NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORK, May 16.--The stock market is to-
day active, and while weak at frat rallied
sharply, nearly recovering early losses and
bringing up prices close to those of yesterday.
The general expectation, in view OF extraordi-
narily heavy shipments OF gold in the last two
weeks, was that the bank statement would
show serious decrease and there was therefore a
vigorous effort to sell. The statement, however,
when it appeared showed a small in
crease in the reserves instead of the loss ex-
pected and there was a rush to buy greater
even than the previous pressure TO sell, and
prices rallied very sharply The market closed
steady and active at recovery.
Government bonds steady.
Petroleum-Pennsylvania spot closed at 6eX.
WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly bank statement shows the follow
ing changes: Reserve increase, $4,000; specie
decrease, 900; circulation decrease, $4,000.

whats happend now?' asked the
Critic Of Mr.. w. H. Crosby, who was be.
hind the bar at the National Hotel sltur-
day night, with his sleeves rolled up
above his elbows, trying TO supply the
thirsty crowd of customers.
"Ob, it's only the grip which has laid
mp all my bar tenders, and ! thought
would tax a hand mixing drinks myself
While Mr.. Crosby was talking Judge
Fitzgerald of Arizona walked up 20 the
bar and called for mint julep. 1t was
supplied him. and no sooner was IL swal-
lowed than stranger came staggering
into the room and, siding up to the crowd
at the bar, insisted on everybody drink
ing with him.
~ do not care for anything more to
drink" said the Judge
"But YOU won't decline to drink with
the rest insisted the stranger.
81 most assuredly will, answered the
Judge, because ! never take drink UNI
less ! want IT,
The Judge, who is very prolific story
teller, then proceeded to relate q little ex.
perienCc that he had down in Arizona,

pany with the clerk of the court, to get

Say, take drink, Colonel address

me.
81 don't want one replied.
Well, yes, you do, and YOU better

~ reiterated that did not want {
drink and taking hold Of the clerks arm
started ont of the saloon
Well, ! guess you will drink, because

~ said, j guess you will not and We
walked on out while the ruliian was hesi
tating about shooting us ON sight. Tw,
days after that the runian was arrested
for horse stealing, tried and convicted
and when he came up for sentence | askeC
him if had anything to say. He mad,

Judge, know now that have mad,
