The interruption of Geographic communica-
tion over large portion OF the country, added
TO the already very marked 1ndsposttion of
both domestic and foreign operators to do any
thing in the stock market pending develop
ments, served to render transactions in the
stock market to-day the smallest for any full
day for the present year aud long time previ-
GUS Trading among those who attended the
session of the board was of the most pronounced
hand to mouth character, and the absence of a
large number who will remain over the holiday
next Monday, was influential in creating aud
intensifying the apathy prevailing. The only
movements in the list OF note were those in the
corn roads, Wizards and industrials. Cotton
Oil stocks were active and strong under manipu-
lation Of bulls, both old and new stock rising
over per cent. Silver was again weak on adj
vices from Washington that the bill for the
purchase Of silver in the country would get no
consideration, having been introduced too late
in the session. The rest of the market is alb
solutely without feature. and while there was
q firm opening, with further advances in the
corn roads, the hammering operations of
traders brought most stocks below the level of
opening prices. Covering later brought every
thing up again. The best prices of the day
we're reached in the last hour, the market
finally closing dull and strong at 500 all fractions
better than opening figures. The Anal changes
are all small fractional changes with no Ina-

INTEREST AND PENSIONS.

In the year 1867 the interest on the pub lie
debt was Sl43, 7S1, 900. In the same year the
pension account amounted to $40, 1885, 900.
In the year 1891 the pension account has run
up to S126, OO0. coo and the interest down to
S32 100, coo. The total in 1867 was S164, III 900.
IN 1891 S15S, GOO 600. On the two accounts
we are paying less than we were twenty-five
years ago. There was no complaint when
more than One-third of the revenue Of the
Government was paid to men who had
bought the bonds of the Government at
from 80 to 60 per cent discount, but there is
an cutlery now when old soldiers. becoming
decrepit through advancing years, are given
the few dollars each month that keeps them
from being dependent upon public charities.
The bond-holder had the first chance at the
National Treasury, and took from it the
last dollar that was due him. The pen
sioner waited his turn, and is now re-
preached for having outliyed his usefulness.

MORE PUBLIC OFFICES.

Supervisors Talk of Creating Two More
Positions.
Every few days the Finance Committee
of the Board of Supervisors discovers some
petty iobbery in the matter of supplies, by
means of which the city is plundered of
double and treble the actual value of
the work. The bills for stationery in the
several deDartmen IS paralyzed the commit
teemen at first, when they were tender and
not used to the ways OF the jobber. Not so
now.
Yesterday the committee came across two
items that unsteadied them for the moment,
namely: The lOcksmith's and plumber
bills Not that they are anything new. but
in the hurried eXamin alton of a thousand
similar bills heretofore they have escaped
notice. The lOcksmith's bills amounted to
nearly $500 month, enough, roughly guess
ing, to have furnished since the first of the
year every door in the municipal govern
ment with a lock. These bills must be con-
Sidered in connection with the fact that the
locks are furnished by the city, and the
charges are for fitting only.
The plumbing charges have for many
years formed the groundwork for scandal,
but there has never been any permanent
remedy suggested. Yesterdays discovery,
however, promises to crystalline. The FL
nance Committee is of the opinion that a
competent l0ckSmith and COM etent
plumber can be hired by the year 10 do ut
about One-thrd the present cost the work
required. 1t is likely that these two posi-
tons will be created at the next meeting of
the board,

writing to Benz amin Austin he declared: " EX-
