NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, May 23.-Although the
volume Of business in stocks to-day
was only moderate the market dis
played considerable strength. No as
sistance in shaping the course OF
prices was received from London owing
to the close observance of the Whit
suntide holidays. Monday will also be
a holiday at that centre. While the
usual covering movement incidental to
Saturday accounted chiefly for the
firmness OF the tone, Tobacco rose a
small fraction early, but in the closing
dealings was raided by the bears and
dropped ia per cent to 66A. Realiza-
ton of profits was partly responsible
for the decline.
The closing was irregular at general
fractional improvements Railway
bonds were dull to-day with no note

AhTith bet er understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, whic vanish before proper eff
iforts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly direct ID There is comfort in
the knowledg9, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but sim ply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxatiye, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputabl druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction,

HUBBARD BROS. & co.'s LETTER.
New York, May 23.-(Special.) I'm
der liquidation by the longs, the mar
ket again declined in the summer
positions, Notwithstanding the better
foreign advices than anticipated, but
it was noticeable that the buyers were
the largest houses in the trade. 1t
is understood that some 10000 bales
of cotton is pointed this way from the
South. 1t does not amount to this
quantity and our stock will be greatly
defeated as a result of this shipment
ana the small demand from Spnnefs.
At the lowest point the market has de-
clined nearly 40 points from the high
est touched lin the recent advance, but
the situation in the summer positions
locks stronger to-day than at any pc
Rod. We anticipate a further improve
ment i'm the summer months before
the end of the season, based on the
strength of the local position and the
reduction i'm the visible supply of
American cotton The crop deliver
les were favorably affected by the
strength of Liverpool which was cover
ing before the Whitsentide holidays,
and orders from the continent prevent
ed any weakness on the good crop re-
ports. August closed 1856; last year
