LONDON", Jan. 6. Tho atmosphere on
the Ioudou exchatigu has been clearer
elnco tho beginning of thu yeur than for
a long while past. Tho activity which de
veloped with tho resumption of business
Jnnimry 2 wan Kroatly aided by thu abund
ance of money wlthnvhlch u stringent mar
ket lias recently nnd nuddeiily ticcomo
flooded, Professional operators wcro nat
urally anxious for a rise and did their
utmoBt to foster the boom, but however
good wcro the promise upon which tho
predicted advnnco was hocd, the public
thus far hus been responsive. This hesi
tancy 1h duo cmiullv to the lack of ralth
und to the lack ot cash with which to
peculnle. I ntll the public can bo re
enthuxed thu boom Ih bound to draK. Tho
grratcHt vitality at thu clone of llio Inst
wrK was i-xnumeu uy lvaiurs.
Thli) vltalltv whh based not cn much
upon the genuine liopo of tho proximity of
penco as the belief that the completion of
tho blockhouses would noun render Johan
nesburg nufi! for miner whether tho war
stops or not. There was coiiHlderablo ac
tivity In Delicers on reorganization, but In
iptiservntlvo opinion the current quota
tions aro quite, riH high ns thu reorganized
prospects warrant. It Ih alleged In soma
quarters that much of thu buying of
iJelleern has boen on American account.
Tho American section of tho Stock ex
change showed little actual business.
American quotations perfunctorily follow
New York prices. There has been much
talk of tho account hnvltiK been over
renched In thu Tutted Stolen that Investors
hero have Brown cautious.
Topper continues to bo un unsolved equa
tion. In spite of the talk of a further cut,
It In apparecnt Hint substantial Interests
hero have sufficient money and faith to
buy liberally on every decline, so n serious
break Is not likely unless there aro un
expected developments In tho United Htatos.

STOCK MARKET ADVANCES
Miontr Inside Interests Tnke Hold
mill I'nref the 1'rlcrs
Up.
NEW YOriK, Jan. fi. (Special.) Henry
Clows, head of tho banking houso of Henry
Clown & Co., reviewing the conditions of
Walla street, says:
In spite of holiday Interruptions and ap
prehensions of tight money; wo havo had
a fulrly active nnd advancing stock mur-
ket. Strong Insldo Interests havo taken
hold of tho market nnd under their power
ful support pi Ices were hound to advance.
Thoro was no unfavorable news except
what had been already discounted, con
sequently, there was llttlo hindrance to pro
fessional manipulation. Tho principal stimu
lus to a bull movement was of course an
ticipation of tho usual January Investment
demand and the largo dividend disburse
ments at this period. Whllu tho latter
caused a temporary derangement of tho
money market, they aro generally regarded
ns a hull argument for tho reason tint a
considerable portion llnd their way back
to Wall street for Investment purposes.
This year January dividend payments aro
larger than usual In spite of the decline
In Industrial dividends. Our rallro.uls aro
Mill onjoylng a degreo of prosperity far
beyond what was over anticipated, and
this fact alone Is sufficient to hold values
ut their present high level and glvo tho
professional trader a chancu for an upward
turn. So far, however, thu outside public
Jiavo shown llttlo disposition to enter thu
market. Such of them ns have not been
bitten by tho collapse In copper ure In
un exceedingly cautious mood; they recog
nize that values are already very h!ph
and that a bull markut forced at this tlmo
would very likely bo a selling movement in
disguise. It seems very Improbable. there
fore, that tho present attempt to Interest
tho public will succeed, and prudent com
mission hou'es are taking a cautionary at
titude. Tho exceptional strength of tho
coal stocks served to stlmuluto npeVulatloti,
especially ns there was some Justification
for ii rlso In tho Heading Issues. Thu latter
huvu long been clarsed among tho low
grado Issues for reasons that oru now
ancient history. High prices for coal and
a largo demand for that product havo, how
over, effected nn Important change In the
prospects of .theso securities, to say noth
ing of the early .restoration- of voting
power to tho Heading. Doing among tho
most baokwnrd shares on the list, thu rise
lu these issues have boon moro legitimate
than, other movements In the market.
As for the outlook In ISX12. It is certainly
satisfactory and hopeful, but less so than
a year ago. Prices of both stocks nnd
commodities am very high; so hlch as to
materially check buying power nnd re
movo nil basis for legitimate singulation
or anticipation of futuro wants. The busl
liess situation is good; yet It Is spotty com
pared with tho beginning of 1901. Tho Iron
trudo Is still enjoying a most extraordinary
boom and promises to continue, in this
courso for somo tlmo to come. Its chief
basis Is tho demand from tho railroads,
which, ns explained in previous advices,
aro not only overtaxed with the handling
of freight, but are passing through a pro
cess of reconstruction involving heavy
orders for rails, bridges, cars anil locomo
tives that vdMld bo likely to continue, even
should tho rush of freight nbtTto somewhat.
