CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
Wednesday, June lip. IT

Under the influence OF proht-taking sales the
stock market failed TO make any material al
vances toward higher prices to-day. Little or
no weakness developed. and at the close there
was substantial rally, which gave more net
gains than losses and the losses sustained were
only small fractions the only excep-
ton among the active shares being Consolidated
Gas which lost ] y per cent London quotations
old not follow the late advance here yesterday;
some selling for London account took place
which, however. not large and without
much effect upon the market. London was APP
parently frightened of by exaggerated reports
OF the reference to Cuba In the St Louis plat
form. In the Street this served 20 create con-
siderable satisfaction among certain element
which fa~vs low prices and throughout the day
this element started various political runors.
none of which. however. were sufficient 10
weaken the market. The break on Wednesday
last has been followed by advances. which have
been too tempting TO let pass by, and the sell
ing to-day was neither unexpected nor illogical
No one expects an uninterrupted advance. but
every one does expect a gradual upward move
ment. Confidence IL growing stronger every
day among investors at home and abroad. and
to-day. though there was less OF disposition to
buy stocks than yesterday, there was a good
demand for all classes OF good investment bonds.
The largest dealings in stocks We're in Sugar Re
nning, Burlington, St Paul and Louisville and
Nashville, all OF which closed higher. except the
last-named. which made fractional net loss.
Delaware and Hudson lost ] per cent. Else
where changes We're insignificant. small
amount Of gold was taken for export. chiefly on
account Of an old order Exchange rates do not
Justify gold exports.
Closing prices to-day of number Of active
stocks compare with yesterdays as follows:

EAITHFUI FRIENDS.

An interesting story comes from Flor
ida. which smacks of Damon and Py-
thias. J. =. Clark. a reporter Of the
Florida Timcs-Union. printed at Jack
s~cnyille, was arraigned before the court
and required to tell from what source he
gained certain information as to the ac-
ton Of the grand jury. lie declined to
tell, and was sent to jail for contempt
lie had not been in prison long. however.
before Mr.. Ben. Hopkins, n member OF
the grand Jury. told the court that he
was entirely to blame for the publica-
ton which had gotten the reporter into
trouble. lie said that he had given
the information. not thinking at the
time that he was doing anything wrong.
ond that he preferred 10 receive the CEN
sure OF the court rather than have his
friend. the reporter, to suffer. We are
proud TO know that a newspaper man
was the hero OF this pretty little story.
We reproduce . here because we would
show that the story OF Damon and Py-
thias IS not an impossibility. even IN
this prosaic and practical age, and, again,
because we would call attention to the
fact that while it is the business OF
the reporter to print tho news. he is the
last man in TIE world TO violate conf
dence. The public docs not seem 70 UNI
dcrstaud that a reporter has n silent
ear" and that the only safe way Of keep
ing a news item ont OF print is TO con-
nde It 20 the reporter. II you try 70
hid IT away from him. the chancos are
n%lnety-nine in n hundred that he Will
scoop" 81. II he receives it from YOU
I'm confidence. he viii give up HIS Job. or
go TO Jail before he Will betray YOU
The Hon. J. Taylor FTlyson, who has been
active in politics for many years and
who has had to do as much as any
man in the state. perhaps. with news
paper men. said some time ago. IN talk
ing on this subject, that he had never
in an his experience, had a newspaper
man to violate MS confidence. That IS a
high tribute. indeed. TO the profession.

unrcseryedly into the hands Of politicians
who may be INSCRIPTIONS or corrupt.
