The stock market to-day again was more active.
and the transactions amounted to 133,45 shares.
But the activity was confined to Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western, Erie and the St. Paul and
Northwestern stocks, which recorded sales Of 114,-
600 shares all at steadily declining prices with the
final prices the lowest of the day. The entire move
ment lacked excitement, and there being
no indications of "bear" operations, the
tail may be attributed TO the constant drop
ping of :" long" stock upon the market. The
operators at the Exchange seem to be
reluctant to believe the reports from the West of
the serious damage done to the crops, and have re-
garded them as gross eXaggeratons for purposes OF
stock speculation. At the same time, the method
and manner of the rise in the common stocks OF the
st. Paul and Northwest companies, from about their
present prices, which ruled last Winter, has been
forgotten. SO that il has been difficult TO believe
that stocks which had fallen 20 per cent
could fail TO have a great reaction. This
has kept the short y interest within
moderate dimensions, that important
element toward making sharp rallies has been lack
ing in the market. Lake Shore to-day was as dull
as usual, the total sales beng only $500 shares,
but its price declined from GA TO Ga The trad
ing in the remainder of the list small, but at
saggng prices with the exception of Union Pacific,
winch sold at G4lsG6f540G4l2 The market closed
weak and unsettled.

The stock market during the week ending with
today was less active and less exciting than had
been those of the preceding two weeks. The total
tronsactons for this week amounted to only SS095O
sbares. against 1871, AL for last week. But the
snecuIation was characterized by the same general
features as have previously prevailed. Following
general impression that the prices of the stocks OF
the Wisconsin railroads had touched bedrock"
there we're frequent rallies, the most important OF
which occurred early in the week, and
amounted TO about 8 per cent on the stocks
named. and TO from to per cent in the prices OF
stocks which had made smaller declines. But with
the recurrence of each rally the desire to sell was
s MAINLY apparent as it had been at higher prices
Ga that. with few and unimpOrtant exceptions the
final plices are lower than they were one week ago
and in the case of the St. Paul stocks lower than Mt
any preyious time during the recent decline. The
trnnk line shares have been dull although Michigan
Central made sudden rally from 61 "a to 65ls with
ont business. but il closed at 63, the same
price as on last Friday. Lake Shore has
averaged transactions of only about 1O,OOO
shares day, between the figures of 62'e96lls and
63a6Ia. Erie rose from 177s to 1888 and then
fell TO 17917ls, The coal stocks made an impor-
tant decline then rallied, but closed weak at final
declines OF 45s per cent for Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western SO for Delaware and Hudson, and
2zs mar cent for Central of New-Jersey. The
stocks showing small final gains are G., u, Z. and

II has been found impossible to
obtain exact statistics concerning
the loss Of life in India by the re.
cent famine. One authority esti-
mates the number OF deaths at six
millions, but this ia regarded by
others as q great exaggeration. A
writer in the London Times shows
that in fifteen of the worst afflicted
districts Of Madras the loss Of life
was about two and half per cent
Of the population, and he accounts
for the larger reduction Of the pop
ulation by the fact that thousands Of
persons emigrated from the country
when the destitution became severe.
The famine cost the British govern
ment fourteen million pounds, or
nearly seventy millions Of dollars,
and to this must be added nearly q
million pounds more contributed by
private bepevolence in the British
islands.

Despite many predictions to the
contrary. il is now definitely settled
that the railroaders aud miners
in the Schuylkill region did get
enough Of striking last year. They
are sick Of it and don't want any
more. At q meeting Of the Knights
Of Labor held last week, at which
the question Of general strike was
discussed, it was decided by q heavy
majority not to 60 into the strike
which was contemplated. This ends
the danger Of strike in that region
and il will without doubt be discov.
cred that the workingmen Of other
regions are just as tired Of strikes
as those Of the Schuylkill region
They found out last year just how
much can be accomplished by strik-
ing, and have come to the sensible
conclusion than the results are moi
worthy the means.

The statistician OF the Treasury
Department at Washington, publish
es statement showing that the
balance Of trade in favor Of the
United States for tho fiscal year
ending June 80, 1873, amounted to
the unprecedented sum in the his
tory Of American commerce Of $257,.
832, 2,667. 90. The total imports were
$437, ,051, $500, and the total ex-
ports were $604. 1884, 200 90.
This is an encouraging sign. The
United States sold to Europe nearly
two hundred and fifty eight million
dollars worth Of property more than
we bought, and that makes that
much Of 0 balance in favor Of this
country, This will account for the
return OF United States bonds from
Europe. The interest paid on them
will remain here and not be sent "a
Europe.

The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can says that zone Of tho most char
ming signs OF improvement is the
unparalleled activity in the settling
OF western lands this season. Not
only is the amount many times grea
tor than last year, or any year since
1873, but the prices obtained are
much higher than any previous year.
The effect OF this upon the indus
trial classes con hardly be over esti-
mated. Every settler becomes q
producer and an employer, instead
OF consumer and a laborer for day
wages. 1t also means still further
reduction in the cost OF the necessi
ties of life, 30 that tho wages OF the
workingman will go further. At the
present rate Of development, We
shall soon fnd this country not only
the best in the world to live in, but
also the cheapest"

Breaking The Line.

There have been some little dem
onstrations Of disagreement among
the Southern Democrats, whereat
certain amiable and sanguine gen.
tle,oen at Washington and elsewhere
are rubbing their hands in CLEO.
Senator Lamar has made protest
against "the Mississippi plan" Of
overcoming hottie msjorities with
shot-guns Pcstmaster.G General Key
forsees a split on the Reputation
issue in Tennessee. An independent
faction has carried various local Off
GERS at Memphis. Jefferson Davis
threatens TO mako mischief for his
own friends by running for the Uni
ted States Senate. In one way OF
another, members of tho Admins
tration think they can discover signs
Of disintegration in the Solid South
as q practical and emphatic approval
Of tho Presidents policy, and as
soon as il comes to the test OF the
polls they believe that Bourbonism
will, in some way not very well un
derstood, lose oil It's vitality. There
is no use quarreling with anybody
expectations. II they are unbound
ed, time is q great undeceiver, and
the dreamers will wake soor
enough.
But while ameteur statesmen,
PLEASED with . rattle, tickled with ,
straw"
amuse themselves with these delu.
sions, wo think Il is best 10 remind
the leaders Of the Republican party
that the next campaign has to b.
fought at the North, and Tough
hard. It has never been the custom
OF Democrats to divide Themselves
into independent squads on tho eve
OF an election and 60 off this way
and that, skylarking, and picknicing
and singing sentimental songs and
we do not think they are going t
begin that sort OF thing now wher
80 great prize is almost within
their reach. The Southern Demo
Gratis will close up their ranks wher
the word is given, and march to th,
polls as one man. They always do
I'VE dare say that the President
when he reads the returns, will b.
the most astonished man in the U
nited States but people who hav'
perhaps o more intimate acquain
tance with the unpleasant aspects o
practical selfish politics will not bt
astonished in the least.
Instead then OF wasting time il
futile efforts to persuade the Demo
Gratis to break their line-just 70
the fun Of the thing, as II we're, an,
to sec how it would look that wa
lit will be best for rs to do all tha
We can to strengthen our own. Their
is no sort Of prospect ofa split il

nately some division among the Re
publicans. Our business is to &c
our own forces in order and "
