The New York market for stocks yesterday did not differ materially from that of Thursday. The aggressive bull mood of the speculative world continued in full force, and all the large professional operators ware buyers of stocks. That they were reinforced by a marked addition of outside interest in the market was shown by the large number of orders in speculative stocks placed through commission houses. There was also a continued absorption of bonds of all descriptions, very heavy orders being placed in the high-grade issues as well as in the speculative issues and moderate grade bonds. The pressure for funds for reinvestment, which has been released by the January 'vidend and interest payments, was obvious. There was also a marked weakening of the rates for money, notwithstanding the lively awakening of speculation. Efforts Were made by the banks and money lenders to keep the rate for mouey as high as 3 per cent. Loans were, in fact, placed at 3% per cent., but the rate sagged off to 2 per cent., and the last loan of the day’ commanded 2% per cent. Owners of money were also lively bidder# for commercial paper. This served to stimulate the speculative furore which seems to have broken out. London was quite a large buyer in the New York market of several of the international stocks, notably Union Pacific and Louisville & Nashville. The Vanderbilts continued to hold the leading place, on the reported determination of the controlling interests in these properties to see traffic rates maintained. There was also a renewal of old reports of a combination involving these lines and looking to through transcontinental traffic. The most conspicuous movement in the market was that in Susquehanna & Western securities, due to the reoorted passage of the control of the property' to Erie interests. The feairs of a minority of stockhoiuers led to an unloading of their holdings, and a slump of'eight points in the common stock, without recovery. and of six points in the preferred, with f rally of over a point in the latter. The Vonds of the company were very strong, on vhe belief that they would be guaranteed by the new controlling company. This break caused sympathetic weakness in all the coalers, and mild weather w’orked to the same end. The bituminous coa! roads were, on the other hand, notably strong. There was evidence of realizing in parts of. the list, on the strength imparted to the market by the general buying. Some of the leading railroad stocks show small net losses. Consolidated Gas advanced at one time four points and Third-avenue nearly five. The realizing of the last hour invited by the day’s notable rise, affected the specialties most, but its effect was quite marked throughout the list, reducing the day's net gains quite sharply in some cases. Net gains, outside the coalers and a few er-eeiaities. extend all the way from a fraction to over a point. The abundant replenishment of the local money market had led to talk of the surrender by New York banks of the government deposits now in their vaults on account of the Union Pacific payment. The bond market continued very notably active, and a large number of issues show gains of over 1 per cent. Total sales, $4.550,(W0.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Jan. 1), 1801k—Matthew iv, 1-11. The temptation of Jesus has been affirmed most difficult of all events to interpret. The difficulty is reduced to a minimum if one keeps in mind that Jesus had a true human soul. This was the citadel the devil sought to storm. In his human nature, Jesus must needs make the transit fiom (he innocence which may be called instinctive to that which is the outcome of choice. This transit was not made entirely in this ordeal of 'he temptation, though this may have been its crucial epoch. * * * The traditional scene of this dread encounter—’’the Forty-day Mountain”—is singularly in harmony. It is still ”a j/athless desert, dusk with horrid shades.” Thither Jesus had gone, impelled by the consciousness of his Messianic mission, which may have fully dawned -u|K>n-iiini in His baptism. He sought to adjust himself to His calling—to test His resources, and determine a plan of procedure. * * * it is perhajis, indifferent whether one believes this a literal approach of a jiersonal devil, or a figurative description of a moral struggle entirely subjective. The first temptation was to use the miracle-work-ing power (of which He had just come to consciousness) purely for jiersonal ends, and untrustfully of his Father's care. The second temptation was to create an emergency which would test his Father's carc. The third solicitation was to the double service, God and mammon. It has been well said: ’’After all, what the devil dees in the desert Is to sum up in exjuessive symbols the whole programme of the false Messianic dreams of the Jews, who only disguised under holy words a carnal and earthly ambition.” * * * Where the first Adam so ignominiously failed in the transit, irom natural innocence to the holiness of choice, the second Adam triumphed gloriously. He did this, too, as man, not as God. it was the victory of our humanity, as Jesus jierfectly identified himself with us: just such a victory as each of us may win. The weajjons he used, also, are the very ones we are to handle: Faith, prayer, scripture. As Jesus, in His human nature, was made perfect by His successful resistance of temptation, so stiall we be. There is both exemjflary and inspirational force in the temptation of Jesus. He was tenijited as we are. He was tempted in His human nature. He resisted and conquered as a man. We may, we must tread the same way. MOSAIC FROM COMMENTARIES. Was led up: Purely voluntary on His part. —J. F. B. By an inward impulse.—Bengel. To be tempted; This temptation is a sample of our Lord's whole state of humiliation, and an ejiitome of all the temptations, rot only moral, but especially sjiirituai.—'Bengel. His human soul had jiow'er to fall.—Olshausen. To be tempted during the forty days, so that the three-fold temptation is but the acme.—Graul. Command stones—bread: Temptation by bodily appetite. Beneath this temptation all gluttons, drunkards and debauchees have fallen.—Whedon. Not bread—but word—God: If Israel spent forty years, divinely provided for, as man I will await divine supply.