MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of tho Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 3.--The bull movement
in stocks continued in force during the
early stages of today's stock market, but
the precipitate course of the advance
overran the market and reaction followed
which carried the average level of prices
below last night. The closing was easy
and with recovery. During the morning
there was more appearance of animation
and variety in the dealings than at any
time heretofore. Stocks of all classes
were transferred in enormous blocks and
to realize were manifest in Brooklyn
Transit which was a conspicuous figure
in last weeks advance. Amalgamated
Copper Jared better. adding a point to
yesterdays five point rise before it was
seriously affected by realizing. 1t dropped
back rs and closed at a net loss OF IA.
United States Steel preferred failed 70
hold its ~. point advance. Reports Of
difficulties made by employees over pro-
closing down of important mills affected
this stock. 1t became known, this morn
ing. that gold was taken to London. yes.
tcrday. for account of Chicago and New
Orleans to the extent of three-quarterS OF
a million dollars and additional enga ge-
mentS were made. today, of $,00,OOp. The
renewal rates for call loans were gener-
ally marked down, this morning. Late In
the day, the rate for call loans was bid
up TO per cent. The optimistic view of
business and finances of the country TAX
a cheering influence. Business In bonds
was principally in speculative issues in
which the price movement was irregular.
Total sales par value, were $4535. 600.
United States bonds were unchanged on
the last call.

we find that labor was deprived in one
year alone of the enormous sum Of
SOo.0Oo.0oO. And we may be well as
sured that a comparison of the total
earnings of labor in 1896 and 1902 would
show an increase of nearly 100 per cent
in the amount earned by toll in the lat
ter year.
The real problem before labor, there
fore, is to maintain the conditions un-
der which work is plenty. The rate of
wages. as we have said, is of little in
terest to the man who has no job. And
here we find the greatest evil of the
strike craze, for every strike tends to
reduce the productive energy of the
country by disorganizing commercial
and industrial conditions. upsetting the
markets. and reducing the consuming
capacity Of the country. Labor is not
possessed of the power to turn bad
times into good. But labor can trans
form prosperity into adversely in the
twinkling Of an eye when it feels SO
disposed.

In the southern cotton belt they are
getting very much worried over the
boil weevil, a pest which has done great
damage to this years crop in Texas
Thus far it's ravages have been confined
to that state, but it seems sure to
spread and the planters can find nc
means Of stopping it and no remedy for
1t when it appears. The feeling III
Louisiana is SO strong that a special
session of the Legislature has been
called though nobody knows what good
it can do, unless possibly the bringing
of Texas cotton into Louisiana is for
hidden. The government scientists ara
graphing with the problem, but this far
in vain.

The Manchurian war cloud alter
nately drops below the horizon and bobs
above it. In the meantime there is rio
great doubt that Russia is keeping busy
along the lire of aggression that it has
followed, slowly and consistently,
for generation after generation. Pro-
badly Russia is not anxious for a war
with Japan, but whether the outcome
be war or peace it has no idea Of turn
ing aside from the course it has mapped
out. The man that walks like a bear
isn't fooling many people in these times
but he keeps on walking, and his path
has no turning.

might mean the upsetting OF many

prince is young man Of q who has
been well brought up and who has

is far from being versed in the business
Of running great empire. He needs
many years of preparation before he is
fitted to succeed his father and Germany
can hardly afford to have an amateur on
the throne. even though he be popular
and well behaved. One weakness of the
young prince is the susceptibility to
feminine charms and not long ago he
wanted, to renounce the throne and
marry an American girl whom. he had
met. Stf!l, on this side Of the water,
such a.. desire will not be counted
