Savannah, Ga. Atlanta,
mentarlly arrested the advance, hut out
side demand readily absorbed these offer
ings. Late in the afternoon the advance
was arrested by a spurt of profit-takings,
but demand from outside investment
sources and generous support from bulls
prevented any reaction worthy of men
tion. An advance of in “spot cotton
had eonsiderable weight as a bull factor.
The close was firm at a net rise of 1 to
7 points. Estimated receipts at the ports
for the day were 23,000 bales, against 39,217
last week and 20,957 last year; for the
week, 200,000, against 207,553, and 212,823

and at Houston, 3,829, against 8,887 last

New York, J in. 21.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say of cotton; “English spinners see
no reason for the advance in face of the
accumulated slocks in Bivorpoo] and the
visible supply. Their purchases in Lon
don to-day were therefore moderate and
the arrival market was quiet at improve
ment not equal to our advance of yester
day. Outside buying orders were in evi
dence here and in New Orleans, taking all
the offerings of the holders who were will
ing to realize on the bases of 6c for Au
gust, and closing the market firm at the
best prices. A slight increase at the in
ferior towns is to be noted and our stock
is slowly increasing, but no attention is
paid by buyers to anything except the
speculative temper. There are times
when supply has no effect upon specula
tion and this may be one. We mention
these facts after an advance of a cent a
pound, but the universal temper of the
trade is in favor of higher prices and as
long as the buying continues the market
will advance as none will be short under
any circumstances.”
DRV GOODS.
New York, Jan. 21.—1n the local dry
goods market the demand for staples has

vance. Bleached cottons were strong and
active. Coarse colored goods showed no
change of moment. Ginghams have shown
continued good results in both staple and

25 per cent. rule.
New York. Jan. 21.—The stock market
to-day was exceptionally active and re
markable advances were made in many
shares, the extreme gains being in invest
ment issues. The average of prices was
higher than In years, and the volume of
trading in stocks and bonds was the larg
est yet traded in on a Saturday. Had the
two-hour session been extended to five
hours, as on Oither days, and had the same
rate of trading continued there would have
been $14,000,000 bonds and 1.900,000 stock
dealt in. Investors, weary of waiting for
a substantial reaction,' seemed panic
stricken to plaice their money. The open
ing quarter of an hour was the most ex
citing. in sympathy with the booming mar
ket for New York Central in the London
exchange.
All the Vanc’erbilt shares made sharp
advance on rumors concerning the plans
of the controlling interests of the New
York Central. 'The street, Judging by the
course of the market, gave credence to
these reports, but nothing was given out
in regard to thri plans, which were said
to involve closer relations between New
Y'ork Central, Chicago and Northwestern
and Union Pacif. e, although an unnamed
director of the latter company was quoted
as making a denial as far as the Union
Pacific was concerned. New York Cen
tral made an extreme advance of 8%, Un
ion Pacific 2% for the common and 5% for
the preferred, and Northwestern 5%.
The London market moved upward all
day, and it is estimated purchased about
50,C00 shares here although London ex
change closed before this market opened.
There was heavy nealizing in some stocks
during the advance in the Vanderbilts, but
all offerings were readily taken. Commis
sion house orders wi?re so large that some
floor brokers havirq: more business than
they could well attend to were obliged to
refuse orders. The fractional declines that
occurred were due to the suspicion on the
part of the traderb that prices were bid up
in the interest of sellers. The appaarance
of the bank statement assuring as it did
an advance of money, asserted a strong
influence and a renewal of confident pur
chases. ,
The closing was strong, but at recessions
from the best figures. The more import
ant gains for the day c utside of the Van
derbilts, Union Pacific .and Atchison were
Great Northern preferred 2, and Evans
ville and Terre Haute preferred 2.
The declines were fractional excepting
Hawaiian Commercial. 3%; Pullman, 2, and
Western Gas. National Uiscult common
closed at a loss of ?i after a previous ad
vance of 5?4. Sugar, American Tobacco,
Manhattan, People’s Gas and Federal Steel
were weak. Railroad bonds exhibited
marked strength during the week with the
inquiry embracing gilt-edged as well as the
usually neglected issues. The material
improvement in the high-grade stocks
prompted trading in bonds where opportu
nities for onhanet-meni of \i iue seemed fa
vorable. Untied States new 4’s, registered,

