HEAVY WEATHER IN THE ATLANTIC.

certain amount or anxiety was felt In this city
yesterday with reference to the non arrival OF the
French mail steamer st. Laurent, Captain
Reculoux belonging to the General Trans
atlantic Company, which had left Havre,
bound for New York, on the 10th OF
December last The anxiety was increased
by the knowledge OF the fact that the Hamburg
steamer Suevia, from Hamburg, via Havre for
New York, had left the latter port simultaneously
with the Laurent The Suevia arrived here early
yesterday morning. Later in the day o telegram
was received at the HERALD Office stating
that the French vessel had been forced 10 put into

WALL STREET. I
MONDAY, Jan. 4-6 r. n. ,
The course Of the stock market to-day was dis
couragtng to those who have expected higher
prices with the advent OF business at the begin
ming OF the new year. A depressed tone was estab-
lished ct an early hour, and, except In temporary
reactions from time to time In exceptional shares,
1t was fairly maintained until the close. The
higher priced stocks like Lake Shore and Western
Union, failed to exhibit their recent sustaining
power, and the latter moved down steadily from
the opening price OF 70 to Tx. Sympatheticaly,,
the effect OF this weakness was manifest in Union
Pacific, which ranged from SIX to 387I in ST. Paul,
which receded from a94 to ssx ssa; in Pacific
Mall, which went on from 34z to s3X; IN Ohio
and Mississippi which opened at 32H and de-
cllned to S2h; In Erie, which declined from 80 to
991I 2sx per cent at the close, and in Northwest
ern common, which receded from 4SH to AK.
There was Q slight attempt at rally
during the last half hour but 1t was with
out permanent effect The street is poor, brokers
are distrustful, ana something In the shape OF
practical evidence from commercial circles tS re-
quired to remove existing doubts concerning the
safety OF speculation for higher market. North
west preferred sold at 621a 80 st. Paul preferred
at 5sX a 5s4 q 5SH, New York Central at l0lA,
New Jersey Central at 105, Wabash at 20a4 207s

SOMETHING LIKE.

Close upon the shore of Lake Winnie
piseogee is a town, and in that town
dwells man whom We call Amber. Mr..
Amber keeps store, and. as he is a gen
ial, accommodating man, he keeps for sale
everything which the good people in the
country can reasonably expect him to
keep. Particularly has it been the prac.
tee of MIR. Amber to keep a barrel of
whisky on tap in his cellar. One in the
fall and one in the spring will generally
carry him through. He is very careful to
whom he sells, and, so far as is known,
the authorities have never given him any
trouble.
One day Mr.. Eliphalet Spooner entered
the store with a slight protuberance Wis
IDLE upon his LETT breast. Mr.. Spooner
was deacon and a most proper man.
He called the merchant aside and asked
him if he had any good whisky. Amber
nodded in the affirmative. 10
"Will you let me have pint e. and the
deacon pulled from his breast pocket q
pint bottle.
"Certainly,'' said the trader; and
forthwith he departed for the cellar.
When he returned he brought the full
bottle, carefully wiped and corked.
''What is to pay p
"Fifty cents.''
Mr.. Spooner handed him over a fifty.
cent scrip, ond then, in hesitating way,
drew the cork. He placed the bottle to
