Dry Goods.

New York. January 13.-The increased activity among certain buyers is due principally to the fact that the latter have discovered that in many cases they are unable to secure the prompt ship rents they could desire, and are willing to take goods for delivery slightly fur ther ahead. The aggregate business how ever, Is still conservative as buyers seem to possess little confidence in prices.

STOCKS MOVING UPWARD FEEBLY Professionals VIII Not Go Far

NORTHERN SECURITIES UP

New York, January 13.-The feeble os- scillations to which the prioe movement h the stock market has now fallen was in an upward direction today. There were various nominal explanations for the new direction of the movement, but there was warrant for the belief that the real reason was the simple one that prices had moved downwards yesterday. In the present torpid state of the public interest in the market, the professional traders whose operations make up the dealings have no taste for following prices far in either direction. Hence the shortness of the vibrations. The open ing transaction showed more animation and yigor than for several days past, but most of the days total dealings were in- cluded in the first and last hour of the trading.
 A number of favorite stocks in the out side market maintained their recent pre- dominant interest today and their move ments were the determining influence upon those of number of stocks on the stock Tsf itself Northern securities and Hsf ugh rapid transit both shot up sfaa to new high records with corre- aaaaa effect on their allied stocks on ehs aaf k exchange.

Court Disa14proved.

Second Class Private William S. Berry,
Company f, ID Battalion of Engineets, sta
toned at Washington barracks, was re-
Gently tried by general court-mart al at that
post on the charge of having violated the
s.xtieth article of war. The court found
him guilty. but in view of his previous good
character and the length of time he had al
ready been confined under that charge he
was sentenced to be confined al hard labor
for three months only and to forfeit S15 per
month for the same period.
Gen. Grant, commanding the department
of the east disapproved the sentence as be-
ing entirely inadequate. and said:
THE court. having found the accused
guilty of embezZlement of property of the
United States. its duty was plain to award
a sentence commensurate with the offense,
leaving to the reviewing authority the ex-
ercise of such clemency as he might deem
proper. Private Berry will be restored to
duty.

TRACING MIssENT LETTERS.

from the time of its deposit in the mai
car to that of is final arrival in Wash
iugton. and the clerk responsible for the
error was located.
In the matter of registered letters il is q
simple thing 10 trace them. but where

only thing TO depend upon is the p0st-mark
it is entirely different This inquiry passed
through fourteen hands before beng lie urn

The original complaint went to the chief
clerk of the railway mail service stationed
at Baltimore, who forwarded memorau-
DUN to the postmaster at Frederick for In
forma ton as to how he got hold of the
letter addressed to Washington He replied
: to the chief clerk that the letter Was in a
package marked for the Frederick office
but that he did not know how it came TO
be sent there. The chief clerk at Balti-
more then sent an inquiry to the clerk in
charge of the train by which the letter was
dispatched to Frederick. asking how the
letter was disposed of on his train. 1t went
to him by way of the superintendent OF the
railway mail service, who indorstd it.:
Please continue investigation.
The clerk replied from Cumberland that
the letter was dispatched in New York and

I've have met to honor a man whose
name is known wherever the flag of re-
publicanism floats man born in one of
the interior towns of New Jersey and edu-
Gated at the common schools and whose
career furnishes conspicuous example to
all young men of the sterling value of a
public school education rs a foundation for
the best possibilities in public and private
station. Early in life he outgrew his sur
roundings and journeyed to Philadelphia to
further his ideas of development There he
embarked in journalism in an humble way,
but by strict attention to his duties.
coupled with his quick insight into the
wants of the public and the inmitab Re
manner in which he was able to portray IN
print what he saw and heard, he rapidly
arose in his chosen profession and WAS rec
oeniZed as an Indispensable member of the
staff of one of the great metropolitan dailies
or that city. W lille pursuing Is aVocation
as a journalist he became identified with
the Pennsylvania State League Of Republi-
can Clubs. where his conspicuous ability as
an organizer was quickly disccrned and
when led to his election to the presidency
of the league at a time when it was feared
through lack of interest in the club move
ment the project would end in failure
hut the lndomitable spirit of the man
arose 10 the occasion, and soon by his en-
erSeuc and unselfish labors he impaired
enthusiasm to the apathetic mass to such
degree that in few months after he was
elected to the presidency the lamp of en-
thusiasn was burning brightly in every
league club throughout the commonwealth
and the enthusiasm created by this ener-
getlc man was in large sense commuui-
