MARKET IN HANDS
OF PROFESSIONALS.
Stocks Went Up and Down as
Brokers SHIFTED TO Scalp
Point
AMALGAMATED WAS STRONG

.AMALGAMATED WAS STRONG

NEW YORK, January 3.--The stock
market of to-day failed to reflect any
pronounced views on the speculative out
look. The operations were largely In the
hands of professional traders, and the
movement OF prices indicated that they
shifted their position from time to time
from one side to another OF the market
In the effect to scalp profit.
Tho Hartman stocks were still under
some pressure of a special nature, and
this was naturally attributed TO the COM
ing Investigation Of the relations between
these properties by the Interstate Com
rnerce Commission, which is to begin in
New York tomorrow.
Delaware and Hudson fell away sharply
In spite of the increase in the dividend
rate, which was not, however, as large
as SOME of the stockholders have con-
tended for. Arfaganated Copper was a
prominent instance of strength. due to
current reports of an intended further
increase In the dividend rate. Atchison
was helped by reports of the. same char
acter.
The maximum early rate for call loans
was II per cent. compared with 20 per
cent. yesterday. and the rate got down
to 9 per cent comparatively early In the
day. while IL per cent. was the low
point touched

FRUIT AND PRODUCE
MARKET is DULL

The produce and fruit market seems to
bcEhasing some trouble.getting over the
after-holiday lethargy, and refuses to
pick itself up. Yesterday the receipts
were somewhat in excess of the demand,
and business was rather dull. all of the
wholesalers and commission men COM
planning of lack of buyers, prices on
everything except standard produce and
apples of the better grades being still
lower and still having downward ten
deney. Poultry and game We're plentiful,
with swagging prices. Eggs are becom
ing more plentiful every day. and yester-
day the best the wholesalers could get
for the fresh country eggs was 20 cents
per dozen for crate lots. Chickens, tur-
Keys. butter and all manner of game
Were dull and hard to.selI at anything
like former figures. The general decline
since the holiday rush has been fully 10
per cent.

new ACID TEST
ENDS GEM FRAUD
Lapidary Finds HydrOfluOFiC
LiquOd Used to EtCh Glass,
Will Mark Imitation Jewels

Wholesale dealers in precious stones
have opened a campaign against the
fraudulent sale os imitation precious
stones, and information has been sent
TO retail jewelers. in this and other cit
les throughout the country OF a new
but simple method OF distinguishing all
glass limitations from genuine stones.
Hitherto dealers In New York say,
the sale Of spurious gems has been
greatly facilitated by the fact that the
false character Of many of them could
not be detected except by a man train
ed in using special apparatus. Now any
person by simply dipping the stone,
whether free or set. into an acid. may
learn at once II it is Of glass. Hydro
iuoric acid, which Is commonly used
in jewelry factories in etching glass IS
the only requisite. one minutes inn
merslon will eat the polish off the
hardest glass ever made.
Because Of the cheapness OF this acid
and the simplicity Of the method the
dealers believe It will soon be in gem
eral use in retail stores and among pur-
chasers Of stones TO end deception. The
president of a company Of lapidaries

would solve the problem and impaired
the Information TO other wholesale
dealers.
Hydrohuoric acid. this man says, will
not injure gold so that stones set in
rings or brooches may be immersed
without removal from the settings.
Turquoises and opals are rapidly eaten
by the acid, and quartz gems. such as
amethyst, ordinary topaz. crystal and
peridot. are slightly etched. The deal
ers are sending out warnings TO per-
sons not used to handling acids 10

TO protect the skin and to exercise cau-
tion as to the fumes. which are dan
gerous They are rejoicing because the
four stones classed as preclous-the
diamond, the ruby. the emerald and the
sapphire-are all proof against the ac-
ton Of the acid.

Walker gave a testimonial in 1891
recommending this remedy. His com.
nlaint had clung to him for years and
bad become almost unbearable. At
times he could scarcely get about and
whenever he took cold It laid him up
for week or ten days at time. On
the advice OF friend he got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Danforth's drug stree.

THE ICE SUPPLY

Since the cold weather set in a day
or so ago some people have thought
that ice might be produced in the
factories Of Dame Nature Of sufficient
quantity to replenish depleted stocks
and reduce current prices.
These fond hopes appear to have
been rudely shattered. however, as
such ice as was made was not Of a
sufficient thickness to warrant cutting
and storage, and the present modera-
ton OF the weather does not seem to
augur we'll for better conditions.
1t is said that some ice formed at
the headwaters OF the Brandywine
and some ice, Of the consistency OF
window glass, has formed along the
shores of the Delaware and Christiana
And the worst part Of 1t all is the
indisputable fact that the winter is
daily growing shorter, each day bring
ing the time OF bursting buds and rum
ming sap closer and closer. Hence
there Is sorrow in the ranks Of those
having reason TO use ice, and corre-
spending glee among the concerns who
manufacture It for the market.

best describe the spring hat as 1t is
presaged in advanced models for south
ern wear. 1t is small, coquettshly
bent and twisted. and Of that delight
fully piquant becomingness which wo-
men who like small millinery have
awaited in vain for some years.
Gold lace is not so impossibly gor-
geous as it sounds. when it is the
delicate fairylike fabric now shown at
the lace counters. This is a fine gos-
samer lace insertion. the delicate
threads overlaid with fine gold strands
and the effect on a flmy white frock
would be delightful
Newest coiffure combs are Of enor-
nous proportions, with immense square
tops Of amber tortoise or silvery she'll
Little women will appear quite top
heavy under their weight.
A new trimming is a banding OF
sheer French batiste, hand-enlbroidered
with coin spots OF medium size and
close together. This makes a very
pretty decoration for wash frocls.
