NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The stock market was
again decidedly strong today. while the
amount of business done was maintained at
the largest figures the result of the days
operations being to lift the entire list while
many of the active shares and several of the
most prominent stocks were advanced heaY-
lily. The day was marked by renewal of
the late buying for inside account in many of
the leading groups Of stocks the GOulds be-
ing specially conspicuous for strength, whose
effect was enhanced by their late sluggish
ness in the face OF the general strength of
the market.
The parties who are in control of those
properties were credited with entertaining a
much more bullish feeling on the market
than of late, and rumOrS of negotiations
looking to The sale of the treasury assets of
the Missouri Pacific in order to wipe out the
floating debt, and so open the way for a re-
sumption of dividends, were circulated with
some effect. The realizing sales of yester-
day had their effect this morning III sales
apparently largely for European account;
but this movement was of comparatively
short duration, and the offerings were
quickly absorbed when the whole market
gathered strength, and the upward move
ment then inaugurated lasted until the close
of business There was fresh bullish talk
from the Grand Central depot, ana New
York Central for time led the advance.
while 1t reached nearly to the best price of
the year.
The buying by the West was most noticea-
bic and the grangers were prominent among
the low priced shares. Omaha was the
leader IL point of advance. The Richmond
West Point securities were much less
prOminant in the market than for a few
days past. but the common stock and the
bonds were active while the stock showed
some weakness after its substantial rise of
yesterday. The industrialS were quiet but
the cotton Oil stocks were again strong and
reached the best prices since the reorganiZa-
ton, notwithstanding the denial OF the rumOr
OF dividend on the preferred at an early
date. The general list opened down On the
heavy pressure TO sell and while most stocks
yielded small fractions Delaware d Hud-
son lost per cent. The market was held,
however,
The whole list gradually gathered strength
and before noon the upward movement was
In full swing with Missouri Pacific easily the
leader. The Vanderbilts, grangers and spe-
ciaIties Joined in, and the last to snow the eff
fectS of the new buying were the Wizards,
Northern Pacific preferred becoming the
special feature of the market in the last hour.
Everything but Richmond & West Point
shared in the movement and the market
finally closed active and strong at the highest
pr1ces of the day. The final gains are gem

Several Fortunes.
CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-John Davies, one
of the best known mining experts in the
West, died at the Sherman house last,
night of pneumonia. Mr.. Davies hadi
made and lost several fortunes in COLI
OradO and California, but died almostl
penniless. He was the original owner
of the Little Chief mine, near Lead
vile, which he sold some years ago for
100000. 1t was afterwards sold again
for s5.O0O.O00. There is not a miner In
the West who has not heard of the great
poker game at Leadville. in which Da-
vieS got up from the table $50, 600 loser.
The next night he sat down and not
only recovered his losses, but $50, 600 on
the top of it. Drunk or sober, no one
could deceive him on the value or pos
sibilities of mine, but money slipped
through his fingers like so much water.
He gave large sums of money to char
liable societies at Denver, Leadville and
other Colorado towns.

How to Woo slumber.

The Delsartian doctrine Of rest by Tolun-
tary muscular realization is somewhat con-
6rmed by the experience of those who
have acted upon this theory in overcom-
ing Insomnia. Nothing so quickly brings
sleep rs the voluntary disposal Of the
body and limbs in such fashion as to
promote muscular relaxation. The legs
and arms should be so placed as TO bring
them in contact with the mattress at as
many points as possible. This affords
support and relieves the muscles. The
body should be disposed in like fashion,
and if sll has been done properly the
wOOer of sleep will presently have the
consciouness Of resting his whole weight
directly upon the mattress. When once
this feeling comes sleep generally follows.
The plan is better than the old one of re-
peating the numerals or going over some
meaningless series of words, for it has the
double advantage of putting the physical
man into an attitude ofrepose and ofdis-
tracing the mind from whatever thoughts
are st enmity with sleep.

Wanted Them Weighed.

She was business woman. Anybody
could see that She had square jaw, a
firm, set mouth, and as she stepped up to
State street stand yesterday, afternoon
the young man in charge felt that he was
in for it. She had been attracted by a
sign which read, Grapes cents per
pound"
"How much are these grapes worth ?"
she questioned, in green persimmon
tone Of voice,
Five cents pound, ma'sm."
"You may give me three poun Is" she
said, after pause.
The young man opened a paper bag,
and with the assurance Of a long expe-
rience in the business, filed it and pass
ed it toward her.
81 want three pounds of grapes" she
observed, icily.
"Weil, here you are, ma'am," persist
ed the vender.
"fou will weigh those grapes, if you
please!" And the mercury in the ther-
mometer across the street fell four de-
grees.
Certainly, ma'am." and the boy ad-
justed small pair of scales to the three
pound notch. When the bag was placed
in them the lever went up with a snap.
he took out one bunch and laid il back
in his box. Still down weight. Another
and the scales righted to hair.
There you are ma'am-," but she
snatched the bag and bolted, mad enough
to murder somebody.-chicago Nail,
