STOCK TRADING.

Move Up n Peg.
The local stock market presents practically
the same features from day to day. Yesterday
was no exception. Although sales aggregated
40 shares there was no vim. Business was en-
tirely perfunctory.
The only price changes of Importance were
advances in Electric and Pittsburg Traction,
and decline in CHARTERS Gas. The greater
part of the list was neglected.
AS stocks are bid up one day and down the
next merely for effect on outsiders, it would
seem, quotations unless backed up by some
thing tangible have no real significance. Bids,
offers and sales were:

Early VaIues of Realty.

Mr. Robert Smith, President of the Union
National Bank, has some valuable documents
relating to real estate at the close of the last
century. One of these, written on parchment,
and dated l7S6. shows that the site occup pied by
the bank in question was sold in that year by
the Penn heirs TO q man named Brady for $50.
This property comprises 80 feet on Market
street and 169 along Fourth to Chancery lane.
Eighteen years later it was resold for 81, 200.
Sl50, 900.
1t is little curious to learn from the deed
that 104 years ago Market, Fourth and Chan
cery Lane bore the same names as at present,
with the exception that Fourth street has de-
,veloped into an avenue.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF TIE CITY

A gentleman connected with prominent
real estate corporation on Fifth avenue, and
who has been identified with the business
for 15 years or more, talked to the following
effect yesterday: ''It is curious to me that
shrewd investors do not more generally
take advantage of the slight lull in the
market that always occurs during the months
of July and August to make their pur-
chases. Properties that are slow now, with
the revival of business and attendant COM
petition, not only sell quickly, but in many
cases at an advance of 10 to 15 per cent in
September. base these deductions on care
full and critical observations and comparisons
during many years past. think this is good
time to buy.'
good many purchases have been made on
this theory within the past few weeks. Buyers
had no immediate use for the properties but as
they will need them in the spring, they con-
ciuded to secure them at once and not wait and
pay higher prices.

An organized boycott is conspiracy
and in Pennsylvania and other states is
made an indctable oilense 10y the stat
utes. An individual has right to EN-
ploy whomeyer he chooses, TO refuse 10
be employed by any one il lie so desires
and to patronize whatever merchant or
firm he may choose; but an organized
body of men has no right to conspire
against all individual or u corporation,
and to boycott the object OF their displeas-
ure. If the tables ware turned on the
boycotters they would not be long in
seeing the justice of this proposition. A
boycott is conspiracy, designed to
ruin the business of the victim. 1t is
warfare unjustifed in the time of peace,
IL is un- American, and 1t can not en-
dure. 1t is high time it were stamped
out where it is employed in hostile
manner against public enterprises.

And wept such bitter tears:

And shielded from all i'll.

Before her task was done.

COL. earle A. WOODRUFF.
How he Commands Battery F in Camp
Holden, Kansas.

hOluens Kansas.
The State Guard of Kansas is in camp
at Camp Holden, and one of the COM
manders is Col. earle a. Woodruff, who
is we'll: known in Raleigh and in this
State. The Kansas City Times, of July
Esd, gives description of the camp. It
shows a very handsome picture of Col.
Woodruff, and speaking of him and his
battery, says: Undoubtedly, the finest
performance of lthe encampment was
that of Battery F, second regiment OF
artillery, U. S. A. Col. Woodruff turned
out OF o'clock for drill, and the eyolu-
tions were like clock-work. So mec han
lcal were the movements of men and
horses, that not fault on either side
was perceptible. 1t may be said that no
artillery captain in the service has bet
ter drilled body of men, and no body of
artillerymen has mole efficient officer.
Captain Carle A. Woodruff, command
ing, entered the army in 1881. as second
lieutenant of artillery. For meritorious
and gallant services he received numer.
GUS brevets and that of Lieutenant COL
onel for good conduct and gallant SER
vice during the war. He participated
IN more than fifty battles and engage
ments, was on numerous raids with
Sheridan, and was present at Appomat-
tox Court House, on April 9th, 1866,
being then the chief of artillery, third
division, cavalry corps of the army OF
the Potomac, known as Clusters division.
Since the war he has seen service on the
frontier, in Alaska and in the Southern
States

Ihat is What South Car0lna Will DO
To Get Even with Petitioners.
A special from Charleston, S. g., to
the New York Sun says that one Of the
wealthiest merchants of that city said
yesterday that it was not at all likely
that southern merchants and buyers
would take part in boycott against
northern business, but that boycott
may be enforced against colored support
ers of the force bill in the south. Before
the prepared bill can be put into operatioe
one hundred Republicans must petition
for its enforcement in district. AS
there are not one hundred white Repub-
licans in the entire State, the negroes
must be called upon to invoke the bayo-
net. The plan that will be adopted il
the south will be to boycott the negroes.
1t will be generally understood that no
negro who signs such a petition, or ac'
cepts an appointment under the obnox
ious law, can obtain work from Demo
crat thereafter, and this rule should be
observed with the utmost strictness.

THE TARIFF AND THE NEGRO.
Mr.. Morgan Says the Tariff Oppresses
the Southern Colored People.
TBv United PreSS1

Mr.. Morgan Says the Tariff Oppresses
the Southern Colored People.
[By United Press.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-In the
Senate the tariff bill was discussed fur
ther, speeches being made by Senators
Colquitt and Morgan.
In his speech on the tariff, Senator
Morgan held that the colored people,
not being capitalists, manufacturers or
skilled workmen, could not possibly de-
rive any advantage from protection,
and yet had to bear the burdens which
it imposed upon the people.
He yielded to an interruption by Mr..
Hawley, who said that in Alabama and
other States colored men were employed
as skilled workmen in factories and foun
dries; and by Mr.. Hoar, who mentioned
the case of the colored man who was re-
Gently selected to deliver the valedictory
at Harvard.
Mr. Morgan said the case mentioned
by Mr. Hoar was an exceptional one
somewhat like that of Blind Tom. To
Mr.. Hawley he said that he had been
trying to find out whether any negro op-
eratives were employed in northern fac
tories.
Mr.. Morgan yielded to allow Mr..
Vest to present an advertisement from
Massachusetts, Fire Insurance Compa-
ny, showing prohibition to the agents
insuring houses occupied by negroes, or
negro churches or school houses.
Mr.. Morgan went on to criticise the
bill to show how hard it was on the
| southern negroes.
Mr.. Colquitt discussed the decadence
of farming in New England, and spoke
| of the organizations now being formed
by the farmers, who were becoming con
scious of their wrongs.
A resolution was agreed to calling or
the President for the correspondence
concerning the attempt to obtain re-
peal of the French decree prohibiting
importation of American pork.
Bills were passed to pension the widows
Of Gen. Crook, Gen. Fremont and Gen
Mcclellan.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-In the Hous'
to day a resolution was agreed to Tor
special committee Of five to investigat
the pension Office.
The Senate amendments to the sun
dry civil bill were considered, and man
of them were non n-concurred in.
