The World Pine npo A lllU 11VV/ Another Disappointing Day on 'Change in Gotham. nrri imc ic PDHTRAPTPn ULV/LIIVk IW I livilinvitiv Opening is. However, Substantially Above Saturday's Closing. ALL ACCOUNTS WEBE ADJUSTED Clearing House Statement of the Stock Exchange Has Wholesome Effect on Market. I>Upnt<-U to The Star. NKVV YORK. January 21.?It seemed to *? *? - /?*\lnlnn that tndov'a .dtnok Ut' 111'" < IMII lliOll <7J/I IIIUI1 11IMV ? ? market gave a disappointing account of itself In view of the preceding protracted decline In price* and the continued absence of anything actually definite In explanation of the downward swing. There was a good deal of uneasiness Saturday afternoon with regard to the progress of the settlement upon the slock exchange clearing house this morning, but It soon became known that all accounts had b<-en satisfactorily adjusted. Previous to the assurances In this regard the general market after having opened substantially above Saturday's closing figures, developed irregularity, but advanced again when definite Intelligence was recwv?l as to trie clearing nouse oemcni--nt. Before the end of the forenoon, however, there took place a very sharp break In Brooklyn Rapid Transit and InterboroughMetropolitan shares, and the outburst 'of apparent liquidation in these stocks created a disagreeable impression as suggesting that Die selling of that description had not bf-en concluded last week, as had been hoped ' l Reduced Liquidation. . I A* a matter of fact, however, liquidation was in greatly reduced scale in comparison < with ia?*r week's records, but on the other hand such tits of strength as the market exhibited from time to time appeared to be caused almost wholly by the covering of short contracts induced by the diminished liquidation. It must be added that there was as little that was definite and im- , portant to b?- adduced In connection with , ttie day's irregular ipovements In prices as was I lie case during last week's continuous , declines. Th?? most interesting development over j Sunday might be named In the disagreeable incident at Kingston, Jamaica, but even , beari*hly disposed traders did not attempt ] to make market capital out of that occur- , rence. , The l.ondon stock market was in fact aWhrtnixh finirp cliiiririAh and onera - tlons here for foreign account resulted In , the purchase of about 25.000 shares. Notwithstanding the successful conclusion of < the settlement upon the clearing house | took exchange there was again no little , recurrent uneasiness as to the position of certain firms and individuals who are sup posed to lave suffered the most severely j through the declines In prices since the first of the year and previously. Break in Local Traction. The sudden break in the locaJ traction hares was. perhaps the most striking featiK* af the day's dealings, but aside from some apparently unwarranted discussion ; with regard to the dividend on Interbor otigh Metropolitan preferred, there was lit- j tie gossip attending the dealings there. furthermore, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, wMt-lV is a non-dividend payer, waa equally as weak as the Interborough stock. i Some quite extensive maximum advances j were scored in the industrial and miscel- j liuieotis shares at one time or another daring tli# day. noteworthy cases in point being Virginia Coal. Coke and Ir'on, Cot)solida. ted lias. American Smelting and Amal- , garnated Copper, but In most of these Instances the full gains were shaded with the course of tlie business session. The United ' States 9te<?l stocks were active and com- 1 paratlvely steady. New York Stock Market. 1- urnlshed by W. B.

There was no chance in the situation as developed at the meeting today of the stock exchange. The market for local securities remains in about the mum condition ^hat It has been for some days past. The selling movement in the New York market wmcn had Us greatest development on Saturday was followed Koday by a specie* of reaction and there wa? a recovery from the lower level* In price*. In the local market today there was ao echo of what had happened In the larger field. The volume of trading was that of an inactive period, and there seemed to be no disposition to either buy or sell. An opportunity was givtn In the case of some or the usually active stocks to buy options, but the bids for these chances to pay Interest on securities that some one else holds were not food enough to make a transaction. * A bid of 56 was made for an option on 100 shares of gas stock and such a block was to be had for 57H, as was also an option on fifty shares. A. quotation lot of t Wpntv.flva akowAa a# #hla "Alii fni* Vfti and then the bid for the stock was W4 and the asking- price a half a point higher. The bid for Capital Traction ctock rose to 141'4, as compared with 140%, which was the bid recorded on Saturday. There was no change in the asking price, which was 143. Options on the preferred stock of the Washington Railway and Electric Railway Company were offered at 86%, and the bid for them was 86. The bid price for the stock was 85 and the asking price 86% instead of 86, as was the case on Saturday. For the common stock 40% was asked for an option and > was bid. The bid at 38% for flffty shares remained the same as on Saturday, while the asking price was 39%. In commenting upon Mr. Jdmes J. Hill's explanation In his letter to the governor of Minnesota of the marked falling otf in railway mileage to the volume of railway business, that It Is due to the unpopularity of such enterprises in the minds of investors brought about by the threats of Individuals and political parties of confiscation or transfer to the state, a financial writer points out that Mr. Hill ..as somewhat exaggerated the effect of political agitation upon the volume of capital going Into rail way construction. In the opinion or mis authority, at least an equal effect with politics must ccrtainly be the revelations ot speculative tendencies in railway management. Today's Government Receipts.

