The Stock Market Was Active, Irreg- ular, Feverish and in the Main Weak-A Vigorous Drive Made in Sugar-Railroad Bonds Firmer.
 NEW YORK, Feb 16
 The stock market to-day was active, but ex, tremsly irregular, feverish and iu the main weak. The bears wore active and aggressive. A vigor- ous drive was made at Sugar early in the day, and it closed at its To vest point with loss of A per cent. The industrial stocks were also de- pressed. Distillers and Cotton On lost # per cent. each for the day. Cordage and General Electric showed moro weakness. Tho action of the Lead directors fin declaring only per cent. upon common was disappointment, and from 465< at the opening Lead declined to 4sk and closed at the lowest point with a logs of Az per cent
 Tke Richmond and West Point stocks fell off 2x. The general list was inclined to show con- siderable re-silence in the early dealings. Man hattan after opening down per cent retired to 571s, but WAS brought up to o1B. It then drifted back to its opening price, however, and closed with loss of 4. The market was barren of feature, but the market closed active and weaker Railroad bonds were fairly active and flrmer, but without special feature.
 Following arc the closing prices, reported by PRINCE & WnITELY, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, N. r., and IS Center street, New Ha- ven, Conn.

What is Coming.
EDITOR BuLLEr1N:-.

EDITOR BULLETIN
What fear and dismay will be visi-
BILE on the faces of those hayward
children OF Stevens when the plebis-
cite is ordered here by Uncle Sam.
Down will go all those useless laws
that have been wrangled aud fumed
over--into the bottom of the waste
basket. How the poor fellows will
miss the protecting arm OF their old
uncle Stevens, now gone forever!
And how the gang have staggered
and strutted in their ungodly pride
over the downfall Of nation Some
of the brainless uuder-strappers
and scribblers have acted with the
Importance that they were helping
to carry seven kingdoms on their
shoulders. OF such is the vanity of
all small natures. The public will
hunt in vain through the columns
of the coercion papers since the 18th
of January last, for anything in the
neighborhood of sound logic on any
subject whatever. On the contrary
those papers will be found loaded
down with malice, vituperation and
slanderous abuse of everything and
everybody, not in accord with their
robbing of nation-but more parti-
cularly the persistent and cowardly
attacks upon defenseless woman.
What history will be written in
the future And all this vainglori-
Gus buncombe and devilishness is
soon to be knocked into the gutter,
by simple vote of the people. Two
to one, that the coercion club don't
vote at alias they would rather be
taken as in the sulks than be shown
to the world as not having the num-
Der of decent corporal's guard,
who are entitled to a vote. By "a
sudden inspiration, our thoughts
are arrested and forced to utter the
following from the MASTER:
For thine iniquities, | will smite
thee right and left, saith the Lord"
And he smote-somewhere in Nov
1893, which will be another glorious
holiday long remembered to the
Qualification of Uncle Sam. through
out the domains of kanakadom.
We feel satisfied that S. E. Bishop
and others of our Christian friends
will repent, and buy a number of
loud-speaking cannon, and be ready
to celebrate the next birthday of
our most gracious Queen Liliuoka-
lani. The Star man aud his dis
ciples-if here on that day-will
shout with vim, and be heard from

UNION SAILORS NOT WANTED.
Goodall, Perkins & Co. Will ShiI
Crews Where They Please.

CreWS Wnere Ihey fleaSe.
Goodall, Perkins g. Co. yesterday
notified the Sailors Union that they
had done with that organization for
good and all and in future will ship
their own crews on all coasting
steamers connected with the COM
pany. That such course would be
pursued was stated in yesterdays
Chronicle. The future action of the
company was carefully laid down by
Captain j. H. Bennett, the superin-
tendent of the company, whose
Office is on Broadway wharf.
Gin the past we have been getting
crews from the Sailors Union" said
the superintendent, "but this is en-
tirely done away with from to-day.
Some time ago we notified the union
that no overtime would be paid.
Now we go further and say that we
will ship whom we please and will
no more be dictated to by the union
as to wages, time or anything else.
There are two principal reasons
that led up to the change. The first
is that the Sailors Union has rule
that sailors must ship in rotation,
whether competent or not. The
second reason is that we want to
employ a number of union men who
have families and who, under the
rule, are forced to lay idle. Most of
these men have lately cut loose from
the union. There is no discriminate
against either union or non-union
men, but a desire to assert our in
dependence"
The withdrawing of the support
of this big shipping firm is sad
blow to the union. The members of
the organization are getting more
thoroughly demoralized every day.
The prospect is that the Sail ors'
Union of the Pacific will soon cease
to exists. +. Chronicle.
