BETTER TONE APPARENT
GREATER SPECULATIVE ACTIVITY,
WITH PRICES SOME HIGHER.
COalers, Pacifcs, Changers, SOUTH
westerns and IndustriRls All Ben
efited-Greater Ease of Money.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-There was in
creased activity in the stock market and a
show of strength. but the dealings did not
rise much over half a million shares and
were largely congested in the few stocks
which were favorites in speculation. Pro-
fessional manipulation had not a little to
do with the advance in prices at some
points, and the movement was clearly di-
rected against the short interest which
had been accommodating during the down.
ward course OF prices this week. The re-
covery from a recent illness of a leading
operator, who is commonly credited with
the leadership of the protective forces of
the market on the bull side, was believed
to explain an important part of to-day's
transactions. The factors which accounted
for the rise were partly in the shape of
vague limitations and general aspirations
and general assertions, rather than of ex-
plicit Information. Thus statements were
circulated as to the phenomenal earnings
of the anthracite carriers, which were as
serted to reach Is and 20 per cent. for the
leading high-priced stocks. There was no
difficulty found in marking up these stocks,
and there was a heavy demand at the same
time for the lower-priced stocks in the
group-especially the Readings. There
were resulting advances in L~ackawann of
IL points, New Jersey Central, ex dividend,
ga, Reading 2s and other members of the
group / to 2 points. The movement was
extended in some measure by sympathy to
some of the soft coalers. There was con-
tinued strength in the Southwestern rail-
roads as a group, at advances of / to 3
points. This might be accounted for by re-
ports of much-needed rains in Texas. The
1nduStrlaIs, as a group, came forward into
rather greater prominence than Of late.
such conspicuous stocks as Sugar, Anal
gamated Copper, General Electric and the
local fractions showed gains of to 2
points. American Tobacco gained another
80 points to-day, selling at 235, with a later
bid at 245. This stock is e~Xchangeable at
par for 200 Of Consolidated Tobacco tours.
There is said to be less than 5 per cent. of
the stock still outstanding. Very glowing
accounts were put out of the rate Of ex-
pansion of tobacco business. American
Tobacco preferred gained 6, and the Com
active. Late in the day ST. Paul bid up
quickly nearly two points, and other
grangers and Pacifics hardened in sympa-
thy. This late movement was the effective
factor in keeping the closing firm, as a
waVering tendency had developed before
ST. Pauls rise. The bulls had in their
favor the prospect of a strong bank re-
turn tomorrow.
The railroad bond market was active and
Southwest being in particular favor. Total
sales at par value were s4,075, 900. United
States bonds were all unchanged on the
last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

TONE in GRAINS
WHEAT CLOSES WITH PRICES ONLY
4 SHADE LOWER.
Corn and Oats Establish Good Frac
Also Make Substantial Gains.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Renewed confidence
and a generally improved feeling charac-
terized the trade in grains to-day. From
the start grains and provisions showed
good support, even though the business
was quiet. May wheat closed a shade
lower, corn PC higher and oats 1c up. Pro-
visions had net gains of from sc to 17l2c.
Barring several active spurts. wheat
ruled quiet. especially in comparison with
the trying times Of the past few days. At
the start May had a steady tone on the in
fuence of improved cables and dry weather
reports. Opening prices were 1sc lower TO
sc higher at SO1sQS0asc. Foreigners were re-
ported buying literally in futures, but cash
business was scarce. After yesterdays ex-
element there was not much disposition to
take a stand one way or the other. Soon
after the opening the weather bureau pre-
dicted rain for some of the wheat States,
and prices at once slid off to 1850 for May.
Skeptical bulls, however, made just as quick
a turn and showed the price up again 10
SO@sc. Shorts also covered freely and COM
mission houses took advantage of low
prices. Rain talk and lower closing cables
pressed prices back to the low marx AGAIN,
but the support was sufficient TO BRING a
steady close for May, a shade lower at
SC1sqS0Ac. Local receipts were 70 cars one
of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth
reported Ala, a total of 439, against 59 last
week and 294 a year ago. Argentine snip
ment showed a heavy falling off-S6,VW pu
for the week against 64S,OO the CORE
spending week last year. Primary receipts
were 534, 200 bu against $4,000 a year ago.
Clearances in wheat and flour equaled a.
900 bu. The seaboard reported 80 loads
taken for export.
Corn in general found good support. The
opening was somewhat improved on ca
bles and the wheat influence. The cash
market also had improved. Early a rather
broad bull movement got under way,
tempted by the low prices. Local receipts,
too, were small enough to be bullish. on
the rain news for wheat, May corn sold,
back to CSC, but professional buying at once
sent il up agin to 64c. Toward the end OF
the session profit taking and the easier
feeling in wheat lost corn some OF It's
strength, but May closed firm, 12c higher,
at 63&c. Receipts were 90 cars.
Oats were firm and quiet, supported we'll
by professional traders. The early demand
was in July, but later the bulk of the trade
was for May. Prices fluctuated within a
range of nc. The better cash situation was
a leading influence. May closed firm, 12c
up, at 45hc. Receipts were Id cars.
Provisions had q dull but hrmer market.
There was q moderate demand to start
with, and the prices at the yards were bet
ter. Prices yielded a few points on the
grain says but local buying, especially for
ribs, brought a good advance all around.
May pork closed I112c higher, at $1I.O5, lard
at $S.65dS.671z.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
50 cars; corn, 20; oats, $50; hogs, 1900 head.
Lending futures ranged as follows:

