THE MARKETS.


New York May 1S The oull campaign
inaugurated yesterday on the stock eN-
change promised well during the early
part Of today, but before the close the
advantage gained earlier had all been lost
and prices as II rule were lower than last
night. At the opei.ing the bull conttn-
gent had to face a series OF declines for
Americans i'm London; but the early ad-
vance was continued with Vigor and con-
fdence, led by Peoples Gas and Rock
Island which gained about per cent
each. The Changers all showed stregnth
except Rock Island. The unsettled tone
Of Tobacco and the large volume of
transactions in it gave the first check 10
the advance. When very heavy ottei-
ings of Sugar were Joined to those of
Tobacco the bun campaign received an
cffectual check for the day and was not
renewed The weakness i'm Sugar and To-
baCCo became more pronounced as the
day progressed, the extreme decline in
both stocks reaching to within small
fraction Of points. This proved too
heavy a burden for the market to carry
and prices tell away in a very duh market
until near the close when there was some
animation on realizing. Total sales were
335 100 shares.

tered the grand audience hall at Pek-

guards broke through the line and
amied hard blow at Iii Hung Chang's
head with his fist.
Iii saw him i'm time and jumped to
one side, receiving the blow on the
shoulder. The man then attempted to
seize Ii by the throat and throw him.
but one of the guards drew his sword
and nearly hamstrung the man. and
he fell helpless and was seized and
bound. The former viceroy showed
| coolness and courage and proceeded
to his interviw.
