at $4S4 for sixty-day bills and $4.S6A for
demand.
The stock market showed no change in its
character to-day, being extremely dull. and
though the prevailing temper was bullish,
the disposition was to await the develop
ments of next week. At the same time the
general expectation OF favorable bank
statement induced some buying in the last
hour, which gave more animated appear
ance to the market for the time being and
moved prices up small fractions. The deal
ings were entirely i'll the hands Of the traders,
however, and the fluctuations recorded pos
sessed no significance whatever. Reading and
st. Paul were the only stocks in which there
was any business done of importance, while
LackaWanna showed more movement than
any of the rest. The market opened steady,
but intensely dull, but after that time there
was more animation, and prices moved up
under an increased demand. The close was
quiet but firm to strong at the best prices
reached. Almost the entire list is higher, but
the maximum advance in the active list was

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
Mrs. Julia Murphy Was the Per-
son Who Seized WOmen's Ankles
While at Worship.

While at Worship.
While Father Taaffe, of st. Patrick's
Roman Catholic church i'll Brooklyn,
was celebrating early mass OH Monday
morning two women sitting close to-
gether interrupted the service by Jump
ing to their feet and screaming. In the
priests house adjoining the church they
explained that hand had been sud-
denly placed on their ankles. On Tues
day morning the service was again dis
turbed in similar manner, and Father
Taaffe, unable to account for the phe-
nOmenon, notified Police Captain Nc
Kelyey, of the Myrtle avenue station,
and Policeman Fitzpatrick was sent to
the church on Wednesday morning, but
there was no repetition of the trouble,
says the New York Sun.
QYeSterday morning, however, the
policeman was again at the church. and
when a woman in the rear of the church
Sprang suddenly from her seat, he hur-
ried TO the spot and found middle-aged
woman in a green shawl and shabby
hat crouching on the floor in the pew in
which the woman had been disturbed.
At the police station she was recognized
as Mrs. Julia Murphy, of Flushing ave-
nue.. near Franklin avenue. She had in
her pocket STA and a gold watch. Some
time ago she was arrested for acting in
a disOrderly manner in the Roman Cath
Ollie Church of the TRANSPORTATION, and
her husband had her sent to the lunatic
asylum. She had habit of creeping
along the floor in the church and seiz-
ing the ankles of the women. Mrs.
Murphy will be returned to the asylum.

A COMFORTABLE TOB JGGAN SUIT.

This same complaint has been fire.
quentiy made this season, but when the
suit is worn in the snow and
ice, and on frosty afternoons and
evenings, when the cold pierces
through ordinary wearing apparel, the
feminine fashionable world acknowl-
edges that the Canadians selected a COM
Portable and, TO certain extent, a
picturesque costume for tobogganing.
The ordinary tObOggan ulster is made
out of a great soft an fieecy Canadian
blanl ct. The blanket is left wide
enough to meet about the body and half
OIL three-quarters of yard extra is al
lowed to permit the wearer to walk.
The garment is made in one piece, the
striped edges forming the collar at top
and the trimming at the bottom. Two
holes are cut at the arms and full
sleeves, caught at the wrist with elastic
to prevent the wind from getting up the
arm. are sewed firmly in. The ulster is
generally Sewed in front almost to the
waist, IS slipped on over the head and
fastened about the waist with heavy
woOllen cord and deep taSsels.
Of course this close fitting garment
does not permit of a tenure or even tn e
smallest of bustleS, and so a fashiOna-
90 itrax I,
Dresses made of soft jersey fiannels,
princeSSe, or with plain waist and
full skirt are generally worn, and when
pretty sash is added are very charm
ing house dresses for afternoon teas or
informal luncheons.
Toboggan caps are prettieSt knitted of
soft zephyr, with three worsted balls
ornamenting the top. Some of them tie
under the chin with ribbons and all are
pulled down over the ears. The Greek
coil does not suit these caps, and the
hair is therefore left in one braid and
tucked under them, or is coiled in cor
onet about the head.
WorSted leggings covering the feet
and reaching above the knee are found
comfortable and prevent slipping but
the sOleS are covered with moccasin
leather to prevent their wearing out. A
muffier and mitts are selected to suit
the fancy.
The suits for men ale very similar.
The ulster is not quite SO long, reaching
just below the knee, and it is met by
leather leggingS. Moccasins are worn
over the shoes or four or five pairs of
WOODEN socks, and the hood is of the
blanket flannel, pointed and fastened to
the ulster.
Crimson. ruSSet-red, brick-brown and
bright blue are the bright eolors pre-
ferred by. many young ladies, as they
make pleasant contrast to the snow.
Pure white, banded with any of these
cOlOrs or yellow, brown or green are
very popular. The men wear chin
chilla. trimmed with scarlet, brown
with blue, gray. orange and other SIM
liar combinations.
The cost of complete toboggan out
fit varies from S25 to 500, according to
the fineness and thickness of the wool
and the quality of the moccasins, the
richness of the cords and tasselS and
the kind of cap and hood.

