YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
Another Day of Aotive and yarted
 Trading.


 | New York. Jan 22-Another day of active and varied trading in stocks marked the progress of the speculative campaign taken up in the last few l days. The manner in which enormous blocks of stocks in thousands of shares were hurled from one portion of the market to another was sufficient evil dence that the leadership of the mar ket was in daring and powerful hands. About the only news from stock mar ket standpoint wasmade up of the sur- nlises as to the personality of the new | ly active speculative party and the identity of their operations whether on l the buying or the selling side. Some of the selling was openly done in the interest of the principals in the leader ship while their brokers were also buy ing at other points with ostentation and verification. The usual difficulty in tracing skilfully conducted speculative operations was therefore felt in pres- ent anxious board room traders who sought to follow the movements of the larger operators. The popular suppo- sition was that the nominally active party in the stock market included speculative elements that have been prominent in cotton and in grain dur ing the recent activity in those mar kets and that something like a pool had been arranged by which these va rious elements weer acting in concert to lift the prices of stocks to their own profit. The trading presented all the characteristics of the periods of activ- ity of speculation. The buying and bid ding up of prices was skilfully shifted from one to another quarter calculated to affect opinion on the market as a whole and trading at other points was coincidently carried on in the realizing of profits. Late in the day the reac- tionary tendency became fairly general under the weight of the selling to real ize and the level of prices receded ma terially from the highest. The late selling was somewhat aggravated by the report of banking failure in Cleveland the downward tendency was not very effectually arrested before the close, which was unsteady.

Why They Failed.

Exactly 81 per cent. Of the merchants
who failed in 1903 did not advertise in
the newspapers, according to Brad
streets. And it is altogether possible
that the other 16 per cent. did not ad-
vertise in the right paper. It is the
height of folly to try to do business
without advertising, and it is almost as
foolish to buy advertising space in a
newspaper without taking into consid-
Grafton both the quantity and quality
OF the papers circulation.-New Or

The Minneapolis Times remarks:
Somebody made a curious statement
the other day with regard to the re-
form of middla-aged criminals. He
said that the reason for these reforms
was not upon any moral grounds, but
merely because the men had come
to sec by that time that literally the
way Of the transgressor IS hard, and
briefly that crime does not pay. There
Is probably a good deal in this re-
mark. No lesson is so powerful as
the lesson Of inevitable results. The
harvest Is not worth the outlay, and
often when q criminal finds this out
he reforms"