PRIVATE WIRE ADVICES.

Meyer & Kiser's Telegram


NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE better senti-
ment which manifested itself yesterday
was again noticeable to-day, and at the
same time commission business was rather
more active and transactions were rather
more diversified. 1t appeared that the short
interest had been larger than was gen.
orally credited; consequently the steadiness
of the market and the buying by houses
with good connections resulted in driving
the bears to cover. At the opening Man
haitian had a sharp advance on a story pub
lshed that part of the new issue of New
York Central stock would be used for the
acquiring of control of Manhattan. The
story was not generally believed; conSe-
Quently trading in Manhattan fell off ma
terially after the first hour. The coal stocks
were more active and stronger than for
some days, D., l.. & w. leading the adj
vance. There is an impression in the street
ties Company is proved similar combi-
nations will be made, one of which will be
that of the coal stocks. During the after
noon the covering movement became more
pronounced and the buying by good com
mission houses also increased. This was
especially true of st. Paul, which had a
sharp advance, and was also noticeable in
Atchison and Union Pacific. An influence
on the bull side was the forecast in re-
gard TO to-morrow's bank statement. 1t
appears tina the banks have gained from
the interior and the subtreasury some
SS,O00,O0. That banks are in a better posi-
ton than a week ago was shown by the
market. Probably the bulk of call money
loaned to-day at 4 per cent. while during
the last two hours a good many loans were
made at Al.

KING EDWARDS COINAGE.
Millions of Gold Pieces About to BE
Issued.
London Daily Mail.


The delay In the Issue of the new coinage
has been a common topic OF conversation
during the last two or three days, for most
or the public expected TO obtain coins bear
day. >
Inquiry shows that there has really been
no delay Under a new regulation the issue
OF coinage in future will not depend on
dates and years. but on the actual necessity
for more coins.
In a few days. however. the mint will
send 70 the Bank of England. and the bank
will distribute throughout the country. some
millions worth of new sOvereigns and half
sovereigns. Closely following this issue viii
come the new copper coinage of King Ed
ward VII. Not for several months-prob-
eoly not until the eve of the coronation
Will there be an issue OF the silver coinage,
and this for the stated reason that there is
enough silver in circulation at present.
But IS there enough silver In the country
Ct the present time? That is not the cues
ton which the Bank or England has to con-
slider. As the supreme authority for tha
control and issue OF the coinage. the hank
only considers whether ii has a sufficient
stock OF silver in its safes 10 meet the ordi-
nary requirements OF the country's bust
ness. When this stock falls below a certain
~sum-which is not divulged-then more sill
yer Is coined at the mint and sent 10 the
bank. M
There is a considerable waste in silver as
well as In gold. II IL were not for this the
country would be soon Overstocked. But the
thousands OF banks throughout the country
are continually pouring into the Bank OF
England stores or gold and silver. The worn
or hght gold and silver coins are picked out
from those which are still negotiable and
are returned to the mint to be melted down.
and at some future date reissued In the
shape OF new coins.
When the silver is sent from the mint to
the bank 1t will be made up in bags OF e1OO
value and the copper I'm bags Of IS.
In the new gold coinage 10 be issued earlv
this month there Will be a number of the
60 and 20 pieces. but as these are regarded
at the bank as collectors coins" rather
than as currency. their number will be
strictly limited.
