NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The action of the
stock market today indicated rather more
the case last week. even while money
rates were ruling at 100 per cent. The
speculation made progress today and
there was broad and active market with
plenty of evidence of strength. The
strength, however, was in spots and the
market showed large degree of irregu-
larty due to pressure of profit taking. The
money situation today was apprecia bly,
less acute than last week but neverthe-
less the market was undeniably strong.
The rate opened at so per cent and there
was small isposition to yield below 81
per cent, while the active operations of
the day were still in progress, and be-
lated borrowers made a late rate of 60
per cent. This was a distinct disappoint-
ment to the hopes of some of the boldeSt
of last weeks spectators. The money
market was less affected today than was
hoped by the large disbursements of div
idend and interest money for which pro-
vision has been making by the accumu-
lation of cash and by the release Of sums
gathered into trust companies to
strengthen their showing for the annual
statement
urday of $1,000, 900 for transfer to San
Francisco proved a disagreeable surprise
and helped to establish the credit bal
ance of the government institution at the
clearing house.
The money situation in foreign markets
eased decisively. The course of money in

New York situation owing to the very
heavy sums borrowed from foreign lead
ers for the conduct of the appropriation
here. and when all is due within the next
four weeks, the facility with which these
obligations can he renewed may have a
bearing upon the future of the specula-
tion here. New York exchange at Chi
cago. which had been ruling at a dis
count. rose to n small premium today
Some stress was laid on the fact that
wagers on the mayoralty election in New
York, which were held up on account of
the contest, were paid off today.
Some special effect was produced on
sentiment by the manifest pressure upon
the United States Steel stocks. Union Pa
ciflc and Amalgamated Copper which
were influential leaders of last weeks
advance.
The recovery in the money rate on the
demand from belated borrowers late in
the day, added to disappointment over the
small outside participation in the ma rlSet
induced general throwing over OF stocks
in the final hours trading, which carrie
the average level below Saturday and
wiped out manv of the earlier gains. The
closing tone was irregular.

BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9,--The market for
wheat was firm for the greater part of
the day. there being at rirst a slightly
easier feeling which continued only
through the trst half hour of trading,
The decline was induced by liberal re-
ceipts in the northwest and local trad
crs sold freely. Higher prices at Liver
pool, Sai id to be caused by smaller ship
ments from Russia ana ports on the
Eanube, together with buying by lead
ing bulls, brought out a reaction ana
prices made a fair rally. Many early
sellers became buyers and this aided in
the creation of a firmer feeling. The
dullness of the holidays was still IN
evidence. May opened a shade lower to
shade higher at S7b a SSC; sold up to
SS3s a 42c, and closed firm, \ a. sc
higher, at SSac.
Despite lower cables and liberal local
receipts the corn market was steady
throughout the day May closed prac-
tically unchanged at 44%c.
lively demand by commission
houses caused firm feeling in the oats
market. May closed Ac up at 325s a.

Provisions were steady ana quiet. AZ

The Winter Sun Parlor..
The veranda is an admirable portion
possibilities seem unlimited. By a
preparation of the floor and roof with
felt and other insulation against the
cold, one of the ends of the veranda
may be filed in with plate glass, at a
very moderate additional expense, to
form a winter sun parlOr or a sun par
Tor and conservatory combined. For
heating purposes, steam pipes and IA
diators may be added to the regular
nicer, a mantel and fireplace may be
built on the outside wall of the house
to make connection with one of the
hueS supplied for the dining room or
library CRATE.
In many houses a mantel and CRATE
may be added to the veranda sun par
lor by an inexpensive method. Sun
parlors Of this type have the plate
glass entirely unobstructed from cell
ing to floor, but shades arc added at
the floor, and cords and pulleys are
required. The furniture necessary for
such parlor corresponds to. the light
willow and other pieces used in the
summer cottage, and is, in fact, sup
posed to be furnished with these pieces
during the winter season, thus giving
all-the-year-round service for the
pieces, where before they were placed
in the attic or distributed as well as
possible in the bedrooms and other
parts of the house.
The veranda sun-parlor accommodates
odd rugs and ragcarpet rugs for the
floor, is equipped with easy reading
chairs in willow, light rockers, work
table or two, and few bookcases and
magazine stands; then it is complete,
and one of the most delightful winter
rooms of the house. A few hundred
dollars will convert the. corner Of a
veranda into one of these pleasant
rooms. and, with the coming of spring,
the plate glass sections may be re-
moved, the 'mantel may be cased in
wood, the radiators may be disconnected
and the regular wire screen panels may
take the place of the plate glass frames
which they replace. In a day, the win
ter room is transformed into the sum-
mer veranda, and there is no reason
why hammock should not hang in the
veranda, whether as sun-parlor or a
screened piazza, winter or summer.