For somo time to como tho railroads will
bo obliged to spend u largo part of tholr
surplus .earnings In this direction, rather
than In Increased dividends; and It Is raro
good fortune for railroad managers that
theso Imperative changes can bu paid out
of earnings, rather than by Issuo of new
Rccurltlt).', which would otherwise have been
tho cii3u. Experts nay that tho end of the
present activity In freight trafllc is not
yet In sight; tnat wo are In for several
months' additional good business. We trust
tills will provo true, but wo Hro now at
th time when a reduced corn movement
will bo felt .inl tho sevoro winter promises
to cause moro or less Interruption. Outsldo
of the iron undo there Is no abnormal ac
tivity and values often show a sagging
tendency, High prices hlivo stimulated pro
duction and checked buying, so that soma
Hort of natural readjustment seems neces
sary. In this connection It is Important
to ,wutch the workings of the trust cxprrl
menu Theso organizations exert n power
ful control over prices, which If used In
.tlia samo fashion as in copper will produce
corresponding .results, Those who control
these trusts nnd have securities which they
would like to sell may easily bo tempted
to hold prices at artificial levels, to dam
up tho natural forces if supply and do
miind, until such schomos collnpto froim
Inherent unsoundness. Thn trust systeTii
appears to have worked very smoothly '
under prosperity, and it will bo Interesting
to watch Its courso when tho markets be
gin 16 moyo in a downward direction, as
thoy certulnly will lu duo season. Thoro
Is a vast mass of theso securities In tho
market undigested, and they will bo the
first to foul tho effects of reaction, '
lhe Immediate outlook for tlw market Is
hopeful. Easier money, which may bu ox
pocted In a faw days, and tho nntlclpitnd
Investment demand will undoubtedly be
used as a bull urgumuut. As a result, wo
shall probably have a good trading market
for a spell, during which wo should advlso
prollt-taklng upon all pronounced rnllles.
There nro still rumors and ruihors respect
ing various Important railroad denh, which
must havo on Important Influence upon
values. In this connection litigation re
gardlng tho Northern Pnclllc merger will
have a Hlgnlllcant bearing. An adverse
decision might not prevent inn object that
could bo uttained by other legal methods;
but it would cause delay and idlsuppolnt
meat which would unquestionably affect
thu prices of other securities now tinder
the sway of community of Interest and
merger plans.
I extend tho compliments of the season
to all my readers and congratulate them
upon a year of great prosperity and upon
huvlng been witnesses at tho launching of
tho most glgnntlo business enterprises In
tho world's Tilstory. The great consollda
Hons in the Industrial world and the har
monization of Mist Interests In tho rallwav
world surpass nil precedent. Ab n partl.il
solution ut least of Brent economic prob
lems they hold forth great promise. It Is
something to have lived in stirring times
and tuken purt In great movements. I wish
you all 11 very happy Now Year and a
large share of tho prosperity yet In store
for us all.
Cloth .Market.
MANCHESTER, Jan. 6.-TI10 cloth mar
uet during tho Inst week was almost with
out feature, nnd the holiday atmosphere
remained undlspellod. There was a fair
eastern cloth Inaulry. but it was dlfncult
of negotiation, and few,orders wero placed.
Bonw odd lots were sold in China. The
makers nfisatccns aro struggling hard for
higher figures, and severnl minor outlets
uppenr to tuijipiilthy. Huyer and sollers
ore carefully watching cotton receipts, but
aro not anxious to opernto largely. The
Impression apparently prevails that the
crop movement In tho United States will
slacken prices and bring out cotton. Little
business was done and merchants did not
seem to have muny orders. Home users
on American nccouuts wore very cautions,
confining their purchases to their Immcdlato
wants. Tho tendency of prices was In favor
of American buyers.
BOURSE MAKES IMPROVEMENT

Rlnnlntr of Venr,
MERLIN, Jan. 5. Tho bourse begins tho
Ufw year with a marked Improvement In
all departments and It Is the general opin
ion that n considerable bull movement has
commenced.
