Il Is an old belief that prices upon the Stock Ex.
change are more or less Influenced by the weather;
that sunny skies incentive TO higher prices and
that lowering equal degree depressing.
neither one the other The day has been bad out
OF doors, but only moderately bad indoors; shares
which were strong yesterday are weaker to-day but
tho decline is enough TO the most tmid Of
bull operators In fact there Is reason why there
should be any decline ut ALL any rse even or In
word any change ono way or tho Other for the rise
and fall OF the day matter OF dipping OF coppcr
among the smmest waisod Of board gamblers and the
results obtained as meagre their bank accounts.
This for reasons-nrst that the public cares ne
moro for the price Of stocks than It does for the
price ola pint OF peanuts and second because
CARDS all speculation as anything but square

tho pleasure Is great
Of being cheated as to cheat.
Tho record OF the street being that the passive party
has got tho worst of speculative encounters in times

rolling card slipping and dice throwing prestdigta-

room. Today's business expresses NO moro than
this, and although ono prominent broker was
given q rowing commission to bid soil down
stocks he best thought nt, was found impossible
to kick tho market into any sort OF activity, and It
cordinpiy remained almost without change and duh

Quite an excitement has been aroused by the attempt at shooting George Hanchett a clerk in U. H. Miners store. He was kept up later than usual on Friday night by severe toothache; he had his medicine on low desk before him and was sitting near the window. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, as he stopped over to apply his anodyne, bullet passed directly over his head, going across the store, passing through cake of chocolate, and embedding itself in box beyond. It is thought it was an attempt at burglary, the intention being to shoot him Gas he slept in the store) and later in the night to rob the store He is a very popular young man and is not likely to have any personal ennmies. A number of persons heard the shot, but no one paid any attention to it, at the time.
 The horses belonging to the runaway Irislman, John Donlon, have been found in Ct. Harrington, and brought back by the sher- iff It is hoped the creditors will realize some thing from them.
