LASS|IUDE N STOCKS
But Close Better at Mixed Net
Changes.
UNDERGONE OF FIRMNESS
Cheaper Money and improved
Demand for Bonds.

New York. Jan 1s.-Stock market con
ditions showed no general change from
those prevailing for some time past and
general lassitude was the Characteristic.
One or two railroad stocks reflected a
fair demand, notably the Norfolk and
Western issues and Union Pacific. The
bought in moderate volume. Yesterdays
movement in Leather from which specu-
lators hoped the market would receive
an impulse, dwindled away and profit
taking depressed the price. Sugar was
advanced in a desultory manner during
the early part of the day but in the af-
ternoon broke over points from the top
level and unsettled the whole market.
Covering by the bears in Sugar, and the
late demand for Union Pacific, stiffened
the market again and served TO retrieve
a part Of the declines. making the close
firm and the net changes mixed. There
was very marked absorption OF new
and reorganization bonds. which served
as background 70 the strength Of the
whole market for securities. The under
tone was Enthusiastically firm. and in spite
OF the very light demand there was no
pressure to sell stocks. The further re-
duction in the Bank of England's private
rate OF discount and the weekly return
Of the Bank served TO confirm confidence
in the money outlook. The strength in
London on this score and on the hopes
engendered by the meager news from
South Africa caused some reflected
strength in the New York stock market.
Reserves continue TO accumulate in the
New York banks. both by reason of the
rehux of funds from the interior. the
deposit OF internal revenue collections
with the banks, and extraordinary gov
eminent disbursements by the sub-treas-
ury on account Of pensions. The stock
market demand for money on call con-
tinuing very light. funds are pressing
more and more for employment in time
loans. which are quoted as low as IL
pc. cent on all railroad stock collateral.
Extraordinary loans are even reported al
4 ner cent and mercantile paper or a
high grade IS coming into additional de-
mand at 5 per cent. Today's strong I'M
dertone in stocks was emphasized by the
good reports received during the day OF
railroad earnings for the second week IN
January. The hardening tendency OF
sterling exchange was viewed with tran
guilty because the Bank Of England has
withdrawn its concessions on gold ex-
ports. thus raising the gold export point
FOR exchange considerably above that at
which gold has recently gone out Clos
ing nrices Of stocks were as follows:

ART WORKS FOR LIBRARY.

What would be considered public
benefaction by the Library board, would
be the gift Of really good works of art,
either in sculpture or painting. The
board has well defined purpose in view
of increasing the scope of the library by
hanging on the walls choice works of
art, which, in addition to being beauti-
full to look upon would incite to culture
and elegance in taste. The board has
determined that no picture shall have a
permanent place in the rooms, unless it
has artistic merit in execution and sub
ject. 1t is not long way off before this
city will have a substantial library
building, 1t is generally admitted thai
a public library is utilitarian as well
as an educational institution, and its
value has been over and over again de-
termined in the lives of young men and
women who get their first impetus
for intellectual and artistic achievement
in these places. If any one wishes to
contribute to the value of Manitowoc's
library, they can do it in no better way
than by donating first-class picture or
piece of statuary
