MOVHMKXTS OF STOCKS AM ) ItOXDS.
Sennit I vrne * * of 'Market to the Ift-
fluenee of KorflKK Evonifi.
NEW YORK. Jan. 8. The volume of
trade In stocks today was on a small scale
and the disposition was manifest In Wnll
street to nwnit the development of events
before taking on stocks. The sensitiveness
of the market to the Influence of foreign
events was n leading motive. Notwith
standing the downward course of Interest
rales In London and on tin ? continent It
Ii clear thnt there Is need of more money
abroad. Foreign observers of good author
ity offer the suggestion Hint the present
ease of money abroad Is due to artificial
causes on government initiative.
In England it Is evident that the pur
pose of this inntipuver Is to prepare the
money market for placing government
loans nt nn advance. In Germany it Is
designed to strengthen conlldcnce nnd help
out the vast Industrial enterprises which
have been undertaken there. In nny event
the effect Is to draw gold from New York
under pressure nnd to send American so-
curltles homo to market. Thn foreign ox-
change houses assert that the present level
of discount In London leaves no margin
of profit on the special attraction offered
by the Hank of England on loans to be
repaid In gold. The arriving shipments of
American gold are the cause of current
ease In London discounts. How long the
case would endure In face of a cessation
of the shipments is doubtful.
Meantime rates for money nt Interior
points In this country are rising sharply
and It Is a question how long the New
York market could look to that source
to replenish a drain to the London mar
ket. In these clrcumstancpH there IM lit
tle disposition In American llnanclal circles
to hold up prices of yecilrltloH merely to
afford n mnrket for foreign liquidation.
In today's market opening prices worn
well down to or below the London nnrlty
and so long ns arbitrage selling was In
evidence they were allowed to remain
there or nearly so. Lnter In the day there
was a sharp recovery In prices , when the
pressure of the London selling ceased.
This recovery was partly due to London
Itself , which bought baek u few .stocks
pold earlier In the day on General White's
report of n repulse of the Boers nt Lady-
smith.
While there wns no effort to bid up prices
tliero wns good absorption on the reces
sions , some very heavy blocks of prominent
railroad stocks being taken on. New Jer
sey Central was bid up 3 % points on the
Increase in the dividend rate , without nny
sale. Sugar , Brooklyn Transit and some
of the Iron stocks recovered sharply from
early weakness. The demand Inter In the
day In the general list found such a light
supply that prices hardened steadily to
about Saturday's closing level. Net losses
were reduced to fractions where they were
not entirely wiped out.
Dealings in bonds were on n small scale
nnd the tone was heavy , with a few rallies
In sympathy with stocks. Total sales , par
value. $1,300.000. United States bonds were
unchanged In bid quotations.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The war news
was predominant all day. General flntnc K
marked the opening of business , caused by
General White's dispatch that ho had been
hard pressed. In the American department
there was hesitation to begin business , op
erators dreading very low quotations. First
bids were at 1 to 1 % below parity , but
Berlin sold even at that level , although
not so heavily ns on Saturday. London
sold on a small scale nnd no one seemed
to have' ' courage to support the market.
It remained flat until New York prices
were received , when within a quarter of an
hour the best prices of the session were
received. Then they sagged oft until ofll-
clnl confirmation came of General White's
successful repulse of the Boers' attack on
Ladvsmlth. This news caused such a com
motion that business wns almost forgot
ten. In the streets prices rallied to parity.
American shares moved on similar lines
nnd other markets were more or less
neglected , but they recovered .slightly at

CATTLE There Were about a hundred
cars of cattle In the yards this morning
and consequently a fair showing of all
kinds. Hight good beef cattle , however ,
continue scarce , while the bulk of the re
ceipts Is made up of common or halt-tat
Today's market on beet steer ? was not
to tho'llklng of sellers. In the first place
Chicago reported i mean market , generally
lOc lower , and buyers at this point con
sequently were bearish. The result was a.
dull unil dragey market with values as
much as lOc lower on the general run of
the offerings. There were no choice cattle
In the yards , the most of thopo on sale be
ing only warmed up. It was late before
buyers and sellers got down to business
anil the forenoon was well spent before a
clearance was effected.
Cows and heifers were In good demand
and the market was not only active , but
it was also a little stronger. If anything ,
than last week. It was certainly good and
steady. Hulls were In fair demand at just
about steady prices.
There were more stackers and feeders In
the yards than upunl of late , but specu
lators appeared to think that there would
not bo any more In this week from the
way they acted. They were all out early
and snapped up everything on short order ,
paying even stronger prices than last week.
In the language of the yards , feeders are
selling out of sight. Representative sales :

HOGS For the first day of the week
there was an unusually Lirgo run of IIOBH
Ind'catln ' ? apparently that the uuntry Is
satlsilcd with present prices and ready to :
ship , lending operators to look for n largo
run thl < week. Uuyers stnrtcd out bidding
prices that were genernlly Z'sifGe lower
than nt the close of Inst week , $4.2 ; %
< ii4.32 % mostly. Sellers were not willing Io
soil nt those prices nnd as ndvlces from
other points were not bnd , buyers raised
their hands nnd bought the hogs ni prices
that were Just n little ensler than Sntur-
dny'fl mnrket. A good ninny of the
hogs sold at $1.33 , the same nn on Saturday ,
hut the proportion of snles below that
llguro was larger , so that the average for
the whole string wns not nulto so high.
Sonio right good hogs sold nt $1.40 , the top
' being the snmo no nt the clo p of InPt wcM.

