PRICES CLIMB HIGHER.
The Most Remarkable stock Market
Yet Furnished by the bulls.

New York. jan. 12-In some respects
the days stock market was the most re
markable of any in the current ball move
ment. The TRANSACTIONS were in immense
volume, with the standard issues in the
lead in all respects. In many of these
stocks the highest price of many years
was recorded. A number OF the stocks OF
the reorganized roads, such as Southern
Railway preferred. Union Pacific common,
and Northern Pacific common, made new
high records.
For the most part there was nothing
new whatever 10 account for the strength
and activity displayed by the stocks
named, or by the granger shares, which
led in The mornings rise. Neither was
there any occurrence or change in the OUT
side situation, which would explain the
active speculative interest everywhere ap-
parent in the stock market. though to most
persons the plain facts OF that situation as
they have been repeatedly set forth furnish
sufficient reasons for what is going on in
Wall Street.
Technically considered the days market
was the result of heavy dealings by com
mission houses on both sides of the &C
count, together with the evident shifting
of active manipulatve operations from the
industrial group into the railway list. AS
tending to bring about an equalization or
adjustment of current price Levels, the last
feature OF the market may be regarded
with satisfaction.
There were sharp advances scored in all
the anthracite coal group, with Jersey
Central the feature. on the belief that that
company will benefit by the development. s
which it is believed are impending in the
trade 4 somewhat sensational further
advance in Pennsylvania carried that
stock TO a point where, considered as an
investment, it would yield purchasers but
3 "a per cent
New York Central, which at its present
rate of dividend makes even smaller re-
turns to purchasers at its current level,
was quiet but steady. The industrial
shares were by no means neglected in the
market. but they did not participate in the
strength that was common elsewhere in
the market. Still those stocks held their
own fairly well, notwithstanding the
equally evident liquidation and absence OF
support.
The foreign arbitrage houses continued
large sellers of stocks in this market, and
while it is understood that the incoming
steamships will bring large amounts Of
American securities, it is also thought that
heavy foreign short account exists In the
market. The quotation tables show many
striking changes which in the absence of
fresh related developments do not require
recital The advances made on the day
did not result from a continuous rise in
prices. In fact. there were many general
and more or less pronounced reactions
with the course of the day and the market
showed a firm undertone throughout the
business session.

SANS NO LONGER A CANDIDATE
He Promises to support Keenan, for
the l.. A. VI. Presidency.

Baltimore, Jan. 12.-At a conference here
today between T. ]. keenan,, of Pittsburg;
Albert Mott. and Conway w. Sans, it was
decided that Mr. Sans should withdraw as
a candidate for the presidency of the
League CT American Wheelmen and give
his support TO Mr.. Keenan, for that Office.
The situation was decided in novel
manner. At the meeting both Keenan, and
Sans said it was not their desire to have
an unseemly contest for the Office, and it
was then decided that the candidate who
gould show the strongest backing should
have clear field. The candidates COM
pared notes and found their support was
about even, with enc State in doubt.
A telegram was sent TO the doubtful dis
trict and the answer was favorable to Kee-
nan, whereupon Mr.. Sans promptly with
drew from the race. He will assist Mr.
Keenan,, and if the latter is elected presi-
dent Of the league Mr.. Mott will in all
probability retain the Craftsmanship of the
racing beard.
