THE MARKET DOES
A LIT TIE BET TER.
The Money Rate Was Lower and
London Was a Purchaser.
PRICES BEST AT THE CLOSE.
Dealers Seem to Think That the Strike
Will Not Last Long, but There
is Much Bearish
PRICES BEST AT THE. CLOSE

The stock market yesterday was with
out special feature. but it was stronger
than had been expected, and was strong
est towards the close.
prices were almost uniformly above our
closings. Nevertheless. London did nor
buy as heavily as it did yesterday. Eor-
eign purchases were most pronounced IN
Union Pacific. in regard to which stock
news seemed to be decidedly bulllsh.
More interest than usual was taken IN
money, and while early loans We're made
at s per cent, there was some tendency
to sell stocks. This. however, proved to be
the highest rate for the day, and during
the afternoon loans were made as low
as per cent. Bulk Of the borrowing was
made at 6 per cent. Contrary to expec--
tation the exchange market did not
strengthen with the decline in rates.
the explanation being that London has
been a considerable buyer of stocks dur
ing the last few days and that bills have
been drawn against these purchases and
have tended to lower the rate OF eX-
THE READING ISSUES.
In spite of the threatened strike Read
ing was strong. 1t sord off in the early
wore on and closed strong =, Chesapeake
and Ohio and Norfolk and Western were err,
strike would not be of long duration, as
the miners are getting better wages than
they have for years received, and the
operators do not seem to care whether
Southern Railway showed 6. disposition
to, go higher. and the closing bid was 81.
whereas the last recorded sale here was
at 1913 The preferred sold down to 9t5s,
but rallied to 95ls. where it closed. Louis
Vile and Nashville. Chemical. American
Cotton Oil and Wabash debenture BIS
were all better than on the previous day.
There was one sale in Baltimore Of Coast
Line of Connecticut at $50.
RAILROAD EARNINGS.
Railroad earnings continue to show up
= no frcf In low
peake and OHIO gained S., 1873; Southern
Railway. S5s,7l2. and Central Of Georgia,
$40, 760.
BEARISH TALK
The talk generally is bearisf. A Wall
Street firm says: During the last hour
prices rallied and the rket was firm to
the close. There is nothing to bear out
higher prices prevailing. but on the other
hand conservative commission houses
continue to be strongly Of the opinion
that the main factor of the situation
for some time to come will be the money
market and that anything like easier
money is extremely improbable.

SHOPS NOW.
Sunday Observance League Will Prob
ably Take Further Steps.

Tie Sunday Observance League will
in all probability now take steps toward
securing the closing OF the confectionery
Shoes aud soda fountains of Richmond.
The case here will probably be more
difficult than in the instance of the
saloon, but members of the league are
confident that it can be done. if the
proper steps are taken.
When seen this morning the Rev. w.
S. Campbell, secretary of the league, de-
clined to state whether or not the or
sanization would at once take steps
against the confectionery shops, but
from the tone of his remarks 1t is judged
that something like this will develop
within the very near future.
Mr. Campbell said that though he had
to admit that the saloons We're pretty
tight Sunday, the confectioners dd a
thriving business. These places, he said
were more active than ever before Some
of them had their doors stretched wide
rI;en boidness wllicE they had not

Milwaukee. Wis, Feb. 1.-THE ar
tistic value of the painting Of Miss Jes-
sic Schley has become, a much dis
cussed subject in this city within the
last few days. Miss Schley is a sec
Ond cousin of Rear Admiral Schley and
has been known as a painter here for
years. She has lived a lifetime in
Milwaukee, and for years was much
concerned in charitable work. Then
she studied art abroad and many of
her paintings have been shown in
Paris.
Her controversy with the milwaukee,
Society of Artists came about through
charges preferred by her of favoritism
IN the choice of the work Of Milwau-
kee artists shown at the present eXhi-
bition of the Chicago Art institute.
None of her pictures were chosen for
that exhibition. The male members
of the society resented her charges,
and a motion that Miss Schley be ex-
PEELED from the society is to be voted
upon at a special meeting called for
Tuesday next.

PATIENT OUT OF DANGER
Doctors Consider the Crisis sed-Pr
dent to Leave His Boy and Return
to Washington.

GrOtOn, Mass, Feb. 14.-YOung The
odore Roosevelt passed a good night
and his condition was such that it was
announced that the president would
leave for Washington in the afternoon.
The crisis Of the disease in the right
lung has been passed successfully, the
left lung has cleared to the satiSfac-
ton of the doctors and the boy is now
considered out of danger.
Secretary Cortelyou gave out the in
formation concerning the patient with
the additional statement hat the lad
had passed one of the quietest nights
since he was taken i'll and that, under
careful nursing, recovery, while it
probably would be slow, was consid-
cred practically sure.
President Roosevelt went earlier
than usual to visit his son and to bring
back his wife to breakfast. For the
first time since his arrival the presi-
dent talked with the newspaper men,
while they were securing the report Of
his sons condition. He was very COR
dia and spoke with delight Of the ia
vorable condition of his boy.
At II o'clock Secretary COrtelyou
came to press headquarters with the
information that the condition of the
presidents son was excellent and that
President Roosevelt was planning to
leave for Washington at about 4:3O in
the afternoon.

Oshkosh. Wis, Feb. 14.-Rev. Nor
ION G. Andrews, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal church, has called for a
committee of investigation of certain
charges that he says are being made
against him by his enemies. Pending
the result of the Investigation he asked
the bishop to place a substitute in his
pulpit. The charges are that he has
associated with lewd women, that he
is heavily in debt and that he has
sustained improper relations with a
woman of his congregation.
All the charges ave the first Mr..
Andrews denies. He admits that he
has mingled with lewd women, but
maintains that it was in his character
as a clergyman. st. Paul's is the only
''hieh' Episcopal church in the city
and it and it's pastor have been espe-
cially favored by Bishop Grafton. The
administration of affairs at the church
has been the subject Of gossip for
wears.