A short tlmo ago the Italian colony In
New York gave n banquet to .Marconi , the
famoua Inventor , related the Philadelphia
Post. The formal toasts were given and
answered with customary eloquence.
U was pointed out that Marconi had made
one of the great Inventions of the century ,
and had won everlasting fame. Then the
chairman suld. amid perfect ullcnco :
"Only through Belf-sacrlflce a ml love of

tngea which enabled him to accomplish the

Chnthnm Island , thp v.iluablo pleco o (
niarlno real estnlo for which Undo Sam
la now bargaining with Ecuador , Is to bo
purchased primarily because of Its suitable
ness ns n coaling Atntlon for our wnr ships ,
but nlso In tlio expectation that Its usefulness -
( ness will bo enormously enhanced when , In
the not distant future , the Atlnntle and Pn-
clllc oceans nro connected by n canal. It
will then bo directly on the route to the
southern Pnelflc nnd n foothold there will
hnvo grent strategic ns well as commercial
Importance. The Island la n member of the
famous Galapagos group nnd lies GOO miles
duo west of Olinynqiill. the cquntor running
directly through the little nrchlpelnRo.
There nro fifteen Islands in the group , five
big ones nnd eleven small ones , without
counting many Isleltcs , reports thp Iloaton
Trnnscrlpt. The largest of tbem nil I * Al-
bemnrle , which Is tdxty in I tea in length.
Chnthnm Is flflh In point of lze. Most or
the islands nro In sight of one another , some
of them being scparnted by only eight or
ion miles of sen. They nro fertile nnd
healthful , tlio climate being not excessively
hot , owing to thp remnrknbly low tempera
ture of the mirroumllng waters. The name
Galapagos menna "black turtles , " nnd was
bestowed by the Spaniards in the sixteenth
century on account of the gigantic tortoises
which they found there In astonishing num
bers.
The islands nro barren around their edged
nnd nenr < hu water , the Imiclncapo being
characterized by broken masses of lava
strewn about. In the wet season , 'as vlewi-d
from tlio ocean , they do not appear so com
pletely fertile ; bushes grow up betwecen the
rocka and odd looking cacti develop. However -
over , toward the Interior of the largo mem
bers of the group , the aspect of things he-
comes very different nnd , nsccndlng from
the coast to nn elevation of SOO or 1,000 feet ,
the traveler flmta n luxuriant vegetation. In
thp old craters of the now extinct volcanoes
tlio soil , of decomposed lava , is extremely
rich nnd tropical plant life Is highly dc1-
vcloped. Springs usually occur In these
basins nnd showers nre frequent In the
humid heights.
Geologists sny that anciently the Gala-
pngos Islands were n part of the continent
of South America , but n subsidence of that
portion of the cnrth's crust occurred , nnd ,
ns a result only the peaks of a few lofty
volcanoes now project over the water. The
huge tortoises which lived in that region
sought refuge those of them , that IB to say ,
which were lucky enough to escape deluge
on the tops of the mountains , from which
they were nblo to survey the floods with n > i
Noahlan philosophy. Thus split up Into col
onies they acquired thp traits In accordance
with their environments , nnd thus in the
course of time becnmo rceoKnlznblq ns dis
tinct species , each Island having its own.
Only Alhemarle Island possesses two spe
cies of turtles , and this Is because It Is di
vided Into two parts by a Invn stream Im
passable to the reptiles.
Ono of the most remarkable things about
Chnthnm island Is the presence there of
thousands of pussy cats , every ono of which
is entirely black. Of course they are de
scended from pets escaped from ships , They
live In crevices of the lava near the coast
nnd get a living by hunting for crabs and
fishes. Other domestic animals run wild ,
derived from progenitors brought by vessels ,
and nro numerous on all sides of the islands
of the group. There are wild hogs In droves ,
wild chickens In flocks , wild cattle , wild
horses , wild goats and wild asses , which
have acquired an Interesting habit of sit
ting up on their haunches like rabbits.
By far thc'most remarkable of ( > J1 the ani
mals wore the great turtles referred to ,
some of which reached a weight of GOO or
even 700 pounds. Indeed , there Is authentic
record of ono specimen that tipped the scales
at 870 pounds. One reason why these tor
toises arc interesting is tha < . they are the
only survivors today of nn ancient rnco of
glatit turtles that was conspicuous in the
early part of the tertiary epoch. Unfortu
nately only a few of them are now left , and
before long they will bo wholly extinct. Al
ready nearly all of the very big ones have
been captured and eaten.
It Is reckoned that no fewer than 10,000-
000 of these 'urtles have been taken from
the Islands since their discovery , Unhap
pily for them , their flesh Is exceedingly
good to oat , even surpassing that of the
green turtle , It is said.
The turtles are supposed to bo totally
deaf and take no notice even of the report
of n gun ; but , if made aware of the np-
preach of a man they utter a loud hiss.
