TOPEKA SHOULD HELP.
Subscriptions for Y. N. C. A.
Are Slow.

Several weeks ago President E P.
Ripley of the Santa Fe made a pledge
that the Santa Fe company would give
to the Topeka railroad Y. NJ c. A the
sum of 1000, provided half that
amount could be raised among the peo-
pie of this locality. General Secretary
Prout and Conductor Richard Wilson
and others have been actively engaged
in canvassing the people of Topeka
since that time and have secured al
ready more than half the sum.
The Santa Re shopmen alone went
down in their pockets and promised to
give nearly 81, 500. The canvass of them
has been practically completed and
since then the work has been continued
among the business men of the city,
with results that are very gratifying.
In the current number of the Santa.
E'e' the organ of the association are
presented the claims of the organization
to support in the undertaking among
the citizens of the community Cuts of
leading association buildings all over
the country are presented with the
cost Of each, showing just how much
can be done IN case the required amount
can be raised. Since the canvass of the
shopmen has been completed the
friends of the enterprise are Sanguine
of success in their undertaking, believ-
ing that they should be supported by
the townspeople who derive so much
from the railroad men of Topeka The
building when erected will be of value
to the town in many ways, serving not
only as place where the association
can carry on unhampered its work. but
likewise accomplishing indirect results
that will benefit the town in ways that
cannot be given in figures The COM

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-During the greater
part of to-day's session business was at
standstill, very large proportion OF the
transactions being between traders. There
was a fairly steady undertone, more espe-
cially to Sugar. which enjoyed sharp ad-
vance on the purchase of some 5000 shares
by leading commission house. There was
renewed liquidation in Metropolitan owing
to the absence of any definite news to &C
count for the recent decline. Amalgamated

clined to sell off. One house sold 5000
shares, but subsequently took them back.
Although the advance in Copper stocks
abroad indicates that more harmonious re-
lations may be established in the near
future between the leading copper inter-
ests, at the moment sales of copper are be-
ing made inc large quantities at very low
figures, and there seems to be absolutely
no endeavor to maintain prices The bank
statement made an excellent showing, the
surplus reserve being not over SIS, 800, 000
The gain in cash was about So, 600, which
was larger than expected, but the excellent
showing made no impression on the mar
ket. In fact liquidation ensued through
out the whole list, and the market finally
closed heavy at about the lowest figures

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Amalgamated
Copper was the feature at the start, ad-
vancing in a small way, while a sagging
tendency developed through the balance of
the market. declines being general in the
rails and coalers. Sugar made a good re-
covery. while selling appeared in Copper,
with steels declining fractionally. Coalers
were weak and under pressure, Readings
and Fries being freely sold, while the
Western rails met with professional SELL
ing. Heavy snow in the West and South
west has placed a Quietus on winter wheat
damage reports, but buying orders in the
Western rails were very scarce. In fact,
the selling movement was increased after
the publication of the bank statement, the
market presenting a heavy appearance.
Towards the close there were a few small
sized rallies due to shorts covering, but
professional sentiment was bearish, with
lower values predicted for Monday by that
element.
