prices for industrial stocks shortly after break
ing sharply, with June l and August .. The
greatest advance in any class Of products was
in steel plates, of which the production and
prices are not at all controlled by any corpora
tion 33.1 per cent more than pig iron, and next
is the advance in cut nails. 13 per cent more, Of
which only part of the production Is con
trolled These products. and no others of iron
Gnd steel advanced over One-half of l per cent
more than the average of quotations for pig
iron, of which fourteen great companies not al
lied are producing only about three-quarters.
The prices of common bar iron at Pittsburg ad-
vanced One-half of per cent more, with only
part Of the production In that region controlled
by q corporation. Wire nails, of which nearly
all the production is SO controlled, have ad
vanCed less than pig iron; tlnplates, almost
wholly produced by one company, have ad-
vanced less than pig iron or than tin; beams
and angles. OF which combination controls
most of the production. have advanced consider
ably less than pig iron, and have sheets,
largely under control while neither of these has
risen so much as Eastern refined bar, which no
corporation controls.
Part OF the copper production Is controlled
but the price has risen much less than Tin. which
has no such control, while lead, of which the
price is largely but not wholly Influenced by a
corporation, has risen much less than either. and
about as much as raw silk, of which the price Is
| fixed by Asiatic trade No combination controls
prices Of hides, but they have risen nearly 4 per
| cent more than leather, which is largely under
control OF the leather company, while boots and

| half as much. No combination controls the
| risen more than leather or woollen goods as has
| india rubber, which no combination controls.
| Powerful corporations now control prices OF
mnny woollen goods but they have risen less
! than wool. which no combination controls in the
least; less than cotton goods also rot controlled.
and scarcely more than boots and shoes, the
product having smaller advance than appears
! In any other class.

The Brooklyn Eagle" is disposed 10 reproach
The Tribune for not taking seriously enough
the conferences at Saratoga which have for
their purpose the crystallization OF sentiment
within the Democratic party about some other
Presidential candidate than Colonel Bryan.
These conferences we dismissed last week as
savorlng of farcicalty, inasmuch as they seemed
TO disclose no serious opposition to Mr. Bryan's
nomination outside the two States OF New-York
and Maryland How can the Saratoga conferrees
themselves avoid laughing In their sleeves occa-
sionally. like Roman augurs, when they know
that Maryland excepted, not a single Southern
or Western State ~ represented on the Grand
Union piazzas by politician who has more than
half a chance to hold seat in the next Demo-
cratic National Convention? Mr.. Bryan will
certainly lose no sleep over the opposition Of
such Democratic leaders posing con-
ferrees at Saratoga from points South and
West"

Horn the Tailor Surprised.

Hitherto Mr. Horn has had monopoly
on surprises, because it is his custom to
spring surprising things upon the public at
unexpected times and usually at unexpected
prices, and this the public knows, since it
has declared itself in on all of these sur
prises in a way that brought much profit
and success TO a famous tailoring shop
Having been surprised by Mr.. Horn so
many times. the public will be interested to
know that Mr. Horn himself was surprised
last Sunday night by the appearance at his
home, 1925 First Street northwest, of about
forty of his employees, who presented him
with handsome silver service, including a
decanter from which TO drink on the bright
prospects of the tailoring business and the
new year oE
Mr.. Horn is gentleman who can yield
| to a surprise OF this kind with excellent
grace and his response to the presenters
was only equaled by the warmth OF his
hospitality. The decanter was made use OF
| at once, and its contents supplemented a
little spread of delieaeies appropriate to
the occasion and time of year.

ing today. All who will write him letter
asking for a copy of the prescription will
receive it by return mail free Of any charge
whatever.
Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such SUI
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. he
suffered for many years. He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result of in
sidious disease until ne was reduced to
condition of senility, and the best doctors
in the country gave him UP to die
He asserts that his ten years suffering.
both mentally and physically was turned
to unbounded joy in single night through
a rare combination of medicines that inter-
ally made him young again. 1t is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthusi-
asm leads him to offer free to any man,
young or old who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may, present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and yigor.
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for, this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford to send this prescription free, but it
costs him little to do SO, and he feels a
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity TO cure themselves.

The stock market yesterday on the
whole should be regarded with great satis-
faction by the bulls. There was not at
the opening a great boom in prices but
il is doubtful if this would have been Tor
the best interests of the upward move
ment. Prices went OFF during the first
hour from half point to a full point.
Later there began an upward movement
which lasted during the remainder of the
day with few recessions until the opening
prices We're reached and in some cases
passed. The professional theory of the
DAYS market is that there was selling by
the leaders at the opening to prevent an
immediate big bulge which would have
tempted large profit taking. AT the lower
level prices were very strong again and
the public was again re-enforced in its be-
lief that there is TO be continuance q

AN IRREGULAR MARKET.
American Stocks in London Depress-
ed by Philippine News.

New York, Jan. 3.-Speculative senti-
ment was naturally keyed up to high
pitch at the opening of business this morn
ing There had been very little in the
news of the three days intervening since
the last business session to moderate the
enthusiastic feeling which prevailed at the
close on Friday, and IL was doubtless the
common expectation that at the opening of
business today new records in respect OF
strength and activity would be made.
These expectations were not realized. In
respect of activity the dealings were hardly
up TO recent averages, and the tone OF the
market was rather irregular. LONDON at
titude was disappointing the early cabled
advices showing that the gains made in the
American division of the market there on
SATURDAY. had been lost in today's dealings
and that some important stocks were
quoted at substantial declines from the 10
cal closing level of Friday.
The weakness in the London stock mar
ket had a thIeefold significance. In the
/ first place there were rurlors there OF
| further strain in the Anglo-French dipio-
matte relations and the American market
suffered by reason of the recalcitrant atti-
tude OF the Filipino leaders. third cir

stocks unfavorably was a report in circu-
lation in London that the expectations Of
an early dividend in Louisville and Nash
VILE were moi likely TO be relaxed.
In the early dealings the general market
also reflected profit realizing sales, which
we're of immense volume. The general
market news OF the day was meager.
1 Money on call still worked little close,
| but with the end of the comparative strin-
gency in sight scant attention was paid TO
the rates exacted. London houses were
fairly large sellers of stocks In this market,
and with the cessation Of the foreign op-
erations a firmer tone developed.
In the early general reaction there were
declines which extended to one point from
the high figures made in the opening deal
ings. but for the most part the last hour
witnessed the best prices of the day. Brook
iIyn Rapid Transit, the Federal Steel shares
Western Union and the granger shares
were conspicuous In respect of strength
and were the leaders of the market in re-
gard to activity. The anthracite coal stocks
all enjoyed substantial advances also, as
did many of the specialties. Sugar Rein
ing was weak on further cuts in selling
prices, and in the railway list Louisville
and Nashville reflected in comparative
heaviness the dividend rumor above noted

Chicago. Jan.aS.-There was the expected
