The fluctuations were hesitating and
uncertain at all times. The only news
of the day concerning the stock was
the underwriting at par of bond
issue to finance the Southern Pacific
purchase. The latter stock also showed
some strength. The steel stocks made
a great show of strength just at the
opening. Tin Plate jumped nearly 8
points, Steel and Wire 2A and Federal
Steel only IN None of the advances
were fully maintained except Federal
Steel, and business in the group fell
to comparatively small proportions.
The belief continued strong in Wall
street that the plan for adjustment of
control of the steel properties is max
ing progress. But the stocks did not
reflect clearly any news. Sugar had
an advance of 3A. The movement of
cash from the interior by mail and
express is expected to be sufficient to
offset loss of over million dollars
to the Sub-treasury on account of the
heavy customs payments. There have
apparently been large special move
ments of funds from nearby cities and
from San Francisco, although New
York exchange at Chicago had declin-
ed to 80 cents discount. Nobody ven

There was a considerable falling off
in the volume of dealing in stocks to-
day and the decline would have been
much more marked had it not been for
the bringing forward into activity of
horde of low-priced stocks of the class
denominatcd amongst the brokers as
"cats and dogs" It is characteristic of
a long bull movement that it should
eventually reach into the dregs of the
list and stir up the sediment of the
market. The theory is that the gener-
ally higher range Of values attained in
the general market entities the low
priced stock to some increase in valu-
alton, even without special develop
ment in the affairs of the properties.
The bidding up of these stocks is also
d favorite device by bull operators to
sustain the market for the purpose of
realizing in the higher priced stocks
which have already enjoyed their adj
vance. So far as the railroad depart
ment of the stock market was con-
cerned this was clearly what was going
or to-day. AS matter of fact COM
bination rumors were circulated re-
gErding the railroad whose stocks are
selling below forty, as has become the
fashion in connection with bull move
ments, but some of the stocks were bid
up without specific rumors on the gem
eral principle that any railroad is aviI-
able for a combination nowadays. The
most clearly defined rumors applied to
the Wabash securities and the group
OF railroads operating in Colorado.
These made Wabash a connecting link
to be absorbed by Lackawanna and to
take in the Gould southwestern rail-
roads in the formation of new
through railroad system from the east
to the southwestern gulf ports. The
rumor of projected consolidation in
the several railroad lines took on yari-
Gus forms, some of which were author
itatively denied. The gains in this
class of railroad stocks ran all the way
from l to 5 points. st. Joe & Grand
Island first gaining five and Wabash
common 3$ All of the securities of
both roads were affected in a less de-
gree, and there were gains besides in
the Colorado & Southern stocks. Dem

Central. The rest of the railroad list
was singularly sluggish all day and
there was only a handful of stocks
that got as much as a point away from

list vibrated narrowly, both above and
below last nights level. Union Pa

ANNUAL REPORT

OF the Womans' linton Benevolent
Society Made Public Yesterday.
The eighteenth report OF the Womans'
Union Benevolent Society, for the year
ending December, 1900, is as follows:
The society has held during the year.
nine regular meetings. The work has
been carried on in the several wards
by the efficient chairmen, in their usual
careful and methodicai way, every case
being thoroughly investigated before
assistance is given.
The society has given no public en-
tertainment of any kind during the year,
but through the liberality of some of
our citizens, and the yearly dues paid
in by members, has been able to keep
the work we'll in hand, and still have a
nice balance in the treasury at the emu
of the year. One of our most liberal
patrons and sincere friend OF the So
ciety. Mr.. Henry K. List has recently
been called to his reward. But although
The rests from his labors, his works do
follow him" And the children of Mrs
Julia Rhodes have annually paid the
amount which she in her lifetime con-
tributed to our work. The regular New
Years reception was rendered the Young
Mems Christian Association and was
very successful. We were also again
kindly remembered by Geo. E. Stifel &
Co., at their Iwenty-second Anniver-
ssary with a check for 1920 The work
of the society is constantly increasing
and its beneficence widening, but if we
still have the encouragement and finan-
cial support OF the citizens of Wheel
ing as we have had in the past the So
ciety viii feel repaid for its work.

blegram:
Though business on the stock ex-
change here was limited to-day the
tone in the general list was steady.
American stocks were an exception.
Their movement was very erratic. The
prices at the opening were depressed
and in the first hour there was free
selling all around Then the market
found its feet and Union and Southern
Pacific issues were bid UP sharply,
steadying the list.
New York prices as they came in on
the cable caused violent see-saw to-
ward the end, and the close was irreg-
Union Pacific fiat, the Denver issues
buoyant and the rest of the market
sagging
Grand Trunk dropped heavily on the
disappointing dividend news.
Tintos spurted on the expectation
of the declaration of dividend of sos
in April. Anacondas were affected
sympathetically.
Money was a little bit SITTER, call
loans to 31a per cent; time money,
3A per cent. The market renewed a
fair amount of the money borrowed
from the bank and took more at 5
per cent for three days. January trade
reports show an increase of 80 in
food stuffs and raw cotton, an increase
of 40 in exports, principally of tex
tiles.
The new war loan, which was ex-
pected tonight, was announced after
the close of business. The govern
ment asks for tenders for eleven mil
lions 8 per cent. exchequer bonds, re-
payable at par in 1905.
