Eighteen-year-o old Frank Lewis, ar

Belle Wilson believes that if she had
not flown in the face of time-honored
superstition by decorating her boudoir
at 43 Bacon place with peacock feath-
ers, emblematic Of bad luck, her jaw
would not have been broken by the
g-of-mutton fist of William F.
French. Confrmatory of Miss Wilson'S s
belief, she asserted, was the fact that
the mirror over which the feathers
dropped was the first article smashed
by Mr.. French in his berserker demo1i-
ton of the furniture and every one
knows that the breaking of a mirror
is inevitably followed by some direful
calamity to the owner thereof. For
these reasons Miss Wilson was not in
clined to prosecute French with the
vigor that she surely would have dis
played if her jaw had been fractured
under ordinary circumstances. Judge
Mogan continued the case until he can
consult DIR" Samuel Waits. an adept
in such things, as to the mitigatory
value Of the peacock feathers to the
defendant.

POLICE COURT NOTES

Walter Lux, who alleges he is a son
of the cattle king, is before
Judge Conlan on the charge of
stealing a purse containing $43 from AL
gernon T. Graham of 131 Montgomery
street. The alleged robbery took place
in a Sutter street lodging house, and
the two men afterward went together
to a saloon, where Graham summoned
a policeman and made his accusation.
In one of Lux's pockets was found S5S,
but no purse.

Judge Conlan adjudicated the Rob
inson-Day dog case by awarding pos
session of the pug to Day on condi-
ton that he give to Mrs. Robinson the
sum Of SO. the price paid by her for
the animal to the pound-master. That
official had his books in court to prove
that the capture, detention and re-
lease of the dog was legitimate and he
drew a gasp of surprise from the bench
by declaring that he never reads the
newspaper advertisements of dogs lost
and shows no discrimination in his
treatment of the CANNES netted by his
deputies.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 21.-The influences
which have been gathering force for some
time in the stock market caused an out
burst OF activity and strength today
which carried the whole market to
higher level and routed large and OBJ
stinate short interest. The rush to cover
of the shorts was an important influence
in carrying some of the most active
stocks upwards and the spectators who
were long of these stocks were about to
take their profits at the expense OF their
bearish brethren. The movement was
without any important news development
beyond those that have been under dis
cussIon for several days. There was a
tendency towards capitalization OF the be-
lief that war between Russian and Japan
Is likely to be averted for the present.
The growing volume of the demand for
bonds had made an impression upon the
speculative minds as a usual precursor
OF an improvement in the buying of
stocks, and the continued heavy accumu-
lation of money at this center adds to the
belief that the demand for bonds is likely

to extend to the stock list Yesterday
and today the bull campaign appeared
under such auspices as to impress the ua
covered bears with the fear that its prog
ress might extend beyond their means to
oppose it. The covering demand was
very heavy from various outside points.
The leadership in the market operations
was rather clearly traceable to several
sources which have been imposing in
fluences in great market movements OF
the last few years, and the prestige OF
this leadership helped to demoraize the
bears There was enormous profit-tak
ing throughout the day, at first in stocks
which have led the primary advance be
fore today. These included Southern Pa
cific, Rock Island, Reading, the Fries
Amalgamated Copper and United States

these Iaggards were brought into the
movement, the profit-taking shifted to
stocks, which had advanced in the early
part of the day. Speculative hopes were
expresse ed of large diversion of profits
Of cotton speculation into stocks, and the

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.


New Orleans, Jan. 21.-The spot cotton
market was less active than it has been
for several days. The weather was cloudy
and dark, condition that interfered ma
terially with the Inspection of samples.
Buyers, however, were but slightly check
ed by the unfavorable weather conditions
the disposition apparently being to take
everything offered at board prices Sales
1880 bales, including 500 to arrive and
1900 (. o. b.. delivered on contract zoe.
Quotations advanced 1-S.
Before the opening of the future mar
ket this morning many conservative oper-
ators expressed the opinion that the ting
for a wide reaction had arrived but to
their disappointment the hand OF hore
held out by the lower opening prov I'd
treacherous: stimulated by aggressive bid
ding on the part Of prominent bulls,
prices gradually moved up throughout the
session, smashing all previous high rec
ords. The bull features were peace ru-
mors from St. Petersburg. an advance OF
SIC in consols and is In silver. and the
heavy takings by English spinrcrs. Soon
after the call prominent bulls offered to
take all May offered at ''the nlarlet.' .
Purchases were large and prices showed
a ready response to the buying. The
bulls say that the present advance VIII
continue with only slight recessions. There
Is no weak outside long interest in the
market. To all appearances the market
hquidates itself as it goes along More
conservatism in operating prevails and
there is an absence of the reckless buying
that caused such landslide in prices
during the latter part of December At
the same time many brokers point out
that there would be danger in the at.
tempt of weak longs to operate at such
high levels. The market closd vry- firm
and within point or two of the highest
figures OF the day. Net gains were "a to
26 points except February when gained
but 16 points.
