THE WEEK AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The total transactions in stocks last week were
i,l34 647 shares, against l,I04,l64 in the pre-
ceding week, and 1,377,l09 shares in the cor
responding week of last year. While the stock
market is always subject TO manipulation. il is
doubtful if it has been 80 influenced by it for a
long time as in TIE last week The attempts TO
excite public interest in speculation have not
been eminently successful, but the efforts were
not relaxed The uncertainty in regard TO silver
legislation was not relieved and prices huctuated
a good deal as the chanees varied While the
prospects appear to be that the Free Coinage bill
has been practically defeated, there is no probac
bility that the silver faction in Congress will
cease it's efforts in behalf Of the measure. The
threats to defeat some one OF the APPROXIMATION
bills and so make necessary special session make
the uncertainty deeper, and in these circumstances
the public shows an aversion 10 engaging in new
speculative ventures On the other hand, for
eion holders of American securities have been in
clined to sell, rather than buy, and their action
has made necessary support in the stocks fay0rtcs
In the foreign markets. The sales, which were
not very large, were absorbed by friends of the
companies, and throughout the week the market
displayed wonderful strength and COURAGE. There

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

The returns of net earnings for December that
have come to hand have been generally unianV u,
able. in consequence plainly of q large increase III
working expenses The statement of the AtchlsOn
system printed in another column, was even
worse than had been anticipated, and REQUIRES
some exclamation by the managers OF the prop
ortv While the gross earnings showed a fair in
crease the reduction in net is too large to be due
70 wholly natural causes. The gross earnings IN
January are much more satisfactory, and support
@ba belief that better rates are maintained by
the railroads in all sections of the country. The
Tribune has printed the gross earnings OF forty
four companies or systems for the fourth week IN
January OF this number, thirty three companies
have returned gains of $5lO ,O4l or AZ per cent
and eleven companies have returned losses aver
agino SO per cent The whole number gives a
gain over the week of last year of S395,645, or
III per cent. The number of working days In

Hints to Young Newspaper Writers.
IEugepe Field in the Cbicapo Nexsl

A young writer cannot be too carefufi in
his choice of words; eternal vigilance is
the price of correct English style. Col
loquialisms are not to be fought out of ex-
istence-they can't be. They are exceed
ingly. useful, and at times they are exceed
ing effective, for the same reason that the
introduction by adroit public speakers of
homely phrases or popular proverbs into
their speeches invariably catches the ear
and wins the heart of an audience. But a
writer must know his weapons before he
can use them with effect. It is brutal of
him to employ bludgeon when the ser
vices of a rapier are demanded, and he ex-
hibits objectionable senselessness who
fritters away time by fencing when only a
club can achieve his purpose.
There are now, we think, one hundred
and twenty thousand words in the English
language; the possibilities in the use of
synonyms are remarkable, and we should
say that to the study of synonyms the
young writer should apply himself dill
gently. To the newspaper writers we are
looking with solicitude and hope, for the
reason that, outside the columns of the
press, our literature does not appear to be
making any progress Of ~. Our Ntsss.

Charles H. Platt, the general manager Of

Charles II. Platt, the general manager Of
the Grand Central station:
The engineer and fireman of the New
Haven train claim that the home signal at
Seventy-second street was clear. The con-
ductor of the New Haven train claims that
he heard no bell. If the signal was re-
ceived the bell should have rung. This
bell is an extra precautionary signal.
The number Of people in the shop train
is not known. The fire in tho shop train
was caused either by lamp, the explo-
| sion of the headlight or by car stoves.
The signal man at Eighty-sixth street,
at which point the Seventy-second street
| home signal and distant signal are locked,
| had not unlocked the Seventy second
street signal for the New Haven train
when the collision occurred
| The operator at Seventy-Second street
had not cleared either the home or distant
signal at Seventy Second street and is
substantisted in these statements by the
Il track walker who was in the Seventy
| Second street cut when the New Haven
train passed and he states that the lever
| was blocked.
The track walker made an examination
of the Seventy-street home signal and
found it to be at danger and lamp burning
brightly.
The track foreman said he saw the
Seventy second street district signal al
| danger when the New Haven train passed
The foreman was right by the signal HI
said:
have examined the into the mechanical
and electrical system of signals and fine
everything in irst-class order. Thu
operator at Seventy second street immedi
ately notified Eighty-sixth street that tn
New Haven train had passed his signal a
danger. The signals are interlocked ant
it is impossible to clear the Seventy-sec
ond street signal whom train is in tn
section which was the case on this occa
| sion.

Again Weak-The Close Dull.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20.
Railroad bonds reached total of $89S, 900. The
trading was devoid of feature throughout the
entire session, the final changes being confined to
the smallest fractions, though gener ally in the
direction Of higher figures.
Trading in stocks were very limited and the
days sales were the smallest for any full day of
the year. The only movement in the list of note
was in the corn roads, the Wizards and the in
dustrials. Silver again weak on advices
from Washington that the bill for the purchase
of the silver in the country would get consid-
GRAFTON, having been introduced too late in the
session. The rest of the market was abso lutely
without feature Of any kind and W lille there was
a frmer opening with further advances in the
corn roads, the bammering operations of the
traders brought most stocks below the level of
the opening prices The covering later brought
out everything and up again and he best prices
of the day were reached In the last hour, the
market finally closing dull but firm at small frac-
tions better than the opening figures.
Closing prices reported over the private wires
