WALL STREET,

TUESDAY, Sept 25-6 N
There were as many changes OF prices this morning
IN the stock list there OF weather In an average
April day. and pleasing variability in the shade OF
speculation that would have emulaed the performance
of the poets au,yerna aspen. This irregularty
prcsaged by slight advance at the opening 10 be soon
followed by a precipitation OF prices all around in
which The coal stocks suffered most severely. Thus
Delaware and Hudson tumbed from AN TO i3<, Della
ware and Lackawanna from 5O7S 10 ish, and Morris
md Essex from I6a to 74h Al the close, however,
some recovery made but 1t had more the appear
suce OF u temporary rally than OF steady GONZALES
cence The news from the mines Is not assuring.
as 1t Is SAID on good authority that the
strikes are assuming threatening attitude. which
may lead Expectations upon property and 10
popular disturbance. without any such pressure to
force II il simply natural that the inflated figures OF
.he coal should shrink back TO where they be-
long There never any good reason TO authorize
the advance, as the prospects Of the compa-
MES are not improved ana sterling reasons exist,
as rs the case with the railroads. for supposng that
they speedily will improve AS happened to the ass
which went masqueradng In the Ions skin most OF
the timorous havo been frightened out OF the
market BY stock jobbing bray, which at the time was
mistaken Tor tho Of returning prosperity. The
Northwestern and ST. Paul roads were held with much
strength the day through II given out that dvi
of az per ceut upon the preferred shares Of tho
latter company will be shortly declared and that
n handsome surplus will remain. Added to this
the report that the ST. Paul road had Increased It's
earnings for the third week In September $l3sal6,
and the Northwest Sl09 500 Tor the period, as
compared with last year, made these securi-
ties hot favorites with many spectators. who
boldly prophesy much higher prices. Western
Union steadily advanced from II TO 7Sn and
grew into a star Of very considerable magni-
:ude but OF Its orlancy at the end through
being bought in, under rule, for the account OF
well known operator Who, II s said, loved The short
SIDE mot wisely, but we'll. The Vanderbilt
stocks only require notice their steadness and
the small fluctuations which marked dealings. Money
continued active call loans but tho price did not
rise above or fall below per cent and there was no
difficulty OF obtaining Accommodation at these rates

OUR DOMESTIC METALS,

The statement is made by Prof, Rob
ert ii. ThurstOn That this country has
for years been importing cast iron, while
domestic products OF equal and even
greater intrinsic value sell at lower
price. Other similar instances of un-
wisdom are cited by Prof. Thurston, as.
for example, the fact tnat we are import
ing boiler-plate at II cents q pound.
when we can purchase American steel,
vastly superior in all respects for the
special purposes to which the former
article is applied, at 8 cents. Again, we

SCOTLAND In JAMES Tvs TIME.

From the accounts of the Lord High
Treasurer of Scotland in 1473 we learn
that pOrpoise, the seal, ana even the
polypus were esteemed delicacies.
French wines were drank BY the
wealthy, but beer was the beverage most
III use, and the brewing trade was then
entirely in the hands of women called
"brewsters wives" Whisky was then
almost unknown, and, though it is NEIL
toned i'll the accounts, it was evidently
regarded more as a cordial or drug than
a liquor In common use. Cider, too, is
once mentioned as forming part OF the
provisions Of the ship fitted out for Per-
kin Warbeck. And there is one entry
OF tue purchase Of "aplu oreengeis," oil
oranges. AS Que of The qualities which
made James ~. popular was an intense
love OF amusemenLs Of all sorts, there
are continual eutrIes of sums advanced
to the King Tor play at cards. Hunting
and hawking were his tavorite field
sports, and no expense or pains were
spared to get him naWks to his mind. A
