NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The specula-
tive temper on the stock exchange
changed today from the heavy tone of
yesterday and there was a resumption
of confidence in higher prices, accord
ing to the evidence of the predomin-
ance of buying over selling in the
market.
Dealings were of about the same
dimensions as yesterday and were still
obviously of professional character
to a large extent. Very large opera
tions were easily traceabe to the ac-
tivity or organized parties of profess
sional traders and their operations
were largely concentrated in a few
prominent stocks. Specific news was
not assigned for the motive of the
movement, general conditions teing
relied upon to warrant the advance.
Regarded as a testing operation yes
terday's short sales and the slight effect
which they produced in driving down
prices or bringing out offerings of long
STOCK were as influential factors in to-
days market as anything else.
Attention was largely concentrated
on Reading, on which the professional
operations centered. The spread of the
influence of the Reading movement was
not rapid and some of the leading
stocks on the list were sluggish and
lieSlcCleu a Sleelcl part VI
the day. The Southwestern stocks did
well, and the Pacifics came late into
the movement in spite of very moder-
ate improvements in December net
earnings disclosd by the Hartman
lines Southern Pacific actually falling
below the December level of the pre-
ceding year. The same was true of
st. Paul. Pnnsylvania's strong show
ing of December earnings helped the
stock market in the early dealings.
The placidity of the money market
drove the consideration of gold export
movement into the background, al
though there is every prospect of it's
extension.
All the great foreign banks published
their weekly reports today. The flow
of gold to Paris has resulted in only a
small increase in the gold supply of
the bank of France for the week and
that institution is making no effort at
retrenchment, Notwithstanding the
eager demand for gold in France. The
Bank of England showed a consider
able increase in it's proportion of re-
serves to liabilities, but discounts hard
ened in London and sterling rose at
Paris.
There was practically no yielding in
the sterling rate in this market. The
slightly irregular tone of stocks at
the closing was due to light profit TAX
ing on the days advances.
Bonds were firm. Total sales $6.S75, -
OOO.'
United States bonds were all un-
changed on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Decrease In Receipts Gives Strong
Tone to Wheat and Corn

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. "A decrease
Of receipts as a result of
extreme cold weather in the
west and northwest had a
strengthening effect on the wheat mar
ket here today. From the start these
conditions had restraining influence
on sellers. In consequence sentiment
was not so bearish as might have been
expected. considering the weakness of
the Liverpool market. May opened at
$1.16, but prices made a general ad-
vance in response to n fair demand
from pit traders and commission
houses. Advlces from the northwest
were of bullish tenor, a good demand
for cash wheat being reported from
Minneapolis. Flour sales a Minne-
apolis were also said to show a de-
cided improvement. A reduction in
freight rates taking effect February 1
was given as one explanation for in
creased shipments of flour today in
the northwest. The wheat market as
result assumed stronger tone as
the session progressed. While there
was apparently some good selling at
times, the demand throughout the day
was of an influential character, offer
ings being readily absorbed. For May
the highest point of the session was
reached at S1.17 The market closed
almost at the top, final quotations for
May being at $1.16%.
Corn prices also felt the stimulating
influence of the severe cold weather.
May closed at the top, 44%c. Cover
ing by many traders who sold short
caused f1rmness in the oats market.
May closed Ac up, at 303sc.
A much smaller increase in contract
stocks than had been expected created
some bullishness in the provisions mar
ket. At the close May pork was up
INC, lard was shade higher and ribs
were up &c.

vlsing you that in the plans for

amount of money which would be
required on this one quadrangle,

COTTON CROP REPORT

The Times Democrat of last Mon
day presented the reports OF its cor.
respondents on the history of the
cotton-crop during the month Of
June. The consensus of opinion is
to the following effect:
l. There has been a very moder'
ate Improvement, taking the Belt as
a whole, though many sections re-
cord q distinct deterioration.
2. Some small part of the original
acreage has been abandoned, be-
cause of excessive rainfall and
scarcely of labor.
3. The boll-weevil has made its
appearance in Texas, but no trust
worthy forecast of the prospective
damage can now be made.
4. The crop was very late aud re-
cent rains have accentuated this
feature OF the case.
5. On the average, the situation
is hardly less critical than 1t was al
the end of May. Perfect meteoro
logical conditions and a late frost
will be needed to avert . disaster

Spring Poetry a la New
York.

The sun has crossed the line and
now the weather may be vernal
that is, il no more cyclones come,
like yesterdays, to spurn all efforts
OF the spring to come as per the
classic rhymes, (Perhaps there vas
a spring in those days of the good
old timers y But this spring sprang
q fearful leak from clouded dome
supernal, and weather that should
be divine might be declared infer.
nal; entirely too much chilliness-
nocturnal and diurnal, which
prompted many citizens to take, for
woes external, the ancient spring
revi,er of the old Kentucky Colonel.
The mercury fell down the tube q
point below the freezing, and spring
herself might be excused from
shiverlng and sneezing. The wind,
u britk northeaster, howled, the sky
was dark and solemn, and cbills
chased one another up and down
the spiral column.
O! hail, diptherial mildness, hail
and rain and snow-and blossom
Perhaps the spring has really come
and may be playing 'possum!

Selection OF Juries

Many methods by which less
time would be consumed IN the Sc
lection of a jury have been propos-
ed. The latest suggestion IN this
line was offered by Judge Tuley at
the recent meeting of the Illinois
Bar Association. Judge Tuley de-
clared that it is the duty of the
judge to make careful examina.
ton Of each jurymau on the panel.
cit IS the courts duty to see that
these men are morally and mentally
qualified to pass upon the ques.
lions placed before them. Out of
a PANEL of sixty men l have found
thirty five, perhaps, who are COM
petent to act as jurors y He said
that 1t is NO unusual thing for
lawyers 10 take thirty days in try
ing to get jury to hear a case,
and it has been known to take two
months to do this work. He sug-
gested as a remedy that the judge
select eighteen men from the panel
and then allow the plaintiff and
defendant each to reject three. If
this plan were adpoted. Judge Tu.
ley thinks delays in the admins
tratlon of justice, especially IN
criminal cases, would be lessened
