The speculative doctors who diagnosed yester-

inclined to-day to report it to be las well as
could be expected" Whatever changes or values oc-

ton and the differences at the end of the day were
marked by .'infnitesimals." That is to say that
things and no better. and that for the
day least allopaths of tho bull contingent re-
Trained from any heroic which might tend
TO strengthen the market. Left thus without
especial speculative aid. most of the usually active
stocks remained duh and neglected. The Northwest
ems, the ST. Pauls ard Lake Shore scarcely varied
more than one-quarter per cent the day through.
while the ight-timbered outsiders scarcely changed
at all Such animation existed confined to Erie
and the coal stocks. As regards the first mentioned.
it clear that the squirt engineered in this market
yesterday would call for sellers upon the London
market to-day and these sold the more freely in that
they had been cut Off from marketing their holdings
by yesterdays holiday. Consequently the price fell
on the London market and was shaky upon the home
one nothing better being achieved this side Of tho
water than keeping the quotation steady. There be-
ing real work cut out for profitable operations in
the general list Spectators passed their leisure time
until afternoon hours in dancing attendance upon the
Anthracite Board of Control which held their meeting
to-day. In waiting for the verdict from this body,
as to whether the coal companies to be guilty
not guilty OF combination for 1879, the general
market remained sluggish and dull. When the news
came. however. that nothing had been done at the
meeting briss activity sprung up in Delaware and
Lackawanna which depressed the stock from AN to
Ak. though at the close Al Il obtained. 1t ap-
pears that the Lehigh Valley Company failed to put

pensable factor it agreed that action could be
taken toward renewing this combination for another
year. SO it would appear that the monopoly is dead
and delivered to the neutrality-suspicious. in
p0cc-no flowers. In proof that the combination
Is very dead indeed. and shamming. we hear from
good authority that the Beading Railroad has dis

Lehigh Valley Company and that the latter corpora

the company, the value of which. az estimated

Sl.oo 900 in the hopes of striking bargain. II our

that the Lehigh Valley Company does not mean to
tie itself up by any combination. but intends to in
its production and sell it at best obtainshle

Congressman Wren. Description.


Congressman Wren has written from
Washington 10 the Eureka Leader. civ.
ing a brief description Of the great de.
bate in the United States Senate between
Blaine and Thurman. Here Is Mr..
wren's concluding paragraph The
hammer OF the Vice President fell and he
announced that the morning hour had
expired. Senator Hamlin Immediately
made the necessary preliminary motion
to bring on the great debate. This &C.
cupied but a few minutes. when Blaine
rose. In an instant there was Q hush
like the grave throughout that vast audi
ence. The people OF the galleries in
voluntarily leaned forward to catch
every word that fell from the lips OF the
speaker. The Senator had evidently
prepared his speech with great care. and
read II from his manuscript. q little
book. seven or eight inches long and
three or four wide. II was temperate
as well as able. and Senator Thurman,
who had been selected by the Democrats
to answer Blaine. found 1t difficult
task. as sufficiently appears from tho
printed speeches I send you. Lamar
attempted o reply. but was most success
fully used up by Edmunds. Lamar 70.
vissd bis speech before its publication,
and u 10 not printed - delivered.
