THE MARKETS.
Considerable Activity in Stocks and Prices a
Shade Lower.
The Cotton Market Very Foverish and
the Future Uncertain.
fDecfh DfsDnioN.

NEW YORK, April 14,--The market this
morning was fairly active with declining
tendency until hear noon. when u slight
rally set in. followed by weak clos
ing. The bulk of the trading was in Union
Pacific, and the traders tried to force the rest
of the market by hammering Union Pacific,
but it was fairly sustained.
Bonds were rather dull with better feel
ing on limited transactions.
The absence of anything definite from Bos-
ton regarding tho U nion Pacific, Chicago,
Burlington, and Quincy conference had a
tendency to restrict dealings during the after
noon.
The cotton market opened weak and de-
clined on largo orders to realize on long cot
ton. Selling was general. In the afternoon
outside buying orders came in, and the local
shorts covered running prices up to Satur-
days closing. Prices now stand where we
may expect wide and dangerous fluctuations
Only advice buying on good breaks. Tho
Germans seem divided in opinion in the
future of the market. We ia vor selling tho
fall months on every good squirt.
The report that traffic arrangement had
been entered into between the Denver and
Rio Grande and Central Pacific companies,
which prove detrimental to Union Pacific, is
ridiculed by Central Pacific officials, who say
such combination can only probably be made
in future with the Atchison, Topeka and
Sante Fe road. Representatives of the latter
road denied all knowledge Of any such
arrangement.
The city of Louisville has negotiated with
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. its $1,50O,0O0 per cent.
municipal loan, recently authorized for i'm
provement purposes.
Boston specials say some progress has been
made in negotiations between Union Pacific
and the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy.
The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy valves
claim to full share of Omaha business, and
allows the Union Pacific to deliver its share
of net business to tho tripartite roads, the
Iowa lines to decide what proportion goes to

WAR ON The KING OF BIRDS.

The CHILEAN Government has declared
a wal of determination against the con-
dor. It offers a reward of IS for every
condor killed. The hunting Of this bird
of prey has become, under the circum-
stances, a lucrative business, though it
seems doubtful, if one considers the
astounding powers of the bird and its
wonderful habits, that the government
can or wei will destroy the species.
Shooting the condor on the wing is almost
out of the question, for it sails to alti-
tudes far beyond the reach Of the human
eye and roosts on peaks above the clouds.
1t has been seen at attitudes of 20, 900
feet. 1t haunts the whole western slope
Of the Andes-not only Chill. but Peru,
Bolivia and Patagonia. Latterly the
birds have 10 increased as to form a
scourge, notwithstanding the fact that
the female lays but two eggs at a time,
and that condor bunting has been a
lucrative calling for more than a century.

"BBOKE AGAIN.

Gen. Grant is broke again. At least
that is declared to be the cause for Presl-
dent Arthur's recommendation that the
General be voted . life pension. No
other public man in the world has made
such repeated and nearly successful at
tempts to break into the poorhouse, and
unless he is closely watched the chances
are that he may yet succeed.--San Fran

Gen. Grant has been playing pauper so
long, and become so tiresome in that
roll. that the American people can afford
to pension him in order to retire him.

A YEAR OF TwO.CENT POSTAGE.

The Postmaster General reports that
the receipts OF the Postal Department
during the fiscal year which ended with
last June were only 81, ITO, 565 less than
during the previous year, although the
rate Of letter postage was reduced to two
cents on October l, 1888. 1t is now more
than a full year since the change, and
the indications are that it will ultimately
augment rather than diminish the postal
The estimates for the fiscal
year are S56, 099, 169 expenditures, and
S5l. 272. 500 receipts, making a deficit Of
"a. 826, $40. The growth Of correspond
ence is SO rapid that the receipts are
likely to increase much faster than the
expenses, and with efficient management
the Postal Department may within a
very few years report a surplus, even
after the reduction of local postage in
cities to one cent. The free delivery
cities yielded a profit of sl.273.27S on
local matter last year, and the justice of
their demand for a reduction Of the local
letter rate to one cent is evident.

DECREASE IN THE GOLD YIELD.

The Chicago Tribune notes the fact
that by the report OF the Superintendent
Of the Mint, tine product of gold IS
steadily falling off. In 1881 it was slO3,-
O23, O7S; in 1882 it was sos, 500, SIS; in
1888 it was but s94, OPT, 900; or in round
numbers it is decreasing at the rate OF
81, 500, 900 per annum. In the United
States the falling off for three years has
been as follows: 1881, 1874, 600, 600; 1882,
1872, 500, 600; 1888. $50. 900, 900. Mean
while the demand for it for coinage and
the arts is steadily increasing. Last year
the United States coined S27, 932. 900,
and used il the arts Sl4, 500, 600, and
dug only $50. 600, 900. from the ground.
1t is clear that there was not enough
mined to meet the demand by Sl2, 50O.-
900. According to Burchard's report the
world last year coined Sl0l, 265, $50, or
81, 600, 900 more than all the mines Of
the world yielded. We used Sl4, 800,
600 in the arts and, reckoning the whole
world by what our people did, it is clear
that there was used in the arts quite
half as much as was coined. In the face
Of this; in the face of the steadily SWELL
ing debts of the snations, notwithstand-
ing the fact that The demands of com-
merce increase by millions annually, and
that timid people are steadily boarding
gold, we are told by the %inanciers OF
London and Berlin, and the cry is echoed
by our own Wall street, that gold IS the
only true measure OF values. At the
same time it takes more and more OF
every product of the earth to buy an
ounce of gold. If our Congress yields
one point to the cry, it should be
scourged out Of the Capitol as the money
changers were scourged from the temple.

SAN Francisco, Dec. s.-A norther COM
menced Saturday night and continued all
day yesterday, and is still blowing this
morning. 1t is the most severe ever ex-
perienced here and the cold was intense.
Street signs were blown down and windows
blown in. Nearly all the vessels in the
harbor dragged their onchors and several
broke from their moorings. The bay was
so rough that passengers on the ferry
boats we're seasick. The American ship
Edward 0'Brien was blown away from the
dock, and her position became 30 danger
GUS that the Captain paid a steamtug
IS, 900 to tow her to a safe position. Two
sections of the sea-wall were badly
damaged, and the new ~breakwater
at the foot of Green street
was completely washed away. The
damage to vessels and wharves is esti-
mated at $50. 900. Reports from interior
points show that the violence OF the wind
was not so great as it was found to be on
the bay. At Hanford, San Joaquin Valley.
there was q light sprinkling Of snow. At
Newhall three inches of snow had fallen,
and kilograms received there stated that 1t
had been showing a. far south as San Fer
nando Tunnel. There was also q heavy
snowfall at Bakersfield and Portland Ogn.,
and at Victoria, B. O. While 1t was snow
ing at the latter point, an extraordinary
phenomenon was presented. A thunder

and the fall Of snow ceased. 1t is raining

 To waste or wisely spend. "If with the knowledge years bestow
