FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A BUoYANT MARKET.
Gains of Two Points or More by Rep
 resentative Issues.

New York, Jan. 30+Stocks rose Duoyantly today. Beginning with a moderate advance at the opening the market gathered strength steadily. In more pronounced, trading expanded to large proportions. Canadian Pacific was forced up 1-2 points Gains of two points or more were made by many of the representative issues. In today's movement the New York market fell in line with the great European exchanges, which are re- Hectlng the pronounced improvement in financial conditions. This factor in the situSion was made the more .po- tent by extensive purchases in this market of stocks for foreign account This buying continued today, London taking perhaps 50,000 shares here on balance
 The upturn assumed the character of the recent advance, for it was at- tended by resumption of investment buying, on a large scale of bonds and high grade stocks. The reaction of the earlier part of the week apparently had strengthened the technical position and when it became apparent today that the downward movement had been definitely checked there was heavy buying by investors who had been waiting for the low point on the backward swing
 Rapid absorption of new bond is sues both here and in London gave further indication of the improved out look for the investment market. An issue of s10,000, 900 St. Paul 1-2 per cent. bonds was sold here today in less than two hours after they were offered by the underwriters, being placed at about 103. The new issue of New York state 1-2s reached a high mark at 10S IA.
 Forecasts of the weeks cash move mentS. indicated another gain by the New York banks of perhaps s10,000, 900. If such a gain is disclosed in tomorrow's bank statement it will bring up the increase in January to about $S0. 100000. the largest for years.
 Bonds moved up abruptly in spots and the general demand was brisk. Totadl sales, par value, s4,57o,000. U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

RINGER AGAINST RINGER.

A few days after my race with An derson at Newark, N. J., I went over to New York and paid visit to my old friend, Hughes the Lepper, ex- champion six-day runner, who con- ducted a saloon at 97th street and Third avenue. Here I met William Smith, car conductor, who had won five mile race a few months before and who had soon afterwards issued a challenge to any conductor in New York to run five miles for $100 a side. Smith informed me that friend had put up a forfeit of s25 the previous night to bind a five mile race for S100 with conductor on the Eighth ave- nue line, and that he feared they had rung in a professional

 Smith, who, with several friends. was just then about to start for Jimmy WakeIy's saloon on Eighth avenue, to complete arrangements, suggested that I don his uniform and impersoriate him, as he was unknown to the other parties, whom he was sure had a ring CT.

currently with the withdrawal of a part of the Connecticut body from the national organization, would seem to materially strengthen the general belief that the ridiculous newspaper attack which preceded the annual meeting and which resulted in the dropping of the director at-large from Ohio. might be properly credited to the Connecticut secretary, who may have known that if this was proven it was the intention of the A.
