THE STOCK MARKET
Considerable Show of Animation Late .Ycsterdav

| Considerable snow Of Animation Late | Yesterday.
 | New York, Jan 19.-The dullness and
 apathy which prevailed in the stock
 market all week gave place in the late dealings to-day to a considerable show Of animation and strength. Business
 broadened out and embraced greatly
 extended list of stocks and practically all which were dealt in advanced brisk ly to level substantially above that
 of last night. The immediate motive of
 the buying movement was the prelinl-
 mary estimate of the gains in cash for
 the week by the New York banks. The
 money market during the week has
 shown with sufficient clearness that cash
 reserves were being largely replenished,
 but it is rather tradition with stock
 operators to defer action to discount the bank statement until Friday after
 noon. There has been very large
 waiting contingent in Wall street
 watching for some positive development
 in the market before committing them
 selves to action. All the larger commits
 sion houses had been advising their customers to refrain from action and
 await developments. Apparently large proportion of these were impressed by the earlier events of the day and came in with buying orders in force in the last hour. The professional traders themselves turned in body to the long side of the market after having made a savage drive in the morning at Third avenue, breaking that stock over 10 points. The amount of stocks brought out on the decline did not prove very encouraging and the rest of the market was not acutely affected. A number of positive points of strength also devel- oped, notably in Missouri Pacific, in which there was evidence of operations by a pool. The whole of the southwest ern group was affected in sympathy notwithstanding the deterioration in earnings on account of a small cotton movement. The metal group was also strong led by Steel and Wire, which was bought in anticipation of dividend action. Sugar was a prominent figure in the advance on heavy dealings in which the demand from the shorts was a large factor. The advance in the price of refined sugar by the American Refining company and the immediate following of the advance by the inde- pendent company justiies some scep- ticism as to the nature of the conflict said to be waging in that industry. These special points of strength were the vantage points from which the late general advance in prices was inaugur- ated. There were rumors all day of the relief of Ladysmith, but as London sold

TERRIBLE SITUATION IN INDIl

TERRIBLE SITUATION IN INDIA
 Calcutta, Jan. 19.--The council to- day considered the famine situation. The official estimates show, the cost to the government of the relief works, etc, to the end of March will be forty million rupees. About twentytwo mil lion persons are now affected in Brit ish territory and about twenty-seven million in the native states. The vice. roy, Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, said the famine area had expanded, surpassing the worst fears, and they were now facing cattle water and food scarcity of terrible character. About 3250,00 persons, he continued, were already re- ceiving relief.
 While in 1897 the world shared India's sorrow and contributed hundreds of thousands of pounds towards the relief fund the viceroy pointed out, India now would have to struggle alone, for the thoughts of every Englishman in the world were centered on South Af- rica.

ILLINOIS ANTITRUST LAWS.
Decision in the Cases Involving the
COnstitutiOnality of the Laws
In Question.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Judges Tuley,
Waterman and Dunno, of the circuit
court, sitting en- banc, handed down a
decision in the corporation cases in
volving the constitutionality Of the
antitrust laws of Illinois, in which
the court ruled that corporations in
Illinois must continue to make aft
davits to the secretary of state that
they are in no way connected with
any trust or combination in restraint
Of trade. The decision, in effect, sus-
tains that section of the antitrust law
which compels the filing, under pen
atty, of an affidavit from each cor
poration that it is innocent of con-
nection with a trust.
Section Of the antitrust act,
which describes and defines trusts, as
amended, is held to be unconstitution-
al by two Of the judges, but the court
is unanimous in declaring that the
amendatory section providing for the
filing of the affldavts does not fall
with section /, and the final decision
overrules the demurrer of the de-
PENDANTS in the test cases. The deci-
sion involves the enforcement Of fines
of $50 on nearly 800 Illinois corpora.
tions which have refused to file affi'
davits with the secretary Of state as
required by law.
