Bar silver, New York 59% 59% Call money, New York 2%®3 2®2% NEvV YORK, Jan. 12.— The nat changes in prices for the day were rather mixed, but with a preponderance of gains. The move ments seemed largely to be the outcome of an organized campaign against the short in terests. One group of stocks after another were boosted, leaving the bears in doubt where the next movement would set ln. The activity ar.d strength was in the gilt edged railway shares and then successively drifted into the Pacifies, the flower stocks and back Into the Pacifies again. Great Northern pfd "made a gain of 7%; Pennsylvania, 4; Jersey Central, 4; American District Telegraph, 5%; Third Avenue, 3: Brooklyn Transit, 2%; Nor folk & Western. Str: Burlington, 1% and the Pacifies 2 to 3%, part of which gains was lest in the late dealings. The iron and steel shares Ehowed a lagging tendency although they too enjoyed perieds of strength. London was again a seller on balance, although arbitrage dealings were somewhat interrupted as the cable worked poorly. The advance in Pennsylvania it was assumed had some relation to a closer re lat'on between Its Eastern and Western con nections. Predictions of a very favoiable December stat cane nt stimulated interest in Burlington. Northern Pacific was strong on rather i.dsfinlte rumors to the effect that some arrangement of their differences with rival companies was likely. The purchases of Jersey Centra:, rumor ha* R, were by in siders in expectation of increased baffle, be cause of new industries recently established along the line. : The extent of recent sales for London ac count is shown by the large borrowing of stocks in this market until the stocks sold arrive from the other side. It ls estimated that fully 150,(100 shares of stock Is new bor rowed here, of wl-loh 15,000 are expected to arrive by Saturday week. Chicago is dis playing gr-jat ln-'.srest in the New York mar ket and it is estimated that nearly a quar ter of the business of the exchange comes over Chicago wires.

The demand was fair. WALL STREET GOSSIP— New York stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert & Son, bank ers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American Bank building, St. Paul. Post & Flagg wire us: "Speculation all day was very Irregular, the industrials being weak and the railroad stocks strong. After great early strength and much activity, the | .market commenced to sell off, when Mr. ; Flower rushed up his favorites, again resort ing to the method which has been so success- | ful over and over again when the market has looked weak, and stiffened prices, but to day the effect was not as magical as it has been, for the close was inclined to be heavy. Sugar was weak agaiu on Mr. Havemeyer's report at the annual meeting yesterday, indi cating a change of policy. Exactly what thi3 means no one knows, but some think it means a reduction in dividends. Manhattan was weak part of the time, but closed with a much better tone. This is accounted for by the fact that a prominent operator is short the stock and is using every means to work it down. Selling at the close was by Laden burg, who probably represents Mr. Keene and all the large room professionals. There ls an enormous demand at the decline, in fact, the support which the market obtains when weak is something perfectly astonish ing, and while this condition exists we can not feel bearish."

EMERSON DISCUSSES COMMIS SIONS BEFORE MERCHANTS AT NEW ORLEANS Tiie Same Letter Can Jost n_ Well Ask for Colii.iicntnentN, Explain PreviouM Salt-jt aud Carry the RemittanceN. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12.— At the annual meeting of the National League of Commission Merchants here today C. C. Emerson, of St. Paul, delivered an address, in which he said: The commission man must know .omethins about everything, and everything about any thing anybody can po2s_>ly ask, any time, anywhere. A foal can ask questions that a wLse man cannot answer, but a commission man must be able to an.; | wer with never fail ing accuracy all kinds of fool questions. He is patiemt above all things. He expects to be abused on general principles, and 13 rare ly disappointed. Thi=- first thing necessary to secure con signments by any method is to establish con fidence and maintain it. To Inspire con fidence we must be worthy of 11. Prompt attention to shipments, replying promptly ti all inquiries, prompt accounting for goods when sold, with full information relative to anything unusual in the transaction, will go a long way towards convincing shippers that you have done your best. The qut-iion of market quotations is also very important. What is the market today? What are the prc«pe-ots? These are th? quoJtione ihat must be answered over and over again every day. How shall we answer them? 1 con tend that we should always report the mar ket conditions fairly ss we see them. It is a temptation sometime? to exaggerate mar- . ket prospects ln the hope of thus scouring consignments. This is wrong ln principle and detrimental in practice. Tt dooms the shipper to di-appolntment from the outset. It is equally to be deplored that :_me al ways take a pessimistic view of the market. In these days of keen competition, quick sales and clo.se margin, the utility of any method ls determined hy its cost. There ars two ways to solicit consignments — by letter (and in this I Include circulars and adver tising) and by traveling men. Which is mo3t expensive? The commission merchant must keep his trade informed of the market. To do this he must neces:-arily maintain a large correspondence. The same letter can just as well ask for consignments, explain pre vious sales, and carry the remittances. Un der tht? system the communication between the merchant and hi 3 shippers must bo more frecjuent thin when through the mcd urn cf traveling men, and lf properly conducted, ought to be equally satisfactory. Speaking for myseif, I have found this mothod of eo-lielting quite satisfactory, and certainly th» most economical. Perhaps this method, im plemented by a traveling man. who makes oc casional trips, would be still more satisfac tory. I have frequently inquired of my neighbors what they considered the cost of doing busi ne. \ and have been surprised to find a wide variation in the figures given. Different ideas as to what should be charged to ex pense, perhaps, account for these variations. A uniform system of bookkeeping and an un derstanding among merchants as io what .hould be charged to expense would, ln my opirion, lead to more uniformity in com missions and better profits. If the expense of doing business ts frcm 6 to 8 per cent. It ! docs not require much argument to con vince the most Indifferent that he will not grow exorbitantly rich in on? life time on S per cent commission. Lk>w eomni!p.«lons are frequently the result of ignr.rance of the cost of doing business. I contend that in per cent is not too high a commission, and I hope that there will be sufficient discussion of this branoh of m> subject to call ou'. a general expression o"f opinion. I contend that shippers are willing to pay 10 per cent on almost every kind of farm produce when the matter is* properly understood by them. I hope we may have the educational benefit of an energe-tle agita tion of this subject. A shipper recently iiaid to me: "When I pay 10 per cent I believe 1 get a fair deal, but when I pay 5 I be lieve I am rolbfbed In grade or price." Cer- I talr. it is that no one can long survive en - commies-tons that are less than the cost of ! doing business without robbing tomebody APPEALS^ fCTBRYAN.

"If he will only advise his folloners to flfjht in the pass and not ln the open," Mr. Carnegie said, "the treaty is certain of defeat. All that I hear Indicates the increase of the opposition ranks, and I am quite encouraged to believe the ratification of the treaty can be defeated. "Accoiding to my opinion, this is the opportune time for those who uppose expansion to do their work. Only a one-third vote is required to defeat the trpaty, whereas, with tlit- treaty rati fied, we will have to secure a majority to make our views effective. -Hence I say this ls the time for Mr. Bryan ar.d other anti-expansionists to mail.; their light.
