NEW YORK,



New YORK, MAY, 5.-The market had
very ragged appearance, with special weak
ness in Union Pacific and Western Union.
Later in the day stocks generally picked up a
little and the tone improved. There was con-
siderable activity in Mahattan Elevated rail-
road and rise in it from 50 to 81 and Ore
gon railway was also strong. West Shore
bonds sold up to 56 and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred advanced lover 2 per cent The bal
ance of the list changed but little. There
are many who believe that Mr.. Gould has
been a free seller of his southwesterns
and purchaser of the Northern Pacific
stocks and bonds. The Indebtedness of the
line to the Missouri Pacific is supposed to be
very large, Mr.. Vanderbilt's Michigan
Central system was the weakest feature to-
day. The stocks seemed left to take care of
themselves. Denver appeared dilapidated.
Stocks picked up sharply in the closing hour
and closed rather firm all around. Northern
Pacific earnings for the fourth week in April
increased S263, 900. Union Pacific, Northern
Pacific preferred, New York Central and
Lake Shore were scarce for delivery to-day,
looming at small premium.
A. NJ. Day says: ''The market opened
nervous and heavy, the air being full of ru-
mors affecting The standing of well known
operators. None of them were confirmed,
which induced better feeling and rally,
which was maintained to the close, the ad-
vance being led by the Northern Pacific,
Grangers, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
West Shore bonds. The Gould party is talk
ing very bullish, and the strength of stocks
this afternoon is attributed to purchases for
Gould's account and heavy covering by
prominent bears. West Shore bonds ad-
vanced on the report that the company has
agreed on satisfactory financial policy, and
the general outlook favors higher prices at
the opening tomorrow. Canadian Pacific
earnings for the fourth week of April were
5000, same week last year, S124, 900;
mileage 2,496. Northern Pacific earnings
for the fourth week in April were s437, 900;

A Lively Chicken Main.

About the liveliest cooking main that has
ever taken place in Minnesota was held at
Lake Johanna, about four miles from this
city, yesterday, between a noted bird fancier
of Minneapolis and a chicken fancier from
st. Paul.
The contest was long and spirited, begin
ming at Z O'Clock in the morning and lasting
nearly all day. The sport was witnessed by
a number of invited chicken fanciers from
the two cities, and money was wagered free
ly. The match was between twenty birds,
ten from each backer, and the battle was de-
cided in favor of the Minneapolis man.
During the contest one rooster was killed
and half dozen others were knocked out
on both sides.
The betting was heavy and great deel of
money changed hands. 1t is understood
that another match will be arranged shortly
between the same parties.

ing steady. On the call provisions were
changed.
The CATTLE trade was rather slow until late
in the forenoon, when buyers began to take
hold more freely. There was little or no
change in prices as compared with Friday
last, which was the last real market day, as
there was not sufficient business on Saturday
to make market.
Hogs were active at prices shade higher
on good to choice packing and shipping
grades. Assorted light and skips were neg
lected. Buyers seemed to prefer them as
nearly straight as possible. They were
about all sold at an early hour.
There was a sharp demand for all the
good lots of sheep, but poor lots were almost
unstable.
a. NJ. Wright & Co. say: ''While advis
ing caution on the part of customers, we are
free to say that the outlook for the near fu-
ture is strong, but would only encourage
buying on weak spots. Provisions were
strong, although there was nothing apparent
to justify higher prices, the speculative de-
mand being small, receipts of hogs were lib
eral, including Il, 500 head with predic-
tions of 100, 900 for the week.'
w. H. Minor 6e Co. say: ''We have had
quite good advance, but see nothing in the
situation which leads us to expect much de-
cline, but we rather look for higher prices,
and think purchase desirable on breaks.
We expect to see prices fuctuate consider
ably on corn, but think the tendency towards
higher prices. We believe June and July
oats to be good property and safe to purchase
on weak spots.'
N1ilmine, Bodman & Co. says: s'There is
certainly nothing in the legitimate situation
that warrants present prices, but in times
like the present, when speculation is so active
and general, legitimate causes here but little
effect. Speculation has evidently set more
strongly on the bull side, and is growing rap
idly and must run its course, and we think
prices will be forced considerably higher, the
talk on the floor now being 81 for June wheat
this week, and we think it quite probable. At
any rate we repeat what we have been saying
all along that short sales on market manip-
ulated in the bull interests at such low prices
are very hazardous, and our advice is to buy
it on breaks and avoid selling it short alto
gether until manipulation subsidies. The
shortage in the corn market is very large yet,
and if the bull movement in wheat holds, we
think corn will sell much higher.'
Mccormick, Kennett & Day say: awe
think June anG July wheat a purchase on
breaks for the present. Receipts continue
very light, and the conviction is growing
before harvest. Advices from the country
say the receipts of corn will continue light,
but these are fair prices, and we would not
buy except on good breaks, while it may be
safe to sell on bulges.''