—J. F. B. Cast thyself down: The second temptation rises to the gratification of admiration. All those carried away by love of pomp, gratification of mental taste, pleasures of imagination, gayetles of fashion, enthusiasm for fame, induced to pervert for these objects jiowers given for rignuul use, fall by this temptation.—Whedon. Not tempt the Lord: To create danger, either to put the promised security skeptically to the proof, or wantonly to demand a disjiluy of it.—J. F. B. All these I give thee: The third temptation aj>pealed '.o the ambition. By this, great men have 1 alien in myriads. They have believed the devil to be the true dispenser of this world’s endowments.—Whedon. THE TEACHER S QUIVER. A patent bullet-proof cloth is claimed to have been invented: can be made into garments of light weight, and absolutely protect the wearer. Did the divinity of Jesus form such an impenetrable armor? Was it inqicssible for suggestions of rvil to enter Mis soul? Then, how was He tempted as we are? Such a theory reduces Jesus’s encounter to a sham fight. The human soul of Jesus was not overslaughed by the divine. The temptation was addressed to Jesus’s true humanity. As seeond Adam he overcame where the first Adam failed. As very man. He learned by what He suffered, and is able to sucerr the temiited, l>eing a true and insj.iring Exemplar. The devil showed Jesus a* short cut to his kingdom. He is doing the same for men to-day. He whisjiers to the bank cashier: "Why plod? Why K-t funds lie idle? Manipulate and double them! You ean replace them. If your conscience troubles you. endow a college.” Alas! increasing lumbers fail to say. "(Jet thee hence!” The devil has a subtle 1 lower to spread a mirage of ail the kingdoms of earth, and all iheir glory and "barbaric gems of gold.” before the eyes of the ambitious, and proffer them all if only one will install him as master. Pity is. so many fail to thrust the tempter through with the sword of the spirit, and say: "(t stands written. ‘Worship the Lord, ami Him only slialt thou serve.’ ” The advantage of familiarity with the Bible is here exemplified. The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, is ever tire Christian's trustiest weapon. Pensions for Veterans.

MAY WHEAT 11-8 CUP t GOOD DEMAND AND HEAVY EXPORTS SAVED A WEAK MARKET. Otlier Grain Followed tile Advance in Sympathy with the Leader-Pro-visions Scored Gains. CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—Good milling demand and heavy exports again made a strong wheat market to-day out of a rather weak one, the May option closing at l%c advance over yesterday’s figures. July was strong, advancing %c. Corn and oats were firm, especially the latter, which closed %@%c higher, while corn advanced %c. Provisions closed 5£(12%c higher. Wheat opened a shade under yesterday’s closing price, but soon recovered. For an hour the direction of prices wais steadily, but cautiously upward. From 90%c at the start May had risen by 10:20 o’clock to 91%c bid. The early slight decline was due in part to reports of rain in California, where yesterday it was said wheat prospects were being injured by drought. An advance at Liverpool of %and .was not quite satisfactory after a decline there yesterday of l%d. Paris likewise quoted prices of wheat 35 centimes lower for near and 20 centimes lower for more remote deliveries. The Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 33 cars, against 507 cars the corresponding day of the week before and 178 the similar day of last year. Chicago got 36 carloads compared with 25 a year ago. Os to-day’s receipts only three cars w r ere contract, but seven cars and 16,003 bu No. 1 Northern spring were transferred from unlicensed to licensed houses. Trade was not heavy or otherwise remarkable during the first hour, except for the gradual acquirement of strength. That strength came from various sources. Duluth cash wheat was reported to be l%e per bushel higher v.Mthin ten minutes of the opening than it closed last night. New Orleans reported clearances from that port of 130,003 bushels of wheat, which was taken as an indication of liberal aggregate exports of wheat and flour for the day. The signal service predicted rain to be followed by a cold wave for a large part of the winter wheat country. The market received additional stimulus from the Atlantic and gulf port clearances which aggregate 960.000 bushels, and by 11:30 May had advanced to 91%c. Ixieal milling demand for carloads of off grade wheat was such that May price was paid for some No. 3 spring. Minneapolis reported 3%c premium over May price on spot and to arrive. The Liverpool market closed at from %and to %and advance on the previous day’s closing prices. The market hesitated cn expectations of a visible increase of from 593,0C0 to 1,090,(>30 Monday, but the sharp cash demand and reports from New' York of good export engagements made the market very firm late in the session. May sold at 91%c at the close, the high point of the day. The market for corn broadened out some to-day and trading was fairly active and general. Prices were helped by the strength shown by oats and by the small country offerings. The rally in wheat was also quite influential as was the rattled eondiiion of east-bound rail rates. May ranged from 28%(fi28%c to 29%c, and closed %e higher at 29%'h£9%c. Oats led the coarse grains both in strength and activity. Shippers wero free bidders of futures and shorts were active buyers throughout. There was said 1o be a revival of the export demand and claims of heavy business yesterday were made. Market was also helped by the break in rail rates. May ranged from 24c to 23%c, and closed %ft%e higher at 23%c. Provisions, though not especially active, were strong. The market at first showed some inclination toward easiness, but the strength developed in all the grain markets encouraged buyers and caused some trovering by shorts. Selling' was scattered. The advance was well maintained to the end. At the close May pork was 12%c higher at $9.35, May lard 5c higher at $4.87% and May ribs 7%e higher at $4.70.

The “big tour” have not been in the market this week to any appreciable extent, and the sales therefore represent a good healthy general demand from the smaller mills.
