GORKY HAS DEFENDERS.

The Graphic has several times call ed attention to what Maxim Gorky, the Russian Socialist and revolution ist stands for. We have called atten- ton. in common with the decent and fearless press of the country, to hls appearance in this country, accom- panied bp a woman who is not his wife. while his true wife and children remain in Russia, and the Graphic has not hesitated to denounce his action as an insult to American nor, als and decency. However, Gorky is not without defenders, and the Chi cago Inter. Ocean takes them in. hand and gives them a roasting as fol- lows:
 .rhe deere of social Gstrac'sm en tered against the we'll known Russian novelist now in this country. because he has deserted his legal wife ana the mcther of his children to run aAoat reforming the world with another woman. was bitterly resented at two public meetings in this city Sunday by another Russian 'reforn1er.'
 "Gorky has been subjected to so- cial lynching,' declared his defender, in substance. because he is not in sympathy with the morality and the ccnyentionality of the capitalist class. His only crime is that he is revolu- tionist'
 This argument for Maxim Gorky is simplv lie. The conventiOnality which Maxim Gorky has violated and the morality which he has outraged are not peculiarly 'capitalistic' in this or any other civilized country. In America, at all events, this morality is the morality of the carpenter, the teamster. the fruit peddler. the junk man, and their wives and sisters. just as much as it is the morality of the banker and his family. It is just com mon American deceney.
 '.lt is true that people are found to annlaud such arguments against Amer ;ean decency and for its Soelalistle antithesis. It is to be hoped that Professor John Dewey of Columbla University enjoys being hailed by such persons as 'comrade.'
 "These Russian 'reformers' certain K the becoming a public nuisance Deeent Americans are getting tired of them. They might better go oack to Russia. They will never become repular enough here to enlist help for their eolleasues at home. That Is sure

though it was an occasion of festiy. tiles and feasting. The winners were overwhelmed with honors, but to win them meant strenuous work and devo- lion to duty.
 The idea of combining religious ex- ercises and physical culture originat- ed, undoubtedly, in the very correct view that it is the sacred duty of man to develop mental and physical powers to the greatest possible perfec- tion. It followed that the people, dur ing the festivals in honor of the gods. on which occasion they displayed the best they had of everything, also de- eiled to please their di7inities by display of their physical achievements.
 Even the strength of the youth and thn beauty of their forms were con sidered among the good gifts of the diety, for which the people owed them gratitude. And thus the Olympian festival was essentially. a religious institution. ffs
 The contests at first were permit ted only to the Greeks, but after the Romans conquered Greece they took part in the games, Tiberius and Nero appearing in the list of victors. Z, s.

Instances of bru- tality were not unknown when these rrize-fighters exhibited in various places in the country and the sports finally became so brutal sand corrupt that the games were abolished by the emperor Theodosius in 394 A. D. They were revived only fin recent years and now promise to be an annual event at Athens. Properly conducted, they will have an inestimable value from an educational standpoint.

THE olYMPlAN GAMES.

The great Olympian games at Athens, Greece, which have just clos ed resulted in a splendid victory for the American athletes who participat- ed and great triumph for American brain and brawn
 The Americans won twelve first, five seconds and five thirds, a total of 70 points, scoring in the games as a whole. Greece won second place and Sweden third
 It must, indeed, have seemed strange to the Greeks who paused to reflect on the antiquity of the Olympian games that the first place in the great contest should have been won by Americans. When the Olympian games were first established and were in their glory, Columbus was unborn America was not only undiscovered but undreampt of and the Americans --the winners of this years events were unknown in the ethnology of races.
 The Olympian games, revived of late years. date back to the dim anti quity of Greece They were originally part of the great national festival in honor of Zeus. the chief among the deities Undoubtedly that institu- tion served as a uniting link between the Greks who took part in it. It had a civilizng and humanizing influence. for the beginning of the festivities marked the end for the time being, of hostilities, and the district i'll which they were celebrated was con sidered sacred. None were permit ted to enter it armed. and anyone who transgressed against this rule was considered an outcaSt. Even friendly armies must deposit their arms at the border. if they desired to enter the territory set apart for these exercises. The institution was. originally, intended to be a mighty factor for peace and human brother hood at time when the war spirit was predominant, although i'll later years this purpose was no ionser kept in view
 The celebration comprised original ly two parts, one religious and the other secular. The first was the main feature and consisted in sacrifices to the various divinities to which the Greeks paid homage. The second were the games played in the inter yals between religious obsevances. Running. jumping. horse-racing, dis cus-throwing. spear-throwinS. and wrestling were among the sports in dulged in.
 Admission to the games was accord cd all Greeks who had not committed any crime. Strangers and slaves were not excluded from the specta tors. but could not offer sacrifices ol take part in the sports. Married wo men were not admitted althousf young ladies were permitted to view the contests The religious aspec O. the festivities appeared in the con ditious under which the contestants were admitted They were first re uuired to solemnly swear at the alta1 of Zeus. that they had devoted at leas ten months to preparations, and tha they would not practise any dishon esty in the contests
 To partake in the Olympian games was a serious affair in olden times

