THE DAY ~ STOCKS.

Friday, May o-p m
1t has been a long time since one Of the recog-
nizcd Gould stocks has held first place in days
dca.ngs or has not been noticeably weak. as
compared with the general market. To-day, how
ever Missouri Pacific stock was the leader OF the
market, both in amount OF transactions ana IN
the amount Of advance. Since Mr.. Gould re-
turned from his recent Southern trip he has
not uttered one word for publication. Is he now
follower in a procession that started without
him? is question which some operators VINO
have bccn left are anxious 10 solve. Missouri
Pacific to-day traded in 10 the extent OF
50 500 shares, and its price rose from IS "a
last night TO ~ IS this morning. 1t is an
nounced that The company proposes 10 fund rs

deceived by misapprchension Of Mr.. Goulds
nostion in the market.

followed Missouri Pacific simply in sympathy with
10 the market; the stock rose from 81 to Sc IL.
And vet at the last annual election of the west
crn Union Telegraph Company much more than
ono half Of the stock voted without a single share
of the holdings Of the Gould family. Yes, senti-
ment is a factor And SO the large" bears arc
hedging While continuing sort" Of some stocks
which are found to be scarce when attempts at
purchasing are made, they are buyers Of other
stocks for a rise. Two or three more days IKE
to-dav and the straddc" will be so complete
that some Of them will not know whether they
want an advance or decline. 1t is something
ike that which some operators in the past have
dane in the same stock-taking buyer three days
and selling a seller three days at the same price.
There is a lot of fun III it. as well double
commissions TO be paid.

4 FAD OF THE FASHIONS! o. J.
Small Separate Tables Instead Of the
Uusual Large Ones
for Dinner.
Some Of the Advantages and
Drawbacks Claimed for
the Innovation.
The Etiquette Of Taking
Dinner.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Daily Telegraph referred recently to an
innovation Just introduced by fsshiona-
bio lady in the practice Of dinner giving,
which, should it become prevalent, is cal
culated, the Telegraph thinks, ito arouse
general CONSERVATION among those who
really understand the fine art Of Rastrono-
my. The reforming or, perhaps, It should
with greater strictness be said the revolution
ary-dame of Lutetia. accommodated her
guests at number Of small reparate tables,
instead of gathering them together at the
family board. II is understood that such
movement has been for some time past
contemplation, and it is asserted that the
change is likely to become popular with en-.
terprising mothers who wish to give the
younger guests an opportunity of fore
gathering for the purpose Of Irritation, and,
furthermore, that it will serve to pro-
mote scauserie,' or that light, sparkling
conversation in which the Gaul 10 supposed
to excel.
''All connoisseuxs in good living will re-
hundred and fifty years ago, which sets
forth how, when the dinner is done, the
company digest, argue, tell stories, laugh
and calumniate their neighbours; but the
Sage of Ferney certainly said nothing about
the story telling and the backbiting taking
place during the repast, or that the dinner
table itself should be disintegrated into
badinage and chat. The advocates of the
new system claim under the old system of
dining at one large table the conversation
]; was frequently monopolized by some lion,
or by some influential parsonage commonly
called refrigerator, who was found to be
listened to andwhose time honored Jokes and
anecdotes had to be apparently relished.
''But to this the answer is obvious that at
large dinner party, say Of 6ve-and-twenty
4 guests, the influential parsonage, who is, OF
recourse, placed on the right hand of the
hostess, is only able, if his jokes are stale
: and his anecdotaa nnintlaas. to bore his
