WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

The stock market opened moderately active on
what appeared to be buying for foreign account.
The real nature of the transactions could not
readily be leaned but on the surface the London
market seemed to be a borrower Of stocks from
New-Yorll. The plain indication of a foreign
short interest may have been due TO orders from
this side of the Atlantic, and consequently spccu-
lative Whether the buying was for European or
domestic account, it was sufficient 10 prOlone the
were in most urgent demand and they closed al an
advance of fully per cent Union Pacific moved

part Of the system were published when 1t yielded
o fraction under heavy pressure. Among the
specalties Pacific Mail and Chicago Gas were
strong and higher. while Ncw-Jersey. Central
gained IA and Wheeling and Lake Erie com
mon 3-s per cent. Other stocks closed about
1-2 per cent higher average The stock
popularity known as WhisSey Trust was something
of a feature, and after early decline 70 Al Is
it rose to AZ, and closed only ! per cent below
its highest point. A part of this strength was
owing undoubtedly 10 the declaration of the usual
monthly dividend Of l-2 per cent.
There was little news to affect the course or
prices. The returns of railroad earnings were
not favorable, but they were disrcgarded Money
was still extremely easy and the decline OF nearly
| per cent in silver certificates was accepted az
proof that the Free Coinage bill had been utterly
beaten at this session Of Congress. The closing
was strong, although the last prices were slightly
below the highest for the day. The volume OF
business was small, and the trading was both
local and professional AZ the same time tie most
eager buyers were the sellers in the closing days
of last week.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad-
vantage to the fuitgrower of being in early locality
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardst of Capay Valley
rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
acres of this rich land when the trees in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income.
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-
siding in the valley, whose duty is show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four ownsites have been laid out in different points
IN the valley, viz Esparto Cadenasso, Guinda and
Rumsey Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms.
The enterprsng and fourishing town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and SI2 900
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine ourstory brick hotel two large brick
blocks and waterworks with pipes laid in the Streets
The town has postoffce, school-house and weekly
paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Posofflces have alse been established at Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place. situated the head of the
valley, IS the present terminus of the railroad The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters well as land-seekers
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus concisely summed up:
soil of great fertility, yielding bountifuly of every
crop.
soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
climate perfectly adapted the curing of raisins and
drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators
location that's central and close to markets. Railroad
communication which enables shipments to be made
quickly and cheaply Lands which are sold cheaper
and on better terms than anywhere else in the State.

GRAVITATION.
Some Facts Connected With it That
are Not Generally Known.

Some Facts Connected With it That
are Not Generally Known.
Gravitation is subject that nearly
everybody is somewhat familiar with,
says the Philadelphia Times. but there
are some things about it that You NAV
not know. For instance, suppose vol,
were weighed at the top of a deep coal
mine and afterward at the bottom: do
you suppose there would be any differ
ence in the result? Yes, there would.
You would be lighter at the bottom. IF
1t were possible for you to go on down.
ward :, 600 miles in the earth and there be
weighed you would be surprised to find
your weight only one-half what it was at
the surface, and if you could 90 to the
center OF the earth you wouldn't weigh
an ounce.
This is because the center of the earth
is the center fits attractive power, which
is exerted equally in all directions. If
you ascend from the center of the earth
your weight will also decrease, but not
in the same ratio as when you descend.
In going upward the decrease will be i'm
proportion to the square of the distance.
Thus, while you would weigh nothing if
you should go downward 4 900 miles from
the surface you would still weigh one
fourth your actual weight if you could
weigh yourself 1900 miles up in the air.
The law OF gravitation is at once the
strangest and the most sublime in ali
nature. Light travels at the amazing rate
OF $4,000 miles in a second. There are
visible stars so far away that if one were
blotted out at this instant it would be
seen on the earth thousands of wears
hence, because the rays of light, starting
now, would take so long to reach us even
at the wonderful velocity at which thew
travel. But if q new star were now
placed out there in the depths of space.
where the blotted out one was, its attrac-
tive force would reach us instantly. That
strange force, which dominates the uni-
verse, would at once be felt, though of
course inappreciably, between the new
star and our earth.
Gravitation differs from all other forces
in another respect. The Intervention of
bodies in the line of attraction make no
difference in the attractive force exerted.
For example, when the moon comes in
direct line between the earth and the sun
there is not the slightest difference in the
reciprocal attraction between the two
former. The enormous power of this at
