 NARROW MARKET
 IN WALL STREET Speculative Sentiment Was Very
 Much Observed. VIOLENT BREAK IN I. C. 6 l. Traders Were Generally Disposed to Sell Stocks on the General Out look. Striking Declines in z
 Bank Clearances.
VIOLENT BREAK IN I. C. 6 1

New York, February 2-The general speculative sentiment as reflected in the stock market was a good deal obscured to- day by the demoralization in Third Avenue Active trading in stock with a resulting drop in the price of over ten points is bound to have considerable effect in a narrow market, however peculiar and individual may be the cause which induces the sell ing.
 A rather violent break in Tennessee Coal had the same tendency As a matter of fact traders were disposed to sell stocks on the general outlook, especially the reports from trade authorities that prices of materials, especially the metals, were yielding. There was also the fear that the cutting of grain rates on the trunk lines would spread to other classifcatons and some rather strik- ing declines in the volume of bank clear anees, compared with the corresponding period of last year.
 There can be no doubt that bankers are influenced in their liberality. in ordering credits by the possibility of currency in- hation authorized by the pending financial bill. Sufficient attention has been called to the fact that the bill authorizing an ex- tension of bank note circulation to the amount of the par value of bonds at pres ent deposited to secure circulation, which would be 10 per cent. increase. But not so much attention has been given to the fact that bonds at present deposited to se- cure circulation amount to only $235, ,S30, TO while national banks capital amounts to $606 ,000. which fixes the limits of the bank note circulation permitted. The re- funding plan provides for the issue of new bonds to the amount of the present prem ium on outstanding bonds, which will be available for deposit to secure an additional circulation. The additional profit afforded on circulation by the new provisions, 1t is believed will invite bank note expansion to the limit authorized, unless the premium on the new bonds becomes excessive.
 Business in bonds has been on a some what diminishing scale In an irregular mar ket. The market for government bonds has been unusually active at rising prices, on account of the pendency of the refunding measure. United States 2s advanced 3s; 3s, F; As, a4 and old 4s and 5s, 1b per cent in the bid price.

CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY

New York, February A.-Cotton opened 5 to 10 points higher on an ad-around bet ter acceptance of the market by the puo- lie generally. There was a special demand for August from all sides.
 Later prices eased off few points under realizing, but in the main the market held firm in undertone. At Il o'clock the net rise here was 5ql2 points, the market hay ing recovered its full strength Later the market became very irregular with the short interest particularly nervous About the only sellers were longs, who. as matter Of conservative trading, preferred to take profits rather than hold over till Monday. As a rule, however, longs were disposed to increase rather than decrease their interest.
 The market closed steady at a net ad- vance of 6@16 points.
 A wall street house has 25,60O bales of cotton here or on the way to deliver on March contracts which Greek export house will take, although the cotton grades are much better than wanted. The dispo- sition on the part of the exporters to take cotton Of unsatisfactory character stimu- lated the market as renecting the desttu tion of foreign spinners.

ANATURE-LovER's WEALTH

The following extract from an inter-
view with Mr.. John Burroughs, recent
ly published in Success, contains
things that are well worth thinking
about:
az consider the desire which most
persons have for the luxuries that
money can buy an error OF mind. 1t
means nothing except a lack of higher
tastes. Such wants are not necessary
wants, not honorable wants. If you!
cannot get wealth with a noble pur-
pose, it is better to abandon it n
get something else.
peace of mind is n of the best
things to seek-and finer tastes and
feelings. The man who gets these,
and maintains himself comfortably, is
much more admirable and successful
than the man who gets money and
neglects these. The realm of power
has no fascination for me. l would
rather have my seclusion and peace
of mind.

to wear, and time to see how beautiful

keep them that makes them seem so

CHINESE WALL
And h Its Demolition for Paving
Stones Means.

anu What 1ts DemOl1n0n fOr f3Vin&
stones Means.
Chicago Tribune: II Frank G..
Lewis Of Chicago is going to tear down
the great wall of China and use the
material for paving stones he has a
big contract ON hand. The main or
outer wall was built 200 years before
Christ, and runs from the sea along
the northern boundary of China for a
distance of 1900 miles. The inner wall
branches off from the outer and forms
the arc of a circle 500 miles in circum-
ference. The outer wall is built of
huge pieces of uncut stone, faced
through the most Of its length with
huge bricks. 1t is from Is to 80 feet
in height and from Is to rs feet In
width. The inner wall is almost twice
the height and is almost the same
width. Along the top of the inner wall
runs for it's entire length a promenade
Is feet wide. The engineering diff
culties overcome and the great amount
OF labor spent in building the walls
may be gathered from the fact that
they run up the side OF mountains,
across rivers and everywhere follow
the boundary of the ancient empire.
Even to this day the savage Mogul
tribes regard the great wall as the limit
of their pastures. The two walls to-
gether if stretched out in a straight
line, would reach from New York to
Las Vegas, SO that II they had been in
place Governor Roosevelt might have
| ridden his broncho all the distance
from home to the Rough Riders re-
| union without d~ismounting. Broken
up into paving stones the two walls
would cover a roadbed 100 feet wide
and reaching from New York to San
Francisco.

FROM THE GALLERY.

In the 'third floor back" of a dismal
looking lodging house in q street near
Waterloo bridge, a man was standing,
singing. In a dilapidated armchair by
the window, his audience-one wee,
pretty 1assie-was curled up, wrapped
about with an overcoat, for it was the
afternoon Of Christmas day, and there
was no fire in the cherries CRATE.

Don't try your eyes. Shall we have our
usual chat in the dark, pet? There is
no rehearsal tonight. Ugh! how cold
it is. Have we no coal or wood,
dearie?"
"No, dad; but it isn't very much
colder without fire, because the silly
smoke won't go up the chimney, some

open when we do have a fire."

Dad" she said, as she nestled close

have a Christmas pudding some day.
Shall I sing to you, Babsie?" he in
terposed hastily. And, gently strokins
her soft curls, he broke into a lively
music hall ditty.
Babsie was soon fast asleep. He lift
ed her up and placed her on the bed.
Heaven help her!" he murmured
sadly, as he gazed upon the sweet
white face. "If I had only been a la
