NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Feb. 5. The stock market continued in the lethargic condition which was in evidence all during the session yesterday. Tho tendency of the market, however, was firmer with the exception of the Hill properties, both of these issues seemed to have a weak undertone for some unknown reason. Great Northern was offered liberally all during the day. the opening trans
action at 165 was the highest of the day, finally selling down to 102. Northern Pacific sympathized In a measure, opening around 153 and declining to 151. Tho other high priced standard shares such as St. Paul. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Atchison were inclinod to firmness, showing gains ranging from one-half to two points. Union Pacific was probably tho strongest of any of the active specialties. It Bcored a gain of two points over yesterday's final sales. The belief seems to bo growing among some of the best traders in Wall street that a substantial rally in the market is due and that It should come quickly. As a consequence quite a few traders who have been operating on the bear side of the market havo reversed their position and aro moderate buyers of stooks when the market becomes weak.
The absence of any further development in the relations between tho United States and Japan and the belief that no further complications will arise was given as a reason for the Inherent strength throughout the market. Shorts bought quite a few stocks. Tho market closed fairly strong in spots with indications for further advances in the particular specialties.
OATS This was the sensational featuro of the grain pits. Tho May option showed a gain of over a half a cent for the day, reaching a new high record on the crop. As has been reiterated previously the cash demand is such an excellent and legitimate one that eventually it will have a higher ruling prices for the speculative markets.

MRS. Eschenbach Is buried and a melancholy incident is closed. The grief of the family she left, behind is none the less because of the indirect or direct cause of her death. The community of which she was a part is inclined to believe that she really could not help It. That she took her own life is accepted as the rroof of a good heart and a tender ronscience. The community has nothing but sympathy for the bereaved husband and children and nothing but contempt for the creaturo whose influence over her caused her to wage n losing war against her better self. And the same contempt applies to those who would apologize for him.

larpre foot have lately Jumped on John J. Inffalls' poem "Opportunity," which Las heretofore been regarded lo some circles as belns fully as truo and binding as the Dclaratlon of Independence or the Imperative orders ef a young wife on an old husband. The burdeu of thU poeta la that a large, husky (rentlernan named Mr. Opportunity, with fame In ono hand and a bag of gold In the other, comes thumping on tho door of every man's house onco In a lifetime, and If the householder Is asleep or not there to extend the glad and itching hand it is all oil with him forever. This on close examination la found to be a mistake. There are opportunities lying all about our path If w could Just distinguish them from double back action Jokes, but how is tha dub to know when one of them knocks that it isn't his creditors trying to break into his house under false pretenses?
It Keeps Coming. You wait for something to turn up And something always will, Tou may be sure, though It is but An old and unpaid ?
Brooklyn is a stock that can be sold with impunity. This stock never paid a dividend and never earned one, and in all probability it will not pay one in the next twenty years. The stock Is high at ten dollars per share.

Mclntyre still looks for a narrow
market with email clumps and the
market sale on all hard spots and a still lower range than we have had
yet. Confidence has been too badly-
shaken and too many bijr neoDle have
lost money to put the market up.
There it no Investment demand and
puch rallies as we have had are only
from covering of shorts and outside
of that nothing. Tho forced support given the market is withdrawn the
moment It puts up its head.
The importation of gold at this time,
especially when done by Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. Standard Oil crowd is only for on purpose and that la to put the market up. It always does that to a declining stock market. They boast that they will make call money 1 per cent and import gold at a loss to stop this decline and they will stop it. J. L. D.