Spcctal XUspstdr to Tht Star. NEW YORK, January 21.?Ten days or more ago, when It *u predicted In some circles that the stock market would have a general advance within a few weeks, some stock exchange houses in close touch with several of the largest capitalists in the street Intimated that such a movement would In all probability be preceded by rather a sharp break; It Is understood that the campaign for lower prices was engineered by a group of seven or eight wetlknown operators who were not bearish -on general conditions, but believed that a nana bo me turn could be mad* on tne anori aide becauae of the general lack of lntereat in the market And apprehension on the part of a good many persons aa to the ef-^ feet upon aecurity prices of legislation In progress and threatened agalnat the large corporations. after the close of business on Saturday and again this morning banking interests that IaaIt ?.^1- rtr. tkA AAntimrv ynx\.Ks loot ncca.

Inasmuch as a considerable number of weak accounts would be cleared up and the level of prices would be reached which would attract both speculators and Investors. "While the holders of short accounts were, of course, bearish in their opinions this morning. It was the belief in certain quarters that practically. If not actually, the lowest prices were reached on Saturday. It was expected that the market would be more or lens Irregular while some accounts were in process of liquidation, but the largest onprntnm v?ro to holipvA that there would be substantial buying for some days. * * * It is learned that on last Friday there was a freer offering 'of time money than has been noted for several months. Stock exchange houses, both large and small, were urged to take three and six months' money at 5H per cent. It Is understood tbat practically all of the large houses were not inclined to accept those rates because it was believed that further concession would be made In the near future. Unless something unforseen develops it is believed , that the market will enjoy a substantial rally, but there is considerable difference of opinion as to whether we are to have a sustained upward movement during the coming weeks. * * * A well-informed banker said there was no occasion for the sharp break In the Soo iiutKs, except mat ine marxec tor inose securities is narrow. Twin City Rapid Transit was depressed on the Idea that the company might be compelled to charge less than 5 cents for carrying passengers. It Is known, however, that the controlling Interests In this company are certain under the terms of the charter of the underlying companies they cannot be disturbed on the matter of rates. * * A representative of a large commercial concern on the other side, who has Just arrived here, says that business in Great Britain was never so good as it is at the present time. He adds that manufacturers of iron and steel products, of cotton and woolen goods, and of various_ other lines. ttie su.u many montns anead. It Is believed that the- tendency of money at European centers will be toward easier conditions. Beyond the Last. Lady Paget, In the Nineteenth Centory. It has often struck me as a curious thing; that In all th? oentnrfM T hovo inKaKU.j shoemakers should generally have been I socialists. I What, I wondered, produced this odd phenomenon? It was hardly to be- supposed that souls with socialistic tendencies Incarnate by preference In. shoemakers, as they could further their views just as well In other walks of life. It therefore became clear to me that there was something in the fact of shoemaklng which favors this form of belief. At one time I thought I was on the right track, and that it was the handling and the smell of leather that did it; for material things, especially smells and scents. nave strange efleets on souls, but then all tanners and saddlers would be socialists, and this certainly is not the caae, so I had to give up this theory. There is nothing like going to the root of things, so I set to work to learn how to make shoes, and I came to the very matterof-fact and every-day conclusion that it was nothing more nor less than the leisure shoemakers have to chatter over their work which turns them into discontented politicians; for discontented .they are, as they have not yet got what thay want. Where Horse is Eaten. From the Chicago Newt. in .Belgium, as in omer E/uropean countries, the sale of horseflesh Is becoming a recognized branch of the butchering business, according to Consul McNally of Lileg?. Scattered through Liege are many shops selling horse meat exclusively, a horse head attached to the front of the shop or a sign Indicating the business within. While It Is not forbidden for a meat market to handle both beef and horse meat. It Is quite unusual to do so, dealers carrying their separate lines. When the meat is dressed and exposed for sale the only noticeable difference is in the color, which is of a deeper red and has a coarser fiber than the beef. Those accustomed to est horseflesh are loud in its praise, and declare it to be as palatable as beef, and thst many persons eat horseflesh under the impression that they are eating beef. There is no doubt that horseflesh Is growing la favor. It sells for about half the price att beef or mutton. The dealers In horse meat are most actlva In proclaiming the prime quality of their article, and a campaign of persuasion to now on. They contend that the horse 1b ancient times was held In high esteem; thst the eating of horseflesh was -eommon before the eighth century, and that la China the horse has been eaten for 000 voapfi Tho flrofr ir.iipnnAan naA^vlo ^ V??KM V|AVA*II |>W|/IC practicing hlppohagy were those of Denmark in 1807, when Naipoieon invaded that country. The Germans also attribute that practice in their" country to the same person during the wars of 1815, at which time the food Bupply was very low. The first hippohagic slaughter house was created in Pdussia In 1847, also a year of great famine. In Belgium the eating of horseflesh dates bacK to 1870, from which time it has been increasing steadily.

