Deeds Passed by Which the City Sc.
 cures Additional Land.
 A deed was offered for record in the town clerks office by which the New Haven and Northampton Railroad company quit claims to the city of New Haven a certain amount of land on the east side of the old city mar ket and in turn the city, town and propretors of the common and un. divided lands releases any claim whicl they have possessed to a part of the land upon which are the foundations of the old railroad depot, The railroad company's title is cleared and the city is allowed between three and four feel on Union street at the corner of Chape and nearly six feet at the corner ot Wooster street. In addition the com. pany surrenders all right to the land upon which there is now projection in the center of the block.
 The railroad company surrendered tC the city all that 1t could do and still retain sufficient ground upon which tc extend their four tracking arrange ments.

Financlal.

yesterday Was One of the Most Eventful
 Days for a Long Period on the Stock Ex-
 change.
 quietly enough in Wall street, but be- lore the end of the session it proved to Xchange for a long time past. The market started off without any special
 ctivity, but weak in sympathy with ne lower prices from London an ad- gance in the posted rates of demand tcrling from SASS to $4.Ss1a, and talk of hipments of from two to three million ,ollars gold to Germany by the steam IFS sailing on Tuesday next.
 After a moderate decline the usual rally ensued but operators regarded it as significant that a prominent broker age concern with close Washington connections promptly supplied all bids The reason for this was made apparent later, when the news came from the capital that the senate committee on foreign relations had decided to report iavorably the Cameron resolution to recognize the independence of Cuba.
 It did not take long for the street to reach a. conclusion as to the importance of this action, and the dulless was al- most immediately supplemented by ac- tive and excited dealings at steadily declining prices
 Round amounts of stocks were offer ed for local account, and late orders to sell in considerable number were re- tay fro, 1o1 1f,bi Boston, Chicago and elsewhere.
 While the excitement did not ap- proach that of a year ago, when Presi- dent Cleveland's message on the Ven ezuelan question startled the street, yet it reached quite a high pitch, and se- were losses were sustained by the lead ing shares.
 The execution of stop orders acceler- ated the downward movement which was equal to 1s@6h per cent. Several attempts were made to rally the mar ket, but each recovery was met with a. flood of offerings, and the result was that at the close many stocks were at the lowest point of the day.
 The only marked rally was in Sugar, Reading, General Electric and Tennes- see Codl dilu Iiol, NhiSh SioSeu 1W112 per cent. above the lowest. The feeling in the final trading was one of uneasi- ness, operators fearing the effect of the foreign relations committees action upon the London and continental mar kets.
 The bond market was heavy. Total sales, S1, ,5S5000.
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Whitely, bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street New Haven:

creased only about per cent. compar- ed with last week. When entrusted with the corresponding period last year this weeks total shows a falling of g per cent, but an increase of per cent. as compared with the like week in 1S94, and of 13 per cent. with the like period in 1893. The largest bank clearings to- tai on record is that for the third week of December, 1S92-$1, 512, ,000, ,000-com- pared with this weeks total shows a falling off of nearly 30 per cent.
 There are 359 business failures report ed throughout the United States this week, twenty-two fewer than last week and twenty-six less than in the corre- |, spending week one year ago. Exports of wheat (1our included as wheat) from | both coasts of the United States this week amount to 3,524,826 bushels, as compared with 2,056,000 bushels in the corresponding week one year ago Ex- ports of Indian corn from both coasts continue heavy, aggregating 2,s14,150 bushels, as compared with 2,057, 900 bushels in the week year ago.
 Mild weather and bad roads have re- stricted trade in the province of Quebec and at Montreal, although colder
 
 weather for a time stimulated demand. The volume of Christmas trade is on an average with that of previouls years More activity is reported in both whole sale and retail lines at Toronto, partic- ularly in dry goods, groceries and hard ware, Better weather has helped busi- ness at Halifax, and more activity is reported even in wholesale lines. The Cape Breton mackerel fisheries are said to be a. complete failure, and destitu- tion exists among Newfoundland fish ermen in the northern and other re mote parts of that colony. Total bank clearings at Winnipeg. Toronto, Mon treal, Hamilton and Halifax amount to $22,S61000 this week, compared with $23, ,204 900 in the week one year ago. There are thirty-nine business failures reported from Canada this week, com pared with forty-two in the week a year ago. p

IN THE MARTS OF TRADE
WHOLESALE TRADE CONTINUES TO
 BE OF SMALL VOLUME.

