The apparently steady rise in the tide

this week by an Outburst of speculative
interest in number of staples notab y

registered steady gains on actual consump
tive demand rather than on the deve OPP
ment of marked bullish speculation. Large
transactions and buoyant prices have been

far as can be seen chiefly the urgency of
consumers requirements. the claim in fact
being made that speculation has not as

OF industry. The same claim, however,
can hardly be made as regards number

of how he came to the conclusion that
cigarettes were "drugged and poisoned
nowadays and not fit TO smoke"
The remedy is OdOrless and tasteiess,
can be mixed with coffee or food and when
taken into the system man cannot Use
tobacco in any form. The remedy con-
tains nothing that could possibly do in

poisons of tobacco and takes nicotine out

MARKET LESS EXCITED.
Material Contraction I'm Dealings
Brinar Tired Rrokerr relief.

Brings Tired Brokers Relief.
New York, Jan. 27.-As compared with
yesterdays enormous total dealings, there
was a material contraction in activity in
today's stock market. At the same time
the days market could not be regarded as
very active. The comparative falling away
in activity came as a positive relief 10 the
Wall Street community and particularly
TO the clerical forces Of brokerage houses,
who have been for fortnight and more
subjected TO an almost intolerable strain
Today's general trading, as has been the
case throughout the January rise, was
based wholly upon the strong and simple
underlying trade and financial conditions
long engaging attention. The state OF the
money market furnished no grounds for
concern, and there were number OF eN-
celleDt traffic returns for the month OF
December and for other periods reported.
Speculative confidence refused to ne
shaken by the strained situation in the
Philippines which condition of things has
indeed been ignored in current discussion
TO a singular degree.
At the outset of the dealings the state
ment made by Mr.. Vanderbilt in regard 10
the rumored New York Central-North-
western-U Union Pacific arrangement was
factor in the trading. His denial of the
more specific assertions that some arrange
Ieul WIS DtlhS ptElttlcA uLiatSti'i4tAA-s
upset many speculative calculations and
New York Central stock declined rapidly
in the London and local markets. An
other stock the dealings in which reflected
the unsettliRg effects of uncertainty in the
presence of positive statements as to the
pending developments was Manhattan
Railway.
The market opened quiet and irregular
partly in sympathy with and rejecting the
tone Of the London market and the dispo-
sition OF the dealings here for foreign ac-
count. The arbitrage houses sold about
q. 900 shares of stocks in this market.
After the initial dealings a generally firm
tone developed and the market showed a
number OF sharp advances, particularly in
Peoples Gas. Pacific Mail, Tennessee Coal
and Iron. Long Island. Lake Erie and
Western, and others OF the specialties. The
granger shares and the Southern stocks
were also firm. Most OF the gains made
IN these cases were shaded or wholly lost
in the now familiar reaction of the last
hour Ostensibly the reaction in the mar
ket was based upon the announcement that
an independent government had been pro-
claimed by the Filipinos. but this after
moons news was certainly no more dis
Quieting than that in the same regard that
was received yesterday about the same
time, and this feature of the outside situa-
tion has been ignored throughout the week.
The market closed steady at the declines
and with no evidence of extensive outside
liquidation.
The loan market for stocks furnished in
dications of an increased short interest.

new high record.
Few York, Jan. 27-Dun's weekly re-
view OF trade Will say tomorrow
The country is in a stronger position
than week ago. Remarkable strength in
Its industries is important, but is not the
chief element. Public confidence in the
business of the country and in its securi-
ties has been tested TO an unusual extent
by the sudden fall in stocks and the sub
sequent rise. Confidence in the value OF
wheat, corn. and cotton has been shown by
the markets, and at rising prices the world
buys because it has to buy The vast
supply of unemployed capital has been
shown and the new and startling indie
pendence OF foreign money markets fixes
attention. The lumber movement is I'M
usually large for the season, with prices
OF low grades sharply advancing. Rail
road earnings and tonnage have shown
surprising gains. Treasury receipts are
gaining and vote on the Peace Treat
has been liked for February 6.
The weak points in the situation may
first be considered. Wool grows weaker
because forced by speculation year ago
10 prices which the market for goods could
not sustain, and has been much embar-
raised in trying to sustain ever since.
Western bankers begin TO advise specula-
tive holders to sell The sales of wool are
still small manufacturers buying at Phila-
delphia, where prices are yielding, rather
than at Boston, where great efforts are
made to sustain them. but the goods move
ment for heavyweights is still dsappoint-
ing and comparatively slow.
Cotton is higher Lie and goods have
been strong. Belief that damaged cotton
will cut down the yield helps 10 increase
demand for goods and to raise prices for
both. The receipts are light, though
/ growers have seen rise of over / cent
! per pound from the lowest point to tempt
! them. Goods have risen on many grades.
! about per cent on reported qualities.
| against . per cent on raw cotton and the
/ consuming demand is strong.
! Boots and shoes do not quotably change

Tennessee Coal and Iron continued to ai-
vance yesterday in manner quite out of
the ordinary. II soon passed its previous
high record in price. Despite the seeming
probability of the story that the company
is to sell out its railroads to the Louisville
and Nashville and its plant to the Fed raj
Steel trust. conservative people see no rea-
son why the price of the stock should be
as high as it is. There is a shrewd sus-
picion that manipulation of very superior
kind is at work. If this be true the decline
of the stock is likely to be quite as rapid
as its advance