The choice cbts of horse meat seli for about 20 cents a pound,'while the beef commands about 35 cents. Fish Story. From Tit-Fits. Rawson was going (.long the street os- ' tentatiously swinging a dozen fresh flsh on a string and feeling^ superior to the whole world. He knew that he had been Dvcn ^Uiuiiig uui Ul mr IIBIIUluIlKVr ?, UUE he knew how to explain matters and was happy. "Had good luck, hadn't you?" remarked a friend, coming: up to him mildly. ' Good luck!" he replied, jumping at the opening like a pike at a minnow. "Good luck! Well. I should just say I had. I never saw the flsh bite as they did. From the time I first put my line in till I ; stopped from sheer exhaustion I was | I playing flsh and hauling them In all day." "But you surely didn't spend the whole ' day playing and landing a doxen flsh? Funny, isn't It," added the friend, musingly, "that so many_;;shermen catch flsh in even dozens or half dozens?" I "Who said T caught only a dozenV d?; manded the tisherm.in. overlooking the i Insinuation. "I caught p< ,-enty-four!" "Well. If I am not impertinent, may I aak where are the other sixty-two?"

The Duty You Owe to Others. | We must all realise that this life is full of sorrow, and if you personally have had the good -luck to escape your share of It you are a very fortunate persop. But do not, on that account, allow yourself to grow cold-hearted and unsympathetic to others. Those poor others! Their lot is often so hard?so lonely?so full of misery. We are here to "heal the wounds ar.2bind the broken heart;" and the only way we can do this is by being kind, loving and ! svmnafhoHn ? A few words of love will do more to help a sufferer than money sometimes. For heart sickness Is much harder to help than hunger and poverty. Show interest In others; try to help them; go out of your way to lighten the burden of the heavily laden. Do not hesitate to whisper your kindly thoughts In their ears. Don't pass by on the "other side;" if you are strong, then be merciful. Remember that we all look at life from a different standpoint, and what might appear like a grain of mustard seed in your path to you is an almost insurmountable obstacle to your weaker sister, says Woman's Life. TK? mr.rn .ho < ? *uv>? olio milium llio lUUI'B lieCtiSHliy for you to step in and help her on her way with genuine sympathy and loving sisterly words and acta. Holyrood's Chanel Royal. From the London Chronicle. . Those who lament the results of much of the so-called restoration in our ancient buildings will not be sorry to know that Holyrood's Chapel Royal is to be left untouched, for with that crumbling pile are bound ud many historical memorlM Tn that chapel the beginnings of Anglo-Scottish union were made when at the altar there James IV was united to Margaret Tudor?the "marriage of the Thistle and the Rose." There Queen Mary was twice mated?to Darnley first and afterward to Bot-hwell. Holyrood Palace, as we know it now, was mostly the handiwork of Charles II's craftsmen. James II turned the Chapel Royal into a Romish building: Indeed, he wished to restore Holyrood entirely to Its original monastic purposes. But he reckoned without the dour Scots' temperament and the vestments and ornaments were ruthlessly torn from the chapel and burned by an Edinburgh mob. Suvage Surgery In Africa. j From tlie I-oodon Ereolns Standard. , ' King Behanzin died an easier death than would have bet 1 his lot had he been left to sable surgeons of his native wilda. What is the secret of their success it is not easy to conceive, but savage doctors effect cures in spite of the most atrocious treatment of their patients. One of the party who was bearing Livingstone's body to the coast was shot through the leg, shattering a thigh bone; This is how they treated him: First they dug a pit and buried him In it in such a posture that his head and arras were free. Then *..ey covered the earth about hla legs with a thick laver of mud. Upon this were hearten leaves and graas. to which fire wai applied, directly orer the fracture of the limb. The heat gradually worked down to the wound and the man suffered renewed agonies. After a while he was taken out and held quite fast, while two giants with all their might stretched the shattered leg. Splints were duly applied and the man was pronounced on the way to a complete cure. That was the normal practice successfully followed for this claw of case. Oriein of 81eet>. Front the Poet Graduate. Dr. Salmon studios In Revue de Medeclne the relations existing between sleep and the function of the pituitary .rland. He believes the cause of sleep to be an Internal physiological secretion. The hypophysis (pituitary body) is assumed to play an essential part In the production of sleep. Since the substance of ttits gland Is said to contain bromin. this serves to support the theory that the hypophysis exerts a s'.eep-lnducing Influence upon th? nerve ' center*. The author endeavors to back up his statements by the occurtence of anatomical changes in this organ In various diseases which are associated either with somnolesce or with insomnia. < Kxpressmg upimons.
