| THE DEATH OF MR.. HORACE r. CLARK.
| 1t Is hateful feature Of Wall street that even
| human life Is .'discounted;' that souless opera
| tors can mark the pulsations OF dying man by
the multiplication table and speculate on the In.
nuences that may attend his going of. Yet 1t is,
nevertheless true, and the result OF the decease
OF Mr.. Horace F. Clark, the President OF the
Union Pacific Railroad, the men OF Wall street
to-day witnessed that which was neither
creditabe to their dignity their power.
Whatever may have been his commercial relation
ships-and they were neither few nor unimpor-
tant whatever may have been his character for
Integrity or the tribute exacted from his fellows
by the social and intellectual graces OF Mr.
Clark-the announcement OF his death was
scarcely made before the ghouls were at work to
manufacture their cheap capital out Of
the sad event. How well they succeeded Is
told by the list OF sales that follow,
but it is sorry commentary upon the great fnan-
cial centre Of America that any man, high or low,
when called upon to present his balance account
to the Supreme Bookkeeper up yonder, should be
made the cause OF paltry excitement for the pur
nf few
True, one OF the waves OF the financial sea has in
deed broken, and we know the spot by the white
crest 1t has left behnd but the still rolls on,
and though biow after pillow may likewise disap-
pear, as they have recently done In a mournfuly
rapid succession others win take their places and
the scene will be unchanged.
THE STOCK MARKET
requires but lew words Of comment. 1t opened
feverish. with general disposition on the part Of
the bears to take advantage OF every incident that
could possibly tend in their favor. western Union

steadily advanced, and closed at s5h o 85A. Pa
cIfc Mail sold at s7A SIX ss, then nuctusted q
fraction or two but at last became frmer at
3SH q $685. 3SX, although the last sale
was made at 3s7S. New York Central
showed the extremes Of only u per cent Erie
was steady at 631. Wabash sold at 81 67ss (;
Rock Island sold between 109h q 1OsH, st. Paul
between SIX sos, Ohio and Mississippi between

Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at l06K.
Union Pacific opened at %, sold at u, Y y,
toucned %, temporarily recedcd, but grew frmer
as the day advanced, and closed at 2sh, 4 q 49,
The entire list OF fancy stocks felt the depressing
influences brought to bear on the latter, and the
market was little worthy Of record beyond this
spasmodic and unimp0rtant speculation.
