YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.

As Reviewed by the House of Prince &
 Whitely.
 New York, Jan. 22-Dear Sir. An optimistic sentiment as to maintenance |of peace caused advances in English consols, Japanese securitiessand an ac- tive demand for the international listed Americans.
 The opening of our market was at a |sIightly higher range of prices for the majority of stocks, the exception being Amalgamated Copper. which sold off fraetionally. In connection with this it is well to bear in mind that the demand for the raw product is very heavy and exports very large; in fact, it is esti- mated that the exports of copper for the current month will be the largest on record.
 Other developments offered no mate rial change Money was easy and be- ling offered plentifully. While the mar ket is broader there is as yet little in- SiCdSG III sCUliIilliSSlOAl liOuoco UuolACSo, and from the looks of things the market had to absorb considerable long stocks, which it took wonderfully well. Renewals of call loans were made at |2 per cent.
 Foreign exchange slightly steadier; |actual short sterling 486.10. Wheat sold off on realizing of longs. Exporters tell us they have no orders.
 Cotton continues strong and making new records. The public is chary to go in on present level of prices. The pro- fessional bull clique is undaunted in their prediction of still higher prices to come We begin to think that before Hong they will have the market all to themselves the same as last year.
 The heavy realizing of longs this morning made itself felt in the stock market during the closing hour; there was less buoyancy and prices were giv- len to recede, the reactions in many cases amounting to per cent from the days highest. The tone at the closing was reactionary.
 Total sales 1,043, 700

A WISE OLD FOX.

A correspondent in Country Life re- lates story of the cunning displayed bby a certain member of the Reynard family. He says: Tn common with other people who have looked after fox coverts. ! have often beer puzzled by the disappearance of well-known foxes, and have become convinced that the more intelligent foxes. after they have been before hounds several times, often turn their wits to account to avoid being hunted. In a small covert that ] know well there was always a fox. A fine big fellow he was. I have more than once met him, when taking an early ride, as he loped quietly home ward after his nights foraging. He never seemed to mind being seen When the season opened he gave us one or two capital runs, on the second occasion only just saving his brush scrambling into an unstopped drain in neighbor' S territory; after that he was never to be found when hounds came. Yet he was seen about as usual at other times. One day, when walking near the covert, one of the terriers, who knew all about foxes, took line to an old tree in the hedgerow and began to whimper and scratch at the roots. A careful exami- nation showed nothing. The tree was not difficult to climb it proved to have hollow trunk, and there, at the bottom was my friend curled up fast asleep His mask smiles on me as I write After a seven-irile point, and on a good scenting day he met his fate.

TWO ARE AsPHYxIATED.
Father, After Finding Son, Dies With
 Him.

Father, After Finding Son, Dies With | Him.
 | Joseph Arthur, fifty-five years old, of Easthampton, and his son, Thomas, a were found dead in bed yesterday morning at the boarding house kept by Mrs. McCartin, at No. 16 Christopher street. They were the victims of gas poisoning. It is assumed that the father left the stop cock in the gas jet wide open upon retiring about midnight Wednesday night, as he was the last of lthe two to go to bed Thomas Arthur was brakeman on lthe Northampton division of the New Haven road.
 l His father, who was quite well-to-do and was a fireman in a factory at Easthampton, came here Thursday with I the intention of bringing the young man back home.
 How the gas jet happened to be left open will never be known, but the two men went to their death without a struggle, for when found yesterday morning they were lying side by side in bed with the stamp of death hardly ap-' parent on their faces.
 Mrs. McCartin, the landlady, first noticed the small of gas when she arose ytesrday morning. She called her son, John, who went in the room, (which was filled with gas, and for fif- iteen minutes he shook the son and fa- ther in an effort to awaken them. Fail- ling to do this the police were notified land it was found that the men were dead. The medical examiner was noti- fled. He found that death was acci- dental.
 Mrs. Arthur was notified of the death of her husband and only child yester- day and she was prostrated by the af- fair. The bodies will be taken to East hampton for the funeral and burial.

SAYING THE BIRDS.

Owing to the deep frozen snow the hundreds of squirrels, quail and par tridges in East Rock park are depend ent upon the city park board for their sustenance. The board, since the last storm, has established charity de- partment under Park Superintendent Amrhyn's direction. Every two or three days bags of cracked corn, chest nuts, walnuts and millet seed are thrown upon the snowy blanket near where the little fellows bases of sup plies are located, and much to their de- light.
 The same kind care of the game birds and song birds which has been exercis- ed for years by our townsman E. Knight Sperry at the Sperry farm in Woodbridge has been prolific with splendid results. A Woodbridge man, who during the past week has visited the scene of the rack and larder pro- vided by MT. Sperry, was astonished at the numbers of birds that were con- gregated there when he arrived in in specting distance of the happy scene. There were birds of high and low de- gree assembled at the rack. feeding away merrily and as if they were hum gry, and rejoiced, too. No doubt MT. Sperry's thoughtful and kind provision for the birds has saved hundreds of them from death by starvation. This must be a consoling thought to Mir. Sperry, who has been unable for sew eral weeks past to get out of doors, owing to his having had to submit to a surgical operation of a somewhat minor character, which has prevented him from taking a ride behind his fine horses out to the old Sperry homestead. The operation was performed by pr. Verdi, assisted by Dr. Hartshorn, and with such good results that MT. Sperry expects to be greatly relieved. Mean while the birds, unaware that their benefactor has been laid up at his home, have gone on right along enjoy ing his bounty with manifestations of sincere thankfulness.

A BRIDES PEACE OF SOUL.
A Novelist's Analysis of a Woman Just
 After the Honeymoon.

A Novelist's Analysis of a Woman Just
 Alter the Honeymoon.
 The basis of newly married woman S peace of soul is trust. She feels that the responsibility is on her husband to make good the manly qualities with which she has endowed him. and be- cause of which she has consented to be- come his mate. Occasionally during the first few months of her married life Constance laughed to think that all her maidenly eagerness to solve the rid dle of life brilliantly, and all her pro- found searching of the mysteries of the universe should have ended in her be- coming an everyday housewife with dustpan and brush and the wife of one who, to all outward appearance, was an everyday young man. But her laugh savored of gladness. She had given herself to him because she had faith that his energy, self-reliance, fearless humor and sympathetic hatred of shams would distinguish him presently from the common herd of men, and vindicate her infatuation. She had giv- en herself to him, besides, because he loved her--a delightful consciousness. Accordingly, she enclosed herself in the web of happiness which her confidence in him had spun about her, and took up her domestic duties with light hearted devotion.
 Nevertheless, no woman emerges from her honeymoon with exactly the same estimate os her lover as before. If nothing else, she has seen his mental and moral characteristics, in their un- dress, so to speak, and become habitu- ated to their sublimity. We may be no less fond of a person whose anecdotes have grown familiar to us, and analo- gously wife does not weary of her husbands qualities merely because they have lost the glamour of novelty. On the contrary she is apt to continue to adore them because they are his. Still she feels free to scrutinize them closely and --unconsciously at least-to submit them to the test of her own silent judg ment. She discovers, too, of course, that he has sides and idiosyncrasies the existence of which she never suspected. Ordinarily she finds to her surprise that his attitude in regard to this or that matter has shifted perceptibly since marriage, so that, instead of being luke warm or ardent, as the case may be, he has become almost strenuous CT indif- ferent in his attitude. Hence she di- vines that during their courtship some of his real opinions and tendencies have been kept in retreat.-Robert Grant in "The Undercurrent" in Scribner's.
