New YORK, Aug 21.-The stock market dur.
ing the early hours was irregular but In the
main lower, owing to the heavy realizing sales
yesterday. Prices declined "a to ~ per cent.
Missouri Pacific Lake shore Northwest IT.

ward movement Amer II a. IN. the market
began to strengthen, and under purchases for
the long account and by the room traders
prices advanced y to ~ per cent, the latter
In Union Pacific and Louisville and Nashville
scored the next greatest advance, selling up 10
IA per cent. At the close there was reac.
off strong. In the loan department Missouri
Pacific commanded i-i6 per cent per diem for
use, Michigan Central 1872, Canadian Pacific,

compared with last night s closing prices are x
TO IA per cent. higher, except for Canada
southern, Denver, and New York Central,
which are fractionally lower.
The opinion Is freely expressed that the bull
cliques rather favored decline In order TO in.
duco an increase In short interest, which has
been greatly reduced this week. The bears
say that the cliques are overloaded with stocks
and that anyenort 70 market them would re-
suit in serious declines, but there seems TO be
no organized bear party, and II Is understood
that the exchange place bears express them
selves as disinClincd to offer any opposition
now TO the bull movement
Cammack Is doing very little OF present
Many theories are advanced for the reaction
| at yesterdays closing, among which were re.
| ports that Saratoga hnd realized considerably;
also that Russell Sage had boen selling out a
| batch of stocks which he had carried since tho
May panic' further, that Chicago bull traders
threw over n lot of grangers stock upon the
signal service kilograms Of cold wavo moving
toward the corn belt. The traders agreed thai
many stocks had been sold at handsome profits.
| They expected prices would probably be lower
| this morning. The bears claimed that the
bulls had tried to get stocks higher yesterday
and there was any amount of barofaced manip
| ulation, especially In Union Pacific, Missouri
| Pacific, and Western Union.
| IL is currently reported that ii. N. Smith raj
| on lot of his shorts In the Union Pacific nnC
other stocks yesterday, aud that there Is still
large uncovered short interest In the Unioi
Pacific which Is liable to be twisted.
The Gould following talk very confidently
of much higher prices. They also give bui
points on Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, ant
| Western Union.
The temper of tho room Is rather more bear
ish on account of the inactivity, but IL Is oX
pected prices will be rallied by the cliques.
The earnings of the Union Pacific for the

A Story of the War.

There is as one might expect much unwritten history in the life of Thurlow Weed. Among Mir. Weeds papers was found the following:
 ''It will be remembered that early in the rebellion a Russian fleet lay for sev- eral months in our habor, and that other Russian men-of-war were stationed at San Francisco. Admiral Farragut lived at the Astor House, where he was fre- quently visited by the Russian admiral, between whom, when they were young officers serving in the Mediterranean, a warm friendship had grown up. Sitting in my room one day after dinner Ad- miral Farragut said to his Russian friend, Why are you spending the win. ter here in idlenessP I am here, re- piled the Russian Admiral, under sealed orders, to be broken only in a contin- gency that has not yet occurred He added that other Russian war vessels were lying of San Francisco with simi- lar orders. During the conversation the Russian Admiral admitted that he had received orders to break the seals, if during the rebellion we became involved in a war with foreign nations. Strict confidence was then enjoined.
 "When in Washington a few days later, Secretary Seward informed me that he had asked the Russian Minister why his government kept their ships of war so long in our harbors, who, while in answering he disclaimed any knowl- edge of the nature of their visit, felt at liberty to say that it had no unfriendly purpose.
 "Louis Napoleon had invited Russia, as he did England, to unite with him in demanding the breaking of our blockade. The Russian Ambassador at London in. formed his government that England was preparing for war with America on account of the seizure of Mason and Slidell. Hence two fleets were imme. diately sent across the Atlantic under sealed orders, so that if their services were not needed the intentions of the Emperor would remain, as they have to this day, secret. It is certain, however, that when our government and the Union were imperiled by formidable rebellion we should have found power ful ally in Russia had an emergency oc- cured"
 The latter revelation is said to be cor roborated by a well-known New York gentleman, who was in St. Petersburg when the rebellion began, and who, during an unofficial call upon Prince Gortschakoff, was shown by the Chan cellor an order written in Alexander's own hand, directing his Admiral to re- port to President Lincoln for orders in case England or France sided with the Confederates.
Connecticut western news., 1884-02-20
An English Girl in Canada.

There are two sorts of beauty among the girls of Canada, says 0 newspaper correspondent, as there are two kinds of girls the English Canadian and the French Canadian. The English Can- adians are beautiful rather than pretty.
 The French girls are captivatingly pretty.
 The English girl is tall and strongly built. She walks with her figure rigidly erect and her head held up, from con- sciousness of strength rather than from pride. Her cheeks are like the sides of peach that has just begun to ripen.
 The rose blush blends with the pink,
 that is in turn lost in the general creamy tint of the whole face. Waves of flaxen or light-brown hair curtain her forehead,
 or perhaps her hair is puffed into a cloud that projects beyond her sealskin cap. She has big deep-blue eyes,
 eloquent of good health and good na- ture, and blazing at Q touch of excite ment. Being an athlete, she is a model of good health, and the equal of her brothers at the dinner table. Her nose and mouth are not too fashionably small. They match her fine stature, and the healthy, graceful carriage that tell of stout limbs and developed muscles. What a lesson the Montreal girl teaches to the New York mothers who bring their daughters up indoors like hot house plants, for fear they will not be lady-Iike and womanly These robust girls, in modesty, in grace, in softness of speech and femininity generally, are the peers of daughters of Murray Hill, and yet there is hardly one that cannot stand by her brothers side in whatever sport he is enjoying. These girls can climb a mountain like deer, they can skate like the women of Holland, they are at home on snowshoes, the mad sport of the toboggan hills is everyday fun to them. As these words are written they are scudding on snowshoes on the hill, applauding the curriers' in the Gov ernment sheds, driving their ponies at a three-minute gait ahead of their sleighs, skimming breathlessly down the slides, cutting threes and eights in the skating rinks, and bustling along the streets at a gait that makes New York man feel as though he was taking root in the snow.
