WALL STREET, |

WEDNESDAY. July 23--s P. M
The speculative doctors who. with their fingers
upon the pulse Of the stock market assume to dag
nose the course of prices have with great unanimity
expressed belief that weakness had set in which
could only be recovered from when cooler breezes
shonld blow and the great operators. returned to
town. should administer the stimulant of general
rally. For their reputation and pockets sake
1t would have been better had these stock doctors.
like their brethren of the medical world agreed to
difer. for their representations. viewed by the
Light of to-day's market have been entirely. CON-
pletely and absurdly wrong. Instead of sinking
away into a semi-comatose state of general dulness
and lower Values the market shortly after the
opening this morning showed such signs
of restored animation gave FLIP to the whole
list and quite set the market upon its bull legs
again. Whether this recovery be only of sporadic
nature is likely to become epidemic q few days
few days back have made mistake. There is evil
IDENTIFY behind the throne Of greater strength
than credit was given for, which has absorbed the
blocks OF stocks they offered and has had the
Rudscty to bid for The discovery Of this fact
led to change Of tactics to-day. which hurried
many previous sellers into the market to re-
purchase. thoroughly scared the bears and added
materially to the size Of quotations. The fact
seems to be that the speculative potentates
ket, but that many of the better class
" railroads have been bought outright
being carried on liberal margins by parties who be-
ieve in their value investments to materially
thwart the designs Of the professional stockjob-
bers who are laboring for fall. That there would
be lul in speculation. and with it dropping mar
ket for few weeks to come. seemed to be ap
parent as the upon the face Of humanitarian;
but the situation stated above and the reports of
tho almost utter destruction of crops in England and
France. together with the estimate that something
like $500 900 600 would flow into this country in
turn for breadstufs exported, has materially
changed the aspect of things. The most active
stocks to-day were the grangers, Lake Shore, Della
ware and Lackawanna, and the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre assented, and Rome and Watertown first mort.
gage bonds. Louisiana consols broke to 81 a. possi-
bly, from fear Of yellow fever. but more likely from
tho fact that the State is already suffering under the
infection of tainted credit. The closing prices,
particularly for the leading stocks the highest
of the day, and there every appearance of
brilliant opening tomorrow morning.
The extreme fluctuations of the day in leading
stocks shown in the following table Of prices:-

The New York herald., 1879-10-24

Senator Conkling has excellent reasons
to be gratified by the voluntary appearance
of Secretary Evarts in the Cooper Union
as an advocate of the election of Mr.. Cor
nell for Governor of New York, and incl
dentally of the denomination of. President
Hayes predecessor as the republican can
didate for third term. The announce
ments volunteered by Senator Blaine and
Secretary Sherman that they will follow
Mr.. Evarts must also be gratifying to him.
The Senator's return to his Congressional
labors at the beginning of the long session
in December seems likely to be at
tended with all the accomplishments
of Roman triumph. "A triumph" says
Dr. William Smith, the learned British au-
thority concerning classical antiquities,
''was solemn procession, in which vic
torious general (Mr. Conkling) entered the
city of Rome (Washington) in n chariot
drawn by four horses. He was preceded
by the captives (Messrs. Evarts, Blaine and
Sherman) and by the spoils Of war (the
fruits OF the New York election), was fol-
lowed by his troops (tho stalwarts), and
after passing in state along the Via Sacra
(Pennsylvania avenue) assembled to the
Capitol to offer sacrifice in the Temple of
Jupiter General Grant,"
The unprecedented feature of the occa-
sion and the highest tribute to Senator
Conkling's skilful generalship consists in
the fact that the surrender of oil these distin-
guished captives is voluntary. In the times
ofancient Rome captive kings were known to
poison themselves rather than be led in a
triumph, but Messrs. Evarts, Blaine and
Sherman put n cheerful face on it. The
former even cracks jokes upon his situa-
ton. He seldom has been merrier than he
was in the Cooper Union Tuesday night.
There is u serious risk, however, that cap
tives used to undergo In Roman tri-
umph, with which it is prudent for Messrs
Evarts, Blaine and Sherman and their po-
litical friends to acquaint themselves, so as
to be prepared to encounter it with forti-
tude. Just as the pomp was ascending
the Capitoliue Hill." says DIR. Smith, "some
of the hostile chiefs we're led aside into the
adjoining prison and put to death, Gus
tom 80 barbarous that we could scarcely
believe that it existed In civilized age
were it not attested by the most unques-
tionable evidence"
