Business for the past week has been dull,
and the brotherhood Of brokers are at a
loss for something to turn up to their profit
in the way of speculation. State bonds Of
the free school fund sold during the week
at SIN to 5I4 cents, and about $4,000
changed hands at these figures. Old State
warrants sold at 52h cents. City con-
solidated bonds commenced TO sell at the
beginning at 7IA cents, but we're disposed
of at as low as 20 cents before the week
had run its course. The market has been
in a condition of no buyers, almost every
one being seller In this position stocks are
down, and brokers are hungry, without
much chance Of gratiicatiOn-they ask for
bread, and tie market gives them stone.
Slaughterhouse stock was quoted yester-
day from sl4 so to SIS, and well known
broker excited considerable comment by
offering to go down there and run the ma
chine.
Levee is quiet, remarkably quiet at
81 IS to 81 50.
New State warrants are rated at j2l5,
old at 56lA to 81, $1,3OO,OO0 of
the first being out in the cold, as far as
registry is concerned, and the old growing
lower.

THE CITY HALL.

Mayor Flanders has granted free license
to Baker Monroe, the little son Of the late
John T. Monroe, ex-MayOr, who, deter
mined to be Independent, now earns his
living by selling cakes.
George E. Paris, the keeper of the city
archives, has been notified of his suspension
from office. According to gossip in the
Mayors parlOr, he has distracted from the
city archives immense quantities of valuable
documents.
Considerable doubt exists as to which of
the recorders is entitled to pay. Mr.. Hous-
ton is at present the recorder Of the First
District, yet Recorder Houghton has never
obtained from the city authorities leave
of absence, it is stated.
Upon the application of the st. Johns
Boat Club, the Administrator Of Improve
ments has procured for the keeper of the
foot-bridge a commission to act as con-
servator of the peace. The step was rem
dered necessary by a crowd Of unruly men,
who frequently insult visitors and have
married the enjoyment of several parties Of
ladies.

TINS TO FIx.-Of all the independent men
Who roam our city the professional tinker
takes the palm. His stock in trade, not
reckoning his personal talent, can be pur-
chased for $4 or S., and if be is possessed
Of some tact, is able to snap his fingers at
more wealthy tradesmen. He goes where
and when he pleases, and has no idea con-
corning shop rent; the street is his shop and
his office. He win, when near a kitchen
gate, raise his voice mildly to proclaim that
his services can be had, inquiringly, ''Tins
to FIX" On the instant he is ready for
duty; for he carries a kettle Of fire with him
ordinarily, and without ceremony or flourish
sets to work to stop holes or mend breaks.
But it must not be supposed that the pro-
fession is clear of rascals, as we happen to
know. When one of the tribe is about your
premises take especial care to watch him,
cOvertly. Ten to one he viii be noticed to
See all that is to be seen, particularly if
silverware be exposed to view. He will
also make sly chances at door and gate
fastenings, and not forget to casually mea-
sure distances with his keen eyes. These
items will not be noticed on him unless an
observer is concealed from his view. These
remarks are made to protect housekeepers,
for it must be remembered that several
robberies can be indirectly traced to the
craft. They are not all Of this kind, but
there is no harm in watching the honest
ones.
