 Spotty.
 New York, Jan 20.--There was fair degTee of activity maintained in to- days stock market and some show of strength, but the strength was fitful and spotty, and the market was view ed with some degree of suspicion by a large element of the traders on the floor. The upward tendency of prices met with some positive obstacles, and the character of some of the devices used to stimulate an upward movement aroused scepticism and had an unfa- vorable effect on sentiment, contrary to their purposes.
 In spite of the higher range of prices sent over from London this morning and a much more cheerful view of the chances of peace from there, concrete fly expressed in a decline in the rate of war risks for marine insurance, there was free London selling in New York. which proved troublesome to absorb. This seems to have been due to a re- newal of a war scare in London after our market opened. It affected wheat

as well, but did not interrupt the pro- cess of new high record 4haking in the cotton market After tzie decisive re- action from this cause prices picked up again when 1t became known that Northern Securities had been lifted over points in the curb market on the circulation of confidential tip that the decision of the supreme court in the Northern Securities had already been made, that it was not altogether unfavorable to the corporation, that it would be handed down next Monday, and that there had been a .leak'' by which this important information had become known to the tipster. North. ern Securities lost Ealf its gain, and the total transactions in the stock in the narrow curb market did not exceed a few thousand shares.
 But the incident had considerable in- fluence in the stock exchange. Union Pacific, which would be most directly affected of any of the stocks now prom inently traded in, was held back by the persistent realizing that kept weight as well upon number of other
 
 ence seemed to pass over to his subsid- iary stock, Southern Pacific. There was no other explanation of the active speculation in that stock, which carried it 11A points over last night. A previ- ous buying movement had carried Mis- souri Pacific a point over last night. The only other stock of first-rate i'm pcrtance which gained point was St. Paul.
 In contrast with this was the persist ent selling pressure on Rock Island and Amalgamated Copper, which carried
 them point under last night Penn sylvania, Union Pacific, Atchison and United States Steel preferred, while not
 forced far below last night, were with
 held from any advance by the same persistent selling. The Fries were also sold on the supposition that there would be no buying to secure control following the dissolution of the voting trust, as was atone time believed. The | local fractions were reactionary when l it. became known that yesterdays ad- vances were based on the trip of in- spection over the new subway line of
 an invited party of influential capital ists. United States Realty preferred was marked up. on very large dealings, 4 points without explanation. The late movement in Southern Pacific had q hardening effect on the market, but the closing was irregular and below the hest.
 The Northern Securities rumor af- fected the Burlington joint fours and | the Oregon Short Line participating fours. The United States Steel second lives and the Rock Island bonds large ly overshadowed the whole bond mar yet One or two of the speculative is sues showed the effect of profit-taking, | but the tone generally was firm.

CARRIED DOWN WITH LOGS.
LUMBER CRUISER HURLED INTO
RIVER AND SERIOUSLY IN
JURED RESCUED BY COM
PANIONS.

The breaking of the stakes holding
the logs on the trans at the Scanlon-
Gipson Lumber company s mill at
Twenty fourth avenue n and the river
this forenoon, sent the logs rumbling
down the skid and splashing into the
water. Beneath these logs was Joshua
Blakely, cruiser, who was superin-
tending the loading Of the logs from
the river onto the trans.
The break came without moment S
warming. Blakely had turned his back
to the mill and was directing the rescue
Of another bunch Of logs from the river
when the roar of the falling logs from
above came to his ears. He knew in an
instant what had happened but it was
too late for him to get out of he way.
The log struck him, for he was right
in their path, and showed him on under
them into the stream. There, seri-
ously injured and held down by the
logs, he could not swim, and had it
not been for his companions, who
beheld the accident, he would have
gone to the bottom. They plunged in
and pulled him out. He had leg
and an arm broken and had received
internal injuries. He was taken to
st. Barnabas hospital.

Washington, Sept. General Chat
fee, chief of staff, has begun the prep
aration of estimates for the construc-
ton of barracks and quarters at mill

visited all posts, he is familiar with
the requirements at all these posts.
1t is probable that General Chafee

RIVER PEARLS
HIGH IN PRICE.
GREATER DEMAND AND SMALLER
SUPPLY ARE THE REASONS.
Europe Takes to Pearl Made by the
mississippi River Clam and the Clam
Beds Are Sadly Depleted.
The prices of Mississippi river pearls

The prices of Mississippi river pearls
are soaring.
Dealers who handle them say the. rise
is permanent-in fact, prices are liable
to keep right on climbing. This is due
to two causes: the increase in, the de-
mand, and the decrease, in supply The
increase in demand is due to the grow
ing popularity Of the American pearl
in foreign countries. The pearl best
known in foreign lands is noted for it's
| evenness in color, and the ease with
which the pearls may be matched.
American inland pearls are becoming
rareness of coloring and the great diff
Guilty in matching them.
The decrease in the production is due
to the fact that many. of the clam beds
Of the Mississippi and other rivers are
sands Of tons Of CLANS have been taken
from the river bottoms, without regard
| to their propagation.
And so those who make a business Of
buying pearls from clam fishermen, are
today paying 81 an ounce for baroques
formations) for which two years ago
but so cents was paid; and which
used to throw in'' to the man who
purchased the better pearls.
The finer grades Of Mississippi pearls
i command Sulll greater. increase LII
price than the baroques.
i "Here is pearl for which l paid a
Mississippi river clam fisherman $26, a
:. dozen years ago. said Minneapolis

an inch in diameter. 81 would be, glao
to pay any man 800 today to dupli
, cate that pearl.'' = as.
The increasing scarcity of pearls has
made many pearl hunters seek. new
fields, and some Of them are having
more success hunting pearls at the out
lets of northern Minnesota lakes, where
are found immense clam beds.

SAVING MADE EASY
The Saving Habit Is Easily Acquired
When the Environments are Favora-

U1Ss
No business enterprise is entitled to
greater moral support than the one that
encourages and promotes the Saving
habit; What can be accomplished in this
direction by a little effort is being
demonstrated by the State Institution
for Savings, 517 First avenue S, which
recently placed two thousand Of its lit
tie steel savings banks in that many
homes in the city and as a result is now
placing on it's books from two to three
hundred new savings accounts every
month, and these patrons are accumu.
lating goodly sums of money that would
never have been saved otherwise. The
institution is entitled to much credit
for it's aggressive methods and is to be
congratulated upon it's success. The
benefits Of it's plan is within the reach
Of all, as one dollar starts an account
and secures a bank. Every, person am
bilious to- get ahead, =. should procure
one, for it is remarkable how much will
be saved every month by having one Of
them around. r.. ~. x.v -. ?
