THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, June 21.-The result Of to-
days trading in the stock market
showed net gains in the majority of
standard shares. Perhaps the most
ominous circumstance of the days
market was the fact that the dealings
sank into condition of almost total
apathy with prices tending upwards.
Dizziness on a rise is the evidence that
prices have reached a stage where
dealers do not care to put money into
them as a speculation. The granger
group were strong on crop prospects.
The favorable showing of New York
Central for the quarter broadened the
demand for the Vanderbilts and prac-
tically all the members of the group
advanced and the whole market was
sympathetically affected. Sugar lost
4 on the day after rluctuating over a
fractional range quite erratically. Chi
cago Gas also recovered, practically all
of an early decline Of rs. The total
sales of stocks to-day were 17i,576
shares.

The corocer's jury emEanelled to look
into the case of Henry Deery, who was
found dead here one day last week in
on uncovered and unused privy vault,
finally completed its work Saturday
morning. The verdict was. in brief,
that the deceased came to his death
by blows inflicted with a blunt instru-
ment by some person unknown. Many
witnesses were sworn during the jury's
several sessions, but no evidence was
ELECTED that would warrant an arrest on
suspicion. The general belief seems to
be that the unfortunate man tumbled
into the vault himself and received the
injuries on his head by striking 1t
against a beam, which runs along at
the bottom of one end of the clubhouse,
or that before wandering into the place
that he had fallen and received the
abrasion.
