NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, \. y, April 17-There was no in
dication at the opening on the Stock Exchange of
strength and buoyancy which were subsequently
infused into the speculation. While the initial
dealings were active the tone of the market was
heavy which was partly due TO the unsettled char
acter of the trading in American securities on the
London Exchange and 10 the selling here for the
foreign account. General Electric was notably
weak on sales induced by the action Of the direc-
tors yesterday in discharging the conference com
Inittee with the Westinghouse Company, thus
abandoning the negotiations looking 10 a business
completion. The shares broke ia per cent, but
quickly rallied fraction and during the afternoon
made further recovery, reaching Us above the

nand OF a full grown man, here IS a
package worth about cents It contains
two or three lamp wiczs and was order
ed some time ago for one Of the Indian
schools. Besides the correspondence re-
| lating to the order, invoices in duplicate,
| triplicate and multiplicate have been
necessary. After delivery there will be
! receipts without end. The clerical work
alone rendered necessary in order to
supply the school with these wicks has
been many times as costly as the wicks
themselves, and it would be money in
Uncle Sans pocket If some one had
gone out from the school and recklessly
bought the wicks for cash. However, it
is no doubt true, as claimed, that it will
not do to begin buying supplies In that
way, no matter how small the order, as
it would make a precedent that might
lead to no end of jobbery. AS it is now,
all the goods bought for the Indians
must be passed upon by inspectors be-
fore delivery, and in this way some sort
Of check is kept upon contractors. 1t
would be a pleasant thing to say that all
contractors for goods wanted by the In

many powwows with many tribes, the
agreements between which and the gov
