Little Village Eoasts Three Names
and Residence of J. r. Morgan.
Just to the south of West Point there
IL a little village on the Hudson that
gl0ries In three names. It has had
two names for years, but the third Is
q recent and confusing addition. BY
It's residents II Is called Highland Falls.
This name Is derived from that hand.
some cataract sometimes called But
termilk Falls" which comes tumbling
down through the mountains to make
Anal leap over huge rock into the
Hudson. The north of the falls ID q
great cliff. II was on this cliff num-
Der Of years ago, says the New York
Times. that hotel was built by a man
named Cranston. The village Of High.
land Falls lies back Of this cliff, and
very little Of II Is discernlblc from the
river. AS Cranston owned the prop
erty to the rivers edge, the West Shore
Railroad Company was obliged to &C.
cure land for It's station from him. He
also owned the dock where the steam.
boats tie up. SO both the railroad
station and the dock became known
as Cranston's. although there was Of
Cranston's only the hotel. while the
village Of Highland Falls numbers sew
eral thousand people.
For years Cranston's Hotel was a
fashionable resort. Fashion left Il and
It was closed. Recently the building.
grounds and dock were purchased by
the Franciscan Sisters, who have turn.
ed 1t into n seminary for young ladies.
When this was In readiness for schol.
ars the sisters decided to call It Lady
cliffe Academy. and they accordingly
changed the name of the dock to Lady
cllffe."
And SO 1t happens that II you want to

boat you get a ticket for "Ladycliffe."
and II you 20 by train your ticket reads

This little village with the surplusage
Of names Is the home Of ]. Pierpont

Perhaps some day he may I've induced

GREAT SHAKE-UP
 IN STOCK MARKET Spectators Put Prices in State ofViolent EfferveScence SENSATIONAL GAINS MADE The Jump Came Shortly After the Call and Later Most of the Advances
 Were Wiped Out Making
 the Close Steady.
SENSATIONAL GAINS MADE:

New York, January 5. Speculators jumped into the stock market this morning and put prices into a state of violent effer- vescence. They quickly skinned the froth at the top level of prices to take profits and attracted so large following 10 the selling side that the sensational opening gains were mostly wiped out before the close. and in all eases greatly reduced
 After a day of violent excitement at eX- ceedingly wide fluctuations the market was decidedly easy in tone at the close and at a level generally below last night. There were some important exceptions and there were a number of spasmodic rallies of weak stocks on covering by shorts. It was a spectators day pure and simple and whatever substantial considerations may have been behind the buying demand was almost completely lost sight of in frenzy of speculative excitement.
 No story was too wild or improbable to gain ready credence The growth of the conviction that St. Paul is to pass to the control of the northern trans-continenta1 lines has made the speculative mind open to almost anything in the way of rumors regarding railroad combinations. Capital ists who have been influential in the St. Paul deal are supposed to have additional far-reaching plans. The supposed plans were made the basis of today's extraordi- nary movement. The authorized announce ment before the close that J. F. Morgan & Co., had control of the Central of New Jer- sey Railroad Company offered some basis for the rumors current.
 The small buying demand resulting from the disbursement of January dividends and interest was an early disappointment. These were accounted for at first by the delay in the return to the channels of the money market of these disbursed funds. But the failure of this investment buying to develop punctually in the first week Of January caused inconvenience to those spectators who had calculated on taking their profit by meeting this demand, and suggested the conclusion that intended in- vestors had probably been in competition early by the speculators themselves at the lower level prices. With the reactionary tendency once established, the money lend CTS were less liberal in their terms. This was not reflected in the money rate, but took the form of discrimina tion against certain stocks which were rejected as col lateral for loans.
 Railroad bonds have not escaped the re- actionary tendency of stocks, and have not shown as vigorous tendency to recovery as stocks.

New York. January 5.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 The markets were good all around here today. The Americans were wildly excited, and there was a great rush of professional buyers to get in at the start. Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul shares were eagerly sought, and in the bidding for them the price was rapidly bid up. After that there was relapse in St. Paul to 15h, the close being 166% and the market generally react cd after this extremely strong commence ment till another purchasing cable came along and carried everything to finish at the top
 The bear account in St. Paul here is not believed to be very large. The features in the American department were Pennsyl- vania, Erie and Reading and Northern Pa- ciics. The continent lent some support dur ing the day.

 From the South.
INFLUX OF BUYING ORDERS

New York, January 5-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of to 10 points and immediately became very firm and an influx of buying orders from the south, west, Wall street and Europe. Sell CTS were scarce and the whole fiber of the market seemed to have swung around to a solid bull affair. The further remarkable rise in stocks in Wall street helped in an indirect way to enthuse the bull contin- gent. The primary influence of bullish sig nificance was rise of 41a@5 points in fu- lures and 1-16d in spot cotton in the Liver pool market, or decidedly more than ex- pected.
 Supplementary factors of support were reports from the south that exporters and northern spinners were paying Bc higher pidces for desirable grades of spot cotton that the movement on evey side showed a shrinkage and that 10-cent cotton generally an the belt was looked for next week. The weekend mill reports were fully as good as expected. Manchester cables again re- ported a splendid India and China trade while continental shorts were rapidly de- serting the bear side and covering on the fear of a further tightening of all cotton markets.
 The market closed steady, with prices net unchanged to F points higher.

TRADE IN LATIN AMERICA.

Than We Do.

The United States does not have, in
any part of Latin America, the share
of trade which it's productivity and
proximity entitle it to. The Germans,
the English, the French, and even the
Spaniards, exhibit a higher degree OF
commercial intelligence than we do in
dealing with the Latin Americans. Our
merchants and manufacturers are
loath to understand that, III order to
succeed in Central or South America,
they must conform to business meth
DDS to which centuries of usage have
given the force and prestige OF nation
al customs. If we want to do business
with the South Americans, we must, IN
n large measure, do business in their
way. and notify to force our methods
upon them, though we may be con-
yinced that our manner Of conducting
commercial affairs is superiortothel
