New YORK, July 10-The stock market still
showed no change in its character to-day,
but prices swung upward again under the
demand from the shorts, while the trading
was entirely professional and the fluctua-
tions in all but the few prominent stocks
were insignificant There was more than
usual bear manipulation, directed especially
against the Grangers stocks, Burlington and
St. Paul in particular, but covering de-
mand sprung up which reversed yesterdays
tendency in prices. The borrowing demand
for Burlington was especially urgent.
1t was positively stated that no gold would
go out tomorrow, and while exchange was
firmer and a shade higher the effect of the
assurance was seen in the higher prices for
stocks. Dizziness, however, was the rule as
well as the narrowness of the local interest
in the market, and during the day the fuc-
tuations in not over six stocks called atten-
tion to the dealings in those shares.
In the early dealings London was linn
tied buyer, and the decline in the grain mar
kets was reflected by some buying orders
from Chicago, which strengthened the
Changers and probably headed off consider
able pressure upon them. The final setting
at rest of the rumors in regard to the Louis
vile dividend by the declaration of ~ per
cent, had only quoting erect upon the
market declined. fhe same may be
said of Chicago Gas and Atchison. Of the
other Industrials sugar was the strong spot
i'll the market, while Cordage barely held its
own. Lake Shore developed some strength
and activity, but the rest of the list was dull
and without special movement, except in
the Changers, Northern Pacific preferred,
c., c., C. & st. l.. and Louisville and Nash
vile.
The opening was steady, but the pressure
of the bears forced fractional losses during
the early dealings, when the publication Of
the st. Paul earnings and the other favora-
Bile reports changed the temper of the spec
ulation, which remained firm throughout
the rest of the day, becoming positively
strong in the last hour. The close, however,
was only firm but at the top figures of the
day. The final changes are in almost all
cases small fractional advances, but sugar is
up 15s and Wheeling and Lake Erie pre-
ferred ~.
Railroad bonds failed to respond to the
strength in the share list, though firm tone
prevailed, as usual of late, and the most of
the issues traded in show Slight gains for
the day. The important advances are very

ing reached only $65l 900.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
CHICAGO. July 10-Rogers, Brown & Mer-
win say: The Chicago pig iron market has
shown increasing dullness during the past
week. Orders now going, for the most part,
are for small lots. A few large consumers
are still holding off before placing their
seasons contracts, but the number is limited
and the parties'waitlng are doing so in hopes
of getting concessions either in the way of
Job lots or iron from furnaces having de-
pleted order books. Prices remain OH about
the same basis as q week ago, though on
Southern cokes there is little firmness on
some grades, notably, No. / soft, which at
present is scarce for early shipment.
The railroad buying, which was expected
to start July !, has not yet begun, notwith-
standing the fact that the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when the crops will have to be
moved and all available rolling stock will
be in constant demand Postponement of
purchase on the part of railway lines simply
means so much additional business when
these companies come into the market and
a larger impetus will be given to trade when
ever this movement starts up.

New YORK, July 10.-An Englishman
named William Hobbs, who had been en-
ployed by some of the best families in New
York as butler, died early this morning at
Bellevue Hospital from wound produced
by an umbrella thrust in the eye. His as
sailant's name is unknown
Hobbs and some others, together with
the unknown man, had been drinking
Wednesday night, and got into heated dis
cussion over the relative merits of English
and American jockeys. The butler and the
unknown left the saloon together, and soon
after came to blows. Hobbs was seen to
fall, while his assailant walked away and
was lost in the darkness AS the mans in
juries at first seemed very slight, no search
was made for the unknown, who now turns
out to be murderer

Now, man cannot be punished twice

from the hall.

himself as he skunk from tho palace and

There is little more to tell. The en-

/. Ramek ceased, and as his voice In
jeering echoes died away a shuddsr
passed over the assemblage. For his
words, though harsh, were wise, and all
who heard them knew the prince must
die. The Princess Bru sobbed painfully
and the emperor's face was grave. He
found himself in strange dilemma. He
might save the prince by cutting off his
nose and beheading the Princess Bru,
but, with his daughter dead, Hamassar
could not be his son-in-law. On the
other hand, if he killed Hamassar of
course he could not wed him to his
daughter. Whichever way he played
the game he lost.

cheek bones, unkempt whiskers and yell
low teeth. The head regarded me with
surprise for time, and then body
came into view. Its long arms, dun col
ored garments, talon like finger nails,
stoop shoulders and long neck proved
