NEW YORK , Jan. 26. Bradstreefs review -
view of the New York stock market tomor
row will say :
In spite of Increasing supplies of money
nnd further weakness In interest rates the
speculation In securities has this week been
of a decidedly slow , unlnlercstlng kind.
There was an abundance of more or lens
favorable developments , Including news
that the British force In Natal had ob
tained further advantages nnd that the
London stock market had on this Intelli
gence shown marked relief from the recent
tension to which It was subjected , thoucli
the effect of Mils ivas negatived by the
unfavorable war news which came out on
Friday. There was some buying of our
stocks for London on Thursday , but this
failed to aroiiHO the sluggish spirit of the
market. The real feature of the week has
been the continued Indisposition of the pub-
lie to enter upon new speculative ventures
and the subsequent absence of commission
house business of that nature. It may bo
noted that the demand for bonds Is qulto
fair. In some cases higher figures have
been made for favorite Issues and It Is
also noticed that the buying power In the
bond list has extended to the now and low-
priced varieties , while. In view of the ad
vanced figures for and small Income ; 'iold
upon gilt-edged bonds , private Investors
show a disposition to take In their stead
some of the safe dividend-paying stocks.
Hpeculatlvp attention has been mainly
routined to the traction group of securities
owing to Incidents which seem to point tea
a combine under ono control of gas nnd
street railway facilities In Greater New-
York , or nt least the boroughs of Manhat
tan and Brooklyn. The reconstruction of
\h \ Third Avenue Street Hallway com
pany's tlnnnces by a syndicate nnd the
transfer of a large holding of the com
pany's stock to parlies presumed to bo In
harmony with the plans for an Identity of
Interest In the control of th * properties ,
while not fully appreciated when lii > t an
nounced. IH considered the precursor ' ; f fur
ther Important developments In this con-
no"tior. .
The railroad share lint was neglected In
spite of good earnings by nearly every road
which has reported for the first three weeks
of January. The granger stocks were also
helped by favorable opinions from the wst
about the grain crop outlook. In thn In
dustrial group the reports of possible labor
troubles failed In have much effect uml
expectations about good dividends on the
common shares of the steel companies were
again current. All nf these incidents , or
possible developments , failed , however , to
develop any buying power calculated to
five the market an appearance nf life , and
the renewed case of money seemed almol > '
In render holders of stocks tenacious and
to parting with them nt the present rote of
values.
The unexpected news on Friday morning
that thti British forces In South Africa had
lost the potdtlon they captured from thn
Hnt > rx , with the sharp breaks In consols and
nil HiHKi ; > s of stnck at London , resulted in
declines of a point or less throughout the
active share list at Now York There was.
liowc-ver. no extensive Itnuldntlnn nnd for
eigner" were the chief sellers. At the < lr-
cllnp shnrtt eoverfd and the market under
somewhat discouraging circumstances
showed an appreciable degree nf firmness.

Nothing was known of the kllllni ; until
oome tlmo afterward , when Mr. Forsythc ,
arrived on the scene with his other schooner ,
the Nagarn. Ho was accompanied by Messrs.
Dullock and Doudney , and they , too , were
set upon by the natives from ambush as
the white men rowed ehorewards , using the
rifles taken from the Nlknmarra. Dullock

LONDON , Jan. 2fi. A special dispatch
from Shanghai says the news of the abdica
tion of the Chinese emperor has caused a
tremendous sensation in Japan , where n
strong cleslro In expressed to adopt stringent
measures , as It is believed Russia Is the
leading hand in the coup d'etat.
The dowager empress has dismissed Jung
Lu , generalissimo of the Chinese forces , on
account of his supposed disapproval of the
coup d'etat. Other high officials have been
superseded. Kxtraordlnnry precautions have
been taken nt the viceregal capitals to pre
vent risings. The troops have been served
with ball cartridges.
The Interior of China Is greatly excited
nnd progressive Chinese are begging the
American , British and Japanese ministers
to intervene and restore the emperor to
power.
An official communication received hero
from Pekln says : Pu Chun , who has been
appointed heir apparent to the throne , has
boon given the status of a son ot the last
emperor. The statement that a now em
peror has ascended the throne Is premature ,
although it Is liable the present action is
preparatory thereto.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina spoke
at length of the Industrial growth of thu

orient. Ho said in part :

future you will find in every little town a
glnnory , oil mill and yarn factory , run by
the same. power and combined under one
management. An experienced mill man In
my own country showed me an estimate
for such a plant and figured the prollt at
S3 per cent per annum.
In Iron , steel and other Industries remarkable -
markablo progress has hecn made. It was
conlldently predicted nnd , I fear , hoped by
the New England mjtiufacturors twenty
yearn ago , that the south would never be-
eomo a manufacturing center. The labor
problem , t'.o ' chief predicted obstacle , has
been sa Isfactorlly solved ; Its cheapness
and adaptability have been demonstrated.
I have given attention to this matter and
In .i rough way I would eiy that where
the New England mills pay tl.So a day our
mills pay " . > cents , and thn1 the difference *
In climatic and other conditions enables
our operatives to pet more comfort out of
the smaller rule of WIIKPH.
The south cannot mnnd still and fon-
servatlvely oppose commercial expulsion.
To do so means no go backward toward t'.io
ruinous condition of thirty years ago. T.ie
unexpected and unlntcntluiial acquisition of
the Philippines Is to mark an epoch In the
