There has been little change in market
conditions during January. Each few days
of cold weather brought in orders to hasten
shipments, and when these passed, the de-
mand relaxed. So far as consumption was
concerned, it has been weather market,
similar in all respects to past months, and
showing that the dealers have not sufficient
confidence in the stability of prices to carry
in stock more than enough to fill their cur
rent demand. Prices have been fairly
steady. though low. In the East, prices
softened a little toward the close of the
msnth, but in the West aud at some northern
points, there has been temporary scarcity
of certain sizes, owing to the Unexpectedly
heavy demand during the cold spell in De,
cember, and prices have been firmer, and in
some cases advanced. While it is generally
expected that an effort will be made to ma.
terially strengthen prices during the coming
months, there is no certainty that this will
be done. 1t involves the consummation Of
plans which have long been talked of
Whether any tangible results will be evolved
this time remains to be seen.

the front door with some difficulty, and soft.
ly toiled up the stairs, entering the bed
chamber with elaborate caution.
Thank goodness, she was asleep!
He dropped into a chair, and, without
taking of his coat or hat, began to remove
his shoes. One he placed with great care
upon the floor, but, alas! as he took of the
other it slipped out OF his hand and fell
with o loud noise.
"Wifey" awoke on the instant.
She looked at him and then at the sum.
mer sunlight that streamed through the
blinds.
"why, George, what are you getting up
90 early for!"

"Why, my dear" replied George, with
the clearest enunciation Of which he was
capable, II found ! couldn't sleep, so !
