While speculation was active in the stock
department last week it did not effect ex-
changes relatively more than operations of
one year ago. The sales of stock amounted
to 2, ,7S9,2N shares and exchanges, after de-
ducting the double value of stocks sold,
amounted to almost $743, $4,000 against
S599, ,130, 900, for the corresponding week last
year, gain of "a per cent. The gain at
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and New Orleans
was comparatively small, while the encrease
at Boston, Pittsburg and Louisville, among the
larger cities, was particularly encouraging,
but the weekly reports hardly suffice to war
rant the inference that the transfers of trade
from one city to another are taking place.
San Francisco reports notable gain; but in
part because its exchanges one year
ago were unusually small, and the comparison
at Kansas City is with the week in which ex-
changes exceeded those of 1879 by 9.46 per
cent. Most of the manufacturing and minor
trading centers seem to keep pace very fairly
with the large cities in the growth of business,
and there is no indication of any considerable
falling off in any branch of trade or manu-
factures in any part of the country. On the
contrary, evidence of general and large i'm
provement is conclusive. The country never
has done as much business in May as it is do
ing now.

proposed to restore what the bill of
1870 was intended to give. Parnell urged the
government TO transplant the surplus popula-
ton to land capable of improvement, and en-
ed supply of food, instead of getting out of
the difficulty by promoting emigration. One
of the great reasons why Irish enterprise was
so kept down, was because Ireland was
under the curse of foreign rule.

ment regarding the circumstances attending
Flsh's retirement from the diplomatic service
and the selection of Mr.. Cramer to succeed him
as charge d affaires of the United States at
Berne. When Grant was in Washington,
shortly after President Gariield's Inauguration,
he made several requests of the President, of
which the latter made written memo
randa in Gen. Grants presence. The
request in regard to Mr.. Cramer was
that he might be transferred from Denmark
to more southerly cline. As Gen. Grant
specified, he did not ask higher grade, only
milder climate. The resignation of MIR. n.
Fish from the Swiss mission of the same
grade at Denmark opened the way for comply
ing with Ger. Grants request and the President
promptly availed himself of it in supposed
compliance with Gen. Grants earnest wish
personally expressed. In regard to the re-
signation of Mr.. Fish from the Swiss
mission, papers in file in the diplo-
