stability there was little of interest
manifest in local metal articles to-day.
Copper ruled exceptionally dull and
nominally quoted at SIT 90 for Lake
Superior and 1876 for casting and cleo

were offered freely. At London prices

to rule inactive, but about steady at

vance in the face Of the decline here
Saturday. Much long wheat was for
sale and a moment later the market
touched 741sc. Statistics, however,
were bullish. Worlds shipments were

$3.50 900 bushels, the week previous
Antwerp reported the breaking out of
the bubonic plague in argentina. There
was a better demand for hour and this
impaired strength to the cash wheat
market. Buying by sold out bulls and
covering by shorts began at the top of
the gong and continued in a moder-
ately active way to the end. The mar
ket advancing with only fractional
checks occasioned by profit taking A
decrease Of $4,000 bushels helped sus-
tain the advance. but the main sup
port came from the strength of cash
wheat. The amount taken by export
ers was constantly added to until at
the close the seaboard claimed al
loads. Export sales from western and
northwestern points aggregated nearly
100000 bushels. May wheat rose to

ed $4,000 bushels. Minneapolis and

In provisions the tendency was
easier. Hog receipts were under the

me complete recovery of the stock
market from the prior alarming weak
ness shown during the early hours of
trading this morning was an astonish-
ing demonstration of recuperative
force. The speculative liquidation at
the opening was so violent as 10 give
an appearance of semi-demoralizatio
IN the market and the selling was ev-
identity forced by the wiping out of
margins and the urcovering of stop
loss orders. Yet before the day closed
the general level OF prices had risen
above Saturday and the last hour of
the market showed an urgent and con-
fldent buying movement in force. The
early weakness was the logical Sc
quence of the course of the market
last week and the general apprehen-
sion that further reaction was in
eV1table. In market in which extern
slVe long accounts exist this means
that brokers, in order to protect them
selves, call for additional security from
their customers for the extension of
margins. This discloses many Der-
sons who are unwilling or unable to
supply further margins, and who order
the sale of their holdings either to
take what profits are left or to save
losses. The professional bear opera
tors are able to judge pretty shrewdly
OF the probable volume of such orders
This purely technical influence in the
market was reinforced this morning
by the feeling of depression. common

steel stocks and l to 2 points in the
principal active stocks all through the

was the unwieldly short interest. which
stood eagerly waiting to take nrofts
by buying stocks at the decline. There
was an influential section of the mar

depression. Missouri Pacific gave way
only II and was Immediately marked
up to level substantially above Satur-
day and held there throughout the
day. In the late dealings it rose
buoyantly to 90& which was 51s above
the early low point. The bears follow

largest buying of the stock came from

GREAT RECUPERATIVE FORCE |

NEW YORK, January 21.-The

The markets here were gloomy un-
der the influence of the news from Os
borne, although the latest dispatch
! received from the market said that
an early rally in the Queens condition
was maintained. The city, however,
is hopeless of ultimate recovery. The
business transacted was meagre. Con-
suls dipped to 957s, the lowest quo
tation during the last seven years,
mainly, however, on account or the
dread that new big war loan is
impending. The final price was 96A.
Americans were very much depressed
at the opening, but within an hour
London began to buy, reporting par
tiles. New York came very weak, es-
pecially for Northern Pacific, but at
the close an upward twist was given,
so that the final prices were about
half way between the worst and the
best. London sold on balance. New
York bought and the continent took
Northern Pacifics and Union Pacific
les.
Money rates were unchanged, deal
ings being restricted by the belief
that the bank must take steps to Sc
cure control Of the market during the
next fortnight
Silver was rather weak despite the

Of Gods compassion for His creatures
II Will not turn away from them 10 do
them good."-Philadelphia Ledger.

There was a shipwreck in midocean.
The captain and several Of the crew on
q dark night got out into the lifeboat.
The wind blew out the lantern. Have
any Of you match" asked the cap
tain. After 4 long search just one
match was found. on shore that match
would not be worth half cent. but
now it is the most valuable thing they
have, because in order TO be picked up
by passing vessel they must have a
light. The sailors take of their coats,
cold as it is, and hang them all around
the match when it is struck, that the
wind may not blow it out. Your faith,
worthless in itself as tie world may
deem it, is the light that attracts the
attention Of God and Of angels. 1t is
the thing that saves you. Guard it at
whatever expense. To be wrecked in
faith is TO be wrecked in character