Weather Has Interfered With Seasonable
 Business-Tendency of Prices is Still
 Downward-SIight Increase in Bank
 CIearings-Number of Failures Fewer
 New York, Dec. 1S.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Wholesale trade continues of smaller volume than expected, practically the only activity in wholesale lines being in groceries, candies, fruits and nuts The weather has interfered with sea sonable business, which at many cen- ters Is smaller than in preceding years in that large proportion of purchases are of a cheap grade of goods There is a decrease in demand at Atlanta and Seattle. but at Nashville, Sioux Falls. Savannah and Jacksonville jobbing lines announce an increase in demand. At almost all other points general trade remains quiet and unchanged, with re- tailers of holiday goods experiencing the only activity.
 The downward tendency of prices pointed out a fortnight ago is contin- ued. This includes quotations for hides which caused boot and shoe jobbers to restrict purchases, anticipating cuts in prices for shoes; steel rails, with drop of S3 a ton, owing to the dissolution of the pool; steel billets, with drop of S325 on the failure of the combination, and Bessemer pig iron, owing to the general tendency of iron and steel. Cotton, too. is lower on confidence in d larger crop then expected; print cloths. as product of that staple, and because of the large stock of the same; anthra- cite coal, Indian corn, oats and petro- leum Steady unchanged quotations are reported for pork, lard, coffee and sugar. Wheat and rosin are higher.
 Trade goods market is quiet for sea sonable fabrics, jobbers reporting only a small order trade. Woolen mills re- port a moderate quantity of orders. At the south trade line in price of raw cotton may affect country merchants who are still carrying that staple. An increased wheat acreage is reported from California.

Treasurer Fournets bond Is
likely to be acted on at once now
that it has been returned to the
finance committee. The purpose
of its consideration by the Senate
was to discover whether or not
the sureties were free holders, or
in other words to discover it the
bond was one absolutely safe. The
examination of the bond disclosed
the fact that it was as perfect as
it could well have been made, and
there is nothing now for the COM
mittee and the Senate to do but tC
approve the bond and let MIR
Fournet take his seat.
Treasurer Pickett is not fighting
any more. He is ready to retire
whenever Mr.. Fournet is ready t.

Those Fairy Stories.

1t is a peculiar belief among
the youngsters of many families

Now and then a boy takes the

A PARALLEL.

Il IlHI 10 Nio'Ns /
over the title of Murphy J. Foster
To the Office of Governor OF the
State of Louisiana, no honest man
denies, and it is to be regretted
that the cloud, which is a stain
and slur on the escutcheon OF
the Democratic party, has not
been eiraced and blotted out by a
manly and righteous investigation
of the almost general charge of
fraud against his election; for fair
play is the paramount feeling OF
the masses, and fairness and i'm
partiality are the ruling sentl-
ments of the human heart. A de-
cision based on technicalities is
never satisfactory to the innate
sentiment of justice in man.
A similar cloud hung over the
title of Mr.. Hayes to the Presi-
dency; he was made President by
the compilation of the Louisiana
vote, certified to by the then re-
turning board, just as MIR. Foster
was made Governor by adding up
the compilation of tho votes made
by the supervisors of election.
What is the difference between
the certificates of the compilation
of votes by one returning board
and the certificates of the compi-
lation of votes made by sixty sets
of supervisors of election2 The
only difference is in the names,
but it is all the same thing in
Dutch. Congress did not want TO
60 beyond what they were pleased
to call the returns, and Hayes was
declared and installed President
p of the Nation; the legislature of
Louisiana on a trivial technical
plea refused to 60 beyond the GER
tifcates of the compilation of the
votes returned by the supervisors
of elections, and to erdmine the
real returns of the elections made
by the commissioners, (Which
were in the Secretary Of State
Office and see if they were made
as required by the memorable Act
No ISL, pompously entitled "an
act to maintain the purity and
freedom of elections, etc." and to
count the votes from these verita-
BILE returns-and Murphy j. Eos
ter was declared and installed Go
vernon of Louisiana.
Like Hayes, during four years
lie viii ENJOY the emoluments be-
longing to John Pharr, and the
honors of the Office (if honors
there are in it under existing con-
ditions) and be the recipient of
the adulations of office-holders,
officeseekers, and camp-scoullions;
but like Hayes, at the expiration
of four years, he will seek a place
OF retirement, where, unnoticed,
unhonored, by the public gaze, he
will live in the hope that the COM
ing generation will forget that in
the year 1896 of our Lord he was
installed as Governor of the proud
and chivalrous state of Louisiana.
So mote it be.

What came near being a serious

What came near being serious
accident occurred at Pioneer quarry
last Friday, but it proved very
fortunately, to be not serious. A
series of blasts had been arranged
along a ledge, and had been fred
by electricity. One of the charges
of explosive failed to discharge
with the others. After waiting
till next day, the hole was filled
with water and couple of work.
men began drilling out the old
charge. They drilled down just
one blow of the drill too far, for
the last blow of the drill struck the
cap and exploded the charge.
Jack Phillips had hold of the drill
when the explosion came, and the
drill went skyward out Of Jacks
hands in a way that astonished him,
to say the least. His hands and
arms were somewhat strained and
bruised, and he and another work.

who was working just below the
Y ledge was completely covered witt
