NEW YORK MARKETS.


New York May The share ssecuia-
ton today Was characterized By degree
OF huoyancy which mas not been exhibited
since the recent upward movement went
into operation, and transactions reached
total which has ret been touched IN
many aaoEtns- The distribution OF bust
ness was very wide, and some % the low
priced and unusually inactive stocks were
dealt IN largely and made material gains.
The buying was mainly for the home ac-
count. but the foreign houses were q so
IN the market as heavy purchasers and
helped the market IN its upward march.
The shorts again continued the covering
move. especially II TIE grangers. with
Burlington as the leader. An advancing
tendency was manifested At the opening
Of the exchange. and while there were oe-
c7sional reactions due 70 taking OF profits.
the losses were merely fractional and were
quickly recovered. and q higher range OF
values was promptly established. There
was little furry IN Reading. which was
sold down is. but recovered x per cent
The sales were made by an interest which
has been opposing the reorganiza ton plan.
In the final dealings the market was at
its best and closed decidedly strong in
tone. The few losses made, compared
with yesterdays close, ranged between
u and ;. per cent, and are mainly con-
fined 10 the specialties.

The local market yesterday and the day
gas regarded by commission merchants
As very quiet one. Demands we're not
made for any OF the commodities, and
ssen straw berries. which were scarce, ow-
ing 70 the failure OF the Sacramento train
70 connect with the Portland train Mon
dsv evening, were not called for. The
failure OF the trains to connect gave the
barry market chance TO be cleaned up OF
tbe few which were left. most of which
we're not in the best Of condition. When
the berries are put on the market today
buyers can rest assured that they will be
fresh. as the present weather prevents
them from spelling while en- route from
California.
There Is small demand for a strictly
tsst-class Burbank potatoes and the de-
sand is increasing all the time. There Is
akearcity of this potato in the market at
ne present time, because very few are
shipped In. and the few that do arrive
are Immediately sold for eating and plant
INK purposes. The Burbank is ahead of
the Early Rose In this respect. for the
reason that II Is not so good an eating
vegetable. though excellent for early
planting.
The hay ana grain market ala not
change yesterday. There continues 20 he
scarcity OF feed grain in the market
sad the price may be advanced.

In Honor of Mr.. LangdOn.

The trustees of the Montpelier Gallery Of
Fine Arts, at a meeting September %,
adopted the following preamble and reso-
luton on the death of James r. Langdon,
the first president of the board:
1.-THE trustees OF this board, in common
with the entire community, were profoundly
grieved by the sudden death OF its presi-
dent, James r.. Langdon. Crowned with
many years of life, and, therefore, near its
close, yet his death was most unexpected.
A broad review OF Mr.. Langdon's life
work, from the standpoint of relationship to
his state, his home and his associates, en-
forces the conviction that, at his death,
there passed into local history a man who
strongly impressed himself upon his sur
roundings, and the influence of whose pru-
dent counsel and provision in great matters
became a large part Of the forward move
ments OF his time.
We now recall with pleasure his splendid
qualifications for q business career, so fully
demonstrated by his business success, his
sound ideas upon commercial probity and
conduct, and his consequent service, in the
early history of Montpelier, in shaping its
business tendencies and methods. We
know, with satisfaction, how much there is
due to his personal efforts for a developed
system Of transportation and resources in
his state, and recognize, with gratitude,
not only his ability and the results which
that ability, sustained by a courage of &C.
ton, achieved, but also the high estimate
which he placed upon the value Of educa'
ton and culture, Of which 80 lately he gave
expression by his cordial acceptance of the
presidency of this board.
eve, therefore, mourn with his family
in their great bereavement. We sympa'
thize with his business associates in theiI
incompatible loss. We deplore with ouI
fellow. citizens this last loss to Vermont Of
a distinguished and useful man. We also
profoundly regret the loss to this institution
and this board, after so brief a service Of
devotion to it's interests, of its president,
counselor and friend.
sit is Resolved That copies of this ex-
preston Of our sorrow and respect be sem
to the family of our late associate, and tC
the local papers, and that 1t be written upor
the records OF this board.
Resolved: To invite all the friends o.
the Thomas W. Wood Collection in the
Gallery Of Fine Arts to meet the trustees
there on Friday evening, 9th instant, from
eight to ten o clock, when a just-completec
portrait of our late president will be un
yelled"

