IRREGULAR
At Close Yesterday, But There Was
General Recovery of Prices
at the Same Time.

New York, April 15.-There was
quite obvions distribution of stocks
going on today and selling TO realize
profits kept the tone of the market
unsettled and irregular and made
considerable nroads on prices in the
general list. The selling was con
Quoted with caution and skill with
a view to carse as little effect on
prices as possible and gave evidence
in that respect of the management of
a speculative campaign.
The bear contingent made some
efforts to push decline in prices and
take the market away from the sell
ers. The bear party seemed to be
timid about extending their position
owing to the impression of opwer
and capacity of the conductors of the
campaign. and the fear that the let,
ting down of prices was a vancouver
to induce the bears to commit them
selves with a purpose of forcing the
short to cover at higher prices later.
A sustaining force in the market
was Southern railway stocks. These
sprang into activity much in excess
of the recent custom and rose quite
PROFANITY in the concentrated oper-
atoms coming from few houses.
The protested reason for the move.
ment was the report that the com
pany had sold an additional $4,000 :

Of these bonds, AMI that the Offering
prices of the bonds 1as TO begin the
advance at the same time.
The rise in National Lead was due
to the report that the directors had
it in contemplation to retire the pre-
ferred stock. The adjournment of the
directors with the announcement
that no such action had been taken
left the strength of the stock unim-
paired.
A reduction in the prices of some
grades of copper was made at the
New York Metal exchange. but cop
per stocks Jared no worse than the
general list. Reports were current
of some large orders being placed for
structural steel and an aggregate Of
small orders which give promise of
raising the April total to a record.
On the other hand, the rumor that a
cut was impending in the price of
steel rails was OF contrary effect on.
the tone of the steel industrials.
The crop promise is canvassed
with growing attention and with in
creasing anxiety, aud the backward
ness of the development of the winter
wheat crop, on which the hope for
Improvement. in its condition depends
adds to this feeling. Some increased
frmness is reported in the money
market. but the 21a per cent rate of
yest erday for cali loans was not re
peated today. There was a general
recovery in the prices in the latter
part of the LAY. but the closing was
Irregular again.

DEATH OF AN IDEAL CITIZEN.


 Bradley Perry, a highly respected farmer and with one exception the oldest resilient in Greenfield Hill, passed away quite suddenly at his home on Merwin Lane about 4 o'clock Saturday morning. For several weeks he has snown a grad ual decline but has moved about the place, read the papers ana taken an active enterest in every thing going on about him. On Friday, the day before his death, he ate his dinner with the family as usual and showed no signs of his rapidly approaching dissolution. His death, while not entirely unexpected, was a severe shock to his friends. MT Perry was man of very quiet and retiring disposition. In his early manhood he
 taught the district school, in those days when discipline was mere se- were andrtext books fewer than they are now. After his marriage he de- voted himself to the occupation of farming and took great pride at that period of life when most men retire from active duty, in cultivat- ing and watching the development of crops He possessed not little mechanical genius and frequently gave evidence of his skill. Kind and obliging always as a neighbor, and thoroughly honest in all his deal ings he commanded the respect and esteem of every one who knew h Iii
 The funeral was held from his late home on Tuesday afternoon at 1.3O o'clock, Rev Edgar\H. Olmstead of the Congregational church conduct ing the service.
