MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All the Lead
ing Stocks.

New York. Jan. 4-Today was one of
the most exciting days IN the history OF
the New York Stock Exchange. The
matter of recording the transactions on
the Exchange is inexact at the best and
especially in such mari ct as today are
transactions likely to be lost from the
record. But there can be no doubt in the
minds of skilled observers that the aggre-
gate sales for today exceed anything ever
done before on the Exchange. The recent
level of activity has been beyond all pre-
cedent. 50 that the previous record is
near at hand for comparison. The re-
corded transactions footed up 1.9S195l
shares, compared with previous record
OF l.623,lS9 shares, Nov. II. 1900. There
have been wider price movements than
any Of those made in individual stocks or
IN groups of stocks, but IT is doubtful
whether there has ever before been 50
violent fluctua tons in the average price
for all stocks traded in as from the low
price to the high price, today. The con-
fusion during the early hours of the mar
ket while the ultimate course of prices
was sun in controversy. was beyond all
the late period of the day when the de-
mand was al its height and prices were
moving most rapidly upward, warrants
the use of the term frenzy. 1t would be
useless to attempt to analyze closely the
causes underlying such as todayS mar
ket. There was a return in full force OF
all the bullish sentiment which has
stirred up the stock market for two
months past and which was checked bv
yesterdays depression. There was OF
course the actual buying requirement
from the bear element, which over.ex-
tended itself, yesterday on the confident
assumption that a reaction was eslab-
hshed and would run lcngthenc
course. The actual buying from this ele-
ment, however, could have formed bit a
comparatively small proportion of the to-
tai transactions conducted. today. The
sentiment at the effect of the rebound on
current opinion was far more worth, of
account The day opened with the bars
in confident mood and they attacked the
market with enthusiasm. The decidedly
gloomy state of mind on the London sbck
market was of material aid to them and

set. The weakness of the market vas

The government report shows that
the total amount of gold received at
the Seattle assay Office last year was
So, O3S. 1912. Nearly, but not quite, all
of this came from Alaska and the adj
jacent portions of British America, in
the Klondike district. This seems like
an impressive amount of money, and it
is quite a substantial addition to the
wealth of the country; but when we
read further that the owners of this
gold numbered 7,O16, and then do a
little figuring, we find that they aver
aged only a few cents over So, 101
apiece, and since this was their aver
age. many of them must have had a
great deal less to show for their hard
work and poor living in the Arc tic

that these 7,106 lucky men formed but

the wider views of facts and the better
understanding of possibilities given
by higher education, came to women a
new sense of the community of all
normal interests. and of the duty of
forwarding these. not only by passive

the advancement of woman during the

The tone of the newspaper comments
upon Governor Hills inaugural ad-
dress are extremely complimentary to
our new Chief Executive, and are in
harmony with those heard everywhere
about the Capitol after the address was

of Maine have full confidence in Gov
ernor Hill and their confidence is not
misplaced.

the times, that the official machinery
called government, may move along
without friction. A state is an organ
iZation made up from all its citizens
for the purpose of securing good and
economical government. Hence II can
be seen that the governor. who studies
how the old shall give place to the
new in the easiest manner possible,
who endeavors to keep the official
machinery running with the least fric-

welfare Of the state. Measured by the
above standard. Governor HIS
