Read Telegraph Want Ads Daily. KATHARINE Q. SPENCER For Thursday, Jan. 6, 1089 On the whole, planetary aspects mark this as a favorable day, especially in the financial field. Foreign news at this time will be stimulating to markets, and efforts will be made by this country to bring about a peaceful settlement of world problems.
