NEW YORK, Dec IS. It is probable
that the last market daj of the 5 car will
repeat the record of the past week and
month, that prices will continue to ad
ante, and that the jear will be usher
ed out with its hesc lccl. More, it is
extremely likelj that the flr6t market day
of the new ear will also be full of
strength and advancing prices. Some peo
ple expert a reaction shortlj of scleral
points, and of course they take the most
reasonable Mew, judging the market by
rdinary standards. It Js possible, how
ever, that the upward movement will con
tinue for some time longer, with only
fcueh short periods of recession as that of
Friday.
The failure of the expected reaction to
materialize may be partly attributed to
the continuous taking of profits which
we hae been seeing each day. This Is
one of the best safety valves to so exten
sive a speculation as is taking place at
present. There Is a certain amount of
bald manipulation cMdent in the stock
market, ard it is highly desirable that it
should not be successful to the extent of
encouraging overtrading by weak people.
The irregularity of the market and the
frequent reactions In prices sene to weed
out weak interests and to discourage
reckless buying. A healthy check was
given to the rank extras agance of stock
speculation Immediately following the
November election. The recovery since
that reaction has been pronounced in
many directions, but It has not taken the
aspect of a continuous advance. Frequent
setbacks have occurred in consequence
of profit taking, and the shifting of ac
counts, "which has been a marked feature
of late, tends to preserve the general
stability of the stock exchange fabric
Intrinsic conditions are excellent as
has been said many times before. All
lines of business are in a great wave of
prosperity. The amount of money re
quired to carry on the Increasing volume
of commercial trinsactions has been more
tlii-n adequate.
The plenty of money has been due in
part to the increase In national bank cir
culation resulting from the financial
measure enacted by Congress last March.
There has also been a notable Increase
Jn the country's stock of gold through the
production of domestic mines and receipts
from the Klondike, Australia and, to an
extent, from Europe.
In the Industrial field there has been
during the year a readjustment of values.
That is, the securities of companies based
upon manufacturing enterprises that are
dealt in on the stock exchange have been
scrutinized more carefully than when they
were first issued, and the process of di
gestion has resulted in a noteworthy re
vision of values. That process is still
going on, and should the public view prove
to be too severe or pessimistic In some
cases, that error will doubtless be recti
fied in due time.
In the transportation Industry, however,
there has been steady improvement
throughout the year. Both Wall Street
and the public outside of It have become
co accustomed to transactions of great
magnitude that It is possible that neither
has yet fully appreciated what is being
and has been accomplished in the direc
tion of establishing a community of Inter
est between all of the railway systems
of the country. This means stable and
profitable rates without the Imposition of
undue burdens upon the traffic, greater
economy In operation, and, finally, better
returns to the great army of investors,
both large and small.
The circumstances that have been briefly
touched upon are chiefly responsible for
the recent continuous advance in the
prices of railway securities, particularly
as they tend to ensure the safety of the
Interest-bearing obligations of the rail
ways and foreshadow Increased returns
upon the share capitalization Without
doubt the acceptance of this Mew Is large
ly responsible for the advance last week
In the prices of such stocks as St. Paul
common, Delaware nnd Hudson, New York
Central,. Pennsylvania, Rock Island, Con
solidated Gas, Northwest, Illinois Central,
and other stocks that may be regarded as
belonging In the same class.
There has also been an enormous busi
ness in stocks that have not yet attained
the distinction upon the dividend paying
casts that is enjoyed by those enumerated,
and also In others of a more purely spec
ulative character. A good deal of the
buying Is unquestionably In anticipation of
the extraordinarily heavy January 1 dis
bursements The movement has naturally
extended to the bond market and has re
sulted in great activity at advancing
prices.
These conditions have made the ad
vances already attilned and they promise
a continuance of tLe advance.

