Steamer Brittania. went down to see tn
great magnate of, resolving that the cor
respondent OF the Dallas HERALD sho did no
be wanting on such an occasion. On intro
ducing myself VIM. II. looked aslonishet
and curiously asked: HAS the Dallas HER
AID representative here?" Ny 6fiirma
tive reply caused him to look more sur
prised, yet he was affable, ready to answer
any fair questions put to him. Vanderbilt
is modest appearing, we'll built gentleman
with prominent, Dundreary whiskers, a
merry twinkle in his eye and face that
shows not the slightest trace of care.
He assured me that his retirement would
not affect the stocks he controls inasmuch
as he intends to protect the interests he now
holds; at this moment he excused himself
and disappeared below.
It is the opinion of the best informed that
Vanderbilts retirement gives healthier
aspect to the market, for now small specu-
lators can afford to buy according to their
Judgment without fearing the brute force
of one giant. The universal advice to Gould
is go and do thou likewise" 1t is GER
tainly a fact that Gould and Vanderbilt
WELD go much power that the smaller in
vesters are forced to quit or else give their
little all to swell the piles of these two gen,
tlemen, so now these little fish of Wall
street have a shadow of q chance to cope
with the sharks. What effect the retire
ment can have remains to be seen. 1t is
notable. however, that a. .er the news, of Mr..
Vanderbilt's action became more widely
known the "Vanderbilts" dropped some,
though they speedily recovered themselves.
The stock and bond market has been very
dull and monotonous during the week, on
the whole, with but few exceptions, such as
the Texas r. r. bonds and stocks, wi ich
had strong upward tendency. The fau.
cies enjoyed much needed r t and alto
Lether the fluctuations were decidedly lin
tied. What the morrow will bring forth no
one can tell, thus prediction at the present
time would be little previous.
Cotton was quite tame on the whole, yet
the exports for the week exceeded those OF
the same week of lat year by more than
81, 600 bales. This being the case, fair
market for the ensuing week is more that
probable.
Provisions, pork, beef, etc., seem to have
shared the general inactivity of the week,
t ne sales being only for demand. No spec
ulations gave a slight attempt to corner
lard, which has in trnth not affected the
genera state of things; this concludes the
brief resume of the past wcek-a dull dead
market.
The city is quite worked up just now on
account of the recent rupture between Gov
ernor Cleveland and John Kelly the usual
complaint is the cause, fight C ,ncerning the
distribution of political patronage.

it allows the free consultation of regular

to stand by the old code and Professor Aus

professors abide by the code as adopted by
the American Medical association, and has

themselves TO- the new code, foremost
among the resigned is the well known
Professor Howe, chemical instructor in sur
gerry. On the other hand the faculty OF the
college ofph. ysicians and surgeons espoused
the cause of the new code, so for once the
people here have chance to read the bick-
erings of their bedside comforters, who con-
trary to their usual way have transferred
their attacks and replies from the Medical
Journal to the Daily Press.
