MISSIONS IN CHINA.
Special Report From American Board
at peking.

The American board OF commissioners
for foreign missions, at Boston. has re-
ceived special report from Rev William
8. Ament. DID,. missionary OF the board
In Peking. China, concerning the situation
In that country. DR.. Ament says that
the native leaders in Picking have an
nounced their desire for a newspaper de-
voted to the interests of women In China,
and that women Of Shanghai have Joined in
the boycott on American goods there. DIR.
Ament adds:
Just now sign not OF comfortable por-
tent Is the enlarged military activity out
OF proportion to the financial strength Of
the empire. Uniformed men abound far
more than the real needs of the empire re-
quire. Munitions Of war are purchased
which will soon be old and worthless.
One man in China seems to be working
with an intelligent idea of his country's
interests. The man is former minister to
the United States, WI Ting Fang. Not
withstanding much obfoquy and opposition.
he has secured the abolition Of torture in
civil cases except the most aggravated)
and secured legislation on such matters as
commerce patents, trademark, and made
the relations between people and officials
far more cordial than formerly. The whole
legal proceedings of Chinese courts are to
be reconstructed. which means the begin
ming of a new era in China

NEW YORK, January 15.-Dealings In
the Industrial stocks were the dominant
feature OF today's stock market. The
standard railroad shares. which exercised
81 influential leadership In the last FEW
weeks. were in many cases barely more
than steady throughout the bulk of the
session This was noticeably so in Union
Pacific. st. Paul, Pennsylvania and South
ern Pacific. On the other hand. Missouri
Pacific and the Gould stocks generally
showed rather aggressive tendencies. Some
OF the lower priced railroads. en- as South
ern railway and Mexican central, were
firm features of the trading-a fact when
many good judges of speculative conditions
chose TO ascribe to the growth of the pub
lies participa ton in the speculation that
IS now going on and the lower priced IN
dustriais were active and strong in a way
that permitted much the same kind OF
deductions.
As whole, the leadership of the day was
furnished by Amalgamated Copper. AmeTl-
can Smelling, the United States Steel Is
sues and the minor iron and steel stocks
and railroad equipment shares. The local
fractions continued the demonstration OF
flrmness which they made at the close OF
the market last week.

The New Merger Plan.


No information was obtainable that would

the formal announcement of the terms,
times and places for the deposit of stock
under the new merger plan will be made.
Steel preferred sold at new high record
price, and the common stock crossed 40

There was no news or gossip that tended
TO throw much light on the transactions in
particular or grouped securities, but there
WAS plentiful supply of the tips that this

The London Market
The reception accorded by the London

Foreign markets were not particularly dis

ply with equal or greater force to Anal
