STOCKS ACTIVE AND STRONG.
The stock market was active under a freshened
appetite among the "bulls," who argued from the
bank statement that the danger OF monetary
stringency was entirely past fair degree Of
buoyancy characterized the dealings throughout
the day. and while the results have been decidedly
In favor OF the speculation for rise the improve
ment in prices would doubtless have been more
extensive had not Pacific Mail interfered with the
development OF what the street Is beginning to
jocularly designate
1.-THE SPRING RISE"
las for Pacific Mail, an early reaction from Satur-
0ay's depression was occasioned by rumors that
the friends OF Mr. Stockwell had arranged to help
him out OF his embarrassment and would furnish
him with the means this morning to take
up the note due the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Under this view OF the situation
the stock advanced to 54A, but soon after became
weak and feyerish, and eventually on report
that the note was still unpaid, declined to 5oR; a
reaction to 90 ensuing at the close OF business The
general list sympathized with these fluctuations
but after midday evinced
DEPOSITION TO CUT LOOSE
from Pacific Mail, ana was SO far successful as to
regain its partial decline and wind up steady, with
the retention Of the most OF its previous advance.
At the close the market acted as II IL wanted
leaders on the 'sbull" side, and the deficiency
soon explained by the discovery that hafa-dozen
or more of the chief spectators on that side had
gone to Cleveland to attend the annual election OF
the Lake Shore Railroad Company. The death OF
Mr. Alfred c. White. young and greatly-esteemed
member OF the Stock Exchange was announced at
the morning session OF the Board. Resolutions OF
respect were adopted and the nag OF the building
lowered to half mast. Mr.. White, who was In his
twenty-ninth year. contracted cold last week,

REAL ESTATE MATTERS,

: The market at the opening yesterday was rather
feeble but as Mondays, in the calendar OF pro-
perty saints, as well as with the Knights OF st.
Crispin, rank as ''blue," not much could be ex-
pected. The spoerry property was again placed
on sale, but after disposing OF four plots the
balance was withdrawn. There seems to be a
fatality about this land this is the second time
when only pieces were disposed OF, although the
entire estate embraced at the last sale 12s lots.
The other business transacted consisted OF the fol-
lowing sales, effected at the Exchange

Conflicting Opinions Regarding the

The RumorssOn Wall street Yesterday-
Conflicting Opinions Regarding the
Payment or the 100000 Note.
The feverish condition which Pacific Mall stock
maintained yesterday and the noticeable reticence
OF the officers OF the company, set anoat many wild
rum0rs on Wall street. There was no doubt that
the feeling In regard to the fnancia, condition of
the company was much better late in snc morning
than at the first call. The reporter In search OF
any definite information In regard to
MIR. sTocKwELL's 100000 LOAN
met only with perplexties and theories which had
no foundation in fact. Prominent brokers were
met who asserted that Mr.. Stockwell had paid or
his Indebtedness early in the day, and that the
reports to the contrary were sarted by the 'bear"
interest Tor the purpose or depressing the stock.
so certain were some that this settlement hal been
effected that they named Mr. w. NJ Parkes, OF
Broad street, as the man who had supplied the
money to Mr.. Stockwell. Others pamed Mr.. Rufus
Hatch as the person; but when called on the for
mer denied That he was the man. and nothing
whatever could be obtained rom the latter. Then
again there were not a few who claimed to be abte
TO assert positively that Mr. StoCkwell had not and
could not cancel his note for 100000; and that
or more Of the best Of Stocks he could not raise the
cash. Towards evening, however, although the
stock was not steady by any means.

quest at the Eighteenth precinct station house In
the case Of John Gumpman, o German thriy-six

VERDICT.
sThat John Gumpman came to his death by COM
preston OF the brain, the result OF violence re-
