NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Unsettled Condition of the Money Market Still Hampers Speculation. NEW TORK, Jan. 5. The prices of etocka traversed a considerable range today, moving forward in the -early dealings, and then pur suing a retrograde couroe to about last night's level. The deduction to be drawn Is that pro fessional traders are disinclined to undertake extensive speculative commitments. The -most effective Influence toward this disposition Is the conviction that the money markets of the world are not yet in condition to afford abund ant funds for speculation, on credit. The inci dent which pointed this moral was the unex pected proportions of the gold engagements for tomorrow's steamer, mounting up to $3,G00,000. as compared with preliminary estimates of 52.000,000. The large engagements were in plte of sagging Interest rates In London and a sharp decline In the discount rate at Berlin. It Is eldent, therefore, that the British govern ment designs abundant use for large additional funds, and that available gold supplies will be drawn to London as far as possible. Such a prospect makes definitely against the probabil ity of the uneasy money market In New York, in spite of the replenishment which various fac tors are now bringing to this center. The causa of the morning strength In the stock market was the cessation of the selling pressure for Berlin account. The absorption of New Tork Central stocks In tjh sympathetic effect upon the whole railroad list continued. The reaction gained force with the gold encasements, ana the bears were ais- FINANCIAL NEWS posed to take advantage of the scare to depress industrials, notably Sugar and the steel and Iron stocks. Rumors were clrculaled that new difficulties would be encountered In effecting the distributions of the dividends on the com mon stocks of Iron and steel companies, which It has been represented was soon to be made. Official disclaimers that any such diffi culties were apprehended failed to cauoe any notable recover- in stocks, affected. The closing of the market was, however, Arm, but very dull, and the net changes, aside from the Industrials, were not Important. The week's regular currency movement by express has been largely in favor of the banks, the outgo having fallen to less than $1,000,000, bo that the week's gains from that source are estimated at over $3,000,000, not counting receipts by registered mall, which last week were considerable. In addition, the banks have gained from the sub treasury $256,000. The bond market was dull and Irregular. The total sales were $1,365,000. United States 3s, registered, and new 4s advanced per cent In the bid price. BONDS; XT. S. 2s, reg 10214! Gen. Electric 5s.. 119 do 3s. reg lOO&JN. T.

The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram. sas: The markets here opened dull and quiet to day. Stocks were found to be scarce, especially Americans, prices for which responded readily to the better feeling. In all other departments business was small. The chief factors -were the changed feeling relative to ease In money and better news from Berlin, where It was re ported the liquidation was over there, and there was some picking up of Canadian Pacific and other Pacific shares. In the afternoon the cheerfulness was assist ed by vague Transvaal rumors that the Boers had made an unsuccessful effort to break through General French's line, and that Cecil Rhodes had escaped from Klmberley. Paris re ported that a battle was going on at the Tugela. official reports of which were kept dark. These stories were generally discredited, but thpy had an effect. Americans were par ticularly affected by the Increasing confidence and persistent New York buying of New York Central. Money was very easy on the release of 5,000, C00 In government dividends, -but tomorrow the market has to pay 1.000,000 on the balance of the treasury bills. The local loan stock was quoted today at 2 premium, which helped the money market. Call money at the close was 3 per cent. The bank lost 145,000 gold engaged for Argentina and 20,000 for Malta.

Chicago Grain, Produce, .Etc. CHICAGO, Jan. 5. The wheat market opened easy on the absence of stimulating news, May a shade under yesterday at G9&69c. This was the high notch for the day, for thereafter tne price went under "puts" and stayed there, bujlng against these privileges causing only the feeblest upward motions. The poor export busi ness was one reason for selling, good crop news from Argentina and elsewhere another. The weakness of the Northwest niarkets Minneapo lis showing a greater falling off than Chicago and selling orders from that section were also a factor In the weakness. On the decline con siderable long wheat was let out. "With this array of gloomy news, the fact that receipts were more liberal and clearances small added but little to the discouragement of the bulls Ten thousand bushels of cash wheat was sold for the seaboard, but. In View of the large stocks, the transactions were contemptuously labeled "retail business, '" and forgotten. May slumped as far as possible, arid then closed weak, 4c under yesterday, at 6S8c. The strength exhibited early by the provision market was overcome latur hy heavy realizing, prosecuted throughout the session with great animation. May pork closed 1012&c under yes terday, lard 7&10c under, and May ribs 57c down.

