NEW YORK , Feb. 2.-Toda.Vs sto <
speculnllon furnished adequate proof th
Increased Interest wan being manifested 1
the public In the market. This supposltli
was based on the oxlenslvo trading In rnl
road fitocks. which comprised propcrll
Im versing n wide area. Professional oper
lors perceiving that support from o ir
mission houses could be rolled on In nn 11
ward movement In the standard slocks , d
voled their energies In this direction , oiut
Ing the speclallles to occupy n M-condni
position In the market. This chnivto
front wns In a measure duo also to the fn
that some of the Industrials , which hi
sustained a substantial rise , showed ov
donees of good realizing.
Recognlllon of the i-ncouruqlng Kcncr
situation and Indlfrt'renco of the local inn
ket lo foreign compllcnllnns wns the pr
mary cause of the revival of outside lute
cst. Important movements appeared to 1
under way by substantial Inlercsts , as I *
day's slrenglh developed In first one groi
of railroad stocks nnd then another mil
Ihc list showed gains runnliiR from 1 '
3's ' points. In connection with the ono
mous buying df the Halllmoro fi Oh
stocks n statement thnt the maimgomoi
had sold JS.GOO.OOO 4 per cent bonds of ll
road and JD.MKj.tini ) of that of n mibMdlai
line to provide Improvements accounted fi
their buoyant rise.
As the tendency of prices bocnm.i iir
nounccd arbitrage bouses took ndvnnt-ii
of the level to unload , tint their offerlni
of 10,001) shares presented no effeelunl ch t
to the current. Long stnndlng shorl llni
In some of the middle grade railroads wei
covered and blocks of 1,000 lo 3OM whan
figured plentifully throughout the list , ll
lerost wan diffused Into a great variety i
stocks and nt times some of the usual
neglected ones vied with the rccosnlzi
leaders In point of nnlmallon. "Ear
operations Indicated that powerful Into
ests were ( Mignged In the metal stocks , i
prices of the minor securities followed
jump of S points In Tennessee Coal lo 1C
This slock suffered nouloly from ronllr.i
lion as the day progressed and ended wll
n gain of but 3H points. Prices of klmlrt
proportion were bettor Fiistnlnod , but n
relapsed from the best n uros. Fluctimtlol
In Third Avenue continued to be of a FCI
national nature , nn early rise to 101 bell
followed by n break to 97 on liquidation I
Interests disturbed by the mcasurou tir
Jrcled to llnnnce the company's Indebtei
ness. A rally to 99S ( ( occurred In Hympnll
with the pronounced rise of the Koner
market in the Into dealings.
Olhcr local utilities lacked feature nrli
fronv the gas securities , which , howeve
did not fully retain a substantial rls
Western railroad stocks gave the llrst Ind
, 'atlon of strength and although Interest
these waned somewhat ns the other iroui
became prominent they ncvortholes he
their extreme rise. Among the high-price
industrials Amerlcnn Tobacco. People
Gas and Sugar achieved n commanding lor
occasionally , but ended with narrow n
changes. Predictions as to the eharncli
of lomorrow's bank slalement were 1111
formly favorable , but the advance stall
tics show that the gain In cash from tl
receipts from the Interior nnd subtreasui
operations were placed at J2.S71.11S , cot :
pared with a net gain In the previous wci
of $6,489,175.
A reflection of the stock market
strength was observed In the bond open
tlons , where the absorption was vei
heavy of the low and middle grade Issue
The market was broad and active , transa
tlons aggregating a pur value of J2.3SO.OC
United States new 4s nnd 5s advanced
nnd the 2s declined 14 in the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's Londr
financial cablegram says : The e.xtren
Idleness which has characterized the ma
kets during the week was again In evUleni
today. Prices began flrm on yesterday
rumors , but sagged In the absence of new
Americans were dull until midday , whc
they became strong on German buying in
closed at the best under the influence <
purchases by New York and Berll

CATTLE The packers hud fourleen load
of eattlo from Kansas City direct , so tha
the actual offerings on the market wer
small. At the same time the dt-mand wa
pretty fair , s-o that the. most of the cnttl
rhanged hands In good season.
