NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YoaK, July 16.-The general indis-
position to operate in the stock market
has grown to such proportions that even
the traders are complaining that the tluctu-
atoms are insufficient TO afford chance of
profit on either side, and the outside pub
lie are out entirely. SO that the commission
business transacted is almost nothing.
TRADING ALMOST FrArUaELEss.
The dulness and stagnation in the mar
ket to-day were equal to anything seen of
late and the trading was more barren Of
feature than for months. The only i'm
portant movement was the decline in
cordage, while no animation was shown IN
anything traded in. The invitation of the
Postmnster-Generai for bids for carrying
the mails helped Pacific Mail at the open
ing. but its influence was soon lost. the
final gain of the stock being q small frac-
ton. Burlington showed evidence of more
interest than any other stock on the reau-
lar list, though st. Paul, as usual. was more
active; but in neither was the extreme
fuctuation for the day for more than

DUEL OFF A YACHT.
A Frenchman and American Fight
 over a Countess.

over a Countess.
 VINEYARD HAVEN, Aug. 11.-A story is told here of duel that is said to have taken place between two gentlemen guests of the New York squadron, at Glen Cove, L. l., shortly after the departure of the yachts from New York. The first scene was on one of the most prominent yachts of the fleet at a dinner party, where wine was abundantly partaken of. A young man, prominent in New York club and social life, skilled as swordsman, pistol shot and athlete, made some remarks, it is stated, refecting upon the countess of Brudeau. A cousin of the lady, French man of high social connections, was present and, resenting the language of the New York man, struck him. The latter man, who accepted, and duel with cutlasses, the only weapons at hand, was immediately arranged. The next morning they went ashore at Glen Cove, and the principals fought stripped to the waist. After short conflict the French man was badly wounded by his opponent, receiving deep cut in the right shoulder and a long jagged wound down the chest. Two doctors were summoned from New York who attended the Frenchman and he and they remained aboard the yacht to prevent discovery. The patient is said to be seriously wounded and may not recover. The Countess Marie Girard de Brudeau is a southern woman of French extraction, who married Frenchman of some promi- hence about two years ago and is well known in Parisian society. She is said to be now at Narragansett pier, and it is said to be the second duel of which she was tn e cause.

 NARRAGANsETT PIER, R. l., Aug. H. Senator Carlisle, who is here with Senators Aldrich, Harrison and Allison, as mem Der of the senate subcommittee on finance, was seen yesterday by 8 reporter, and in discussing the political situation, said: ''The farmers alliance is gradual atrophy, marasmus which indicates that the organization will not, in all probability be serious factor in the election next year. can see no danger to democratic success from the alliance. The only states it can by any probable chance carry are Kansas, and perhaps Nebraska and Colorado The democracy will lose nothing. The movement in the south is substantially unit in course al ready. This is spectre which confronts the white man in the southern states, shadow of negro supremacy. rather than have negro dominati on, the whites will bury political differences and unite at the polls in order to prevent that which they regard as greater evil. do not quite understand the alliance move ment in Ohio. The democratic candidate may not be helped by the third ticket, but between now and election difficulties may
 
 arise.
 "If the republicans nominate Harrison and the democrats Cleveland, both anti free coinage, the third party would then probably have a ticket of it's own, and the losses would generally be greater to the republicans than to the democrats. Speaking of the probable candidates for the presidency in 1892, MT. Carlisle said ''The republicans will nominate President Harrison if MT. Blaine will not consent to stand. The influence of the ladies oi his family may deter MT. Blaine, but there is tremendous pressure upon hin from his old party friends to run. Ht | would sweep the convention, think. NJ l republican is as strong as Blaine. I d. not think that he will consent to run. MT Cleveland, in my judgment, is still tn strongest democratic candidate. He ma. have offended the extreme pro silver mel by his remarks against free coinage, but b enjoys wonderful reputation among tn people"
