MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Jan. 1.-The market gave
striking evidence again today of breadth
ana strength notwithstanding the contin-
uance OF heavy prOiit-takinS. There was
a suggestion of the large professional
share III tine market in the systematic
way IN which the selling to realize profits
was conducted and in the sOlcitOus re-
gard TO the effect on prices from this SELL
ing. Inc same thing was suggested by
the sudden way in which strong stocks
moved upwards being galvanized by the
passing of enormous orders through the
market IN individual blocks on a very
large scale.
The volume of transactions showed
some shrinkaSc from last weeks daily
average. This was attributed in part 10
the interruption of wire communication
with the West through storm damage, as
a very large part OF the participation in
the present market is supposed to be due
TO western operators. There was also.
however, some uncertainty aroused in
speculative opinion by the very obvious
way IN which heavy holdings of stock
were fed out to meet the growing public
demand. 1t was not until the more gen
eral advance Of the latter part of the
day that this feeling showed signs OF
being disSipated. United States Steel
seems to be restrained by the uncertainty
over the companys policy regarding an
early resumption of dividends.
Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper
were the notable centers of the profit
taking. St Paul, on the other hand, con-
tlnued the aggressive advance begun Sat
urday and reports were in circulation
that the plans of financing its Pacific
coast extension would soon be announced
Foreign exchange today was strong. The
sub-treasury continued to yield large
sums to the money markets and rates
continued easy. The news of the coming
redemption of S5O,OOO,OOO of the japanese
international loan is of future ccnse-
qucnce to the money markets in which
large amounts of Japanese funds are on
deposit, including New York. The renew
al of heavy realizing in Union Paciric and
Amalgamated Copper and the fve-poin,
squirt in Reading helped to unsettle tho
late market and the closing was very ir-
regular and feverish.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par val
ue, s5.3,0,GC0. United States bonds were
all unchanged on call

 deep. Where the rugged pine, in its lovely
 pride Leans gloomily over the murky tide, Where the weeds and rushes are long
 and rank And the reeds grow thick on the wind
 ing bank Where the shadow is heavy the whole
 day through. There lies at it's moorings the old
 canoe. The useless paddles are idly dropped. Like a sea-bird's wings in the storm have Topped. And crossed on the railing one OCT one, Like the folded hands when the work
 is done; While busily back and forth between The spider watches his silver screen, And the solemn owl with his dull too
 hoo" Settles down on the side of the old
 canoe. The stern half sunk in the slimy wave Rots slowly away in its living grave.

 tower, While many a blossom of lovliest hue. Springs up OCT. the stern of the old
 canoe. The currentless waters are dead and
 still But the light winds play with the boat at will And lazily in and out again It floats the length of a rusty chain, Like the weary march of the hands of time That meet and part at the monday chime; And the shore is kissed at each turn ing anew, By dripping brow of the old canoe. Albert Pike.

 young; When she laughs the dimple dips. We walked In the wind and her long
 locks blew Till sweetly they touched my lips. And TT out to the freezing mere, Where the stiff reeds whistle so low, And I'll tell my mind to the friendly
 wind
 Because T loved her so. Ay, and she's true, my lady is true! And that's the best of all; And when she blushes, my heart so
 yearns That tears are ready to fall. And it's O my love, my love! And it's my dear. my dear! It's of her that I'll sing till the wild

 Nearly a month after that a man paid MT. Webster some money, in cluding a ten dollar gold note. For the first time he thought of the one he had r, csived on the Tybo road. He went through his pockets but could not find it. He hurried to his lodging house to look for his trousers which he had worn on the eventful trip, but had since discarded. They were not to be found. He carried his inquiry to the landlady, who said that she mad found the trousers and thinking that they had served their term as garments she had put them into the mop" For mere than three weeks these pants had been used to SCOUT the floors Of the lodging house.
 Mir. Webster suppressed his excite ment and asked to be shown the mop. He was ushered into its presence, and he proceeded to dissect it. There he found in the watch pocket where he had tucked it, his ten dollar gold note. little the worse for the menial service which it had been made to perform.
 MT. Webster's auditors agreed that this was a remarkable story. Ed Ruppert said 1t was one of the best he had ever heard. He regretted that the god note was not a S2O instead or e $10 for then the story might have been true. He also regretted that the treas ury department had not ordered an issue of $10 gold notes in order that one might have been found to fit MT. Webster's story, but unfortunately, he said, there was never such a thing as Q $1O gold note. The lowest denomi- nation was S20.
 No one else in the crowd could re- member having ever seen a gold note of less than S20. That is what start ed MT. Webster on his round of tha banks and money experts to prove that his narration might not have been a fable. He is still young and intends to lay the matter before the Hon. Chas H. Treat, the treasurer of the United States.

At the New York State Assembly of Mothers, prominent New York doctor told the 500 women present that healthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct.
 This seems to be a sweeping state ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and do not have some trouble arising from a derange- ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bearing down feeling, painful or irregular periods, pelvic catarrh, displacement of the female organs, indigestion or sleepless- ness '? There is tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has re- stored more American women to health than all other remedies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female complaints.
 Such testimony as the following should be convincing.
 Mrs. T. c. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 ''I can truly say that you have saved my life and cannot express my gratitude to you in words. For two years l spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for female irregularities and had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but I was persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and three bottles have restored me to perfect health Had it not been for you would have been in my grave today"

UNIMPORTANT DETAIL
 RUINS A WHOLE STORY
It Also Starts an Inquiry Into Finan-
 cial History.

N. C. Webster seldom takes himself seriously, but yesterday he suddenly became deadly earnest and spent the afternoon rushing around to the banks interviewing financial authorities in search of badly needed proof to bol- ster up a collapsing reputation for veracity.
 MT. Webster and several other gen. tlemen were talking about money. the the different kinds of money and the various denominations of the different when he saw the first gold note. That been issued but none of them until then had reached the Pacific slope.
 MT. Webster and a partner were engaged in the freighting and for warding bushes in Nevada. One day having accompanied one Of his freighting outfits he received a large sum cf money at the destination. Among the money was one of those yellow backed bills which have since become so justly famous. It was a ten dollar gold note.
 Mir Webster determined to preserve it as a souvenir and folded it careful ly and tucked it into the watch pocket of his trousers. When he reached home a few days later, in a settlement with his partner he found himself dollars short He had forgogtten about the gold note but he supposed the missing ten dollars represented | unaccOunted for expenses at the va r-ous inns along the road which dis