The Boer knows the com mon features of the country like tho palni of his hand; while ' British .troops rare mobilizing, he is as it were, deer-staik- ing; the British officer leads a difficult movement prescribed for rare occasions; the Boer meets it by saying, 'Come on, Piet, or 'Come on, Oom.' It 15 astound ing to us that the irregular should be in any respect superior to -the regular, but is not this a new thing for which the armies of Europe must allow in their cal culations? This natural, advantage t)f the Boer belongs to him only in the country of kopjes or in very broken ground. In fair, open country, where British cavalry could perform their proper functions," the results would certainly be very different." e BIBLICAL CRITICISM. Attorney for Defense Returns ' With Fresh .Pleadings. PORTLAND, Jan. 4. (To the Editors Mr. Sargent's Inability to satisfy himself with a latitude of 250 years as to the date of Christ's birth is really touching. We may congratulate ourselves that such ignorance on the subject is not wide spread. Admittedly there is doubt as to the exact year; but the Ions discussion on this point strikes one as speeial pleading to make It appear that there was some sense in the argument that Christ should have been mentioned by Cicero and the other cadavers enumerated. I undertook- to-dlscuss certain, alleged contradictions brought forward and to show by an appeal to the gospel narrative itself that they do not exist, saw as the result of reading Into the record what it doee not In fact contain. Now, Instead of taking up any of these points and try ing to defend his poor "contradictions," our learned controversialist hastily dis owns their paternity and tells us that ha found them all in books, where lots moro just as good can be had for thev taking". Then he ushers in, with considerable pomp of Introduction, some choice spirits from the array of pious but honest theolo gians, higher critics and archaeologists, whose dicta are to establish by authority what Mr. Sargent has found himself un able to make good by argument. First is Dr. "Westcott, through the medium of Dr. Cone. It is amazing that any one should set him Up to support such a contention. Mr. Sargent either knows nothing as to the difference between the higher 'criticism and the lower or textual criticism, or else he chooses to confuse the two. The quo tation set out has not the slightest refer ence to the subject of contradictions or inconsistencies in the statements of the biblical narrative. Dr. "Westcott is sim ply arguing for the remoyal of prejudice against the .acceptance of the Tevised text. Moreover he is, as" will uppear "by reference to the appendix to "Westcott & JHorfs Greek New Testament, a vigorous defender of the reliability arm integrity . of the text Itself. . TJijat fr should bo dragged into' a controversy ,on a shtyject about which he "has said nothing, and made to appear on tne opposite siae to tne one? need.liy champions in what he does say, goes to show that some one either Mr. Sargent or the book he got it out of is hard pressed for authorities'. As to the perennial Andrew D. "White, from whom Mr. Sargent has been giving us a contlnued-in-ouf-next series of quo tations for the past 12 months, I am not aware that he has any great reputation In the field of biblical criticism, and do not" believe that his sweeping generaliza tion that all Bible scholars of any stand ing have come to admit that the gospels were a legendary grdwth, etc., Is to be given much weight, in opposition to the views Of such a scholar, for example, as Harnack, who ha3 recently said: "The oldest literature of the church in a,U im portant points and in most of its details is from the point of literary criticism both genuine and worthy of reliance."- Next, the quotation from Processor Sayce. "When this learned lnvestigafpr writes that the fragments of Hebrew lit erature contained In, the Old Testament are the wrecks of a vast literature which extended over the ancient Oriental world the context shows plainly that he means that the Hebrew writings were not the only literature of the time, and Is very far from saying, as Mr. Sargent would have It. that the Bible is made up of the wreckage, The higher critics have argued that the Bible can have no great antiquity because the art of writing was not known In the land of its origin until a late date. Professor Sayce proceeds to demolish this position by showdng" beyond question that literature had reached a -vast develop ment In the Oriental word before the ago of Moses. "When Professor Sayce tries to "say this in figurative language, my valued friend straightway proceeds to misunder stand him. But since Professor Sayce'ls set on such a pinnacle of authority, I would say that he has probably done as much as any one man to upset a larg portion of the absurd conclusions -of tho higher critics with regard to the Old Tes tament. Some quotations from on article by him appearlhg in the book; "Is Chris tianity True?" will not be out of place. bleVitOllZer. the DrescrlDtlonofafnmotl.tft'rpnnhnhvMfilan.

Speaking of the work of Professor Ram say, he says (p. 22) t - He has shown that the first unprejudiced ap plication of the results of modern archaeological researph by a master of archaeological science to the' writings bf the New Testament Is to vin dicate their truthfulness and early date. Again, on page 2S and following:. The proof presented by archaeology declares, not only that Moses could have written the Pentateuch, but that It would hava been, some thing lik;e ji miracle If he had not done, ,so. , . . The discoveries of Oriental archaeology 4 are ever growing more numerous, moro start- ling and more unexpected, and Oriental arch aeology declares with ever-Increasing distinct ness that the., history which, the "higher criti cism" has demolished Is history .aiter all, . . . In truth, those pf us who, have devoted our lives to the archaeology of the ancient Oriental world haie been forced back Into the tradi tional jpceltlon,' though doubtless wlth'a broader basis to stand upon and clearer views of the real signification of the biblical text. " Year by ear, almost month by month, fresh discoveries are breaking In upon us, each more marvelous than the last, and all as regards the Pentateuch In favor of the old rather than of the new teaching. . . Oriental archaeology can go further than to prove that Moses could after all have written the Pentateuch and that the narratives contained In It are derived frpm doc uments contemporaneous- with the events they record. It can further show that there Is no one else so likely to have written It as the great leader and legislator of Israel, to whom after ages agree In ascribing the written law. So much for "iny opponent's chief -witness." For our controversialist's glittering gen eralities, myths, legends, -credulities, pious frauds, blind and unstaggerlng faith, be- -fogglng rubbish, etc., I have nothing to match. Space in The Oregonlan is too valuable. Nor am I willing to debate here the evidences of the resurrection of our Lord. The subject is too great to be given ';a place as one of many Issues in a news paper controversy. I consider 4t the; most flmpregnable of "Christian facts, 'and belief In It is not to be shaken by a citation from some Rev. Skeptic. Finally, why is it that men lfko Mr. Sargent will laud the ability, learning and honesty of such scholars as Professor Sayce, and Dr. "Westcott for the sake of giving weight to little misinterpreted ex tracts from their writings, and then pour contempt and abuse upon the ultimate conclusions of these great authorities with regard to the Bible and the Christian re ligion?