' Favorable, factors during tho last week
wero tlx eae of the money market, the
mining boom In London, the strength of
tho Vienna bourse, the utterances of Presi
dent Koch of the Helchsbank upon the
German business situation nnd the reduc
tion of freights over Prussian railroads lu
ifon exported from Gorman ports, nnd,
finally, thu reports on the American Iron
and copper markets. All tho German Mate
loans wero heavily bought as Investments,
tho quotations on these securities rising
until yesterday, when thu preference for
iiiuuniiiuiH caused government securities 10
wruKtm, milieu interest was also shown In
curtain foreign rentes, especially Spanish
and Argentine rentes. The obligations of
1110 Anatolian and Italian Transvaal rail
ways were very active, but American rail
way snares were qtlllo neglected, Shares
of tho ocean steamship companies nttrncted
llttlo attention during the week, but ad
vanced moderately. Irons wero very strong
at tho week's end, as a result of the an
nouncement of the reduction of stocks itnd
through reducod production, diminished Im
ports and Increased exports, as well as
numerous other Indications of an Improve
ment in thu Iron situation, which wero
partly contradicted by reports of vyorso
conditions. '
Thn Vosslsche Zeltung already warns .the
public against n too optimistic view of tho
"',' 'i'.""!1"' which it says is still very
nnd. The bourse .rennrtn Imllnntn flint n t .
Mders havo begun .speculative buying In
Iron and coal shares. Yesterday all tho
Industrials were In strong demand and
many advnnced 10 points during tho week.
These latter Include Iron and coal shares
Him inp obligations or machinery nnd
Chemical roneorns.
During tho Inst week tho money market
TP. ,t"cmciy easy and tho press predicts
that the Helchsbank will mako nn early
icuuvuuii hi uiu rmo oi discount, money
has been heavily offered since the new year.

Success. ,
OMAHA, Jnn. I.
Traveling salesmen for local jobbers and
manufacturers uro once more on thu road
uftcr thu holiday recess and according to
all report they nru meeting with much
better success than .anticipated. Just lit
this season there Is, of course, consider
able tendency en tho part of retailers to
clean un what stock thev have on hand
and besides that they have hardly finished
invoicing and for that reason a good muny
merchants aro not buying as freely as they
will In n week or ten days from now. Tak
ing everything Into consideration, however,
Jobbers are greatly pleased with the busi
ness outlook for the coming yinr and are
predicting n good, healthy, brisk rnitrxet
for sonfe time, to come.
It hns been a long tlmo Rlnce tile local
market has been so free from price lliictu
ntlons as it was last week, In nct, It
may bo said that there was not a single
important change In any line. Th" general
tendency seemed to bu to hold prices steady
until thu year's business Is fairly well
under way As :i general thing Jobbers and
manufacturers do not plum very heavy
orders tli first week or ten dnvs if the
now year, so 'that thu true condition of
the market, Is hardly known, Those who
ought to know, however, seem to have u.
good deal of confidence In futuro values
and do not look for any very radical
changes for some tlmo to come.
Grocers A him I Stendy.
Tho new year is starting out In n very
satisfactory manner bo fur as the grocery
trndu Is concerned. Traveling men fur
local houses havo only been on the road
n few days, but, nevertheless, they niu
Rending lu n flood of orders. It seems that
grocers out through the country cleaned
out their holiday stocks lu good shape and
as there is a good steady demand for all
staple lines, there Is no prospect ot much
letup In the wholesale trade.
The mnrkct bus been itniisiirilly iiufnl n
far ns changes in quotations are concerned.
- n- mihui niiiiAt'i in 111 iiriiuiiciiny UIU HttlUU
position It was a week ago. That Is true
of both raws and rcllned. Canned goods
are also unchanged, but there is a very
firm feeling on com and tomatoes. Those
who nre In a position to know aro pre
dicting higher prlnes nt no very distant
date.
Dried Crults arc irolni: Into rmisumiitlon
nt n rupfd rate, owing to thu cold weather,
out tne market has scarcely recovered as
yet from the rush of the holiday season.
As soon as retailers get their stocks
cleaned up a big demand Is loukcd for.
rarinnceous goons aro also unchanged.
Beans and oalmcnl aro both sclllnir In
practically the same notches thoy were a
week ago, but the market Is brisk and in
a good, -healthy condition.
CliniiKcn In KrrlKM Itntrs.
Local hardware men nre atlll l.ii.v In.
Voicing their stocks ntul iiu-thtr In ft r i i v 1 1
of bus ness they nro meeting with consider
able dltllculty. Not as many orders aro
coming In as aro expected a week from
now. but still there are moro than usual
at this time of year, which Is tnkin ns un
ndlcatlun of tho healthy condition of trade
in uiu couniry. Traveling men arc now
making their usual rounds and llnd that
stocks in thu country aru not what would
be called heavy and for that reason they
are predicting a very nice trade to set In
within thu next week or ten days.
