THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Nov. %. The rcactionary tendency
which weighed On the stock market during the
latter part of last week was distinctly overcome
today and prices resumed their upward course.
The advance was by no means uniform, the strik
ing gains being confined TO comparatively lew
stocks. In some stocks the resistance was not
more than enough TO enable them only to hold
their own while a small number by positive
weakness gave slight irregnlarity to the market.
The course Of prices was by 10 means determined
at once. bear traders operated on the short side
OF the market for a considerable after the OPEN
ing. Notable strength in particular STOCKS. ac.
companied by r,imois of changes Of control helped
the tnarkct and the bears were finally driven to

renewed there was by no means the large volume
Of business which has been the average tor orcr
two weeks past. Tho Southern Railway stocks
were in special demand. Many rumors were cur
rent Of developments in the company. including
coming increase Of dividend No authoritative
sanction could be had for any Of these runors.
The common and preferred stocks advanced an
extreme 9 points each. Strength was radiatcd
first to the southern group and then to the soutn-
western, in which soinc striking gains ro-
corded. Roth tho preferred stocks on which
priced common stocks Tor which dividend pros-
poets are remote at the best were affected alike.
The weekly earnings reported today on some. OF
these systems showed sharp decreases from last
Pacific and Denver and Rio Grandc. Ne,crthc-
less the stocks held prominent place in tie
advance. Gains in the group IAN from one to
nearly three points. The northerly grang-
crs came into the movement. especially Burling-
.on. hut did not show such marked strength.
The leading spcciAltes were very strong. in
cluding Sugar and Peoples Gas The local
fractions showed good recovery and Conso'idat-
ed Gas was conspicuous with a rise of Az. Tho
steel stocks were decidedly unsettled steel and
wire showing q cut and weakness at times. Re-

SCANDALS AT TOXIC.
Japan Becoming CfvfIized-An Anti
Cruelty Crusade started by the Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
YOKOHAMA, Nov. 20, via San Francisco,
Dec. 9.-The whole empire is ringing with
the Toxic municipal scandals. The worst
feature of the case is the Involvement of
one of the Cabinet ministers. Party feel
ing runs high, and it is at present impossi-
bic to predict the outcome.
The Association of Japanese Journalists
has started an a~nti-cruelty crusade, hav-
ing for its impulse the extraordinary ST.
lence of the European and American pa
pers on the Russian and French outrages.
especially the massacre by the forces Of
the former nation upon the Amur river.
IL IS noted by the foreign press here as
somewhat extraordinary that the chief
nate from a heather" nation and from
one to which the western world was only
q short time ago reading moral lessons
upon ~barbarity and administering the Sc
verest rebukes for its want of a civilized
spirit and methods in the conduct of war
fare.
The Buddhists have been stirred into
unwonted activity by the Chinese situa-
tfon. One evidence of this is the issuance
of an excellently written pamphlet I'm Eng.
in the world" asking the latter TO revise
their methods of missionary work so as TO
help China, instead Of seeking to over
throw her social life and thus bring on
moral chaos.
Rear Admiral Beardslee, u. s. N. is the
Japanese, as he was a member of Perry's
expedition. having been a midshipman at
the time the landing was made at Urugua.
In connection with his visit a movement
ment the spot made historic in the annals
OF the empire.
