 Offerings were readily absorbed on

Happy Andy
From Life.


 1t Is a scandal sthat a man SO rich as MT. Carnegie should maintain with sa much success a spacious appearance of enjoying life. He had a birthday the other day and declared that human life grew more beautiful to him every day. That was before the row at the peace meeting. but at the time it was apparently a sin cere sentiment. It is contrary to most precedents and to maXims of the copy books and the reflections of the philoso- phers, all of which concur in the view that superrabundant money weighs heav- fly on the human heart
 No doubt it does. and probably Mir. Car negle's eheerfulness may be connected with his habit of unloading. Every day or so he fetches up a. fortune and pitches it out to somebody else to struggle with. His facilities for taking this sort of ex- ercise and getting the consequent relief are almost unrivaled. Nevertheless 1t must be conceded that he Is extra smart. Very few men that have ever lived have shown the equal of his capacity to keep himself from being showed under by div idends. He is forever struggling out from under his accuinulatlons and getting on top of his pile. Seventy-six he was the other day, and perfectly cheerful about Il. That eloquent, but discouraged preacher who declared that all things are vanity should have lived to inspect the Laird of Skbo. He may be vanity, but certainly he seems to like 1t.

 Potatoes Received

Mondays trade on Morris avenue was satisfactory. There were several features of the lays business of much interest, the most important of which was tho changes which were made in quotations in the meat and produce markets. Tho prices were lowered slightly. with the eS. oeption of fatbaclSs and the quotation on onions. Fat backs advanced half cent. while onions advanced Ac per lb.
 The potato shipment on the thorough fare was quite large. The present quota tion is held at Sl.40 per bushel Other re- ceipts in tho produce markets were tws cars of oranges and Il ear of celery.

NH NIP AND TUCK TUCK IN IN
 WHEAT YESTERDAY
Nervous and Irregular Fin ish-Support in Corn
 Falls Off

Chicago, January 22.-It was nip and tuck in wheat today. Cables were de- voted to the United States visible supply statement which showed big decrease in the total. As result there was ner- vous irregular finish. varying from lsgl4c net lower to lsc advance. Corn closed 'ssassc under Saturday: oats unchanged to 1saAe down. and hog products the same as ss hours before to 5c decline.
 In addition to having foreign news of a nature for speculation in the bear cam raign these traders watched the north west closely. Receipts there exceeded a year ago.
 The arrivals. however, at one center were larger than the entire amount of shipments from Russian ports all lasi week. Mild temperature furnished the explanation.
 The help from abroad that came to the bears was chiefly a report of hot, dry weather in the Argentine Republic. Be sides this worlds shipments were larger and Austria was said to be offering freely.
 As the session advanced developments regarding tho visible supply began to tell on the side of the bulls. The decrease shown in the end was upward of a mil lion bushels more than at the correspond ing time 12 months back.
 A decided rally ensued. This was met by heavy selling. The sentiment at the last minute appeared much unsettled
 Between tho opening and the close May huctuated from $l.003sQ100A to H0l ;0iA, with last sales isc net higher ai S1 007s.
 Support in corn fell off and the market had reaction for ten minutes. The prl- mary run of supplies from the rural dis tricts was responsible and was empha- sized by predictions of continued big ship ments through the same sources. Longs unloaded right and left May ranged from 66e to 66sse, closing steady, but 3sc net lower at 66lsc. No. yellow in ca' load lots was quoted at 64l3c. Good sup port on declines hedged in the market foi oats, causing an active but narrow trade Top and bottom figures touched by May proved to be 493sa50c, and 49ssc, with the close 4934c, a loss of isc net.
 Hogs swagming into the stock yards here and at points west turned packers so the selling side in the provision pit Many grain commission houses, however appeared to see an opportunity for taking profit by taking hold when prices weak ened.
 When the gong sounded quotations were easy, but clinging within cents of the level of Saturday
 Future quotations were as follows;

NerOrleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, January 22.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of to points. The Liverpool market was not as high as due and private advices from Manchester said that la bor troubles were still in evidence at two Lancashire mills.
 The weather chart reflected good conditions over the cotton region over Sunday, and tho forecast promised fair and warmer weather for the larger part of the belt. All of this gave the market an easy undertone and at the end of the first half hour of busi- ness prices were , to points under Saturday.
 The decline continued until the trad ing months were to points down. Scalping shorts took profits at this

DECI |NE IN STEEL
 OF APO|NT OR MORE Stocks Again Become Heavy After Brief Rise-Great
 Northern Advances

New York, January 22.--After the brief rise of last week, stocks became heavy to- day. Losses were not large, Union Pa7 cifc. Lehigh Valley, United States Steel, American Smeltins and others showed de- clines of point or more at the low quotations of the day, but in majority of cases the movement was narrower Shortly before the close there was an im- provement which partly compensated TOT the earlier recession, but the tone or the market as a whole was reactionary. A few stocks developed strength. ol these the Hill and Fertilizer shares were most conspicuous.
 The. action of the market disappointed hopes for a continuation today or the upward movement which had made con siderable headway at the close or ias' week. Expectations of further riso were predicted upon the recent eNpa"- sion in the demand for bonds, suci "'' increase in the investment inquiry Ire ouently having been forerunner or an increased absorption of stocks
 Trading in bonds continued on heavy scale. the total on the days transactlons heinz one of the largest for several months. The uncertainty of the outlook in business and politics tends to hoid hack an expansion of this movement to stocks since the present disposition or traders is to take quick profits rather than to enter upon commitments Tor the .long pull" The heaviness of the mar ket today was attributed largely to profit taking sales
 United States Steel was subjected to vigorous drivers from the bears An ad- vance in the price of steel wire and wire products was of no effect upon the stock. Some of the selling was based upon re- ports that developments unfavorable to the Steel corporation were expected soon al Washington. Union Pacific also was under pressure.
 Among the stocks which advanced Great Northern preferred, with a gain of 29s, was most conspicuous. The fertilizers came into prominence again Reading was stimulated for time by speculative demand apparently based upon the recent sharp upturn in Central Railroad of New Jersey, but was unable to hold it's ad- vantage.
 Berlin advices were to the effect that arrangements had been made for the re- newal of their obligations here. Unless there is some change that cannot be fore seen fl is probale that ease in money will continue for some time.
 In the bond market trading was broad and confident. Some issues which recent ly advanced smartly were lower on ac- count of professional takings, but prices in general were better. Total sales, par value. s6316,000.