Present indications nro that theru will
bu a few changes In prices nt this point,
owing to n readjustment ot freight rates,
It Is, of course, a well known tact that
several lines of goods havo been selling at
a lower prlco In this market than tlio mill
prlcss would Justify, owing to thu some
what demoralized condition of freight rales.
uiu way inings iook now, nowover, Jobbers
uiu in 1 1 in (.pinion iinu rnies will bo
slrlctly maintained In the futuru and for
nun. rrusur. such lines as wire nnd nnlls
will probably be marked up within tho next
few duys, so that thu selling prlco here will
bo In lino with the quotations at tho vari
ous mills. Outsldo of the changes that will
bo brought about by this readjustment
thoro Is practically no change In thu inur
ket worthy of mention. Tho Iron und steel
iiiarKei is in a goon, neaitny condition and
Indications aro that it will remain that
way for somo tltriu to come. Tho demand
seems to bo fully equal to tho supply und
a lively market Is predicted.
l)r; Goods n Trllic Uulel.
The dry goods market is not exactly
br sk. owing to the tact tliut traveling
sulesmen aro Just getting sturted otter
thu holiday yucatlon. They will practically
ull bo out, however, within thu nuxt lew
ilays, bo that a great Improvement is
looked for this week In thu vouimo of
business. Hetutlcrs enjoyed uu elegant
holiday trade n.nd that being the cuse it
s thought they will be ready to plncu
liberal order ior spring as soon us they
are given tho opportunity. Spring lines
are coming lu at a rupiu rate and in a
pnort time Jobbers' siccus will practically
be complete. It is expected thut earlv
buyers will begin to come In very shortly,
so thut Jobbers nro muklng a- grout effort
to get their stocks In shupo. Tno work of
shipping advance orders on such lines as
hosiery, underwear, shirtwaists unu guous
of that character is well under way. bo
much of that stock hus already been sold
thut wholesalers ure anxious to get boiiio
of the urders tilled und out of tho way
It will bo remembered that lust soring
there were moro buyers on tho market than
over before up to that tlmo und last fall a
corresponding lucre-use, In tho number or
visiting merchants was noted. In view of
the growing popularity of this market with
western merchants Jobbers uru looking Ior
another big Increase and for thut reason
ure making great preparations for a record
brenklng house trade.
There is no market news this week
worthy of mention. Practically all niios
nro in thu same position they wero .i weuk
ago nnd tho whoio situation is described by
calling the markut active and In a gooa,
hoalthy condition. Tho.su who aru posted
aro very contldent that the maiKut will
continue satisfactory and that merchants
may buy lree,ly without fear of any drop In
values.
Not So Active.
Tho demand for footwear last wir n.o,.
not quite ns brisk as it was when tho
weather was softer. There was, however
a good, steady demand owing to the fact
that merchants sold out an Immense
nmount of their stock during the previous
two weeks. The wcuther Is cold enough to
make all such lines vas nrctlcs, felt boots
legglns and German box movo freely!
though a llttlo moru snow and slush would
of course, help matters out considerably..
Wholesalers, however, are well uatlsllod
with tho trade thoy havo had so far and nil
thoy usk for is that the remainder of tho
winter be normal,
Leather goods aro also moving out fully
us well as could bo expected nt this tlmo
of the year and Jobbers nro all counting on
n very successful spring business, AM in
dications at tho present time seem to be
favorable und they hopo to break oven last
year srccord on snles of spring, lines.
Fruits nnd Produce.
The demand for fruits nnd vegetables was
not very largo lust week. OrderH wero
mostly rather light, ns dealers as well' as
consumers seemed to huvu considerable
'stock left over from Christmas, That sur
plus, however, is getting well cleaned tin
and a good brisk market Is expected for
this coming week.
So far ns prices ar concerned thoro In
nothing to be said. Thoro was hardly n
change all tho week and quotations nro
now nbout the snmo ns they wero during
tho holiday season. .
The poultry market has been In very
satisfactory condition. Tho supplj1 wns
none too henvy, so that prices hold firm all
the week. Commission men aro of the
opinion that poultry will command .good
prices for some IIUIq time, as they do not
think there will bo more than tmotigh to
meet tho eyery-day demand. .Tho prices at
which good stock Is selling will bo found in
another column.
Tho receipts of eggs Increased somewhat
last week, but the bulk of tho stock now
icomlng forwnrd Is limed nnd salted. Strictly
fresh eggs are scarco and thn market ilrm.
There has been no ciinngu In butter since
last report, the demand nnd supply run
ning about oven.