The iron and steel trade is looking up
and the prospects for 1901 are promising.
Leading Iron and steel Interests state
that all trade indications point toward a
record-breaking business In the coming
vear, and in consequenco good market
Judges look for better prices for the iron
and steel shares. The prediction has been
made that the preferred shares of the
representative companies will sell at par
earlj In 1901. Federal Steel preferred Is
on a sound investment basis, and so Is
Rt public Steel preferred. The last-named
stock has not et attracted the attention
cf speculators, but it is being quietly ab
sorbed by investors. Good industrial
shares will sell higher because they are
at present unnaturally depressed, and be
cause their actual value Is Increasing.
The ordering of new cars is a safe indica
tion of railway prosperity. Statements
from the American Car and Foundry Com
pany show that all the railroads of the
country are in the market for new rolling
stock, orders involving thousands of cars
coming in dally The railroads have not
been adding much to their mileage in the
last few j ears. The country, however,
has grown up to the mileage and tho roads
have been forced to spend millions of dollars-
on rolling stock in order to handle
the country's prosperity.
Traffic managers of most of the tail
rrads operating between New Yo k and
the Mississippi River agree that the year
Just closing has been productive of the
best results ever experienced by the rail
roads in the United States in any ono
year. Each railroad has had all the busi
ness that it could handle, and with the
each road has received full tariff rates
for Its traffic. This one fact of the ma'n
tenance of regular rates has increased
the aggregate of net earnings of the trunk
lines by not less than $3,000,000. Every
railroad influenced by the authority and
example of the Vanderbilt-Morgan-Penn-sjlvanla
Railroad alliance has realized
larger profits than ever before That there
increased profits have not been distrib
uted In extra dividends Is readily account
ed for by the enormous expenditures that
have been made out of current income
for betterments and new equipment. The
amount of money applied directly from
earnings to the Improvement of railroad
property within tho past vear Is unpre
cedented. The extraordinary volume of
traffic developed by the generally pros
perous business conditions throughout tho
country has made it necessary for every
railroad company to spend larger sums
than usual in increasing its transporta
tion facilities.
The hie professional and the big Invest
ment Interests alike are still buying !
stocks. Mr. Keene continues to express
his bullish views, and It Is known that
his purchases on Saturday were heavy.
The Vanderbllt and Morgan buying was
also conspicuous This is one of the best
evidences possible that the top prices of
the movement have not been retched yet.
The Rock Island purposes entering the
field for Southern California and Mexican
business whether it pleases the Atchison
or not. The acquisition by the Atchison,
of the Pecas Valley &. Northeastern did
prevent-the consummation of plans enter
tained by the Rock Island for reaching El
Paso over this line. Now It is stated that
the Rock Island will build an extension
from Liberal, Kan., to connect with the
El Paso and the Northwestern, which Is
a little line recently constructed, which,
beginning at El Paso, runs northward into
a productive country, but without impor
tant towns. The Rock Island has con
tracted for lumber ties, with which to lay
the road from Liberal to the Southwest.
Survejs were completed some time ago
President Purdy denies that the Rock
Island has purchased any of the sto'ck of
the El Paso & Northwestern, but this may
come later.
The Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy

begin to advance.

Tho largest elephant tusk ever brought
out of German East Africawas recently
sold to an American collector of curios
at Zanzibar for a fancy price It
weighed 270 pounds, and at the current
price for ivory per pound would be
worth about $1,050. The amount paid Is
not known, but It was considerably
more than this figure The American
bought also Its companion tusk.
A native hunter killed the elephant
from which the tusks were taken It
would be interesting to know how riu-n
of the value of the ivory fell to the lot
of the hunter
The enormous proportions of the ele
phant can be guessed wh.-n it is borne
In, mind that he carried more than a

Interesting Dntn From the Ticniurj
Hiirenn of SdiditlcN.
Commercial conditions throughout the

Such a fierce light Is now shed by the

was I to know that the Indian gentleman
who was so submissively followed by
his Indian attendant was my man, espec
ially as not only his clothes and get up
were thoso of a Parsee, but his Jewelry
and effects were Indian too? One morning
a chambermaid In the pay cf the police
told me that the toilet -cover In the In
dian's bedroom was missing and had been
replaced by a new one. That set me think
ing. So on the first opportunity I search
ed his luggage and the secret was reveal

was at once apparent a brown stain the

in an instant that he had upset the bottle

and as I was sure he was not among the

that my man was passionately fond of the
opera 'Carmen.' That evening, attirea in
a spare uniform belonging to one 01 inc

low me to stand In the ranks and pretend

had fled to London, made no effort on
their arrival to hunt him down, content

watch, about four months later, on any
Italian who might dine there. They cal
culated that by then the temptation to
meet a countrymnn .and renew his ac
quaintance with the dishes of the old
country would prove irresistible. Three
months elapsed, and the poor wretch,
weary of hiding, stole from his retreat
and, after passing a pleasant evening at

Considering the vast size of America,
one would think that a fugitive landing in

will tell you that American detectives have
a most extraordinary knack of finding any

