NEW YORK, May 21.-The share spec
ulstion on the stock exchange to- day
was quiet at the opening and the first
prices made were a shade lower than
the closing figures of yesterday. The
depression was largely due to the sells
ing for the foreign account and the
heaviness of Americans on the London
market. The trading, however, soon
became more animated and buying
movement was inaugursted. Higher
prices induced realizations which to-
gether with small trade brought about

was so because the firm was one of the

II was creditably known all over the world

suits of his bidding. These papers are the
great and impartial publications OF the
trade, and their praise or censure is OF
more than passing moment to merchants.
What Mr.. Lansburgh accomplished in the
interest Of his Washington customers may
be inferred from the single statement that of
the first $50 lots offered at the last sale
alone, he bid in PAT OF them. His pur-
chases included choice lots of Langtry
velvets, wash fabrics, woolen dress ma
terials, linens OF all kinds, laces, EN-
broideries, gloves, and everything pos
sible that comes under the lead of desirable
merchandise. They are particularly de-
sirabie in this case, for the firm of Jaffray
& Co. always enjoyed a reputation for the
superexcellence of their goods.
Mr.. Lansburgh tells some very interest
ing stories OF this great sale, some of the
incidents of which are. illustrated in this
article. 1t was one of the few events OF
the kind that ne had ever seen with q senti-

see so great commercial institution, with
so clean and honorable history, go under.