Waterbury Items,

The Ladies' Aid Society will meet with
Mrs. Elisha Moody this afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Lewis occupied the pulpit at
the Methodist church last Sunday morning.
w. B. Gould Of Chicago, formerly Of this
town, is here on a visit, and is warmly
greeted by many old friends.
The frequent sale of building lots in the
village, at good prices, indicates a prosper
GUS growth. Many new dwellings are be-
ing erected, and the constant demand for
tenements should encourage capitalists to
build several for renting.
Mrs. II. s. Caswell, the secretary of the
woman's department of the National Con-
gregational Home Missionary Society, will
give an address at the Congregational
church, Friday afternoon, October II. Mrs
Caswell is one of the eminent women OF the
country, and a very able speaker.
Rev. J.. j. Lewis, in his lecture describing
the marvellous presentation of the Passion
Play by the humble peasants at Oberam-
mergau, is without a peer. The overflow
ing audience at the opera house, Sunday
night, who witnessed the stereoscopic pre-
sentation were pleased and benefited.
The member OF The committee appointed
by the Congregational society, last Friday,
to consider the advisability of building a
parsonage for their pastor, are greatly en-
| couraged. The interest seems general, and
all desire to share in the work. The COM
mittee is now soliciting funds, and hopes to
report favorably at the adjourned meeting
next Friday evening.
The inhabitants OF the elevated portions
of our village are greatly Inconvenience
by the failure OF their water supply. On
Mondays, when most is required, none can
be had. The necessity for an adequate sup
ply, and that speedily, should incite the
water. works committee to a careful prepar-
alton for the coming village meeting, that
will decide the matter.
In a prospectus of the Waterbury High
School, just published, is an earnest appeal
by the school directors TO parents Tor more
active cooperation in the support OF our
schools. which we trust will be needed.
The great evil is irregular attendance, and,
while much of it is unnecessary, the fact
remains that, with our ov~ercrowded and
unheaItbful school rooms, it is impossible
for pupils to make the progress desired.
The necessity for a new Union School build
ing is perfectly evident TO all, and action
sheuld be taken in the matter without more
DELAY.

candidate with only a distant hope Of
his election. The knavery and corrup-
tion of the democratic ring that has for
years m~isgoverned and robbed the state
had been exposed and broken, and
there was ground for the hope and be-
lief that it was possible to elect a repub-
lioan successor to an almost unbroken
linz of democratic incumbents. In Mr..
Griggs the people of New Jersey have
a leader worthy of their cause. ut is
a march to viz ory," said the leader in
his brief sped accepting the nomina-
ton That l%aratiOn has the right
ring. y
GERMANY is celebrating, with a fer
vor in which there seems to be a de-
cided martial method, her victories
over the French in the Franco-Pru
sian war of twenty-five years ago. Mr..
Depew, who was in Germany OF the
anniversary of the surrender at Sedan,
says the enthusiasm was wild and con-
tagious. There is, he says, a passion
ate desire for wal with France, on any
pretext, to settle forever the possession
of Alsace and Lorraine, and TO 30 Grip
Pile the French that they would no
longer be a menace to the peace Of
Germany, and that the military estab-
lishment of the latter country might be
reduced. MI. Depew's observations
find confirmation in the speeches made
at the celebrations and in the articles
published in the newspapers. Frances
powers of recuperation after the Ger
man military conquest in 1870, and the
merciless pecuniary indemnity exacted,
were a surprise to Germany. Bismarck
and Moltke believed that the French
military power had been crushed and
the country hopelessly impoverished
by the pecuniary exactions at home
and by the victors. But Germany will
not attack France till she can feel SURF
against a counter attack by Russia or
by England, or by both together. If
France is assailed with the intent to
cripple her, Germany may find a far
different France on her front from the
power she encountered in 1870. The
fate Germany proposes for her enemy
might-and ought to be-her own, in
such a contest.

James II. Langdon.

Few names in Vermont, among those
who a spent their energies entirely
among the less obtrusive scenes Of business
life, have become 30 widely known during
the last half century as that OF James r.
Langdon. His life had been prolonged far
beyond the scriptural limit. His mental
powers seemed to have retained all their
native vigor and acuteness. By careful at
tention to health, he had carried along with
him for more than fourscore years enough
OF physical strength and energy to supply q
vehicle for q mind that seemed to defy the
advance OF old age. People wondered at
his perennial activity. AT q period far be-
yond the time when men ordinarily prepare
to take their ease and abandon to younger
hands the cares and responsibilities Of bust
ness, he was actively participating in a wide
range Of commercial n financial enter
prises. While he was planning others for
