THE MORNING OREGONIAS, SAOTSDAT, -VlOTAltY 7, 1905. IS STOCKS AfrE LOW Heavy Buying of Merchandise Assured in Near Future, GENERAL. TRADE --ENLARGING Steady Decrease in Proportion of Idle Machinery Larger Gross Earn ings of Railways Metal Industry- Prospering. NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Dun's Weekly Review of trade tomorrow will say: Aside from some hesitation at the South, owing to the recent fall In the price of cotton, business conditions arc favorable and optimis tic -eentlment Is evinced by extensive prepara tions for active trade. As annual reports ap pear It Ik found that the closing months of 11)04 made a much better exhibit than the first half, 'which starts the new year with smaller stocks of poods in the hands of dealers, assuring liberal contracts in the near future for replenishing supplies. A few minor labor controversies hax-e arisen, but the Fall River mills are more active, and In mait branches of manufacture there is a steady oecrease in the proportion of Idle machinery, one prominent producer of woollen goods re porting AO per cent of all plants in operation. Grew earnings of tbo railways in December were fl.4 per cent larger than In the tamo month cf 1903. Winter wheat conditions lxa-e Improved. Buyers are arriving in the leading markets, and In another week orders for Spring delivery will be placed. Dispatches from other cities are general! encouraging. As inventories and repairs are completed, the various departments of the iron and steel industry steadily extend operation, and the sentiment is in striking contrast to the con servatism that prevailed a. year ago. A decided change In the tone of country hldea lifted prices to 10 cents or better, and offerings were limited. Other grades of do mestic hides are quiet. Failures for the week number 210 In the United State, against 240 last year, and 23 In Canada, compared with 37 a year ago. AIDS RETAIL TRADE. Cold Weather Stimulates Demand for Win ter Goods. XEW YORK, Jan. 6. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Seasonable, quiet rules distribution at pres ent. Consideration of part, favorable results and preparations for what Is confidently hoped to be a prosperous year's trade engrosses wholesalers and jobbers. Cold weather, how ever, makes for a fair retail trade In "Winter goods, and. this, with necessary replenishments In broken lots. Induces a fair demand at lead ing centers. This fact, coupled, with the knowledge that the coming throe and fix months' business will compare "with a reduced volume a year ago, leads to the belief that comparisons from now on will favor the pres ent year.

Stc INVESTORS DO NOT BUY DISAPPOINTMENT CAUSES DE- CLINE IN STOCK PIUCES. ! News of the Day Is Net Unfavorable ' Week's Exports, f Corn 'Re- j garded as Highly Favorable. ' 'NEW YORK, Jan. 6. Gathering disappoint ment In view of the moderate Investment de mand, ipr stocks and oyer the reluctance of the outside public to come into the market caused a. general decline in prices today. The growing sluggishness of the market and the difficulty of getting prices up has provea Irk some all the week to the room trade clement, whose livelihood is dependent on motion In the market of one kind or another. The ob stacles to the advance prompted a consider able proportion of this element to sell stocks. It did not appear, there was any great amount of liquidation In the movement; and there were no new developments to promote a selling of securities. Doubt over the level to which prices have lifted, and over their stability at that level may have prompted some -selling. The movement was not widely different from that on preceding days, except that there was a lack of such sustaining points In the market as had been used up to today. With the exception of a momentary advance in Amalgamated Copper and some continued absorption of the Eries and Reading, there, was no strong feature at any time today. JTha rise Jn Amalgamated Copper was connected with dtscufelon of its dividend prospects. As to the effects of the decline. It became fairly general In the course of the day. thus indicat ing a profit-taking character for the movement. The news of the day did not change from the recent favorable tenor as affecting property values. Some effect may have been produced by tbo report of the definite dtermlnatlon to appeal tho Northern Securities decision, which canted a drop in that stock on the curb. But Its subboquent rally did not help the stock market. Railroads reporting earnings made no deviation from the recent advancing tendency. In the cotton market the decline In prices was reported to be attracting at least large buy ing orders from foreign spinners, and the week's exports of corn were regarded as high ly gratifying. The shipments of the latter cereal for the week -rose to the largest for any week la 19C3. This revival in the com move ment is of special Importance on account of "Iho lanquld outward movement of wheat, and produces an effective supply In the foreign ex change market. That market continued to advance today, and Inquiries ly foreign dealers showed that there is no abatement In prospect of the outward movement of gold. It Is evident. hWever. that the movement of currency has turned In full tide from the Interior to New York, the pre liminary figures Indicating a gain by the barges of more than 10,000.000. There Is a feeling growing up that a large accumulation of re serves at this center Is now awaited as an effective opportunity for the offering of large Issues Of securities. The fall in prices gained Its greatest velocity in the final hour and over ran itself, resulting in an active demand to cover short by the room traders. The closing was irregular. The bond market was broad, but the move ment continued Irregular. Total sales, par value, f5.325.000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last calL STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.

