NEW YORK STOCKS.
A More Confident Tone Than Has Been
Experienced for the Past Two Weeks
Late Foreign Failures Had Only
Temporary Effect Upon Prices.


NEW YORK, May A-The stock market to
day after material decline on the adverse
foreign advices rallied stubbornly and dis
played great strength and confident tone
to which it has been stranger for the last
two weeks. The expected advance in the
discount rate of the Bank of England oc-
CURED this morning, and to aid in the demor-
alizing influence which this announcement
had upon the stock market, failures were re-
ported there, while all stocks were lower,
and the sales of foreigners in this market
were very heavy at the opening. In fact the
purchases by the foreign element of yester-
day were thrown overheard and the effect
was to nearly wipe out all the Improvement
scored yesterday.
Evidences were quickly forthcoming here
that the gold export scare has lost its hold on
the opinions of the habituey n6f the street
and also that the leading operators in the
market believe its course is about run. Sup
port was freely accorded in many of the
leading stocks, and there was good buying
for outside account through the commission
houses. The traders also took advantage of
the low prices established at the opening
to cover some lines of shorts, and this was q
considerable factor in the rally that sue
ceeded the early decline. The opening
losses under the severe pressure to sell nd ex
the stocks which enjoy an international
market being most affected.
The stocks showing the largest losses,
however, were advanced from the opening
sales, and while q few others like Lackawan-
ma scored further losses the current was
quickly changed on the discovery of large
buying orders for the leading stocks, and
the traders attempting to cover caused a
general rise of over l per cent on light pur-
chases Reports from London showed O
growing disposition to buy Americans. The
upward movement, once started, met with
nc. setback until the last hour, when realiza-
tions again caused partial recession. The
strongest stocks of the day were Missouri
and Lake Eries and st. Paul.
The grangers monopolized attention dur
ing most of the day, but the fluctuations in
Sugar, which was exceptionally weak in the
forenoon but rallied sharply later, was the
special feature of the trading. Bankers re-
port increasing inquiry for the new CONNER
cial investments which have been recently
closed rather heavy at close to last nights
figures in most cases, the final changes being
irregular and for small fractions generally.
the only exception being q rise of " in
Cordage.
Railroad bonds were quiet to dull, but
shared in the strength displayed by the
share list though showing the usual small
$733 900. No feature of Importance was devel-
oped and the last prices are generally the
best of the day.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady.
State bonds have been dull and steady.

exactly equivalent to the demand, con-
sumers are not suffering from any real short

JOSLIN

JosLIN. Aug Rev DUNCAN preach
congregation.
Miss Ada Incl is visiting in Port By
ron this week.
There is some talk of several o. our
young ladies attending the Port Byron
academy the coming term.
Mr. Blackman's daughter Cora, of Mo-
line has been visiting friends at Joslin
several weeks. She returned home yes
terday.
Our creamery is about ready to com.
mence operations. We hope the farmers
will willingly aud readily pstronize Mr.
Little as they have promised.
The rain that we had on Saturday and
Sunday morning last was complete
Godsend The corn was beginning to
show the effects of dry weather.
There is a sore mouth epidemic among
the cattle. A wash made out of alum
and gol3en seal sprinkled upon the lips
and gums is the remedy that is being ad,
ministered in this locality.
Anyone travelling in England would be
amused on reading some of the public
house signs. Upon one is the following:
The soldier fights for ali;
The parson prays for all;
And the farmer pays for ali.
The above is an inference that the
greatest part of the burden and expenses
OF government and civilized society rests
upon the shoulders of agriculture, and
that condition seems TO arise from the
fact that the price, as rule. of that
which he has to purchase are both fixed
for him, he having to take the market
price for that which he sells aud pays
the price ass ed for tha: which he has to
purchase.
As farmers expenses have been in
creased by legislation, it has been sug-
gested by neighbor 90" that his income
should be correspondingly increased in
order to place the business of farming
upon fair paying basis" but how that
is to be accomplished the writer is care-
full not TO state. OF course the government
might form itself into huge trust and
issue a decree that wheat shall not be
sold for less than 81. rs; corn so and oats
40 cents per bushel, and that fat steer
and fat hog shall not be sold for
less than five cents per pound live weight,
but that would be simply class legislation,
and the real Simon-pure farmers are not
asking that one injustice be placed upon
another. Two blacks don't make a
white, ard two wrongs don't make a
right"
But supposing the government should
place farming upon fair paying basis"
IN such way, We then would have the
consumers 10 settle with; the laboring
class would strike for higher wages, be-
cause living had been made more costly
The manufacturers having to pay higher
wages would demand higher i'm port duties
so that they could place higher price
upon their goods. and thus We would be
swinging the circle aud whipping the
devil round the stump continually and
what have we accomplished, Have We
not on account OF our dearer msnufsct-
ures simply and etfectualiy walled our
selves in, and shut ourselves out of q
foreign market? MULTUM IN PARvo.

Because THE ARGUS announced Mon

this fuss made for spite or are THE AR
GUS and the attorneys for Mr.. Bermond
IN the employ of the old line companies2"
etc. 1t begins to look as if the memb ers
of the bar as we'll as the press would be
obliged to consult the special wishes of
the Union before adopting a course of
procedure in the interests of Justice or
public policy. What pack of
ninnies the Rock Island bar
would be composed of under
such circumstances, to say nothing of the
degradation to utter worthlessness to
which the press would be sentl No, THE
ARGUS has no tears of any such condition
OF affairs. This paper is not controlled
either BY the wishes of any other paper
or by the slings of the Mississippi VAL
ley Insurance company, or any other cor
poration nor by any attorney or attorneys,
and it does not believe the attorneys on
whom the Union attempts to visit its
wrath will be in the least swsyed from any
adopted position by its utterances.
In view of the fact that William Nc
Entry is associated on the side Of the
case for which the Union has formed
such peculiar dislike, is not that paper
getting little rash in its statements9 II
has been rather careful in what it has
said about Mr.. McEniry in the last year
or so, since he brought it down upon its
marrow bones in humble and earnest en-
treaty. Will Mr.. McEniry have to call
the morning paper down again? He has
but to say the word.
