New York Stock Market.

New YORK, May 9.-Wall Street.-The
stocks were steady to strong ard in
early dealings developed considerable
strength, especially for Gould stocks.
Changers were also strong, while
New York Central remained steady and
then yielded fraction, but there was a
slight reaction before II o'clock in the
whole list, with only moderate fiuctua-
tons. Market has been quite active
NEW YORK. May 9.-Stock market
less active and heavy until after 2
o'clock, when it became more lively
again, very strong. Closed active and
firm, at about the best prices of the day
New YORK, May 9.-Governments
quiet and strong, showing an advance
of Is for the As. and q per cent for cur
rency 6s. The stock market opened
strong for almost everything except
the New York Central, which was
heavy, and during the forenoon devel-
oped no other feature than an active
market with a. steady buying by both
bulls and bears, the latter covering
shorts, while there was fair amount of
business done for long account. After
midday, prices became more quiet and
weak. In some cases the lowest quota
tons of the day were reached, but this
hour, which continued until the close
of the board. The market finally closed
steady at the advances made, and gener-
ally within small fraction of the
highest prices reached. The interest of
the street was centred in the news from
Chicago, regarding the meeting of the
railroad officials in session there to-day,
and final rally was made after it had
been announced that the settlement of
everything in the west and northwest
was complete and that the rates would
probably be restored on Monday, the
plan adopted being satisfactory to all
the roads. The continued repetition of
the statement that Mr.. Vanderbilt was
acting with some leading bears in de-
pressing prices, and that he was a
heavy seller of short stock, led to his
authorizing the publication of state
ment, in which he says: There is not
a word of truth in the stories that am
operating with Mr.. Cammack. l am
not interested in any way, either with
him or anybody else in bearing the
stock market. 1 have not sold a share
OF Central since l sold $50, 900 shares to
the syndicate in November, 1879.
have not sold share of Lake Shore,
directly or indirectly, for months. Do
you think would sell Lake Shore at
these prices 2" The result is net ad-
vance of y to IL per cent. for the active
stocks, the greatest gains being made
by the Northwestern and Michigan
Central, but New York Cen
trail, Lake Shore, Pacific Mail
and Lackawanna are each up "a.
Notwithstanding the decided rally
during the past two days, almost every
thing on the active list is lower this
evening than it was week ago; the ex-
ceptions being Northwestern, which is
and Union Pacific. which
shows an advance of e per cent.

the Mexican War to the surrender of
Lee at Appomattox, concluding with an
interesting analysis of General Grants
soldierly character. The frontispiece of
the number is a striking portrait of
General Mcclellan, engraved from
photograph taken especially for this
purpose. General Mcclellan contributes
a graphic account of 1.-The Peninsular

THE KNIGHT OF THE BLACK FOREST. By

The story first appeared in the Cen
tury, and the readers of that magazine,
after they had finished its perusal, won
dered why the discriminating publish
ers had admitted it to their periodical.
Now the wonder is that the Putnam's
have put the story in book form. 1t is
in no sense clever tale, falling far be-
hind the authors other book on which
she gained some reputation. Trying to
sell a commonplace or worthless work
on the reputation of writer, is trick
to which many authors are given. We
do not believe it will be successful in the