in Paris have a bearing on the outlook for gold exports. No arrangements were reported, however, for any further ship ments of gold. The announcement that the next issue of New York city bonds would be 4 per cent instead of 3ih per cent, in order to secure their sale within the legal minimum of par, was regarded with interest. Since the new city char ter no bonds have been issued for less than 315 per cent, but the price Of the securities has been declining to below par The high rates for money and the speculative demand for securities with claims to share in profits are given as inc causes of the declining tendency in interest-bearing securities of which this was an example. Disappointment over the decision of the constitutionality or the stock transfer tax had some part In the decline in the activity of the later mar lSet. The early selling pressure centered upon Reading and the unsupported con dition of that stock had a sympathetic effect on the rest of the list. The strength of Union Pacific, St. Paul, Amalgamated Conner and the United States Steel stocks made an effective leadership for the re- coverv in the market, and was supple nenAed by the active demand Tor the Pennsylvania group and number or the Morgan railroads. Less effect was pro dueed hv the wider advance In a num- her of stocks of a more obscure type.
 The strength of Colorado Fuel and or Denver and Rio Grande was connected with the plans for the Pacific Coast ex- tensions for the Gould system and St. Paul. and the additional requirements thus indicated for steel products

 treasury Transactions.
SOON SETTLED INTO QUIET

New York, January 26.-There was con- siderable pressure of liquidation for a time but vigorous resistance was opposed to the depression. and aggressive buying orders appeared which started prices up- ward again with some buoysncy. The ad- vance was not pursued to any great ex- tent and the market became rather strangely quiet and neglected without any marked point of weakness appearing to discourage the advancee The forecast of the weeks currency movement proved moro favorable than had been expected on the days transactions with the sub treasury.
 The gain by the banks from that source had amounted to only s2.O0oOoO up to last night, and this was rather moro than offset by the takings of gold for export. The regular express movement with the interior, however, has been largely in fa- vor of New York estimates of the re- ceipts on balance at this port, pointing to a gain of upwards of s6.O00,OOO. The usual doubt is felt over the loan item but the supposition from the heavy liquidation in the stock market known to have taken place would be that the volume of loans has been contracted. Other financial oper- ations, however, timed to take place at this period of sudden flow of currency in- to bank reserves will affect the showing of loans. The money market continued easy but foreign exchange rates made a further advance. The decline in the sterl- ing exchange rate at Paris and the re- ported hardening of the discount market

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The market acted very disappointingly today. On fairly good Liverpool opening prices were unchanged to l point down. Early in the day. decided weakness de- veloped on the report that f. o. b. cotton was selling on cheaper basis and that local spot market was 1sc lower. Longs liquidated freely and the main support accorded the market was by shorts cover ing on the decline. During the early after noon session, the market steadied up somewhat only to meet with renewed sell ing which carried prices as low as Il. 34 for March. A New York dispatch stating that Clahln & Co. denied the report that there had been any cut in dry goods and that they look for higher prices soon had d slightly strengthening eneet before the close which was steady at a net decline for the day of II to 19 points. Spots were officially reported quiet and lA lower on all grades. Sales amounted to- 1925 bales of spots and 1050 bales to arrive on basis of 1lss for mlddling, 100 bales were de- hvered on contract. Bulls failed to follow up their advantage of the day before. The good spot demand reported in Liverpool was apparently not reflected on this side and the market lacked support both from local bulls and the outside public. Mis- leading reports as to f. o. b. quotations and to the state of dry goods market were circulated, and subsequently, denied in a most emphatic manner. Testers weekly statement made d bullsh showing. but had evidently been discounted as the mar ket eased off as soon as the figures were announced In fact, 1t looked as if most operators needed only an excuse to sell on. Bearish sentiment has increased, and unless the bull forces get together and support the market vigorously the selling movement may attain such proportions as to bring on serious break. Should the market hold steady for a few days no doubt a good spot demand would spring up and the large short interest which has been established since the cen sus report came out, might thereby be induced to cover freely. As long as the market lacks support, however. we ex- pect to see the short interest added to.

Ab.rcrombie 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

The weight of actual cotton upon the market, principally interior distributing points holding large stocks when com pared with last year, notably Little Rock, Vicksburg, Memphis and Houston, told upon values today in a most convincing manner. Liverpool offered every encourag- ment looking to a reaction, points up at one time and spots there were in good demand at an advance of points. Sales 12,0OO bales, on the basis of 6.17 for mid ding
 The movement was very light, in fact somewhat smaller than expected. Insight for week, 1s2,00O. last year, 2010o0; year before last, PIP, 900; making total marketed to date, 7,765, 900. compared with S.7sS,Go0 last year. and 7.sss.00o year before last. or 121 600 bales less than in the lO'OooOOO bales crop year.
 The weakness of the market, however. is explained by the fact that while ar rivals to market are surprisingly small. and In keeping with short crop views the export movement hgs been very much lighter. and as a result of these con djtions, stocks at counted interior towns and at the ports have increased instead of decreasing.