THE \ Al t IMA GERM.
It* Discovery Vlul.es t’o**llile Ideal
Yacciuntlon From Pure Culture*.
From to, l/on<k>n Daily Chronicle.
It whs stated yesterday that Mr. Stan
ley Kent of Si. Thomas' Hospital had suc
ceeded in discovering the specific organ
ism upon which vaccinia depends.
This perhaps ikvs not convey very much
to the* ordinary reader. What, he may
fairly ask, is the vaccinia germ? Well, it
is Hu* germ witli which you arc* inoculated
when you are vaccinated. When that
operation takes place, the inoculation is
not of the actual sma.l-pox germ, as
many isxiplo supjiose, but of the vaccinia
gemt. And how docs this effect the mat
ter? the man in tile street will ask. To
answer tins question a little digression la
necessary. It was in 1891 that Mr. Cope
mtn discovered the method of purifying
vaccine lymph by means of glycerine. This
was the discovery of which Mr. Chaplin,
speaking to his brief, made so much dur
ing the debate last session on the vac
cination act. Of course, there is not the
least doubt that glycerinated lymph
properly prepared, eliminates to a great
xtent the danger of infection which or
dinary lymph might convey; but It is not
perfect. Indeed, experts from Germany
and other continental countries In which
glycerinated lymph have been employed
for years past, have visited the govern
ment vaccine establishment in England,
nod have been much struck by the results
obtained by inoculation, with ordinary calf
lymph, and even the arm (o arm vaccina
tion, which has hitherto been used In the
remoter parts of the country.
I was fortunate (writes a Chronicle cor
respondent) In finding Mr. Stanley Kent
yesterday, and In learning from his own
lips what his discovery actually means.
"Tell me,” 1 said, “in populur language,
its value?”
"Well,” he replied, “it Is, of course,
somewhat difficult to say. without using
scientific terms, exactly what my discov
ery does meat!. I will try. Up to the
present the *|>eclflc germ, the virus of vac
cinia, which Is the disease produced by
vaccination, and which protects from
smallpox, has not until now been discov
ered.''
"And you have discovered It.”
"YV*. 1 have been engaged In making
ex|s>rimenis since 1893. In 1894 I published
a paper in which 1 described a peculiar
minute bacillus in the tissues of animals
suffering from vaccinia, but in the at>-
si nee of pure cultures there was no proof
that it was absolutely specific to the dis
ease.”
“Yes,” I said, “but this won’t do for
the ordinary newspaper reader. What,
for instance, is a pure culture?”
''Well,” said Mr. Kent, “1 will explain.
First of nil, you must find an organism
in ihe tissues of a diseased animal. Sec
ond, you must be able to cultivate it; that
means that you must make pure cultures
of it, that apart from the animal Itself.
Third, the inoculation of these cultures
must give rise to the disease in another
animal. Ami fourth and last, this organ
ism must occur In the tissues of the ani
mal inoculated.
"In 1895 1 read a note at the annual
meetlg of the British Medical Association
in which I described the method by which
I had succeeded ill securing cultures off
the organism described In 1894, the second
stage. In May this year I published the
results of further experiments, which
marked a great advance In the method
of culture.”
“And where have these experiment*
been carried out?” I asked.
"At the National Vaccine establishment,
at St. Thomas’,” was the reply, “and In
my own lit tie* laboratory. In the lancet
of the 17th 1 published a paper In which
I described the results of inoculation ex
periments on animals. These experiments
have for their result the prqductlon of
typical vaccinia, accompanied by normal
vesicles and subsequent Immunity to vac
cinia when Inoculated with active lymph.”
"And what Is the practical result?” wag
the next question.
"What will happen In this—that as soon
us these cultures come to an Issue they
will probably take the place of vaccine
lymph for the purpose of vaccination, ami
the advantage Is that you will work with
a perfectly well known substance of which
you know accurately the coimioslHon. and
by which there Is aiwolutely no possibility
of communicating any disease.”
“And how is it cultivated?” I asked.
“In test tubes," was the reply, ”tn a
special medium with egg albumen and
glycerine, on the same footing as pure
cultures of any other organism. It will do
away with calf lymph, glycerinated or
otherwise.”
“And the conscientious objector also?”
"The conscientious objector is, in my
opinion, a person without a conscience.
You might place the various stages of vac
cination iri the following order: Arm to
arm, very bad; calf to arm, much better;
glycerinated lymph, better still; pure cul
ture, the ideal of vaccination."
Mr. Kent told me that he is entirely un
concerned with the commercial aspect of
bis discovery; the only Interest he takes
in It is from a scientific aspect.
There is little reason lo doubt that the
government will adopt this new method, If
the trials which it will undergo are suc
cessful.
