FRANK J. DoNNERBERG.

Frank ]. Donnerberg, who several
months ago opened a handsome jew
elry store at S74 Commercial street,
has won a reputation that has brought
him what is perhaps the best trade in
the city. After l6 years experience in
the large jewelry and Matchmaking
stores of San Francisco and Portland.
Mr.. Donnerberg came to Astoria and
opened a small place at ITO Eleventh
street, confning himself largely to
repairing watches, and carrying a
small stock of jewelry and watches.
His customers found him a good
matchmaker and discovered they were
given fair treatment and patronized
him literally, enabling him to in
crease his stock rapidly. Mr.. Donner-
berg is a broad-minded business man,
and his up-todate stock includes all
the newest styles which he purchases
from New York and San Francisco
wholesalers, and his establishment Is
a credit to the city.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Early Tone of Market Irregular-De-
 cisiye Rise in Prices.

New York, Feb 20.-It was only after considerable hesitation and several false starts that prices moved decisive ly upwards in to-days stock market. The early tone was unsettled and IT, regular and there was renewed realiz- ing at the close. The contest between the opposing speculative forces which was waged yesterday was persisted in. Advocates of higher prices seemed to be in dread that some such outbreak of special liquidation might meet them as was encountered yesterday in the Gould stocks and the Interborough- Metropolitan bonds and which made the upward movement abortive before the day ended, But no such obstacle intervened to-day and the turn against the short interests was successfully achieved, the covering demand from that element when it commenced to re- treat aiding materially in advancing prices. The approach of a Saturday holiday increased the disposition of the bears to reduce their commitments The one item of news of any importance was the decision of the question of the right of the Hartman and Railroad Securities company interests to vote their holdings of Illinois Central stock which was contained ill the opinion de- livered in the Illinois court. The dis pute has been on unsettling influence as much from the fact of being kept open as from any questions at issue in the case, There was but one sale of Illinois Central stock itself during the day and that at decline of a point from the previous sale. Union Pacific, in contrast, was heavily bought.
 Stocks associated with the copper industry showed aggressive strength, | in proportion to their recent acute
 weakness pointing to the same con clusion of re-purchase of stocks by
 bear operators. This group was af-
 fected also by a strong rebound in the London price of copper the first inter-
 ruption to the downward course of | that metal which has occurred in many days. Reports of new arrange
 ments for the selling agency of some | of the leading copper interests were
 interpreted as indications .of the ap-
 proachment of those interests to clos
 CT relations. Assertions were in cir culation which could not secure of
 ficial sanction, pointing to an im-
 provcment in the January net earn | ings of the United States Steel corpo- ration over the December showing Predictions of strong weekly bank statement, which will be given out to- 1 morrow, were made owing to the ap- | parent gain of between five and six i million dollars cash by New York on l the weeks currency movement The 1 professionalism of the market was in-

THE STOCK MARKET Slight Gain Made After An nouncement of Hartman
 Decision. RALLY IN THE G0ULDS Weekly Bank Statement Will Not be Issued To-day Until Three
 O'Clock.

After an irregular opening, with most issues fractionally lower than Wednes- day, supporting orders came in in lead- ing stocks, and there was gradual recovery. At the time of Judge Balls decision in favor of Hartman as against Fish, in the Illinois Central fight, the market was firm, and 1t continued to gain ground after the opinion was handed down. At midday various issues were from 1 to points higher than yesterdays closing figures. The leaders in the upward movement were those which are commonly refer red to as the standard Oil group"

In the last hour stocks sold off rather sharply, under a heavy volume of prof it-taking sales. Probably the rumors regarding new security issues had some thing to do with much of the selling, In any event, the popular view was that the driving in of the shorts was over, and the various pools found no further req son for trying to keep prices head ed upwards But little outside buying was stimulated by yesterdays early rise in the market.

Mir. Harrman's assertion that bet ter treatment of employees on the large railroad systems of the country as to wages was dependent on the ad- minlstering to the financial needs of corporations, and dropping the hint, by inference, that nothing should be done to delay the notation of new securities was popularly construed as desire to create better stock and bond market. for the purpose oe effecting the purposes mentioned. Numerous persons in Wall street have been trying to fig- ure out when the way would be clear for disposing of new bonds and talk ing care of maturing obligations Thus far, they have not been able to reach any conclusion. The labor outlook and the prospect of reduced dividends have tended to restrict public buying of se- curities.
