' STOCKS AXI1 IIOXDS , I'rlcru Sconi KntlreljSnlmrrrlptit ( n Movement on l.onilon l\pmiiRr. | NBW YORK. Jan. 2l.-Prlces on Hip New York Stock exchange seemed entirely sub servient to the movement of prices nit the London exchange. The first sales of the International stocks showed sharp pains In I response to the rise achieved earlier on j the London exchange. These opening gnlm i conform closely to the net gains for the I day. It seemed Impossible to achieve any i movement of prices after the opening and the almost stagnant market drifted aloiiK at about the opening levi 1 for the rest of the day. The gains were rlosely proportioned tioned to the previous day's losses and probably measure the rectification of the short contracts put out yesterday on the exaggerated rumors of British reverses In South Africa. The whole movement can not IK said to b moro than yentlmoi'tiil. ns HIP actual news of the day failed to throw nny light on the Hoer war situation. In the lists nf Industrials and specialties where the properties concerned would feel no effect either from success or defeat In South Africa the movement of prices fol lowed sympathetically that of the railroads. Dealings In this ileparlment continued much larger than those In the railroad de partment , but were strictly profe-Monal. The only reason discernible for the advance In prices was that there were declines yes terday. A considerable demand developed later In the day for American Steel .t Wire , whleli carried It up an extreme 2:1i : and lifted other iron and steel stocks In sympathy. The. slocks of properties oper ating New Vork nubile utilities also made a continued show of strength. News bear ing on the Industrial outlook was all favor able. St. Paul's third weekly statement , leading the returns for that period , showed an Increase of over $ S9KH ) over last year's unprecedented level of earnings. There were coed third week statements nlmi from Wabash , Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western. Less assurance was felt with regard to the financial outlook. Money rates hard ened a fraction In London nnd Herlln and there was a sharp fractional rise In sterling exchange. Quotable rates for money were not changed In New York , as funds eontlmie to accumulate In new banks. Hut the rate of accumulation shows u considerable fallIng - Ing off from that of last week. A further reduction In the Bank of Hngland rate of discount has been anticipated , but whether today's hardening money will result In dis appointing this expectation remains to bo seen. The absorption of railroad bonds con tinues on a moderate scale but to a les sened extent , owing to the smaller Inflow of money. There were some weak points in the list , making the market Irregular. Total sales , par value , $1,240,000. United States new 4s , 3s , coupon 5s and old 4s , rou- pen , declined U and old 4s , registered , H In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : In the absence of news from the seat of war today there was complete stagnation In the markets here. The settlement was easy. Hankers charged 3'4 per cent for money und brokers were oversupplled. The American con tango opened at 4 per cent , but soon eased to S'.i , the rate on St. Paul being only 3 per cent. Americans advanced ' , < ; point on an authentic rumor of a victory at Snlonkop , but relapsed on sales from New York. The Bank of England bought 21,000 gold In bars and lost JC80.COD to India. The latter shipment was considered light. Cable trans fers commanded much lower rates than last week. Indicating that the Indian gold demand has ben exaggerated. The week's net outflow of specie was .C59.000. It Is re garded as certain that the bank rate will 1)3 reduced to I per cent tomorrow If news of a victory In Africa should bp received.

The markoras a whole was In fairly good shape and prices paid did not show much change as compared with yesterday. Fat cattle were In fair demand , but His most of the offerings were on the half-fat order and not of the kind to awaken much enthusiasm among buyers. On peed cattle the market was fairly active and the most of the offerings changed hands early. The common kinds were a little slow. The prcM ! ( paid were just about the same as prevailed yesterday , that In , It was a steady market. Cows and heifers were In good demand and the market was steady at least , possi bly strong on the moat desirable klndr. . Most everything that could be called de sirable changed hands early In tbo morn- Ing. Bulls , stags , etc. , sold at Just about steady prices. The same was true of good venl calves. The fresh receipts of stockcrs and feeders wore small , but so was the demand. Some of the cattle which Just happened to suit a buyer brought steady prices , but the gen eral feeling , especially among the specu lators , was lower. There were a good many stale cattle In the hands of speculators for which the expected demand had failed to materialize , and until they might be able to unload they did not appear at all anx ious to take on any great additional load. The feeling was that had there been a good liberal run the market would have bfon de cidedly lower. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. STEERS AND HEIFERS. HOOS Today's market was Wie lowci than the high time curly yestndny morn Ing , or 2'i'i/he lower than yesterday's aver age market , or about like yesterday's close Common and trar.hy mixed loads were tin worst sufferers and were weak even a ( yesterday's close. While reports from Chicago cage were sueli as to give bikers a ROIX excii.e for pounding the market at this point the rtcelpts here were too light am the demand too good for buyers to hnnf out very long , and the result was a fiilrl } active mnrket at the decline noted. 1'ht general run nf pretty good mixed load : mill at it.M , but the common loads Imil t < RII nt a less price. On the other hnnd semi right good heavy hogs brought J4.iWTfl.fA \esterday the big bulk nf the hogs sold nl ? .57Viii4.1)0 ) , with a J4.72H lop. It will be noted from the table of average prices above that the hogs toJay sold b.icl < nbout where they did at tincioso of lasl week , the advance of the tlrst of the week having been all wiped out. Representative sulcs : clally as compared with the liberal runs ot yesterday and the day before. The demand was coed nnd buyers picked up everything In a very short time at stronc prices. Some good western Iambi Fold nt $5.90 and west ern wethers and yearllngr hrought $ ( .55 , Receipts nt CMcngo have been large thl ? week , hut that does not appear to have any effect upon the market at this point. The buyers here want the stuff and appear In be willing to pay good firm prices. The result H that this market Is trong as compared with ether marl-p'i. So far this poason t'e ! rdn ! hart been lleht hern ns the sheep In this section nf country have hardly been fit enough to kill out well , but they are getting In slmpe to run now and larger receipts are predicted for this market.

