STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Volume of Business Expanded but
 Centering on Few Stocks.

New York, Jan. 6.-Many wide ad- vances were recorded in the prices of stocks to-day and the volume of busi- ness expanded. The movement was very uneven and spotty, with large ac- tivity, congested at few points, where also the principal rise occurred, except for wide advances in few inactive stocks which have not sold before in the interval of the general improve ment in the market. The dealings were highly professional and successful ma noeuvres against an outstanding short interest formed an important feature of the day. Proft-taking at the end greatly reduced the days gains. The broad underlying basis of the opera lions for the rise was the pronounced relaxation ir the money market. Not only was money decidedly easier, but the conviction was general that the breaking down of the final barriers to the restoration of normal banking con- ditions would be followed by something like a rush back into banking deposits of funds.
 The renewal rate for call loans at the stock exchange fell to, per cent There were increased supplies offered in the time loan department and inter | est rates were marked down consider ! ably. Even in the commercial paper department, which has reflected little | of the improvement hitherto there was reported some increased demand, al. | though rates were still maintained at minimum of per cent. This new demand cane from some of the large banking centers outside of New York The betterment of the money situation extended to foreign markets, although the effect was offset there by the dis satisfaction with the news of the com ing Notation of a Prussian loan, esti mated at S75,0O0000.
 Conspicuous strength in a few stock was principal element in the genera advance. Of these Northern Pacifi was most prominent. The animated ! speculation in that stock was baset | OH d COlSldlll SlItdll ol IulllpIS it garding the alleged intention to declare an extra dividend on that stock. N, official sanction could be obtained fol these rumors. The Hartman stock were made strong on assumptions o the benefits to accrue to them iron the supposed project affecting the HI properties. Reading was another cen ter of speculation and the group O coalers were all very strong. The bet ter relative show of earnings whicf these roads have made since the gen eral reaction, compared with othe railroads, helped the advance. Another rise in the price of copper in Londor was helpful factor in cheering senti ment. A late stiffening in the cal loan rate added to the disposition t take profits on the rise and the resul was an easy tone at the closing J Bonds were firm. Total sales pa value S3,4SO,0O0,

The sharp rise in Northern Pacific, carrying 1t up to level about 10 points above that of a few days ago. had the natural effect of convincing that something important is about to happen. As to the details, nobody was very bold in predicting. There were some hints of an extra dividend. The next regular dividend will be payable about February and action on it is due this week. MT. Hill, In recent in- terviews, has maintained mysterious reserve.

It was reported on the floor that b0,000 shares of borrowed Great North ern preferred had been returned last week by E. F. Hutton & Co. in the name of c. D. Barney & Co., and il was current gossip that this stock was transferred by Hartman & Co. The rumors about the sale of the remainder of the Union Pacific holdings of Great Northern got down to so fine a point that it was said that something under 500 shares is all that now remains in the Union Pacific treasury.

Reading was comparatively heavy during the first half of the day. Trad CTS did not know whether to believe that this stock was being liquidated under cover of the grangers, or that Reading later on would have an inde- pendent rise and give operators a chance to dispose of other stocks while this Is in progress. Reading is a so- called independent stock and is easily moved up or down.

Gone.

The green has gone out Of the leaf
And sap has gone out Of the tree.
While friends that knew in my youth
Are lost to the world and to me:
But love that was kindled when young
Shall never depart from the soul
10 fondly remembered today
While wandering from pole unto pole.
The fortune and pleasure we knew
Have passed Nike the surf on the 80,
And bushes Of childhood have fed,
Leaving only a sweet memory:
Yet over the wrecks of the years
The heart and the generous mind
May revel in age without tears
And trust In the truth of mankind.
Look up. then. to stars far above
That shines for the brave and the juSt,
Eternal In regions Of love.
Where nothing shall crumble to dust,
But all the good gone from the earth
We shall find ON yon heavenly plain
And all OF our losses since birth
We will surely revive and regain.

Uses Of Baskets by Mexicans.

which the bird is put. a hole in the crown

sport of Mexico, but cock fighting IL much
more universal. for the humblest peasant

Calvin Morgan Found Dying.

One OF the most startling tragedies
which has shocked the people of Lex
ington in many years occurred Sunday
evening when Calvin Morgan, nephew
of Gen. John II. Morgan, and one OF
the wealthiest and best known young
men of Lexington, was found lying in
bed at his home with bullet hole in
his head, while a smoking pistol lay
on the pillow beside him.
1t has been Mr.. Morgan's custom
to keep the pistol under his pillow,
and it is not known whether the shot
was fired with suicidal intent or the
pistol was accidentally discharged dur
mig Mr.. Morgan's attempt to place it
under his pillow before going to sleep
for the night, He was unconscious
when found by his mother. the only
other person in the house, and was
attracted by the sound of the pistol.
Mr.. Morgan died two hours later, with
out regaining consciousness.
Calvin Morgan was 80 years of age
and was a son of Col. Calvin Morgan,
a brother of Gen, John II. Morgan, and
who himself served with distinction
throughout the war in the famous COM
mand OF his distinguished brother. His
father died many years ago, from whom
young Morgan inherited an ample for
tune, which enabled him to be free
from business cares, apd to crafty his
tastes in whatever bent they turned.
He had been cripple for years from
paralysis and walked with two canes,
but was at all times attended by q
colored servant.
