New York Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Stocl1s were fairly
active today, a greater portion OF the business
having been done in the regular list than for
many months. Some of the grangers declined
early owing to the receipt OF news Of discour-
ing tenor. The market closed quiet but decid-
edly strong at the best prices Of the day for al
most everything, except grangers. At the close
the advances are most numerous and while st
Paul and Rock island each closed rs lower than
on Saturday. New England and Jersey Central
are each up ~.
Government bonds dull but firm.

The March wind was swirling and sough-
Ing drearily as Sir Walter Raleigh ascended
the steps to the palace and inquired of the
Grand Duke Of the Vestibule If her majesty
was at home. That individual, turning to
the Goldstick in Waiting, repeated the ques-
tion to him, and he in turn interrogated the
First Lady Of the Front Staircase, who
promptly communicated Sir Walters request
for information to tho proper authorities, the
result being that the courtier was informed
that her majesty was In and would be pleased
to have him call again next week. This Sir
Walter, concealing his discontinue, pro-
ceeded to do, remarking to the queen when
next be met her that she had treated him in
very wintry manner the last time he called.
'No. my dear Sir Walter" replied her
majesty; "the treatment accorded you was
not wintry; it was summary

was reeling in my line after short
abortive cast. when suddenly Pierce
made an exclamation, and i turned to
see his line running out rapidly. so
rapidly In fact that the handle OF the
reel knocked piece out OF his fore
finger. He reached me the rod, and
just after ! had seized it, taking care
to exert no pressure. large silvery
mass leaped out of the water straight
into the water and fell back again
"a tarpon, and big fellow" cried
Pierce.
In considering any statement as to
the height a fish jumps out Of
water it is important to know whether
the narrator has included the length
Of the fish in making up his figures.
That is to say, II a fish is six feet long
and jumps from its native element SO
that the tip ofits tail is two feet clear
of the surface, good story-tellers will
claim that it has jumped eight feet out
Of water. Others will take oath to
only two. It sufficient to state that
the tarpon in question jumped either
two feet or eight, according to the in-
dividual preference of the reader. At
that time he had taken out with veloci-
ty about fifty yards OF line; the leap
terminated his first rush, and had an
opportunity to reel in about fourth
Of the amount before he started off
again. Meantime my man had hauled
up the anchor and we were in
process OF being towed by the big fish,
whose frantic efforts to escape were
making the reel revolve at famous
rate. From long experience with sal
mon, knew enough to keep the point
of my rod as high as possible consist
