Sugar Started or Nsf fth a Jump-ChI-
 caso Gas Sh owed Fresh Signs of Li-
 auidatIons-HeavY Transportation
 Reported in the Grangers.
 NEW YORK, June 5.-Yesterday 8 activity in the railway list and the prominent part taken by London in bringing about this result led com mission houses to expect an increased business in this class of stocks, especially as congress seems dispo sed to deal more leniently with rail
 roads, at least so far as the making of rates is
 concerned. The opening of the market, however
 quickly put end to the idea that the deal in
 the In lustri ,s over, and that their place in
 current speculation had been usurped by the so-
 called standard stocks.
 Sugar, which closed at 1O315 started off 11s per
 cent higher, two thousand shares selling at 105.
 This was the keynote of the day, the Industrias jumping to the front, while the railway issues gave way to occupy a subsidiary position throughout. London turned seller of the stocks 1t bought yesterday. This proved a disappoint- ment to operators who had bought on the alleged change of front on the part of the foreigners and the sales by this contingent assisted in keep ing the prices down, notwithstanding the re- markable strength of Sugar.
 l After the opening Sugar sold up to 1051a, re-
 ceded to 1os5s to 1o61 fell to 1o4s4 advanced to 106zs and closed at 1o6s4 net gain of 314 pel cent. TOT the day. 1t ngureQ TOT llc,SUU SnSreS Chicago Gas, which was next figured for 25, ,7CC shares. The day ended without bringing forth any new reason for the advance in Sugar. Ii has been contended ever since the stock has sold in the neghborhood of 90 that the Sugar refining | interest would bs accorded ample production by | the senate. To-day a belated short interest | finally came to this conclusion and the covering ! for their account was the board room reason as signed for the great strength of the certificates Chicago Gas bowed fresh signs of Hquidations and sold down to "A at one time, closing at 74ss l Lead, Cordage, Whiskey and General Electric were all irmer, more particularly Electric. which | touched 3sA.
 Ia the Changers comparatively heavy transac | tions were reported in St. Paul, and Burlington l and Quincy within @ narrow radius. ORe firm | bought 5,000 shares of Burlington and Quincy said to be the last of big line of shorts put out 1 at higher figures. New York Central was weaker l than the other trunk lines but the dealings IF ! the stock were light. The market closed strong | for Sugar and about steady for the general list | Net changes outside of Sugar show declines of ! A 10 A per cent.

 HARTFORD, June 5.-Harry W.

An Aneedote Of macm.hon.

London Times Paris Correspondence of May
 16.]
 It Is seventeen years to-day since Mar shal MacMahon, then president of the re- public, wrote the celebrated letter in which he called on M. Jules Simon to resign the premiership. This was the starting point of that strange and almost humiliating pe- riod styled the sixteenth of May, which lasted six months, at the end of which time the Conservative party, which had been carrying on public affairs, was van autshed by universal suffrage and fell dead, so to speak, on the battlefield. If now revert to it after seventeen years silence 1t Is because M. Simon himself, in to days Figaro, has aa article of three columns upon the 18th of May. He was its chief | and moat signal victim, though the entire Monsrchist party may also be said to have been victims. What am about to say relates to din ner on May 6, 1877, at which were present, among others, M. Henri Germain, chair l man of the Credit Lyonrais, and M. Le- gouve, the Academioisn. I do not recol- lect the names of the other guests, fifteen l or sixteen in number, but mention these | two because they are still living, and can invoke their testimony. Here, then, is what passed. A cabinet council at the be- ginning of May was discussing the line to be taken by the government on an inter pellation by M. le Blond. N. Jules Simon and Marshal MacMahon held the same opinion, but the other ministers took ( contrary view.
 Thereupon M. Simon said, ''My dear col leagues, the president of the republic and I are of the same opinion on the attitud, which the government should take in re gard to M. le Blond's interpolation. have told you the reasons for my opinion which is also that of the president of tn republic. If you agree to follow mo VI shall have the president of the republi
 with us, which will materially help us t command majority in the chamber. If on the contrary, you persist in you
 view, do you know what will happen Marshal MacMshon, convinced that he can ! not govern with you, will form a resolu tion which cannot precisely state before
 hand, but its aim and result will be force us to go out of office, leaving th marshal, or rather those in whose name b acts, master of the battlefield. The maj ! sbal will then send for the Duo de Broglit , will intrust him with the premiership will attempt to govern with 8 Broglie cab
 net, and, encountering the opposition (
 the chamber, will obtain from the senat
 the right of dissolving 1t. Whersupon Q l will hold fresh elections, exercising tt , most violent pressure on the eonstituel
 cies. This would be calamity, and be lyou to spare our country from it." A Tor
 silence ensued. Everybody expected u ], marshal to protest against what M. Jul s Simon had said. He was visibly aeitste q but after few minutes, raising his he's
 and turning to M. Simon, he simply sail s "Parfaitement." This caused vsritsb n stupefaetion in the cabinet council. Fl n discussion was broken off and the mini
 ters separated.
