SATURDAY, Nov. 21-8P NJ
The stock market to-day was comparatively
steady, yet unsatisfactory, the sales being small
and the prices unsuggestive. The halt that has
been made during the last two or three days Ii
not understood and In the absence OF outside GUS
tom there has not been much inducement on the
part OF brokers to make material change IN the
ngures recently quoted. There are no comments
made on the street which are calculated to AFFECT
values one way or the other, and there seems TO
be developed for the moment simply process OF
patient waiting. Whether prices are too high or
too low to suit spectators is question yet to be
determined.
GAINS AND LOSSES.
Compared with the closing prices yesterday the
market shows gain in the majority Of stocks, as

The Plymouth Church Scandal.

New YORK June 27.-General Tracy, Of Ply.
mouth Church, says, while Titon's letter fails
to show what his charge is, it c ar y shows 1t is
not an offence for which one gentleman could
apologize to another and have the apology ac-
cepted. TiIton insists that an apology was Of
fercd and accepted. Upon this point he is
very explicit He claims that upon receipt OF
the information which led him to make the
charge, he sought Beecher and obtained from
him an explanation which he regarded and ac-
cepted as an apology,and upon which nc rested
He never suffered the past to disturb their pub

mouth Church had treated his case 10 connec-

al Council. He says that after this explana-
ton OF Beecher he acted with CONSCIOUS desire
to see Beecller protected rather than harmed.
This forbids the supposiuon that Hilton re,
garded Beecher's offence as one that affected
his honor or that of any member OF his family.
The charge against Beecher IS just this

This is the extent OF the charge and the on

of Beecher' church that Mrs. Tilton has re-
peatcdly and emphatca!ly denied it: This ex-

matter have SO unanimously stood by their
