ChfnninU Notes.

Shipping affairs have been very dull for the past few weeks, although this is the season of year for the coasting trade to re- vive. Hardly dozen freight vessels en- ter the harbor in the course of week. The captains of the few schooners that have come in say that 200 New England ships are tied up at the New York wharves for want of work to do. The general stag nation is due to the reduction in tariff rates, rendered necessary by competition. Coal is carried for 35 or 40 cents ton from New York to New Haven, where last year the tariff was about a dollar. The transportation cost of lumber has also been reduced at least one-half. These are not living rates and shippers prefer to have their vessels lie idle rather than run at loss. Business is so slack that Maine schooners bringing lumber southward are compelled to return empty handed
 As has been mentioned before, barges are driving out the coal ships. Fifty new barges have been lately fitted out by the Norfolk, Va), Transportation company for the carriage of soft coal to New York Practically all the coal used for manufac- ture and the railroads in the vicinity of New Haven comes from Virginia, and con- sequently the change is an important one Many of the new barges have been made by cutting the masts out of old fashioned California tramp sailors, plying between New York and San Francisco. The price of hard coal will not be materially affected as the greater part of that has always been transported by barges.

The Opening Quiet and Heavy-De- cline in Union Pacific and Burling- tOn-Wheeling and Lake Erie and Chesapeake and Ohio Prominent for Strength.
 NEW YORK, September B.
 Stocks opened comparatively quiet and heavy to weak Union Pacific and Burlington each show ing declines of A per cent. from last nights fig ures, while in the early trading there were further recessons in almost everything traded in. The Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks and the Chesapeake and Ohio stocks were especially prominent for strength, however, and the latter made material advances on buying sup posed to be for insiders. The selling of the gran. gers by their former principal supporters and of Union Pacific by the foreigners encouraged the local bear element, and they hammered the list all along the line. The reactions were in no case of importance until the last hour when the losses in the Vanderbilts were largely made up, Canada Southern rising over per cent. from it's lowest figures. The dealings in the industrials were of interest, although there were rumors afoat of intended movements in those shares. The mar ket continued to settle away, slowly in most stocks but rapidly enough in the leaders, until the last few minutes trading, when the usual at tempt to cover by room traders resulted in a small rally, and the close quiet, but steady to firm, at the recoveries from the lowest points.
 Railroad bonds were more quiet and the sale reached only $1,lOs,OOO, Atchison incomes fur nishing $260, ,OOo The tone of the market was heavy to weak, and many of the active bonds scored important losses. Atchison fours lost at sO1k, Burlington Convertible 1A at 105A, St. Paul consols 2 at 121 the terminals 13s at 10O5s, the fours 11s at s31s, Big Sandy sxes 11a at s4, Mobile and Ohio fours at 64, Reading f1rsts 111 at 62, the thirds at s21a, and South Carolina in comes at 24.

PERFECT CONTENT.
How It May Be Acquired by All.

Perfect content does not depend upon money. It is a physical and mental condition arising from good digestion and sound health. If per son eats well and digests and assimilates his food, sleeps soundly and feels strong and vigor- ous, he is the nearest to content.
 That is why you, reader, feel so discontented, miserable. You do not eat and sleep well, you have debility, your food troubles you, your head aches or feels dull, you are dizzy, bilious, con- stipated, nervous, run down and debiltated generally. What you need is good digestion, aud you can have it easily if you use the great stomach medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura, which is sure to make you feel like a new person imme' diately.

NI,DONALD,S BILL PAID.

Action of the Board of Finance Yes
 terday Judge Pickett's Bill Not
 Approved.
 The board of finance met yesterday af- ternoon and passed upon the bills in cured in running the municipal govern ment during August.
 The first bill to come up for considera- tion was that of the Connecticut Concrete company for an asphalt pavement at engine house No. 9. All the members of the board were present except Alderman Beers. Chief Hendrick, in support of the bill, quoted Fire Commissioner Clark, who is practical builder, as saying that the pavement was good and that it was what the contractors represent it to be. MT. Clark was willing to stake reputation that the bill was just. City Engineer Hill and Inspector Dillon maintained also that the bill was just and should be paid.
 When the debate was ended the bill was signed by Aldermen Hitler and Cunning ham and Councilman Cleaveland. Alder man Bromley and Councilman Rebman re- fused to sign it, and for the time being the fourth and necessary signature was lack ing, with the sentiment of Alderman Beers Beers entered the room. The bill was handed to him, without comment, by Councilman Cleaveland and, without com ment, he quietly signed it.
 Judge Pickett's bill for $625 for five months services as judge of the city court was not approved, only three signatures being affixed thereto. The signatures were those of Aldermen Hitler and Beers and Councilman Cleveland. This is now the fifth time that the board has refused to approve Judge Pickett's bill.
