The stock market to-day has been heavy, dull
and stupid, and no doubt stale and Improbable. at
least to the bulls So far be Judged from out
side appearances and from the best sources Of in
formation attainable there has been no pressure
upon the market to-day, either by the bulls OF bears
and hence il is fair TO infer that the decline in quo
tations from last nights prices, ranging from to
per cent, results from the dead weight of the list
since the fact that the general public do not
care TO invest in railway shares mt cur
rent prices is one which cannot DC sue
eeesfuly controversial. Those interested ia an al
vance in railway securities present varioos reasons
for the decline among which are the allegation
which is probably well founded. that the practical
effect of the new Currency bill will be adverse TO
that contemplated by its cOntrvers; that railway
interests are likely to be damaged more or less by
the operations of the Changers and the decisions of
the Western courts, aud that the crop prospects are
seriously threatened by the ravages of the
grasshoppers. 1t is hardly to be supposed
that the Tasshoppers after destroying the
vegetation of the West will seriously attack the
tracks of the railways and it may be fairly doubted
whether the Western roads will not be quite willing
before next Autumn to transport freight and pasep-
gers at prices quite within the limits of the Wis
consin law. The real reasons for the decline in
stocks may be found in the decrease in railroad
earnings, which is indicated in the growing indispo
sition of railway managers to report to the public
the earnings and expenses Of their several corpora
tons. The public notice these facts and fight shy OF
railroad stocks. The stock market to-day opened

The efforts Of DR.. Aver to secure a nomins-
tlon TO Congress recall a story heretofore print
ed, but without his name. His political aspira-
tons have long been known, though some time
since his objective point was the Sen ate instead
OF the House. His idea, however, was to reach
IL from southern state-how viii now be re-
lated.
When the Senate Committee of Privileges
anu Elections was engaged in investi eating the
case of Caldwell, of Kansas and the eners ,
with which Senator Morton, the chairman, was

OF the most prominent members OF the Massa.

The latter proceeded to open his case, as If il
was the most ordinary matter of business He
desired to know from the gentleman he was ad-
dressing whether he really believed that Sens-
Or Morton was In earnest in the proceedirg Q
against Caldwell, and whether the Senate would

informed that there could be no doubt of the
energy with which the inquiry was TO be pressed

which the Senate would feel Obliged to take in
case the use OF money was proved. The Rep-
resentatiye was then informed that friend ad
written from Florida, saying that the ieglsla-
ture OF that state was soon to elect a United
States Senator, and that If he should come
down at once with some $500 900 the place
might be easily secured. Upon this he was ad-
vised by the gentleman he had consulted not to
invest, and was further assured that it would be

RUSSIA, PRUSSIA, AND THE SPANISH QURs-
TIoS.-While the Prussisn government Is avow-
edly the advocate OF the Sanish republic, and
with feet in Spanish waters, is filling the
French frontier with German agsnts to note
now the laws against contrsband trade with the
Carlists are observed, the Russian government,
which refused to join I'm the proposed diplomatic
recognition of the Spanish republic, has TAX en-
prominent mode ofexpressIDg sympathy with
the Carlists, being no less than by letter from
the Car TO Don Carlos. The snub TO Prussia is
decided, and will have the effect probably of in
citing the latter state 10 the prosecution of
whatever designs it may entertain IN regard TO
Spanish affairs. The murder of Capt. Schmidt,
an ex. officer Of the Prussian army, who was act
ing as newspaper correspondent in the Csrlist
lines, and was brutaliy shot as q spy, has great
ly incense the German nation, and will engage
popular support for the government.

LABOR NOTES.-The Southbridge Mass
mills are soon to commence running on the ten
Eour system, and the pay of the operatives will
be reduced accordingly. The National straw
works at WestbOrough, Mass, have reduced
their time TO eight hours. They have been rpn-
ming night and day through their busy season.
Twenty thousand slate pencils are now manu-
factured and shipped daily from the pencil mill
at CastletoD, Vt. The company contemplate
making double that number at an early day, If
nothing happens. The principal lumber mills
on the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers, Me-, are
shutting down and dischsrging ther hands. The
amount of ore mined at Lake Superior aud
shipped this year does not exceed 60 per cent of
that of last, and il is feared that before MANY
months large number Of mines will stop.