CATTLE Thero wore not r.nuugh cattle
on sale toduy to make n market, hut for
tho week thu supply hns been of rather
liberal proportions for this tlmo of tho
year. Nearly double the numbur of cattle
arrived this week than were offered last
week and a good increase Is nlso noted over
the corresponding week of last yenr.
Not 11 Very In mi; nercentnuc of tho re
celpts this week consisted of cornfed steers
and as tho demand on tho part of packers
was liberal the markut ruled active nearly
nil 'thn week, with the tuiuleiicy of prices
upward. Tho demand seemed to bo best
for the clieimer urudes and It was on that
ciass 01 cat tm mm tno improvement in
prices was thu greatest. Thero Is very lit
tle change In the quotations on the better
grimes, 11 was also iiotlcenDlo that henvy
cattle did nut sell us rcudlly us those of
medium weigm. i-ncKers seem to want
cuttlo weighing from 1,100 to 1,.W, while
thoy aro not ut all anxious for thoso weigh
ing nrouuii i.ww pounds, snort red cuttlo
sold largely from JI.60 to J3.00. Medium
grades of cr.ttlo brought all tho way from
J6.00 to J6.00 nnd thu choicer grades could
bo quoted from J6.00 to J7.00.
Tho cow market wus also in good shnpo
and particularly was that true of the trado
on dinners. Tho demand was henvy and
prices Improved fully 15c nnd In some cases
considerably moro. The better grades of
cows, nowever, are prooauiy not to exceed
10c or 16r higher than they wero a week
ago. A choice bunch of lonir fed enwa
would bring from JI.C0 to 14.76 and If of
good enough quality would probably reach
J5.00. Choice helfern could safely bo quoted
us high as J5.25. Tho bulk of tha cows
coming to mnrkot, however, are selling
from $2.73 to J3 76. Cn liners sell largely
from J2.25 to J2.75. '
mills huvo also sold freely all the week
and tho market 'nay bo quoted strong.
Tho same Is true of calves, which are sell-
nig as nign us M1.ZI1. few slags havo been
offered, but they hnvo also commanded
strong prlcos all tho week.
Stockcrs and feeders have been vory
scarce all tho week and as tho demand
wns fairly liberal prlcos Improved fully 15
(ffSoc. A choice bunch of yearlings or of 2-
ycur-uum wouiii prooauiy sell as high ns
jl.50. Even tho less destrnblu grades have
sum ireeiy mis wock srt strong prices,

anxious foe supplies, nnd w theru were
only a few 011 sale trado wiii fnlrlv nntu-n
at tho advance und everything wns out of
nrsi nunuH in goon season. Tho hogs
weighed considerably moro todnv tlmn tinw
did yesterday, which makes the mnrkt
look higher, when compared with yester
day, than It really Is. Tho bulk of the
heavy weight nogs sold from J6.40 to J6 65.
Medium weight hogs sold mostly from $676
to J6.35, nnd tho lighter loads went from
J6.20 down. There was very llttlo chango

SHEEP There were a few sheen In thn
yards this morning, but tlmv were mnstiv
sold to arrive, so that a fair test of tho
maraci was not mane. Tho supply for
thn week hns been much hoavler than it
was pint week and nbout the samo us for
tho corresponding week of last yeur. The
demand has been of liberal proportions, and
as a result prices havo advanced sharply.
Roth fat slu-ep and lambs may safely bo
quoted 25c- higher than thoy were a week
ago, Each day's offerings worn picked up
In good sen soil and there did not seem to
be enough on snlo to supply the demand.
Then- huvo been so few feeders on sale
thin week that It Is dllllctill to tell much
about tho market, but those who ought to
know say that anything of desirable, qna.
Ity would sell considerably higher than the
quotations of a week ago.

MANY FORTUNES MADE. -
Many nrguments have been put forth nii
to the real causu of tho Immensu wealth
or John D. Rockefeller nnd other great oil
magnates. It Is easy to iraco thu founda
tion of their great wealth. Not many
years ago oil wus discovered in tha siuto
of Pennsylvania thu How became so great
thut It was Impossible, to tnko euro of tho
output, as tho mnrkutntito facilities wero
not great enough, consequently tho prlco
of stock in tho different enterprises re
mained at a normal figure. Hut fur-sighted
men like Rockefeller, Payne and other
bought up as much stock as they could at
these low figures, and when American In
genuity supplied the marketnblo facilities
tho stock shot skyward, laying thu foun
dation for the fabulous wealth of those
multl-mllllonulroB. The same, exact con
ditions nru now In ovldenco In tho Honu
mont, Texas and California oil fields, and
thero is 110 doubt in tho world but that his
tory will repeat Itself. Possibly tho most
