The Market Dull And lrregu1ar-most Or The Business Done By Clfques- Prices Lower At The Close.

OA AAAc DAbhASSS AS0h6 A6Y ClAQ UG8z1 Prices Lower At The Close.
 NEW YORK. Dec. 2S. The market to day was dull and irregular throughout and with the exception of 6 few of the leading speculatives the changes were slight and unimportant. For the most part the fluctuations recorded were due more to the manipulating tac- tics of cliquesn certain stocks than from any other cause The little business done was made up in part of fictitious transactions. At tic opening the bull cliques in Lackawanna bid the price of that stock up per cent, which had the effect of strengthening the rest of the list but under sub sequent drive at Lake Shore on the revival of ports that it would pass it's next dividend most of the improvement was lost by midday. The after noon's business was even e much smaller scale than during the first half of the day There was considerable pressure to sell the coal stocks and they broke sharply except in the case of ofLackawan- na, which was better supported than for several days. Notwithstanding this. however, the price closed fractionally lower than last night Reading was adversely affected in the last hour on the an nouncement that the committee having charge of the affairs of the road had adjourned without doing anything to provide for the interest the Reading general mortgage bond due January 1. At the close the market weak and prices fl to 24 per cent. below those of the preceding day. The sales were 19s, 100 shares.
 Money closed easy at Is per cent. Exchange closed dull at 4S1@485. Governments closed firm.

Amateur RailrOading.

Some years ago there WIS I section of
railroad track completed but not operated
between Fredericksburg, Va, aud 3 way
station a few miles distant. In order to
utilize the track for the time being man
who owned i small stationary engine
mounted ii on Il fiat car, made Il crank
connection with the wheels, and with a
mOlasseS hogshcad for 4 water tank run
up and down the track for freight and
passengers.
One of those interchangeable geniuses pc
cuiar to the wilderness of Spottsylvania,
Incoming disgusted with the tardy move
mentS of the railroad company, and fear
ing th.,t his hoop-poles if kept much
longer on hand would not be merchant
able, conceived the novel idea of hauling
them to town on Il fiat car drawn by 4
Young bull. There was some difficulty ut
first in teaching the bull exactly what
WAS expected of him. The modus ope-
randi was as follows: The bull drew
the ear up the grades, and was
then unhitchcd and mounted on 4
platform ut the rear of a car, which
then ran down grade without help.
As soon rs his bullship got the hang of
the thing he took to it very kindly, drag
ging the car up the grades with great
alacrity, and eyincing the same pleasure
in riding down that is shown by boys
who drag their SledS up hill for the pleas
ure of sliding down again.