ADJUSTMENTS.
Young Mrs. Wt,athrop.


a foolish Irritation, husbands thought
less neglect, wife's pique-these are the
barriers which rise up between the love of
Douglas and constance Winthrop. The plot
thickens, and fancied Indifference is about
to result in separation and the disruption of
happy home, when q fortunate circum-
stance intervenes and husband and wife
are brought face to face over the green sod of
their baby's grave. The mask is torn Off,
the ice OF Indifference melts, and
the curtain falls on a doubly
cemented love and happy household.
These are the constituent factors of the
drama, "Young Mrs. Winthrop as pro-
duced at the Grand by the Madison Square
Theater company last night. 1t is homely,
wholesome story, admirably told and enacted.
The charm of the play is its realism. There
is an absence of rant, of straining for effect
and of the dramatic clap-trap usually lugged
into dramas of the society order. As said,
the beauty of the plot is its natutal-
ness. The incidents of the play
for that matter might have
been gathered from many a household in st.
Paul, and the moral only goes to show what
slight and trivial things may lead to mis-
uuueTSsduuluS duu mar Gue happiness Oh
home. More than all, the play is warning
to the man of affairs and business. 1t con-
veys the wholesome truth-a truth not half
learned by the American man of business
that he cannot afford to neglect his wife and
home for the mere sake of money getting
that there is in the fond affections of wife
and the associations of home treas
ures far richer and more to be
desired than all the pold of Go1conda
The audience was large last night and the
drama was greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
The cast was excellent, and as comparisons
are out of order it is given herewith:

AN OUTRAGE.
An American Captain Imprisoned in a
Mexican Port, and His Vessel
COnfiscated.

GALVESTON, May 5.-Capt. Dajay, of the
American schooner Rebecca, of Galveston,
in a communication to the Neaus, relates a
story of outrage and imprisonment at the
hands of the Mexican authorities at Port
Tampico, on the 18th of February last. The
schooner was in distress, leaking, and put in
to Tampico, carrying regular clearance pa
pers from Brashear, La, for Tampico, but
had thirty packages of merchandise for de-
livery at Brazos, Texas, which
port she was compelled to pass on
account of rough weather and a dangerous
bar. The collector at Tampico forcibly took
the thirty packages consigned to Brazos, and
ordered an immediate discharge of the entire
cargo. Capt Dajay was arrested on charge
of attempted smuggling, and confined under
guard, but released next day at the solicitation
of the American minister and consul. The
judge before whom Dajay was tried insult
ingly refused to allow the American consul
to be present to consult prisoner during the
trial. After litigation of over forty days
the judge decided that the goods must
pay treble duty. Dajay protested that he had
no money. On the 14th of April, the Mex
lean authorities boarded the schooner, haul
ed down the American flag and embargoed
the vessel. Dajay appealed to the American
consul, who placed the crew in a hotel.
Daiay, after short stay, returned to the
United States, leaving the crew with the con-
sui, and the vessel in the hands of the Mex
leans. He thinks, that but for the efforts of
Minister Morgan and Consul Cassard, he
would still be confined in Mexican prison.

CHICAGO FINANCIAL.
ISnecial Teleeram to the Globe.

CHIcAGo,, May 5.-An easier feeling is
gradually making itself felt in financial cir
cles. The demand for loanable funds is only
fairly good among general business interests,
and there is plenty of money at the banks to
put out on gilt-edge loans at 4@5 per cent,
and on time at soc per cent. New York
exchange shows stiffening tendency, going
to-day at 75c premium owing to light offer
ings. Sixty-day documenting sterling was
quoted at S4.S5l, being steady and inactive
at that price. To-day's associated bank

BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, May 5.-The Mark Lane Enpress
in its review Of the British grain trade for
the past week, says there are prospects of a
good wheat crop. The trade in foreign
wheat is dull. There is but little business in
off-coast cargoes. There have been five ar
rivals, three cargoes sold and six withdrawn.
There is no demand for cargoes on passage
or for shipments. The sales of English
wheat for the past week were IS, ,121 quar-
ters at 37s I'D, against 66, 336 quarters at 42s
10d for the corresponding periods last year.

many barns scattered to the winds. The fair
grounds were in the track of the storm and
all the buildings and fences were levelled.
Trees were uprooted or stripped Of their

mate the damage. Fortunately nobody was
killed though four persons are more or less
seriously hurt. Boats on the river were

any statement of the loss. The wind was
more of a jumping than a whirling one. The
storm was accompanied by a heavy down.

Curtis on the Outlook.

In interview in the New York World
George William Curtis, editor Of Har-
per's Weekly. and delegate at large to
the Chicago convention, says: Many
Independent republicans announced be-
fore going 10 chicago that they would
not under any circumstances support
Blaine. After that announcement do
not see how they can do it. l do not
believe that Mr.. Blaine can poll the In
dependent republican vote. don't say
Blaine cannot carry New York. l be
lieve that Grover Cleveland can carry
New York for the democracy, but | do
not believe that Tilden can. If the
democrats nominate Cleveland there Is
no doubt that he will poll a great ma
jority Of the Independent vote, and that
the remainder Of il will not be given to
Blaine. You have still to meet the un-
conquerable distrust which the country
bears to the democracy, and you have
still to incur the danger Of laundering
which GEMS inseparable from a dem
ocratic campaign. You may nominate
Tilden, and so increase our present dis
gust with the whole political situation
that Blaine will get those Of our votes
that are polled. Certainly, there is
nothing attractive to us in the outlook.
The fatuous manner in which this ticket
has been made up is q continual source
of surprise to me. The republican party
has made no effort to secure New York.
The Independent vote is the ~electing
factor there, and the party has delibera-
teiy nominated a man hat We cannot
support. They claim that the west is
enthusiastic for Blaine, but it is already
evident that the best republican senti.
ment New England has bolted. &