Dealers Opinions.

Davidson. Bayard & Co.-The storms
of the past few days seem to be no
check on the boom in upper town. We
attribute it to the progress being made
on the upper town bridge and to the
late resolution to grade all north and
south streets in that favored locality.

ing rales the past week: Lot on Sixth

James H. Davidson The market looks

The Rice street property is looking up
and we have good deal of inquiry for

Stone. IL MortOn-We are selling some
thing all the time and at top prices, too.
In spite of the quiet market we have
had there is good deal of inquiry, and

Wouldn't we stay all night? II was
late in the day and the paths in the
mountains were uncertain. He could
give MS fur bed and pretty good
breakfast of fat yenisOn. If we would
stay he would make JACKIE dance for It's.
1t needed not much urging, for the
clouds looked heavy in the west and evil
IDENTIFY storm was coming up. 1t was
nearly dark. too, and thanking the old
hermit for his hospitality, we gladly ac-
cepted the friendly shelter OF his roof
for the night. Then he brought in some
pine logs, made up a good fire, fried
some more potatoes and deer meat and
baked some batter in pan. After eat
ing all we could hold he called up Jacko
and made HIM dance, turn SomersaultS,
tumble, open and shut the door, go for
water, bring in wood and perform a
number of tricks. Jaeko was given his
supper of cooked meat and put to bed in
q corner.
You don't know what comfort JackO
Is to me-" said the old man. ''He's just
like human being, only he is deal
better than some l have known. .Iacko
is honest, and we often talk together
that is, l talk to him, and sometimes
think he understands me.''
The old man had some tobacco and
corn-cob pipes, and he offered us each
one. Il smoke good DEAL" he said,
land find my pipe company. There is
lots OF company in pipe when I'm
lonesome. JackO smokes, or he thinks
he does" He then called up Jacko,
made him sit up, put pipe i'm his mouth
and placed his hat on the bears head.
The bear made funny picture. Come
and give ME hug and go to bed JACKIE"
said the old man, and the bear came and
gave him hug and went to his corner.
We sat quite late into the night talk
ing of the war. The old man loved to
talk of the battles he had been in. ]
had noticed he was slightly lame, and
he showed me where he had been shot
in the leg at Antietam. l told him he
was entitled to pension and should
get it for his children if not for himself.
He shook his head sadly. and said: Il
have all lsneed. / have done with the
world. Jaeko and will stay here and
not bother about anything"
L was little afraid of the bear, but
the old man assured me he would not
move out of his corner until morning,
and he didn't.
Next morning, after hearty break
fast, we left him at the door of his
lonely cabin, and Jacko turned several
SummerSaultS of delight. as if he was
glad we were going, and no doubt he
was. JAMES 5. BRIsBIN.

