NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, February 1.-The no
table fact in the action OF b stock
market today was the readiness with
which prices advanced ON a Voluma OF
buying which was moderate. The buy
ing orders came into the market at If
regular intervals and there were long
halts in the rising tendency and in the
execution Of buying orders. The hard
ness Of the market in the dull inter
walls was remarkable and was hign.y
significant of the great subsistence Of
the selling. The receipt OF the news
from Washington that the treasury Gc-
partment would buy s25, 900, 600 OF Tie
nearly matured four per cents Of 1907
at 1C1 1-2 was the signal of The mos
animated buying Of h session The
first impression given by the news was
of relief from the anxiety over the
coming withdrawal on Friday OF this
week Of the remaining half Of the de-
posts Of government funds made with
the banks in December, which would
call for Sc, 0OS. 900 The t~reasury's otter
is 1-2 per cent. higher than was made
in December fer $4,000 900. At thai
time only about s 3,C0O, 900 Of the bonds
were turned in. The price offered Is
practically that ruling in the market.
But response to the offer IS not expect
ed from hOrl1ers Of the bonds who have
them on deposit to secure circulation.
From investment holders It Is not
expected that large offerings will De
made. More stress was Laid OF the
expectation that the decision OF the
treasury would be modified regarding
the withdrawal OF deposits on FRIDAY.
There were rumOrs In constant clrcu-
lation in the market also OF a 1eeiln6
of greater confidence ON the part l
capitalists over the attitude Of the ad-
minEstration towards corporations.
Call money was higher than last week
and the time money market was urn
in sympathy, but the stock market re-
| 1ected no uneasiness on that score.
| The dul1ness of the market was partly
accounted for by the interruption OF
operations for tomorTow's holiday
| The strength of coppers was h efec-
| tive sustaining influence in he laleT

How to Wash Blankets.

Take one-half cake of soap, cut
into small pieces and dissolve thor
oughly in hot water. Pour this into
enough cold water to cover the blank
cts. Add two ounces of pulverized
borax and put your blankets to soak
all night. In the morning take them
out and squeeze most of the water
out of them, and rinse thoroughly in
cold water in which a little borax
has been dissolved. Put them through
a second water and then through blu
ing water. Do not wiring or squeeze
them this time, but hang them up to
dry. The easiest way is to take them
while in the last water out under the
line, as it is not convenient to carry
them while full of water. Hang them
by one end or side. OF course, you
want sunny day for drying them
nicely, and If you put them to soak
and the next day is stormy, it will
not hurt them to soak longer. If the
wool is greasy use more soap and
borax.
Fine flannels and babies sacks and
crocheted skirts are nice when
washed in this way, and if you use
cold water it prevents shrinking.
Vary the proportion of soap and bo-
rax to suit the quantity of water

Why Some Books Last Long.

There are books that have sur
vived two or three centuries, the
printing in which has improved in
color as they have grown older.
Some paper experts, alluding to this
fact, predict that most Of the books
made now will not last much longer
than fifty or sixty years. Much Of
tie paper now used for making
books is composed in part of wood
pulp, treated with powerful acids,
while the ink is made of substances
naturally at war with the paper it
is used on. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo, therefore, that within fifty or
sixty years the ink will eat its way
through the paper, thereby destroy
ing the books. The paper used two
or three centuries ago was made Of
honest rags, and the ink was made
of nutgalls. That accounts for the
good condition in which they are
now.
