NEW YORK. MARKETS.

NEW. YORK. n. ". May @l5.-There; was a
renewal Of yesterdays selling movement on the
Stock Exchange today: and the transactions were
greateri in volume. The foreign houses were heavy
sellers on arbitrage. prices Of the international
stocks being higher at the opening in this market
than in London. For perhaps the first time since
the speculative boom became pronounced the bears
were in the ascendant, and they hammered values
steadily all day, putting out lines in nearly every
section of the stock list The really pressing nfu-
ence OF the market was widespread belief that q
reaction was due after the recent remarkable and
long-continued advance in values. AS the day adj
vanced the figures were lowered, and most of the
stocks traded in closed at or near the lower prices
touched. Reading most prominent in the
sales. The stock broke 21s per cent, with a rally
of only 1s per cent. Union Pacific declined 9 per
cent.
The trading in bonds was largely confined to the
speculative shares, which were lower throughout.
Sales aggregated 50 $4,000. Government bonds
firm. State bonds quiet. Railroad bonds weak.

A RIVERS BURDEN.
IMMENSE TRACTS OF LAND TRANS.
PORTED BY THE MISSISSIPPI.

L%ongman's Magazine.
The Mississippi has, in the course Of
ages, transported from the mountains
and high land within it's drainage area
sufficient material to make 400, 600
square miles of new sand by filling up
an estuary which extended from its
original outfall to the Gulf Of Mexico
for a length OF 500 miles. The river is
still pouring solid matter into this
gulf, where it is spread out in a fan
like shape over a coast line Of $50
miles, and is filling up at the rate of
1852 900, 900 tons Il year, or six times as
much as was removed in constructing
the Manchester ship canal, and sufli-
cient to make a square mile Of new
land, allowing for its having to I'LL up
the gulf to a depth of eighty yards.
Some Of this soil has to be trans
ported more than 5000 miles, and if
the whole of it had to be carried N
boats at the lowest rate at which
heavy materials are carried on the in
land waters Of America, or, say, one
tenth of a penny per ton per mile over