The COMMERCIAL RECORD.
On the Chicago Board Of Trade There
Was Little Activity Among
Spectators Saturday.
The Only Life Noticeable Was in the
Pork Pit, Where Slight Anima-
ton Existed.
Transactions In the Financial Circles
b Of Wall Street.-The General
IS Quotations.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Outside the pork pit
there was little activity on Change to-day.
CHE transactions In wheat were of the same
character as on Friday, and prices kept
awithin narrow range May wheat opened
lBc lower at 84Ac, and sold off to 84c IN the
first hour. Buying by prominent house
and the crowd who had got short on the first
decline caused a reaction, and by noon May
was back to the opening figure. There were
periods Of extreme dullness after this, but
the market did not again decline. May
closed ct S4sSc. Corn was even duller than
wheat, and there was not enough trading in
the market to make it worthy of
mention. May opened at 54Ac, sold
off to sac, and closed at 54isc.
Pork was the most active article onthe board
at the start, but even it was not. nearly as ex-
citing as for the preceding days of the week.
The hog market was 1O@I5c lower. May
pork opened sc lower at $3.50. The big
operators who have been bears right along
bought little and sold little. All of the
purchases were used to club the market with
when it showed signs of weakness. May
sold from SIS. 10 down to $15.O2E2. Scatter
ing buying in small lots advanced the price
of May to $15.12I by 1880. The ruling
figure for the rest Of the session was SIS. 12ls,
but occasional raids by local bears would
break prices down to SIS. TO- once as low as
$I5.O5, but there would be enough buying
demand to put it up to SIS. 12ls almost I'M
mediately.

On the local board there were less than a
dozen cars of wheat offered on the sample
tables, but buyers did not appear anxious to
secure even these. Millers are now about
the only buyers. and they prefer holding off
until some of the blockaded trains arrive 1t
is expected that by the latter part of the
week receipts will be quite large, and prices
will be somewhat lower. Receipts one car,

Flour-Market Record: There is nothing
in the positions or fluctuations of wheat that
should bear especially hard on the -four mar
ket. Yet until there is an actual scarcity of
stocks of the latter or more general frmness
in prices of the former. values cannot be ex-
pected to show important improvement The
conditions abroad are regarded with some in
terest. The figuring of their statisticians do
not lead one to expect continuance of the
prevailing low prices. But such calculations
do not appear to have great weight with for
eign spectators, as they are persistent sell
ers of futures on this side. Until these are
driven III there does not seem to be much
hope of higher prices of flour abroad.

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 14.-Wheat was
frightfu lily dull to-day. There was the least
trading on the Duluth board of any day for
a long time. For the greater part of the day
there were no fluctuations at all Features
were entirely lacking. Dizziness here may
have been due in part to small receipts and
the blockade in the Northwest, but the same
reason would not account 70. the dulness at
Chicago. Receipts here m )unted to 5, 3 90
bu., which was about ), 900 gu more than at
Minneapolis, l car only being received. There
were no car receipts here. wheat going into
elevators from cars in yards. There
are more in yards here. but snow will doubt
less prevent them from getting to elevators.
Stocks here will show an increase for the
week of about $4,000 bu, while Minneapolis
stocks will decrease about 100000 blu. The
visible supply ought to show a decrease of
over 6O0, 200 bu. In Yesterdays movement
there was decrease of $4,000 bu, without
taking into consideration the amount used
by mills. The days trading was confined to
May. May opened at S3Ac, held steady at
that to the last hour, when it eased Off and
closed at S318c.

Owing to the railroad blockade there was
but very little wheat offered on the board
Saturday, and the whole board was dull, with
no one wanting to buy. Everything was
talked of except buying wheat, and opinions
about the storm, the blizzard and how long
the railroads would be blocked up were freely
exchanged. Corn was very scarce indeed,
ana climbed right up &c per bushel, where it
stayed firm and strong. and will go higher If
the railroads do not raise the blockade very
soon. Oats followed corn, and for the same
reason, and advanced lie. Owing to the same
