Review OF Yesterdays Market.
The principal topic Of discussion yes
terday morning was the Presidents mes
sage to the chamber of commerce delega-
tion advising them not to go to Washing
ton to urge a veto of the Bland bill.
In stock exchange circles it was
at first thought that the Presidents
action indicated his intention to veto the
measure, but as the day advanced the
feeling became less pronounced and most
of the advices from Washington were dis
couraging in character. AS a consequence
the speculation was very feverish and un-
settled, the manipulation in sugar being
especially puzzling with fluctuations vary
ing within range OF per cent.
London prices came In firm and the
market opened about steady; the princi-
pal features of the early dealings being
the trading in Sugar ana the strength OF
the Vanderbilt shares. Later in the day
&. B. x @. became the chief feature
of interest, the stock crossing
81 on comparatively light transactions.
30 far as could be learned there was no
news in relation to the property and the
advance was generally attributed to the
covering of short interest OF long stand
ing. st. Paul sympathized with the move
ment in G. Is. Il. O., but Rock Island

last hour was in the direction OF realizing.

unimportant with gains for Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, ID. c. F. and Nor.
Pac. Pfd., and losses for Rock Island,
Sugar, and New York Central.

for up to Cleveland's election a man who
wore mustache couldn't get anything worth
having in politics. The Republicans set the
fashion Of nominating men with boards for
Office. Lincoln had a beard, and after that
every man the Republicans nominated had a
beard. Grant. Hayes. Garfield, Harrison, all
of them wore whiskers. and they got elected.
The Democrats put up Mcclellan and Han

beaten
Cleveland was the first to break the ice
when he was elected. Then along comes

THE SIREN OF THE SOUND.

Susccptib vOyagcrs Fooled by the Lay
Figure of a Bewitehing Maiden.
Smith. who has just returned from a fort
Long Island, n. Y, tells me an amusing story
concerning the way travellers on the sound
are made the victims of practical joke, says
the Boston Herald.
Everybody who has been aboard vessel
knows how prone people are TO wave their
handkerchiefs to those on shore or on another
boat. and how ready they are to answer a
similar friendly signal. 1t is merely token
OF good will or mild sort of filtration. in
duced by the pleasure OF fioati.g along care
free over the sparkling water.
Every evening when the great Sound steam

the East river iuttering bits of cambric are
seen here and there on the extensive and we'll

water or themselves bidding tor reply. The
occupants of fisherman's boat or solitary
spectator by the water side are not too insig-

inner shore OF Long Island, and season after

in which he could avoid the duty of courtesy
He had n iaunty female figure rugged up
and placed on the platform on the outer side
OF his boathouse. One OF the young woman's
arms was upliIted. and at the end was fas-

movement OF the water below was maize to
move the arm up and down. Now the tickle

her gestures daily, and my friend tips his
