NEW YORK MARKETS.
Speculation Devoid of Feature and Trad
ing Sluggish.

speculation DeVO1Q OF eaDure anu
ing Sluggish.
NEW YORK, Feb 7.-All the Wall-street mar
kets were stagnant to-day. On the Stock Exchange
speculation absolutely devoid of feature. The
trading sluggish to degree and the fuctua-
tions in prices were extremely narrow. Less than
10000 shares were dealt in and the net result Of
the days transactions, except in three instances
shows merely fractional changes. Trade was in
the market to but small extent, and was on both
sides of the account. News from Washington was
anxiously looked for, but none came until late in
the day, when an Associated Press dispatch an
nounced the bond issue would be declared to-mor
row, or at latest Saturday, independent of the
action of the House of Representatives the
Springer bill.
This intelligence did not reach the street early
enough to have any effect the dealings, but the
temper of the market is such that nothing but
official statements likely to affect the Specua-
ton. Rumor and report were idle during the day
and there was nothing in the situation to quicken
the speculative pulse. The market opened in an
upward direction, the widest fluctuations in the
opening trade being a loss of rs in Norfolk and
Western and gain OF similar fraction in St. Paul
and Omaha. During the rest of the day prices
a trace of animation In the market and no settled
Tone the closing being dull and steady. Compared
with yesterday the final sales show about an equal
number of declines and advances, while several
stocks are unchanged on the day.
Notwithstanding the stagnation prevailing In the
share speculation fair number of transactions
were recorded in the bond market. The bulk of
| the sales however, brought lower prices The
| sales aggregated 1884, 900.

course, know all about that and also to
protect all others directly or indirectly con-

futile to attempt anything farther.

CHAPTER XXX.

Gone were the detectives. Gone was the
"Namovna" with her precious cargo Gone,
too. Miss Strong, the aunt; even the very
housemaids, the grooms, the coachmen, each
and all were gone and, now, Fairfax was
alone once more in the deserted house, and
