
it. The pool continues TO promise higher
