NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The stock market to-
day, outside of one or two specialties, was
about as dull and featureless as lack of bust
ness could make it. Kansas & Texas doomed
into activity at the opening. During the first
half hour the price was bid up q of point.
Outsiders bought freely, but wet blanket in
the shape of a selling order of about 10000
shares. given out by Hollins & Co., exerted a
remarkably soothing influence on the general
rush to buy. After drop of IL points,
the stock rallied and ruled featureless the
rest Of the day. Deacon White gave trad
ers a hint that he was not celebrating
Christmas to-day by advancing Pacific mail
2 points. The rest of the market was, if
anything, more than usually dull, though
there was apparently avery strong undertoue
to values. st. Paul earnings for the third
week of December increased S10,390, and
Denver s. Rio Grande increased $4,000. The
directors of Lackawanna met and declared a
quarterly dividend of ~ per cent. During
the latter part of the day there was practi-
cally nothing doing, except in Kansas &
Texas, which declined a point under heavy
clique selling. The general market closed
firm at an advance over the opening.

CHICAGO, Dec. AIT was labor for board
of trade members to-day to go through the
motions of a session. They were without
orders, so that whatever labor there was was
one of love, and besides there was the indis-
position to exert themselves. The figures
that went over the tapes showed that it was
the day before Christmas. The range in
wheat was &c, in corn go, IN pork just 21ac,
and in lard-well, nobody could testify to
fluctuations of any kind in lard. Wheat be-
gan this morning where it left Off
yesterday, and, for that matter, the state
ment might be made broad enough
10 include corn, oats and provisions.
The wheat crowd was quiet, but rather bull
ish in its temper, as is ususlly the case before
the holidays, when cautious traders "even
up or take out little insurance against the
s'chapter of accidents by moderate pur-
chases, being mindful always of the danger
of subsequent depressions caused by the ac-
celebrated movement of dammed-up receipts.
These two forces pulling in different dlrec-
tions lend to the situation just enough of the
element of uncertainty to render the betting
interesting. January opened at S4s4c and
ran up to S5c, and afterward became unset
lied, irregular and weak, and closed at
THE LOWEST FIGURES
# the day, which were S41s@1S414c. May
pened at Gle and closed at 901ac, and during
Jhe session sales were AT ana between SU12U
y13Sc, December sold at 849S434c and closed

,losed at S45ac. The tone of the advices from
England and points at home was unfavorable
holders. Receipts at eleven points show
alling off Of 277, 900 bushels. Corn traders
manifested little desire to operate and the
market dragged all morning, with heavy
ndercurrent for the present month, as hold
rs sold more freely than buyers wanted to
bsorb, and resulted in year, January and
february coming together. Foreign and
Eastern markets were dull, and receipts here
Tere large, with prospects Of further in
,rease. Year opened at $500, sold to S65sc,
roke and closed with 361sc bid at 1 o'clock,
nc decline from yesterday at the same time;
January ranged at 361sc@36Z; February at
S61Sc@363s, and May at 3914c@391a. All
closed at inside figures. Provisions were
again dull. The receipts of hogs were rather
light. which kept prices steady and rather
firm, and closing figures were trifie better
than those current at l o'clock yesterday.
Mess pork for February opened at 1895, and
sales were at SO. 9215@9. 95, closing at SO. 921a;
March closed at $10.021a, and May at S10.2T7a.
Lard closed at S6.021a for February, Sc 10 for

To the Editor of the Globe.
A short time ago your correspondent at this
city reported the rumored elopment of Miss
Emma Cox with a Mr.. E. E. Shefens,
and as such was not the case, it
only being rumor, it provoked the
most estimable young lady and her many
friends. The young lady took occasion to
write the GLOBE, contradicting the statement,
whereupon the GLOBE published another
article last Saturday, illustrating it to attract
attention (the illustrative feature becoming
very popular in all Eastern papers), denying
the charge in justice to the young lady. To
set the matter at rest, will say, 1 called by
invitation upon the young lady at her home
and found that cards were out for her mar
riage to Charles W. Apley of Minnesota Lake,

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The fact that the banks
will be closed tomorrow caused increased
activity. Money was in brisk demand from
grain, provisions and miscellaneous borrow
erS, and rates firm at cor per cent. for time
paper. Call loans were generally quoted at
per cent, and where less was taken the
colaterals were strictly gilt-edged. In mer-
camille circles business was quiet and par
took of the usual holiday character, orders
for goods being small, but the remittances
from country merchants in payment for
bills maturing were liberal. New York
exchange was firm at par between banks.
Foreign exchange was trife weaker. Actual
rates were 81. SO for bankers sight sterling on
London; $4.S519@4. S5s4 for sixty days otto,
and S4.s3a@4.84 for shippers sixty days
documentary. The decline renders the ex-
ports of gold impossible without loss to ship
pers and it is more than likely that shipping
orders, if any have positively been given,
will be cancelled. The bank clearings aggre-
gated $1,000, 600.

