NEW YoRE. Nov. 27. The feature of the day in speculativs circles was the extreme dullnses which prevailed the total sales amounting only to 122 800 shares. The market wore tired appearances and not enough vim could be tn- fused into by the few brokers present to 8 momentary boom. The room traders and profess sionai speoulators arrayed themselves against other, some taking bearish view of affairs. while others held opposite opinions in regard to matters betWeen these factions there frequent contests but the former invariably came ont ahead cutting ooWn every rally, no matter how small. The fre- Quent ana shght fluctuations Of which the day was fruftfu1 were mainly the result of these co3tests There was an entire lack of news that would in any way tend to strengthen vaues and at the close prices were at or nesr the lowest of the day. The bears circulated report early in the day that St. Paul had made rate of $a50 that the other roads of the Iowa pool had reduced their rates from $14 to SIG People identified with St. Paul placed credsnce the report asserting that the St. Paul would hardly nave made reduction at this time and if it had the others would have met 1t 6quarely. The Changers weakened slightly on the report. but it generally dscredted on the street. few of ths active stocks show a 1mAl gain over Saturdays closing. The weakest stocks the active list were Burlington and Quincy, Manitobs, Central Pacific, Denver, Reading and Texas Pacihc. The speclalt:es were generally lower.

 1n..a..z--n


 Peaceful Farmer of Rocky Hill. George Doverson. respected Rocky Hill farmer, while returning home from Meriden Saturday night, having disposed of load of produce in Meriden, was attacked in Berlin in piece of woods by three tramps. Day. erson says one of his assailsnts seized his horse, and another pointed revolver at his head and demanded his money.
 Doverson threw mp his arms and knocked the pistol out of the fellows hands The weapon was discharged and the ball passed through Doverson's hat The horses became frightened at the report and dashed away from the man who held them. The third man then fired at DoVerson, but he was not hit One of the shots struck one of the horses on the shoulder, making 8 deep wound. The affair has just come to light. At the New Depot-A1ds to the Traveller
 The new pocket time table of the ConsoH dated road contains several improvements which the travelling public will appreciate. The tables have been rearranged and read justed, adding to their perspicuity. Among other changes, the Hartford division time ia. ble now reads continuously and connectedly with the New York division. On the reverse side the Shore Line table is now SO arranged that the traveller can see at a glance the re. lation of trains on that road to the trains fol New York or intermediate places, and vice versa.
 The ''train indicator" at tho Union depot in this city also is an improvement. It con sists of large frame upon the wall, divided by panels one for each line of road. These panels are filled with slips resembling tht slats of window blinds, which correspond tc the number of stations on the roads. Al stations at which the train (next to start stops are designated by the slats and all slat for stations at which it does not stop are re versed and show their green backs, all O which is done by the aid of ingenious appa ratus.
