STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 24.-The difficulty in
inducing prices to move still confront
ed the traders in stocks to-day, as 1t
has in increasing degree all through
the week The Venezuelan difficulty
still has a repressive influence upon
trading, and there was some DISPOSE
ton to couple the prompt signing OF
the Panama canal treaty with that
question.
Prices hardened, however, after the
opening because Of the announced de-
cision of the Washington authorities
that the German action in Venezuela
did not present subject for representa-
tions by this government. The weak
ness of Pennsylvania was the unset
thing influence, and led to an active
selling movement, which was only mo-
mentarily checked by the bank state
ment. The closing was easy and with
some quotations at the lowest The
selling of Pennsylvania seemed to be
due to the news of the borrowing Of
$40, 000, 900 by the company. The fact
that this loan for six months was ne
gotiated at Az per cent, compared with
5 per cent. and a liberal commission
paid by the Lake Shore for It's 10000
900 for the Reading purchase was
pointed to as evidence of a declining
tendency of money rates, but specula-
tive operators were inclined to gee in
It rather an evidence that floating sup
plies of capital are likely to be en-
crossed by continued large syndicate
operations, rather than to be left free
for stock market uses.
The moderate loan expansion by the
banks in view of the Pennsylvania loan
operation was an agreeable surprise to
the traders and prompted the recovery,
which gave away again at the last.
The dealings in bonds have not been
important. and prices have nuctuated

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Jan. "a.
The markets were without special in
terest to-day, closing in the main firm
with trading upon a fair scale in all
lines. Cotton was in fair demand at
the spot centers, and prices were we'll
maintained in view of the usual even
ing up of accounts at the weekend
The receipts were some ahead of last
year. the total for the day being $4,000
against $4,000 last year.
ITO satisfy the public mind in re-
gard to the ultimate result of the I'M
picked cotton remaining in the fields
of Mississippi, Arkansas and Louis
iana," say one house, 1--WE will state,
that this cotton will be picked, but not
until spring opens; the result will be
that all the acreage covered with this
unpicked cotton will either be replant-
ed at very late date, or put in corn,
or abandoned entirely. If it is all saw
ed, it will not affect the total yield as
much as 100000 bales
The demand for naval stores con-
tinues, with buyers paying full prices
for their holdings. Turpentine, it is
now apparent, will reach Coo, for if the
demand is not sufficient to take it
there the chances are that some en-
thusiastic buyer will come along and
pay the price just to witness the jump
to this figure. Resins are firm and in
demand. The wholesale markets closed
steady. Resume of the markets as fol-

Philadelphia, Pa, June 13.-what
looks on paper like the best ring event
seen hereabouts in a long time, is
scheduled for decision next Tuesday
night. The prospective contestants are
Jack O'Brien and kid" Carter, ac-
knowledged to be two of the foremost

til recently did the promoters succeed
In making satisfactory arrangements
in regard to weight and other details.
Under the articles of agreement the
men will weigh in at 1875 pounds, a
weight that suits O'Brden more than
the Brooklyn lad, who has had to re-
duce himself considerably in order to
meet that figure. Both appear to be
in the best condition, however, and able

MAKING "SToNE PIPES"

From the New York Commercial
How many smokers know where the
so-called "stone pipes"-the sort with
a clay bowl and long, gracefully
curved stem--are made The little viii
lage of Magadore, out In Ohio manu-
features fully five-sixths of them, and
the output goes in part to foreign
countries. The industry began there
only about twenty years ago, but
has thrived from the start. That was
on very small scale. and the indus
try is not what may be called a great"
one now; but this plant at Magadore
is the largest OF the sort In the United
States, giving employment to over fifty
men, women, boys and girls.
The hills adjoining the little village
furnish an abundance of q peculiar
kind of clay used in the manufacture
of the pipe. 1t is ground in a clay
mill until perfectly smooth, and then
submitted to a piece OF machinery,
which shapes the taffy-colored earth in
long, sausage-like rolls. which are cut
into two-inch-length bars, or wads, and
given to the men called "punchers,"

CUSTOM HOUSE AND CABBY.

What next impressed me was what
impresses all home coming Americans
the rightly of our custom house reg
ulations. This is an old story and not
worth retelling. But when you have
passed numerous custom houses and
crossed and recrossed many frontiers,
with nothing more than a wave OF the
hand from the customs officers and a
chalk mark on your unlocked trunks.
the ordeal at the New York dock rath-
err jars you. Uncle Sam first makes
you swear TO a declaration; then he
dstrusts your word; he plainly re-
fuses, to accept your atteStation; he
scrupulously turns inside out every
thing you have, from a Saratoga trunk
to hat-box. The officers are as
obliging as the regulations permit them
to be, but they abate no jot nor little
of the laws severity, lest they be dis
charged. AS / saw old ladies seated
forlornly amid heaps of trumpery
trinkents which they had bought
abroad-as saw the officers going and
fetching inspectors and other brass
bound fuctionaries-as l heard them
gravely arguing whether an inlaid steel
paper knife, worth about a dollar and
u man, SHOulu Oe CldSSSu as
work" or ''jewelry" | could not help
thinking that Uncle Sam more than
earns the paltry money he gets out of
such poor tourists by the work 1t takes
him to get 1t.
What next impressed me was the
high rate of cab fare as contrasted
with that abroad. When the rate per
mile in London is about sixpence, in
Paris about a franc, and in Rome.
Florence, or Naples less than Ira,
New York prices slightly stagger one.
Such was the experience of a Buffalo
man when he had to pay s217.69 on his
wife's new clothes. After he had I'M