TRANSPORTATION TOPICS.
Position of the Santa Fee in the Trans
continental Pool.
Extension of the Northwestern
Passenger Affairs.
Transcontinental Affairs.

Vice President and General Manager Oaks,
General Freight Agent Hannaford and Gen.
eral Passenger Agent Fee of the Northern
Pacific road returned yesterday from San
Francisco, where they attended meeting OF
the Transcontinental association. T. F..
Cakes was elected chairman of the meeting,
as at previous ones. In every meeting OF the
association thus far, there has been a diSSat-
isf1ed element with which to deal, and in many
cases it has required great wisdom and pru-
dence coupled with strong determination to
steer clear of the shoals of disruption. In
this case the Santa Fe and the Atlantic &
Pacific were the ones which desired attention.
The latter was anxious that its claim to the
distinction of transcOntinental line OF rail-
way be recognized These roads are impressed
with an idea that they have been discrim-
mated against in the matter of California
traffic, unjust limitations and restrictions
having hedged them about. They were de-
sirous of securing the admission to the pool
of the California Southern, their newiy-com-
pleted line to the Pacific coast, on advanta-
geous terms, and of receiving increased per-
centages. There appeared to be measure
of justice in the request for an increased
percentage for the Santa Fe, as the
earnings of that road are $4,000 day
over what they were last year,
although the road percentages for the past
six months have been based on the actual
earnings for April, May and June. Ii the
Atchison Sante Fe and Atlantic & Pacif1c
are to receive u greater share than that now
allotted to them it must come from the
Southern, Central and Union Pacifics, in
whose actual earnings there is little doubt
that the middle route has made good-sized
hole already and will make a larger one dur
ing the coming year. Although the lines
were far apart in their views when the meet
ing adjourned it is contdentially expected
that all differences will be harmonized before
the meeting is held at New York, the second
Tuesday in February and then an association
will be formed that will last. The matter of
a settlement of the balance the Southern Pa
cific owes to the pool was not brought up at
the meeting. In regard to the reports that
the Northern Pacific has secured control Of
the Oregon & California road, Mr.. Cakes said

A FIGHTERS SECRET.

Secretary Lamar, in his fight with the
ring influence Of his department., doubtless
finds inspiration in the study of great
local character who was the fighter of Mr..
Lamar's neighborhood when the latter was
mere boy. This fighter was planter by
the name of James B. Zackery. His dialect
and exploits were most happily described by
Mr.. Lamar at a recent dinner. Zackery In
his best days whipped everything before
him. One day young Lamar asked the
fighter to give him the secret of his success.
He said: ''Zackery, it can't be that you
re bigger and stronger than everybody. :"
Zackery replied: ''Well, Lucius, l jest ex-
plains it in this yere way. When l goes

The Grand Trunks Differential.

The st. Paul and Minneapolis Passenger
association held another meeting yesterday
morning on account of the telegram received
from eastern passenger agents in regard to
the differential claimed by the Grand Trunk
road as mentioned in yesterdays GLOBE. AS
a result of the meeting the following telegram
was sent to the eastern passenger agents;
The Chicago s. Grand Trunk is using the
Boston differential out of Chicago by your
consent as you admit. The same reason that
forced US to use the SIT and $14 rates Chicago
to New York, apply with equal force to this
Boston differential; that is, we must
use the lowest prevailing rates from
Chicago and our regular affair in order to
protect ourselves against scaper order on
Chicago, being in contest with these men;
having ceased to deal with them. We do not
wish this action OF ours taken as precedent
and will go back to Chicago rate-sheet rates
as soon as you settle matters In Chicago, as
we fully recognize the right of the short line
to make the rate, and the Chicago rate-sheet
Is our proper basis when rates are firm. If
you desire us to make the same rates to Bos-
ton over your lines as via the Chicago g.
Grand Trunk please advise US and we will
gladly do so.
At the meeting it was decided to place the
first-clRss and limited tickets at $11 and
second-class SO, to take effect Jan. l.

No New Cases of Smallpox.

MONTREAL. Dec. 22.-Yesterday for the
first time since smallpox became epidemic,
there were no new cases of the disease re-
ported. 1t is a remarkable fact that al
though there have been over 500 persons
employed by the health department as san
itary police, isolation police, hospital nurses
and in other capacities, not one of them con-
tracted the disease OF course they were all

let contracts for the extension of the Ere
mont, Missouri Valley s. Elkhorn road from
Chadron west to Fort Fetterman, distance
of about ninety miles, calling for it's compile
ton by Sept. l, 1885. This is the first
direct move towards the construction of tn e
main line to Ogden and a junction
with the Central Pacific, project
that the Northwestern has had under con-
sideration for year past. The Black Hills
line turns northward from Chadron, and is
already completed to Buffalo Gap, and will be
at Rapid City early in the spring. The ex-
tension to the west from Chadron to Fl. Fet-