VleM ntul Prediction * of Annoclntn AR-soclntc Justice Urewcr of the supreme court of the I'nltcd Slntps spokp recently In the Mount Pleasant CoiiRregatlon.il church , reports thp WnshlnKton Post. Ills FUhJc.n was "The Twentieth Century from Another Viewpoint. " A large audience lis tened to the scholarly discourse. "In these closing hours of the nineteenth century ninny are speculating as to the twentieth , " said Justice Ilrcwer. "It Is the thcmo of ninny a discourse. On every hand we hei > r prophecies of greatness and glory or of disaster nnd gloom. "Tho future Is a sealed book , whoso * myMcrlcs no man can read with the assur- nnce which comes of after events , The crm of prophecy has passed. And yet the lamp of the past casla some light Into the future. Wo may discern the signs of the times. Wo may perceive the trend of human events. And first 1 predict that the twentieth cen tury will be noted for greater unity In Christian life. The present century has been ono of denominational rlva'ry and strife. The next will he one of Christian unity. It Is not unworthy of notice that the ancient pnnnles. Catholicism and Protes- tautlni , are drawing closer together. Tha prelates and members of the two churches do not hesitate to affiliate In a thousand forms of labor. "Tha time Is past whpn the Protestant should look hack upon the horrors of the Inquisition , and denounce Roman CatholicIsm - Ism on account thereof , or the Catholic , on the other hand , to look back at the burning of the witches , or the persecution of the Quakers , nnd denounce. Protestantism thero- for , but pach should shake hands and join In a common effort to further the cause of a common Master. "Again I predict that the coming century will be noted for greater economy in Chris tian work. Consolidation has become ono of the significant facts of commercial en- tcrprlfie. There Is In this , If nothing else , a means of greater economy. The nations are feeling- the spirit. The small states are consolidating Into larger ones. Russia , Franco and England are reaching out the grasping hand to appropriate to themselves territory all over the world and if this continues along the same line It Is not unreasonable to expect that the coming century -will sen the world with but half a dozen , or such a matter , of great na tions , within whose territory and subject to whoso dominion are all the races and peoples of the earth. We must learn to do business as the business man does. Ho eliminates every unnecessary expense. "Again , I think the Twentieth century will develop ft clearer recognition of what religion Is and bow Its growth , can bo moat surely promoted. Whether evolution bo In all respects scientifically true , It Is true that civilization is progressive. Humanity has been steadily through the centuries moving onward from barbarism to the pres ent hclchts of civilization. No century has witnessed such an advance as the present. Looking backward on the progress of Christianity wo notice two marked features. Ono is the struggle about creeds. "Taking the declaration that he that be- llovcth shall be saved and he that belleveth not Is condemned already , the necessity of belief and what to believe has been among tbo great thoughts of the eighteen centuries. As a man thlnkcth , so Is be. Creeds have their place and value. The clearer , the stronger , and the more profound one's convictions the more earnest and zealous bo Is apt to tie. But something more than creed is essential to religion. U Is not a question of Intellectual advance ment so much as ono of moral growth. So religion that spends Itself In creeds and dees not ripen Into character and the rich ness of a pure and lovely llfo is like a barren fig tree covered with leaves , but fiultlcss , "So I look , In the coming century , to eo not merely a clearer conception of th fundamental truths a putting behind us na of little significance the minor differences of creed and doctrine but also a keener and moro just appreciation of the means by which alone humanity can become fit to enter the new paradise which ono day shall dawn upon the rarth.