(From th.? ew York Sun )
Although a considerable majority of the
members of the New Tork Legislature
represent rural constituencies, and, al
though a majority of the voter;, ol New
Tork State derive their livelihood from
farms or fiom business connected with
farming, the term farmer, since It became
a colloquial name for unsophisticated per
sons, has not been popular for lawmakers.
Members of both branches of the Legisla
ture were chosen this year, tut only two
of them in the senate and only fourteen In
the assembly, out of fifty members In the
upper and 130 in the lower branch, de
scribed themselves as farmers, the other
members from rural districts selecting as
more appropriate other descriptions of
their vocation. Among the occupations
given by such senators-elect are these:
Dealer In real estate, dealer In land, mer
cantile business, and manager. Among
the occupations represented among the as-semblymcn-elect
are. Creamery dealer,
real estate dealer, merchant, miller, pro
duce dealer, vlnlculturlst, brick manufac
turer, flour dealer, oil operator, lumber
dealer, and dairyman
The tendency or legislation in New York
as elsewhere Is to limit the amount of
legislation adopted for the benefit of far
mers and tG allot such mattTs to the care
Of separate departments Thus, in Wash
ington the former Commissioner of Agri
culture is now the Secretary of Agricul
ture, with a seat in the Cabinet, and 13
the executive head of an independent de
partment. In New- York, as in most other
States, there Is a Commissioner of Agri
culture, and he attends to many of the
matters which formerly were made sub
ject to the action of the Legislature. Ho
appoints directors of farmers' institutes,
inspectors of cheese and dairy products,
chemists, sanitary experts, and prosecut
ing attorneys, and within the limitations
established by the statute acts for the
farmers of the State.
The necessity of farmers as Representa
tives In the Legislature is, therefore,
minimized. Farmers, as a rule, do net
make good legislators, although the State
of New York has profited much In the
past by some measures which have had
the solid support of farmer members
The farmer, ns a rule. Is unable to draw
a bill In such shape that It may be adopt
ed by the Legislature without danger of
being declared unconstitutional. A farm
er's phrasing of penal regulations Is often
vague and indefinite, and, as a result,
the bills offered In the Legislature for the
benefit of farmers are drawn either by
lawyers who have many farmer clients cr
by paid counsel of agricultural or dairy
men's societies. These are some reasons
why fewer farmers appear In the Lesisla.
ture now than formerly.

GOLD HOABDETJ BY MISEBS.
Million In Yellow Coin Dlfinniie-nr
Annnnlly From Circulation.
(From the. London Daily MaiL)
The world is full ot millions and mil
lions of long-lost sovereigns. A compe
tent authority has Just completed some
investigations which, he declares, show
that in three year3 the Bank of England
has lost trace of no fewer than 20.000,000
golden coins of the realm. This whole
sale disappearance of the elusive sovereign
has been going on for years. A river of
gold has flcwed unceasingly from Thread
needle Street to all parts of the world, but
It has come back only as a tiny yellow
streamlet. What has become ot the sur
plus in" its wanderings? "Misers" Is the
unpoetical explanation for a great part of
this disappearance. There still exist in this
and other countries people who are un
businesslike enough to hoard up gold and
keep It lying idle by them for the sole
pleasure of knowing It is there, and oc
casionally counting It.
The people of India appear to be par
ticularly iddicted to a habit that Is more
reminiscent of medieval times than of an
age when money is generally saved so that
more can be made with it. In the re
gency of Bombay it is estimated that
12,000,000 golden sovereigns are hoarded.
It that Is the record of Bombay alone,
what Is the full tale for the whole coun
try? China, too, absorbs a vast amount
of gold that never sees the light again.
As a matter of fact, while the whole world
Is searching for and trying to acquire
gold, a goodly part of It appears to bo
engaged in the less thrilling pastime ot
hiding it away.
Great Britain is not guiltless of this
commercial sin. Dotted all over the
kingdom aro graveyards of gold which If
discovered and opened might restore to
circulation a vast amount ot wcal'h at
present absolutely useless. At a spot
about two miles from Herefordshire
Beacon a treasure chest is recorded in
the local history as having been buried
by a greit family once resident In the
district. Bat the money cannot be found.
There is a similar record In connection
with Hulmc Castle, formerly a seat of a
branch of the Prestwlch family. Some
where near Stokesey Castle. Shropshire,
there is believed to be hidden a great
oaken chest filled with gold coins, but up
to the present all efforts to find It have
ended In failure.
