The Increased activity In money led 70 general
decline In stocks yesterday but the amount OF bust
ness was still small and tho market dull Tho pr1n-
cpal operators have taken advantage OF the demand
for money incidental to the week to make short
bear turnn which they all the more easily able
to do in consequence OF tho general inactivity OF the
market. Buyers are disposed to hold back until
after holiday week. and hence the speculative sellers
meet with little opposition. The chief feature OF
the day was 'break' In Pacific Mali from 40 to A.
The decline had no exceptions. and varied only In
degree for the different stocks. We give further on

THE MONEY MARKET
The demand for money arose from the calling In
OF loans by savings banks and other institutions
and corporations who have TO meet the payment Of
interest falling due with the advent OF the new year
but 1t is strongly suspected that the activity was
aggravated by artificial influences for the purpose
OF assisting the speculative movements In stocks.
The time for q brief 'bearv attack seems to have
been well chosen, and the market ia quite sensitive

impression that the sringency cannot last over the
middle OF next week, by which time the money now

was the rate among the government dealers. After

great bulk OF sales took place at the intermediate

there was good deal OF buying to cover outstand-
ing speculative sales For carrying the rate ranged
from seven per cent to the same figure In gold and

In the House on Friday Mr.. Schenck
from the Committee on Ways and
means, reported bill amending the
second section of law of March 31st,
1868, to exempt certain manufacturers
from internal taxes, so as to extend its
provisions to manufacturers of naval
machinery for the government, and re-
hitting such taxes as cannot be accrued
prior to the LIST of April, 1868. After a
brief explanation by Mr.. Schenck, the
bill passed.
The military academy appropr alton
bill was considered in Committee of the
Whole, and ordered to be reported to
the House. 1t appropriates S27, 1858.
The House in Committee of the Whole

Presidents Message of 1867, in a speech
on general politics, in reply chiefly to a
speech made by Mr.. Blaire, of Maine.

The jubilee will close on the evening
of the 18th of June by grand festive
entertainment, with mt sic by the full

that the American people have ever

toration of peace and union throughout

ternal greeting the leading men of the

As slow the sun his parting smile
At cven-tide is weaving,
With lingering light he dwclls the while
Upon the world he's leaving.
Thus, too, when life is waning fast,
And Youthful days are ileeting,
We turn one longing look to cast
Upon those days rotreating.
When fortune hath il later years
Our several lots assigned us:
When we have rent with bitter tears
The ties that used to bind us:
Still through these scenes of youth and home
Where naught but love was spoken,
On memory's wing It's sweet to roam,
In flights OF JOY unbroken.
And as the winds of age and pain
Are round us sadly signing,
While many IA gem from friendships chain
Within the tomb is lying;
