THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The evening Of contracts incident to the holi-
day make UP the chief part of securities trading
IN yesterdays market. AS q rule. prices moved
within narrow limits. with changes generally in
favor Of higher quotations. especially in some
of the industrials, in which good demand from
the shorts developed. Another advance in sugar
prices induced fair buying Of Sugar Refining
certificates the theory that the harmony of
action among all the sugar trade interests in
the matter Of prices reflected understanding
that might lead a satisfactory settlement Of
the sugar trade war The advance In sugar
prices by all the refners may not foreshadow
new control or consolidation among the sugar
companies, but IT certainly indicates that every
one concerned is weary of selling sugar at a
loss And when opposing interests reach this
stage It is natural assume that the next step
will be a compromise lines that Will permit
the conduct of the business basis that will
result in profits The gas people found that
gas wars expensive, and the sugar people
are apparently learning the same lesson.
The settlement OF the gas has helped
sentiment, but not prices Under present condi-
tions end OF the sugar war would doubtless
have only a passing influence upon quotations.,
but IL would seem TO add strength TO the specu-
lative situation The end Of trade wars is a
good thing for the market, although Its influence
may be shown at once. Just at present the
favorable factors IN the situation are without
much effect upon prices, so far as advancing
values concerned: but il actual conditions
were not favorable TO intrinsic values, market
prices would begin to sink to a much lover
plane under the pressure OF investment hquida-
ton. II is well to weigh carefully the uncertain
ties in the situation and there is little profit in
predicting an immediate sustained advance in
values, but the other hand there is no rea-
son to believe that the underlying support in the
market namely, the large Investment holdings,
Will be Withdrawn because of healthful trade
reaction and political possibilities.
London bought stocks in the local market yes

about this years political conflict in the United

Cotton Exchange held yesterday. when
ports OF the various officers and committees were
read and approved President Robinson's report
reviewed the work of the year and referred to the
improved trade conditions. He expressed regret
that none of the burdensome conditions of the
tax revenue act which call for relief have
been removed modified" The high rate OF city
taxation says the report, is seriously felt by the
Exchange, the amount of taxes paid being
$1,000 more than in the previous year Praise is

showed the same encouraging progress of the com

One of the most remarkable charae-
ters ever produced by Kentucky Is Gen.
Adam Rankin johnson. who now lives
In Marble Falls, Texas. which town ne
founded. He selected the location of
this settlement and was the organizer
OF the industries. although many years
before he lost his sight as the result OF
a fight In the civil war.
Gen. Johnson moved to Kentucky in
1854. During the civil war he was one
of the confidential scouts OF Gen. For
rest until after the evacuation Of Cor
inth. Ordered into Kentucky on the
night OF the evacuation on secret serv-
ice, and with only one tried and true
friend, he nanked the great federal
armies and reached in safety his des-
tination In Kentcky. and there. iso-
lated from any aid from the confeder-
Rcy, taised, mounted and equipped over
1000 men, drawing his arms and am
munition from the enemy. With the
aid OF only two men, Col r. NJ. Martin,
now OF Louisville. and Capt. A. f..
owen of Evansville, Ind. he attacked
the provost guard OF the town of Hen
derson, killed and wounded the cap
tain and lieutenant and eight or nine
soldiers. With twenty-seven men he
crossed the Ohio river and made the
first capture during the war north OF
Mason and Dixon's line tNewburg,
Ind.). carrying of over 500 stands OF
arms and paroling ITO men. This
gave him the soubriquet OF "Stovepips
Johnson" as he used stovepipes to
initiate cannon, and threatened to shell
the town, thus causing the surrender.
The capture of HENDERSON, Hopkins
Vile, Clarkville and Uniontown, with
their garrisons. and many other des-
perate engagements Of his. are worthy
OF being interestingly recalled. He
commanded one of Morgan's brigades
on the Ohio raid, and afterwards re-
organized that command and COM
manded II during the battle OF Chicka-
mauga. Later, on his second expedi-
tion, which was forlorn hope, he en-
tered Kentucky with fifty-6ve men and
officers, issuing his conseript order that
caused Burbridge and Hobson to eus-
pend their secret expedition into Vir'
ginia and turn their forces against
him. This has been considered one ol
the most daring and successful fsats oi
the war. and President Davis himself
said II did as much to prolong the wal
as any other movement. II was II
