There were sales Of North Division City Rail-
way bonds at 105h and interest, and Of Cook
County S per cents at 10oh and interest.
Realfzations were the order Of the day in
stocks, and under the pressure to sell there was
decline in some of the recently prominent
features, especially St. Joe. In some quarters
it is he1d that the market has broken for good,
and that the leading operators having made
heavy profits will now retire for the summer.
New York Central has stirred at last, and went
up from 1853 to u736, closing at 117A. This
advance, for wonder, was unacco1npanied by
the report that Jay Gould had bought the con-
troll OF the road. The Northwesterns and St.
Pau1s we're depressed, probably for speculative
reasons. This downward move may be
the first play Of the Chicago clique,
who have now got the innings in the
Wa1l~street game. Northwest common opened
at 60, and sold at the close at the lowest point
Of the day, 5SA; the preferred went without
rally from 9Ol1 to 6914. St. Paul common lost
IL, to 40A; and the preferred rs, to 81A.
One Of the odd features Of the market has
been the dul1ness Of the investment stocks.
Amid the excitement around them, Rock
1sla,ld gave little sign Of life by advancing
from 131A to 1315<. Illinois Central improved
77S, to 65X; and Michigan Central 175, to s276,
Tie war in the Southwest did not prevent
rise OF " in Alton, to n. St. Joe lost
large part Of Fridays gain, and declined from
20 to 1875 for the common, and from 43115 to
to 411< 1or the preferred. The coal stocks
we're shorn OF part Of their late
gains. Delaware & Hudson opened and
closed at 45. Lackawanna advanced from 531f
to 54336, but finally sold at 5326. Jersey Gen.
tral gained &, to 4531, reacted to Az, and
closed OF Az, The Gould combination stocks
we're not strong. Union Pacific lost IS, to TX;
Erie Is, to 26}15; and Wabash y, to 32N. Kan
sas Pacific rose from IS to IS, but went out at
AZ. Kansas City g. Northern lost y, to 12A,
and the preferred q, to SIX. St. Louis d San
Francisco common was Il better, Mt 81, and the

was 224.

ternoon and two OF three Of them gathered to-
gether ABOUT the committed. room Of the Board Of
Trade. and, when they went away wondering why
the others did not come. two or three more ap-
peared att the meeting place. and they too went
away, wondering why the others did not come.
No quorum, no meeting
On 'Change grain ireights were quiet &c being
the asking rate On corn to Buffalo, though it was
thought that some vessels could be had for 31zc,
though no one wanted to - give it away" as the
saying goes.
It was said yesterday that the rate was put down
to 4c for the reason that it was considered ex-
pedent in view Of the fact that rAil rates are low
and the water tariff must be fixed accordingly.
The owners here claim that they were not in
duenced II their action by the local Boards OF other
ports.

HOG PRODUCTS-W apparently quiet though
amodcrarely large volume OF business was trans
acted in the aggregate: largely. however, In
changes from one month to another. The market
was easy near the outset under rather rather free
offerings. though hogs were quoted l0M15c per 100
lbs higher, and Liverpool reported IN advance OF
Sd in lard and Cd in meats. Subsequently the
tone changed to one Of drmness. There WINS fair
shipping demand, but the trading in futures seemed
to be chiefly local.

The Story OF Thomas Hood. T

Death and fame came to Thomas Hood
almost together. For twenty years he
had held his place among the rank and
file of literature, earning thereby little
more than daily bread and the applause
that's but of . moment, when in 1843, the
Christmas number of Punch electrified
its readers with the ''Song of the Shirt
Those wonderful verses went from news
paper to newspaper. The laurels reapad5
by the author were, however, barren, and
the sunshine of celebrity had nothing
golden in rs beams. With the new year
was born an untucky publication christ
ened Hood s Magazine. Misfortunes fell
thick upon beth periodical and editor,
and the flashes of merrimentn that the
latter still put forth came from life
blackened with the thunderclouds Of
sickness and calamity. BY May, Hood
was in q sick-room, and as editorial apol-
ogys for non-continuance of a novel he
had commenced, sent forth a drawing Of
"a plate Of leeches, a blister, a cup of
water guel, and three labeled vials. All
the rest OF that year, and far into the
spring OF the next, the light Of life still
flicke-ed on, solnetimost burning up
brightly enough for the sick man to re-,
sumo his pen, sometimes all but. fading
away into eternity. az am so near
