WALL STREET REVIEW PRoFIT-TAKING CHECKED THE

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-There were attempts to hold the market this morning by the gnafk-

 ozsn eodSr iST in whaS hs @ amounted to 10000 shares. Metropolitan Street Railway started upward to iI2S but fell back to overa a point below last night and closed unchanged. The dealings in Sugar were on a very large scale with no news to ac- count for them beyond the geenral expecta- ton of reduction in duties on Cuban sugars. This stock was lifted nearly points: but closed unchanged. Amalgamated Copper fared better, the late recovery carrying it back to 72k. the best of the day. and at a net ad- a speculativel pool who cited the strength of coppers in foreign markets as an argument in its favor. There were also reports of i'm proved trade conditions as indicated by the good demand for copper in Europe and reports of large export demand here. Ruinors of an agreement to restrict the output of American producers accompanied the advance. The strength of American Smelling was sup and Western Union noticeably firm and Peoples Gas showed some strength on the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend: St. Lawrence and Adirondack nearly 4 points more on the announce ment of the pur- and the redemption of $500 GOO of it's per cent bonds. There was news during the day to explain satisfactory the reactionary tendency which developed. which therefore must be credited to profit taking. The reports of very cold weather threatening the West may have had somewhat depressing inhu- once, as 1t had strengthening influence on wheat. The sitting of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the matter of railway combi- nations was the subject of discussion and may have had depressing effect.

shorts and the cold weather predictions; The weakness of yesterday. however. was still felt and on Western bearish tendencies the market turned weak. The Kansas City corn blockade still had a weakening effect. though Western offerings still light. Receipts here were small. but the Southwestern and coast mar kets showed declines and May slumped to 62%. Cables showed comparative firmness and later the cold weather got in it's bu!lish effect. There seemed, however. to be waiting ten dency in the pit and though there was some fair buying il took May up only to 63c. The close was steady, hdhc higher at 62B463. Receipts were 50 cars.
 Oats suffered worst of the pits on the early dip. At the outset they were fractioLally high CT. but they soon broke sharply Ic to 441. The selling not prominent, being scattered outside stops. There was no apparent attempt to support the market and the subsequent rise In the other pits took oats only up part of the way. May closed easy iamBc lower at 447sm45. Receipts were io2 cars.
 Provisions were fairly active and started firm with higher prices on a strong hog mar ket. The later grain weakness brought some sharp selling in pork. but when grains began to firm up, short covering and replacing some long lines brought good rally. May pork closed l2Iec up at Sl6.471a: May lard 7ls@ 0c higher at S9. 5oGe. 5212, and clay ribs 71s up at S8 57lz

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The Commercial Ad- vertser's London financial cabegT2m says: The approaching settlement has a tendency to check ventures in the stock market and at the same time to induce realiza- tion. Investment shares are hardening pros loans is expected to encourage general bor- rowing. American shares were quite idle, but New York bid prices up fractioaally. The argument that is used here is that a verdict sustaining the legality of the Northern Securi- ties Company deal would not stimulate public buying, while verdict against the consoli- dation scheme might moan l0-point drop in the stocks of the constituent companies The and closed at 433s Copper only h. but the market thinks the corner has been turned A leading Rio tintos official sailed for Ameri- ca on Wednesday presumed to arrange some terms with Amalgamated Copper. There is also a rumor that Calumet and Heckla mas come into the agreement. Money is very scarce and the Bank of England has begun borrowing in order to make its lower dis count rate effective. The sale has delayed continental exchanges.

SAVANNAH. Jan. 24-(SpeciaI )-The rise in the turpentne market has for the past week been the feature of local commercial circles. and is talked of more than the fluctuations in the cotton market. AS indicated here week ago the market was strong with an advancing tendency, and it looked then like further advances in store. This has come true the price rising abodt Sc since then: While the interest seems to have cooled slightly the market has lost none of it's strength, and If there are no further immediate advances pres ent prices are pretty sure to be maintained for awhile.
 The explanation of the buoyancy is ready one, being brought about by a small supply and good demand. Based upon such factors as these it may be seen what the boom rests upon, and the probability of it's not falling flat. at least until the demand lessens and the supply increases. Present indications point to a continuance of these conditions for some time to come. certainly the supply will not increase before the opening of the new season April 1. Some do not look for new stuff to come in before the middle of April.
 It is argued by buyers thai the present rse will encourage operators to cut many more boxes than they at first intended to. and that the coming crop will be more than equal to the demand. Factors say enough boxes can not now be cut to increase the crop very much not even if operators employ every labOrer to be had. In the first place it is reported that labor is scarce in the country. and in the next place operators have not the time to do the work. even though they work full force of laborers full time. From the factors stand- point therefore, the outlook is very favorable for operators.
 This is the season for the sale of May-August futures. Operators contract to furnish spirits for delivery during these four months Few contracts have yet been made, however A week ago 38c bid and buyers are eager for all they can get at 4oC, which is regarded as an acknowledgement on their part of a short crop the coming season On the Board of Trade the price today is 43c, win the demand good Receipts are very small and factors have scant offerings.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-The cotton market opened steady with January points higher and other months unchanged to 3 points low This showing quite satisfactory to the bull interests who were figuring on greater decline than occurred, in view of the poor response by Liverpool 10 cur advance of yesterday and owing to the big port move ment. Big lin sight estimates and bear ish statistic weekly statement from Liverpool helped to give the impression that much lower early market likely. Yet Wall Street buying orders and demand from some Of the more nervous shorts proved equal tn the offerings of the leading bears and the longs desiring profits.

The GRANGER BUSINESS SCHOOL.
Il Has Attained Pre- -eminence in its
Peculiar Field. 9

No school in Aberdeen, and Aber-.
deem is becoming renowned as city
Of schools, has done more satisfactory
work in its particular line than has
the Granger business school. 1t is
now in its third year and was origi-
nally a school Of stenography and
typewriting. A commercial depart
ment was later added to the school
and is now under the charge of Prof.
Ct. W. Prevey. The shorthand de-
artment is under the personal SUPER
vision Of e. e. Granger, for many
years official count reporter Of the
9TH judicial circuit. one OF the best
shorthand reporters in the northwest.
Mr.. Granger is assisted in his depart
sment by a. B. Walton who is deputy
court reporter of this judicial district.
The thirty-six students now enrolled
In this school are drawn from, a radius
Of $50 miles.
The leading characteristic OF this
school is its intensely practical nature
and that the system is a most success
full one iss vouched for by the fact
that over sixty graduates OF the school
are how holding first class positions
In Minnesota and the Dakotas.
