YEsTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.
Signs of provement--Specufati [ Sentiment Less Depressed.

New York, Feb 5.-There were signs of improvement in the tone of the stock market to-day and speculative senti- ment among habitual traders was less depressed. The reservation with which this brighter sentiment is accepted is due to the conflict with usual prece- dents in the present action of the mar Ret as prelude to an extended recoV- cry. Prices have gone down steadily without material rally since the first of the year, and with gradual growth of resistance and lapse into dullness. Usually the progress of a decline ar rives at a stage where the exhaustion of margins, the uncoveFing of stop-loss orders and the Weariness of discour- aged holders bring out a flood of ur- gent selling and 8 violent break in prices, which watchful professional op- orators on the short side take advan- tage of to buy to cover their short con- tracts, thus causing an equally sudden rally. It is after this sequence of events that the period of dullness and waiting is expected which preludes the shaping of the market for a new movement in either direction.
 There has been no such eliminating break in the recent market and there has been no violent rally to indicate the effectual conclusion of the speculative campaign of the bear, The attitude maintained by the professional trading element towards the evidence of im- provement-in in the market is based on this theory of market movements. There have been symptoms of belated liquidation in the market yesterday and to-day in special stocks which help to keep alive the misgiving that imporr- ant selling of stocks remains to be ef- fected. It occurred in Great Northern to-day and weakened that stock ma terially, in spite of the stronger tenden- cy of the general market. The special depression of Pennsylvania yesterday was explained by the news this morn ing of differences over a demand for wage increase from the trainmen east of Pittsburg.

improved tone of the market is the ev- idence of revival of investment de- mand. This is especially conspicuous in the buying outright of stocks in small parcels for the investment yield. The matter was brought to attention by the action of the stock exchange au- thorities in ordering the resumption of the printing of transactions in todd lots on the tape.
 The dullness of the trading was part ly due to the large list of absentees, due to the storm interruptions of traf- Ific.

President Roosevelt States the Rea-
sons Why We Should Give Thanks

President Roosevelt's. Thanksgiving
proclamation heretofore referred to in
full is as follows:
Once again the season of the year
has come when, in accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for gen.
erations past, the president appoints Il
day as the especial occasion for all
our people to give praise and thanks
giving to God.
During the last year We have beea
free from famine. from pestilenca.
from war We are at peace with all
the rest of mankind. Our national re.
sources are at least as great as those
of any other nation. We believe that
in ability to develop and take advan-
tage of these resources the average
man of this nation stands at least as
high as the average man of any other.
Nowhere in the world is there such an
opportunity for free people to de-
velop to the fullest extent all its pow
ers of body, of mind and of that which
stands above both body and mind
character.
Much has been given us from on
high and much will rightly be expected
of us in return. Into our care the IL
talents have been intrusted, and we
are to be pardoned neither if we
squander and waste them, nor yet il
we hide them in napkin, for they
must be fruitful in our hands. Eve
throughout the ages, at all times and
among all peoples prosperity las been
fraught~ with danger, and it behooves
us to beseech the Giver of All Things
that we may not fall into love of ease
and luxury; that we may not lose oui
sense of moral responsibility; that We
may not forget our duty to God anj
to our neighbor.
A great democracy like ours. z
democracy based upon the principle:
of orderly liberty. can be perpetuatat
only if in the heart of ordinary citizen!
