The news of severe cold in the winter wheat belt and renewal of war rumors entitled the market to an advance The moderation of the advance awakened the suspicion of the traders that the big speculative interests were unload ,ng, and slump in wheat resulted The same state of doubtful sentiment obtains in the stock market The lack or evidence of any large share In the buying by the outside public helps tc Keep the apprehensions of the profes- sionals awake. London made a sub- stantial demonstration of it's renewed fears of war by selling some 5O.O0( shares of stocks in New York. The question is raised whether the heavy accumulation of funds in New York may not be an indication of slackenine trade, which would not be favorable tc an advance in stocks. Precedent shows also that the return flow ot funds to New York is likely to come tc a stop by the end of January, while ths expansion of loans is likely to continue into February, and even into March with New York bank loans already if excess of any previous record by s15,. 100000.
 Weakness in the copper market, g 1 stock brokerage failure in Baltimore one or two minor banking embarrass. ments elsewhere and several reports oj oecreased net earnings of railroads fol December aggravated the downward tendency. Peoples Gas rose on the de cision by court in favor of it's conten ton against the city of Chicagos s righj to fix a 75-cent rate for gas.

THE REAL. MOTHER GOOSE

The myth of Mother Goose and her gravestone in the Granary Buryins Ground persists so obstinately that it was pious and needed service that Mrs. Arabella Sturat Austin per- formed last night for the true author of the immortal nursery rhymes on his death, in her paper for the club of Brooke House. As the lecturer said: People do not know all that they don't know, hence not realizing that it takes a rare genius to write fairy tales they have been wont to attribute Mother Goose stories to an old house. wife. whereas the real author a schol- ar of classic learning and renown, is Charles Perrault of Paris, one of the first members of the French Acade- my"
 There is no estimating the amount of fine moral culture conveyed to simple minds through his tales in the course of two centuries. The triumph of docility over tyranny. for instance, is no- where more forcibily illustrated than in "Cinderella,' that marvellous maid who with her kinsfoIk. has as many adopted countries as there are nations fin the universe. Let all this be granted. then the question is what is there of high art to be found in "Cinderella?" There is the flowing style, the native express ion and the interesting lesson that with Its pointed moral, fingers about 1t like the fragance of choice pressed flower. In perusing "Riquet With the Tuft.' D one is fascinated by the wit, logic and harmony of contrasts in this story of a beauty and a monster 'Cindere1la.' , the feminine, and "Riquet With the Tuft, the masculine type of the class of unfortunates, are only two out of a series of eleven of the seventeenth century publications of Perranit's fairy tales, and they still live, although their author died in 1703 just 200 years ago.

 The condensed statement of the Aetna Life Insurance company of Hartford, Conn.,. which appears in another column to-day. is a showing of growth and strength that must be especially grati- lying to policy holders of this sterling company, coming as it does after a year in which financial institutions have had many unusual conditions to contend against.
 n these days oe insurance progress one naturally looks to the leading in- surance company in New England, and to the largest company in the world is- suing life, endowment accident, health, and liability insurance for big results, but when one looks over the Aetna Life's record for 1908 the magnitude of the favorable results fairly astonishes him.
 The Aetna Life, which is now over half a century old, has developed into one of the famous companies of the country, and is 8 notable monument of the business and financial ability of the president, ex-Governor Morgan G Bulkeley. When he took the helm twen- ty-five years ago it had in round num- bers S26,o00000 of assets, and was carry ing about SIS, 100000 of life insurance To-day 1t has over ssS,OoOoO0 of assets and is carrying s226,Oo0,0OO of life insur- ance, to say nothing of over s20S, 1000, O0C of accident insurance, and immense lines of liability insurance. A very large and important part of this splend- i'd growth is due to the wonderful stride made in the accident and liability de- pertinent of it's business.
 These are the important facts about what the Eetna Life has been doing. It is not only matter simply of inter- est to its policy holders, pr to it's man agers, but to every citizen of the coun- try at large who seeks for the very best there is of insurance that really insures

Movement of Prtces Turned Backward
 aud shaved Net Losses.


 New York, Jan. 25.-The movement of prices turned backwards to-day and showed net losses on the days busi- ness. The weakness was not at any time acute and there was a period of positive strength after the opening. The reactionary tendency gained force as the day advanced, and the closing was weak and active. Many of the leading active stocks lost one to two points. These included St. Paul and United States Steel preferred These declines are by no means severe after so considerable an advance as has talk ef1 place, but the reaction was decisive and unmistakable. There was not much more news to accompany it than there had been on the advance, which had been admittedly due to the opera tiens on the long side including man ipulatiye tactics, of 8 powerful bull party.

TOKYO, Feb s.-The severance Of
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only a step
toward war, although when the minis
tiers Of Russia and Japan withdraw
from their respective posts quick and
decisive action is expected.
When Minister of Foreign Affairs
KOmura on Saturday notified Baron
de Rosen, the Russian minister, of ia
pans determination + sever diplomat
&c relations. he is reported to have de-
clared to him that Japan is tired of
Russia's delays, evasiOns and insincer-
ity and haa'decided to take independ-
ent action for the conservation of ia
pans oriental interests.
During the final negotiations Japan's
repeated requests for an answer were
treated in a most unsatisfactory man
ner. Japan waited until convinced that
it was useless to wait longer and has
now ended the discussion.
The indications are that there will be
no formal declaration of war Japan
will publicly dehpe her position and
purposes, and the foreign office has
prepared a new statement, which will
probably be announced at once. Today
Japan will unquestionably seize Korea,
and, although Russia has previously in
timated that it would not interfere in
view of that country's present atti-
tude, developments are eagerly await
