Tracy's Sincerity.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON. July 4-Secretary Tracy
will have an opportunity to show the sin
ceritg of his declaration in favor of civil
service reform i'll the navy yards. The
board of officers who conducted eXamiua-
lions of candidates for foreman in the Nor
fork navy yards, recommended the appoint
ment of G.. T. Richards of Washington to
be master plumber, in place OF j. s.
Odenahl, who was given the appointment
under the old political system on the recon-
incubation Of Representative Bowden.
When the result of the examination was
announced, Bowden and Odenahl came 10
Washington and protested so vigorously
that Secretary Tracy has suspended the
appointment of Richards, which had
already been made. The composition
of the examining board is such as
TO place it above suspicion of unfairneSS,
and if Secretary Tracy ignores its recon-
mendatiOns for the Norfolk politicians he
will endanger the whole system of civil
service reform which he had begun to carry
out In the navy yards.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Tuesday, April esp. m
The reaction in the stock market that was be-
gun Yesterday was shOrtlived The opening 10
dav was stoDng, and, although fluctuations were
frequent. the general movement Of prices was To-
ward higher level. There was no news to eX-
plain it, and in fact, the strength or the InarkeU
appeared to be due simply to- the large puphc IN
terest London rebought part of the STOCKS IL
sold Yesterday, and it may naturally be inferred
of course, that the previous selling was Tor the
short account. The railway situation was noC
improved in any respect. but all veXed questohS
about rates are expected TO be settled finally at
the meeting Of the Western Iarlh ASSOCIATION Ill
this city on May G. Disturbances in both passenger
and freight rates, therefore, must be considered
merely temporary and accidental The possibility
of a general strike in the btuminOus coal fields
has been removed factor IN the speculation,
and the shipments of gold to Europe are regarded
with the utmost indifference. 1t was calculated
in real Yankee style that the Bank of England
would raise its discount rate on Ihursday, al
though the conditions that may affect the action OF
the directors may be changed in twenty-four
bonrs' The rates of exchange on London at
New-York and Paris indicated that the bank still
wants gold, and for this reason an advance IN the
discount rate may be probable, although move
ment in securities or merchandise might change
quickly the financial relations.
The conspicuous feature of the trading to-day
was the anxiety of professional operators to re-
cover the stocks they have recently sold. 10 BUY
one group they sold others, and then discovered
that by the manipulation nothing had been ac-
complished The volume of business was little
smaller than it was yesterday, but with the ex,
ception Of the Granger shares few stocks failed
TO recover their losses. Louisville and Nashville
gained nearly per cent, apd Union Pacific and
New-England closed l 5-8 per cent higher. Erie
rose l per cent on small transactions. The
Willard stocks exactly recovered their losses. and
Western Union joined them, while Sugar Refneries
and one or two other industrial stocks closed
changed The closing firm and in some In
stances at nearly the highest points.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET
Government bonds remained neglected, but yes
terday's decline in 1-2s followed to-day by
concessions of 1-4a1-2 per cent in bids for As.
