a Small Business in Railway Bonds-Stocks
Heavy and Irregular.
NEW York, Aug 24-Money on Call was
Easy at II per cent.
Prime mercantile paper, 40 per cent.
Foreign Exchange was quiet at 81. 844 for GO
days, and S. $50 for demand.
The total stock sales to-day were 153 1877
shares, including the following: Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western. 21,940; Kansas &

leaving only 1861, 900 for the remainder of the
list Prices are generally unchanged but there
are more advances than declines. The feature
was the purchase of $500, 600 West Shore bonds

privilege expires to morrow
The stock market opened irregular. Selling
by room traders caused sagging off, and the
market was dull and heavy throughout the day
Northern Pacific securities were perhaps the
weakest feature, and next to them the coal stocks

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. "a.
The week opens under favorable auspices.
There is a steady increase in trade from day to
dav. and Frightening up of matters all sides.
Travelling statesmen state that country merchants
are more cheerful, buying more freely, yet with
some caution. The more reckless merchants,
during the depressed times, have been weeded
out, seemingly, and business is certainly
on a better basis than two or three
wears ago in this respect. Although
there are but few fuctuation in values,
to day there is more irmness to prices in many
lines and tendency to higher prices in several
departments. This remark will apply especially
to dry goods, groceries and produce Every day
makes it more evident that prices, which have
been down to hard pan so many months, are to
improve somewhat. However, no boom or spec
ulative prices is anticipated. but steady,
healthy development Of trade. Eggs, pou-
try and butter are all irmer. though
peaches and vegetables for the last day or two
have been large, and prices rule low. Three or
four carloads of peaches and twenty of water
melons have been thrown onto this market in
the last twenty-four hours, and result on
peaches prices went off considerably. In gro
ceres there is good distribution; sugars are
strong and reported to be scarce Just now the
bulls are certainly on top. Coffees unchanged
The provision men report the market for hog

LONDON, Feb 5.-The leader in Pail Mall
Gazette advocating a political alliance be
tween Great Britain and the United States
attracts attention Tho American republic,
The Gazette says, now at last is beginning to
have a foreign policy. The doctrine of COM
plete Isolation, long maintained by Amer
lean statesmen, has persisted. Minister Kas-
sons presence and activity in the Berlin con-
ference on the Congo question must be taken
as a portent of things to come America will
continue to exert a good and increasing in
fluence in the work of pacifying
Africa. The republic will ere
long claim admittance into the Euro
pean areopagus whenever dealing with ques-
tions pertaining to the interests of the out
side boundaries of the European continent.
EngIand's duty, therefore, is to make the
most o. this great fact. Blood is thicker
than water. The United States is England's
natural ally. After the federation of the
British empire there will remain for Britt sh
statesmen no task comparable in Importance
to that of the conclusion of an alliance be
tween Great Britain and the great republic
which sprang from EngIands loins. This
alliance the articla concludes, will be as
| close and useful to the two great English
speaking people as that between Austria and
Germany
