PRONOUNCED ADVANCES.
A Whirl In Railroad Shares, With Many
Strong Features-BuIIs Force Shorts to
Cover-Bauk Statement Favor
nble-Best Prices Inst


NEW YORK, April I9.-The stock market to-
day was more active and displayed a stronger
tone than any Saturdays market for a long
time and the advances were more pronounced
than on any previous day this week. The gen.
eral expectation of favorable bank statement
rendered the professional element. which mo.
nopolized the greater portion of the business
done, rather bullish, and the bulls took hold
with considerable vim, compelling the cover
ing of many short contracts.
As usual of late Sugar Refineries and Lacka-
wana were the most conspicuous features of the
market, especially in the matter of activity;
both were strong and made material gains
though they were measured at the close by
fractions only. The sales during the first hour
were very large, but after that time it became
more quiet and reacted slightly, giving place to
Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville
which became the leaders Oh a decided upward
movement in the stocks of the regular list.
There were more evidences of outside inter-
est in the speculation to-day, Notwithstanding
the professional character of the dealings, than
have been seen for some time. The trading
extended to q specially large number of low
priced shares. and in them several marked
movements were made, the Chesapeake and
Ohio, the Rio Grande Westerns with Mexican
Central. Wheeling and Lake Erie. Cleveland
Columbus. Cincinnati, and st. Louis, and Man
haitian being most prominent. The advance
met with no setback, and the close was active
and strong at the best prices OF the day.
The following table shows the prices OF active
stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester-
day. Corrected daily for The DISPATCH by

Manager Chaplin. of the Clearing House, was
happy Saturday. His report showed that the
exchanges for the week were the largest of the
year, and nearly 100000 better than for the
corresponding time last year. This shows that
while the railroad imbroglin may have caused
some uneasIness, it had no effect upon business
except to increase it. This may sound like a
paradox, but the fact remains all the same.

Some Fnegian Traits.

When a song was struck up by our
party, 1 thought the Fuegians would
have fallen down with establishment.
With equal surprise they viewed our
dancing; but one of the young men, when
asked, had no objection to a little waltz
ing. Little accustomed to Europeans as
they appeared to be, yet they knew and
dreaded our firearms; nothing would
tempt them to take gun in their hands.
They begged for knives, calling them by
the Spanish word cuchilla- They ex-
planned also what they wanted, by acting
as if they had piece of blubber in their
mouths, and then pretending to cut in
stead of tear it.
1t was as easy to please as it was diff
cult to satisfy these savages. Young
and old, men and children, never ceased
repeating the word yammerschooner,
which means ''give me-" After point
ing to almost every object, one after the
other, even to the buttons on our coats,
and saying their favorite word in as
many intonations as possible, they would
then use it in a neuter sense, and vacant
Iv repeat yammerschooner. After yam
merschoonering for any article very
eagerly, they would by simple artifce
point to their young women or little
children, as much as to say; "lf you
will not give it me, surely you will to
such as these. "-Populqr Science Monthly

Remarkably Heavy Leather.

The thickest and almost the heaviest
leather ever seen in this market, or in all
probability in any market in the world,
has been received by S. H. Frank & Co.,
from their tannery in Redwood City, and
created much comment among those IN
terested in that commodity.
The hides came from cattle IN the
northern part of the State, and, al
though not unusual as regards size, were
remarkably thick and heavy. They re-
1aired eight months to tan, and the
enormous gain of seventy-fve per cent.
during the process was noted, the usual
gain being about sixty-five per cent. The
sides of tanned leather are double the
thickness Of ordinary sole leather, and
weigh from fifty to sixty pounds each.
the rolls in which they are done up
weigh rum 44S to 5O4 pounds.
1t was the opinion of all who examined
this leather that it was in all respects the
most remarkable ever seen here or any
where else in the United States, and was
one of the unique productions of Cali
fornia,-San Franeisco cal,
