CELESTIAL NEW YEAR IS
OBSERVED IN TRI-CITIEs

The tri-city Chinese colony is cele-
brating the celestial new year. At l
o'clock this morning. the 2Sth year of
the reign of Kuang IIsu was ushered
in with quiet, but appropriate cere-
monies.
The celebration viii continue for n
week. During that period the almond
eyed sons of the Flowery Kingdom
will endeavor to cause duh care to
commit hari-kari. which is chaste
Chinese for suicide.
About midnight Thursday every
owner of a laundry posted small
slip of red paper with few. to the
American mind. at least, undecipher-
able hieroglyphics on il i'm black In
dia ink. TO the door frame. This pa
per is what is known as n welcome
sign" and translated il means center
and make yourself ut home"
On the Chinese new year every
Chinaman keeps open house. For
months previously he has been laying
i'm supply of good things well cal
culated to tickle the palate of
gourmaud. and these he is generally
willing to dispense with a free hand
and self-satisfied smile.
In New York, Chicago. San Fran
cisco and other large cities of the
United States. which boast large
colonies of Chinese, the advent of the
new year was heralded i'm an elabor-
ate style. Fire crackers galore were
discharged. ceremonies were held in
the joss house and sticks of burning
punk sent strange and unearthly
a L..
Before every shop were hung vari-
colored lanterns. II friendly beacon to
the Chinaman on his round of calls.
Bright coIored streamerS with count
less printed expressions appropriate
to the day decked the laundries and
other shops conducted by the people
from the land of tea and rice.
On new years every Chinaman
must pay his debts. That is one of
the unwritten laws that must be lived
up to regardless of conditions. Like
wise every man will have his poll
neatly shaved up 10 the roots of his
queue lock. and the nostrilS and ears
pluclled of hairs. Every stitch of
clothing donned on that day must
either be absolutely new or else as
clean as a lavish supply of soap and
hard rubbing can make it.
The motto of the Chinaman on new
years day * cleanliness is next to
goodness" aud whether il is mat
ter of religion or not, the fact re-
mains that all observe the custom
with scrupulous eXactneSs.
In China and in several cities in
this country the celebration of new
years continues for ten days or two
weeks. and during that time every
day is holiday. Here. however. the
few Cinnamon are busy i'm their laun-
dries and they do. therefore. not have
the time to spare to devote TO kick
ing up high iinks in honor of the oc-
casion.

Meyer q kiser's telegram
NEW YORK, July 1s.-The opening to-
day was again strong with excellent un-
dertone, which has been steadily grow
ing for the past few days. The broadening
tendency increases and will continue to do
so if the present advance can be sus-
tanned or carried further, and although
from time to time during the days session
profit taking to a considerable extent was
INDUCED in it was generally confined TO
the high-priced railway shares and pre-
sumably by the large interests, which are
taking this opportunity 10 realize under
cover of the decided strength in the lower
priced issues. Reports from Indianapolis
were confident in their expressions of be-
lief that there will be no sympathetic
strike, as President Mitchell is outspoken-
ly against such action and his plan to
assess the soft coal miners in place of
general strike appears to meet with the
approval of all the delegates. The Mod
ern Miller crop report is most encourag-
ing saying that weather conditions gener-
ally have been favorable for threshing and
marketing the winter wheat crop and also
for improving the G 9gaIity OF the gran
ing and the movement TO the accommodating
centers is almost up TO the normal for this
season of the year In Missouri and the
more Eastern States threshing returns are
above expectations
Money on time remains active and shows
no tendency to ease, while call loans con-
tinue at about the same figures. One OF
the features OF the known movements of
money this week is the return of part of the
currency that had previously been shipped
to the West, presumably incidental TO the
carrying out of the operations I'm the corn
market. The receipts of cash referred to
have returned from Chicago, Minneapolis
and St. Paul and are reported to have been

banks a substantial increase. The resump-
ton of speculation largely on the bull side
of the market this week may cause the
bank statement tomorrow TO show a large
increase I'm loans. though the general idea
in the street to-day is that the showing
is likely TO be not unfavorable.