Notwithstanding la creased "shipments from Argentina, the wheat market here opened with a fair degree of firmness. May being up 8c. at SLlt9 1.14. The strengthening feature was the continued light movement In tho Northwest. Although a comparison of receipts today with those of the corresponding day a year ago did not show a sufficient decrease to create bullishness, the figures were enough smaller to keep alive some hope In bull traders. Busi ness, however, was much restricted during the early part of the session, pit traders being bearishly inclined and waiting to avail them selves of a possible slump. Weakness of coarre grains brought out some, profit-taking in wheat by local longs. Offerings were not readily taken, and in consequence prices eased off a trifle. May declining to 11.14. Later In the day a firmer tone developed, mainly as a result of reports of Improved demand for cash wheat at all the principal centers. A factor that helped to Increase bullish sentiment was Bradstreet's report showing exports of wheat and flour of 1.412.000 bushels for the week. The high point on May for the day was reached. 21.15. The market closed with "Jay at $1.15. ; Early In the session tho com market exhib ited much weakness, being subjected to re newed selling by several prominent commis sion houses. May opened unchanged to a shade higher, at 44c to 44ff44c, and closed at 44J4fc. General liquidation, combined- with soma short telling, caused as early break of c in the oats market, but nearly all the lorn was subsequently regained by shorts. May closed at 3OS30c At the start weakness of coarse grains had a depressing effect In the provision market. Final Quotations on May pork were up 12c to 15c, at S12.C5. May lard was up 10c at $6.90.

In short, that a variety of beliefs regarded by a majority of persons as superstitions can be demonstrated as truths. "I know a woman of fine culture and high character," he said, "who will not trado her gift for commercial purposes, but has a most remarkable power known as psychometry the power of holding a sealed letter in her hand and giving a diagnosis of tho physical condition of the writer and a picture of his character; of taking a hit of stone from an ancient villa of Cicero, .for example, the nature of which is entirely unknown to her. and calling up a vision of the villa as it ex isted in CIcero3 time, and of Its owner. She la Incapablo of fraud, and her case is but one of others which I know. "Mesmerism was laughed out of court at the opening cf our century, and it Is back again, in good standing, under the alias of hypnotism. So ono may run on through a list of strange, unaccount able, mysterious and most unbelievable powers of man, leading up to that night marc of the dogmatic scientist, spirit ism. "For the first time in the history of man, these powers have been scientifical ly investigated in" our day. Already the result is that a considerable number of eminent men of science have had the courage to avow that, after allowing for Illusion, fraud and every possible hypoth esis of Interpretation, they have been driven up to the ultimate solution of the problem the belief in the actual com munication of the spirits of those whom we call dead with the living. "The possibilities of mental medicines are only being opened. Its application to the most distressing form of human mal ady is full of beneficent results. Its potency In character reform and the cure of the drink habit seems vast and be nign. "Religious faith Is finding Its true foun dations in the recognition of man as a spiritual being, a being who has had do minion over nature given to him, as the child of a vaster spiritual being, the Lord of ail life."
