A Very Dull Day-Course of the Money
Market-The Railroad Quarrel, Etc.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Wall street reports
state that the largest comm 'ssion houses say
that yesterday was the dullest day in the mar
ket for year. There is disposition in some
quarters to advise the purchase OF stock, on
the theory that anything is better than COM
plete stagnation, and natural causes favor an
advance more than a decline.
1t is believed that money was bid up yester
day afternoon in order to quicken the move
ment of bonds into the treasury to-day. Lead
ing bankers said yesterday that the movement
OF money to and from the interior was quite
evenly balanced, although the gain, if any,
was in favor of interior points. 1t is thought
that the interest and dividend disbursements,
coupled with bond redemptions, will make
money very easy after the first of January.
The railroad situation has changed somewhat
within few DAYS, 1t is unqueStiOnably true
that the compromise offered by the New York
Central at the conference Saturday, was not
accepted by the Pennsylvania company, and
that nothing further is likely to be done in the
matter Immediately. Mr.. Vanderbilt made a
liberal proposition for the adjustment of diff
ferential rates, and another for the settlement
of the whole question at issue, and 1t is BY no
means certain that either will be renewed. 1t
is understood in we'll Informed circles that Mr.
Vanderbilt is about to retire from the active
management of his properties, leaving the
practical administration in the hands of Mr.
Rutter and Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt. A con-
ference was held at the Windsor Hotel yester-
day afternoon, between Messrs Blanchard and
Jewett of the Erie, Mccullough of the Penn
sylvania Company, Stewart OF the Fort Wayne
road, and others. at which contract was
made between the Erie and Pennsylvania com
panies for the diversion of freight from the
Lake shore to the Pennsylvania lines. 1t is
reported that the contract gives Erie special
facilities tor reaching the principal cities con-
nected by the Pennsylvania system.
A leading coal operator says he has never

The London Times on the Attitude OF the
United States.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Times, on the rela-
tions of the United States with Chill and Peru,
says:-It is satisfactory that Mr.. Hurlbut's &C.
centricities have been reproved by the State
Department. We cannot doubt that America
is sincere in her desire to reconcile the victors
and vanquished. The appearance of dictation
and craftsmanship may be explained by the unit
ness of the instruments chosen by the Secretary
of State. 1t is not likely that England or any
European State will be tempted to NEEDLE in
the affairs of South America, but such inter-
vention might be necessary if European inter-
ests should be affected. 1t must not be imag-
ined that the European powers can acquiesce
in the very wide extension of the Monroe doc
trine implied in Secretary Blaine's dispatches.
Interye ntion for the protection of European
interests is as rightfully claimed by the powers
as it is by the United States for the protection
of their interests In China and Japan.
The News, referring to Secretary Blaine's
dispatches to Ministers Hurlbut and Kilpat-
rick, says:-"It is satisfactory to find that the
spread-eageism of Blaine is disapproved by
the American press and people,"

Sympathy with Invalids.

Sick persons are, it is to be feared, not al
ways objects of sympathy to those imme-
diately around them. Indeed, Charles Lamb,
than whom probably no kinder man ever ex-
listed, admitted openly that he not only did not
pity sick persons, but positively hated them.
This feeling Of impotence with invalids appears
occasionally to extend even to institutions ex-
pressly established for the relief and mitigation
of their sufferings-to Judge by an almost in
credible statement made at an inquest held q
Few days ago before the Macclesfeld borough
coroner. woman, Lightweight years Of age,
who was admitted to the infirmary in conSe-

because she mOaned at NIGHT" The jury, in
returning verdict of accidental death, eX-
pressed their strong disapprOval OF this pro-
ceedlng; and it must be admitted that, assum-
ing the evidence given to be trustworthy, the
story is, to say the least, remarkable. If an old

with an accident is turned out of an infrmary

to hold them responsible for the difficulty they
experience in drawing their last breath. Per-
haps, however, in well-regulated infirmaries
where absolute stiffness is enforced, patients
are warned that they must die nOiseiessly.

THERE is tendency to the use Of plain cloths
this season. Greyhound color is the latest fash
ionable shade, though golden brown, called va
riously mustard and pheasant brown, is also
worn. Greyhound color is deep blush gray,
little grayer than any army blue, and is espe-
cially stylish in tailor-made suit, with turban
and muf to match trimmed with the brilliant
blue feathers of the impion. Aturban and mu6
trimmed with pheasant feathers is stylishly worn
with golden brown cloth dress. The turbans