Not far from thirty loads of corr.fci
steers were offered for sale. Chicago re
ported u slow and lower market on tha
| kind of cat Mo nnd the general market nr
was slow nnd very uneven. Sellers wer
calling the market anywhere from steed ;
to lOc lower and In some cares more , , jus
at they happened to ! > e fortunate .or un
fortunate In catchlnw on. Some of the buy
er.s were apparently determined to bu ;
their cattle lower and others seemed to hi
willing to pay steady prices for the 'fev
that suited them. For that reason som <
cattle sold at good , steady prices , whili
other cattle < * ihich falleel to find favor ! i
thn eyes of the 'buyers sold lower. Thi
market clofcd slow and lower on r.ll kinds
even the good callle.
The market on cows nml heifers did no
show much chanvc as ccimcarcd with yes
lerdny. The demand was fairly good am
thei most of the offerings changed handi
in good season. Hulls , stage and othei
rough stock sold at just about stendj
prices , the market showing no quotabli

HAY OP Tin : HANDY WOMAN ,
Sliliorr of Activity Itunn the 4'niiiiit
of 1'nrfitliionn ,
The "hnndy woman's" power Is universal.
There Is no limit to the things she can do ,
from decorating a dinner table to mending
clothes and darning stockings. Whatever
needs to be done she cnn do , and flic Is al
ways rcndy for work.
Women send to her at the eleventh hour ,
and It Is rarely Indeed that aho fnlls them.
On ono occasion she wan wired at noon
to find a poor little woman almost In" tears
Intending to give n dinner party thnt even
ing and finding five or six of her most neces
sary china and glass tnble decorations
broken.
There wns no good china shop within
rcnch and the unfortunate hostess was con
templating the dismal failure of her fcs-
llvlly. But the hnndy woman had her wlta
about her. Searching Ihe depleted china
closet she found enough lo make an nrtlsllc
arrangement.
In the middle of the table was plncod an
oblong piece of brocade of a ( * afl grayish
green tint edged with a fluffy frill of chlffpn
to match , nnd on this was a Wedgwood
bowl In thnt soft shade of powdery blue for
which this ware Is famous.
On the four corners of the table were four
small bowls to match. These five pieces
wcro filled with white Jnpnneop anemones
and their dark green foliage. Sonic sninll
heart-shaped trinket boxes purloined from
the drawing room cabinet were used ns hon-
bonnters. A special messenger to a gocd
stalloner's shop brought back a packet of
\Vedgwood menu cards , just to give the fin-
Inshlng touch.
On ono occasion the handy woman hnd lo
crntrlvo out of nothing nn elegant table.
She waa busy in a new house , helping the
tenants get "settled , " when a telegram cntno
nnnoiinclng that a Bovcre , critical and
wealthy maiden aunt proposed dining with
her dear nephew and nlcco that very day.
To refuse her would be suicidal nnd to let
her sit down to anything but a well ordered
dinner would put her Into the worst of tem
pers.
pers.Tho
The handy woman promptly marched out
Into the fields ( the house was In the sub
urbs ) nnd collected an armful of scarlet
berries , some tinted blackberry leaves nnd
feathery grasses. With these and six soup
plates , two champagne tumblers and rome
orange-colored pongee silk she KOL to work.
The silk was rudled up to form n center
piece , then two soup plates , containing the
tumblers , wcro placed nido by side In Ihe
mlddlo and lightly" filled with berrlrs ,
grasses and tinted loaves. Ono long bramble ,
its leaves nnd berries , was "bent " over to form
an arch from ono tumbler to another. The
other four soup plates were piled high with
apples , pears , plums and mils , the rims of
the plates being hidden with leaves.
