Favorable Bank Statement—Business of the Rock Island Road. The Produce Markets Mostly Active and Weak—A General Decline ‘ in Breadstufis. Provisions Demoralized—A Big Business in Lard—Pork Dull—More Doing in , Meats for Export. FINANCIAL. Afeavy eaics to realize the profits of tho rise Were noticcable all the morning in the Stock Exchange. These had no other effect thun to make a temporary halt in the advance. In the néternoon, after the appearance of the favor- able bunk statement, buying was general, and at tho close nearly everything was better. than at the close of the preceding day. Chesapeake & Obio shows a large increase in the volume of transactions, and seems likely to become one of the mest active fancies. Coal stocks were quict, but. theic prospects are brilliant. ‘The Nock Island Road is declared to be doing abetter business in proportion to its expenses than any other in the country. The Oregon Improvement Company's stock was quoted at 107, and the Northern Pacific “syndicate,” a blind pool stock, was at a pre- mium of ‘The pools in Jersey Central and Wabash wero reported to be buying freely. Texas Pacific Was pointed as likely to go up, since the terms of the consolidation had all been agreed upon. A bad sign for the outsiders—all tho New rk Papers are bullish. St. Joe is practically cornered. New York dispatches contradict the report of an impending general strike of railroad em- ployés. Verbatim order of Judge G. M.Speir in the Western Union Telegraph case: “It is ordered that said injunction order heretofore granted on said 6th day of March, 18S1, be, and the sane is hereby, continued until the further order of this Court so far only as the same relates to the issuing or dividing among the stockholders or transfers or delivery of stock of the Western Union Telegraph Company, directly or indirect- ly, by any menos whatsoever, to the amount of $15,526,590, or_any certificates of stock, ceurtifi- cates of indebtedness for the same or any part thereof, or any dividend thereof on the same in auy way, shape, or manner.” ‘The Southern people form quite a new pur- chesing element in the stock market, and the in- quiries for Southern railrond bonds and shares are on a scale never known before, The following snows the range of the active stocks: x ‘High- est Chleazo S Al EW.

Provisions were heavy, with early activity, anda tame but steadiertone later. New York quoted lard demoralized. Oats wereheavy under the receipt of numerous selling orders. Corn declined shurply insympatby, but cash lots were relatively firm, except for the lower grades, which seemed not to. be wanted by ship- pers. Corn was reported “ fat" in Liverpool: and shippers say it is impossible to place wheat know that about nine-tenths of nil the wheat on passage has yet to be sold. Wheat was weak here early, but partly recovered later. fhere was a heavy calling of margins by the shorts, which helped tho weak- ness both in provisions and grain, a great deal of long stuff being sold. Mess pork closed 5c lower, at $1600 for June, and $16,00@16.u2% for July. Lard closed 424¢ lower, at $10.07G10.10 for June, and $10.10 for July. Short ribs closed Sii4¢ lower, at S7.024@ 7.95 for July. Wheat closed H@%e lower at $1.024@1.23 for June and $1.024@1.2% for July. Corn closed 3c lower, at 4033@10%e for June, and 414gc bid for July. Oats closed weak, at3ie for May, Soke for June, and Sie for July. Rye was steady at $1.13 for May, $1.10 nominally for June, and 77}¢e for August. Bar- ley was nominally $1.00 for No. 2 cash, %5e for No.3, and &@Sie for No.4. Hogs were active and bigher, at $3.03@6.00 for light, and at 35.000 6.25 forheuvy. Cattle were steady at $3.00@6. Foreign and domestic dry goods are still moving in a fairly tberal way, and tho tone of the market remains firm and healthy. On cer- tain lines of cottons prices are being shaded a Aittle, but there is less “cutting” than is usual atthe closeof a season. Clothing, boots and shoes, and milinery goods ruled quiet. There was a modest demand for stuple and fancy gro- ceries at unchanged prices. The recent advance in sugars {3 firmly sustained.” Coffees still show a lack of strength, though there is a feeling that yalues nre about as low as they are going. Teas are meeting with an increasing demand and are working firm. There was an unchanged market for dairy products. The demand both for butter and cheese is strictly in accordance with current needs, as stili lower prices are looked for. Creamery butter sold at 18@2e and fair to One dairy at 15@19c. The dricd-frult market. was destitute of important new features. Fish were quiet, with whitef'sh and trout quoted 15@25¢ per baif-barrel lower under increased offerings, Oils ruled steady and unchanged. Leather, bagging, and pig-jron were quoted as before. ‘The broom-corn trade continues steady at our published rates. Building materials of ali de- scriptions are active, bricks still ruling higher, the supply being inadequate to the demand. Jn hides, wool, grease, and tallow there are no changes to note, trade being fitful fn all theso articles. Hay was 2 trifle weaker, though most of the trading was done at ourquotations. Po- tatoes were weak and lower on all descrip- tious, early rose dropping to We for prime stock. In seeds, clover was dull and steady, timothy weak and lower, and flax dull and oping. ake fretehts on Saturday were still in active request, with tho same apparent scarcity exist~ ing asa several days previous. Rates ranged 3@5xe tor wheat to Ruffalo, the former price to load Monday. For corn to Buflalodc was the rate. Engagements were made for one steamer and two schooners to lod for Buffalo with wheat ané corn, and two propellers to Eric with corn, at through rate, with a total capacity of 33,000 bu wheat and 150,000 corn. Strawberries are now in season, and lard is wanted—to make short cake. Recently it has made short cake of the bulls. Acouple of cars of wheat, “bearded likea pard,” arrived here yesterday from Kansas, Simultancous with that came the report that a peculiar kindof grub bas appeared in that State, devouring every yreen thing within its reach. ‘Let the reporter thereof beware, The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy authorities have given informal notice that a charze of 2c Per 100 Ins extra will Ve imposed hereafter on all grain shipped from the country to ve sold bere ontrack. Thedesign is understood to be to force the grain into tho elevators, and the motive for this may be the wish to simplity the switching problem us much as possible pending the continuance of the strike. ‘The rule is con- sidered a decided grievance, all the same, and especially as uo notice of the same has been given long enough betoreband to obviate the necessity of telegraphing to country shippers.

HOW THEY MISSED TIE MASQUER- ADE. m Brooktyn Eagle. “Say, my dear,” said Mr. Spoopendyke, as he hurried in, hot and breathless, late from his business, “did you get ime a fancy dress for the masquerade to-night?” “It’s all ready,” reptied Mrs. Spoopendyke,. beaming. ‘You go as—let me see—1 go asa Spanish guitar girl; and you go as—as—it’s either Louis Fourteenth, or Oliver Cromwell, or Sir Robert Burns, D’ye forgotten which the man called it” “Ido, do 1?” said Mr. Spoopendyke, glar- ingaround. “I go as one of’em, dol? As they are all dead, and as I willdo for all three, p’raps you gota coffin, Show me the coflin. Fetei out the interconvertible cata- falque and help meon withit, Mas it got sleeves 2”? “Tt isn’t a coffin,” explained Mrs. Spoopen- dyke. “It isa doublet and—” “It's a doublet, is it? Well, that relieves me of one of ’em, J thougnt from the way you spoke, Mrs. Spoopendyke, it was a triplet. Is there a trousers with it? Gota shirt? TItold you to get me a bandit suit, didn’t 1? Fetch out this Cromwell business! Show me this man Burns! Any sword go with it??? Mrs. Spoopendyke brought forth a worn red_yeivet jacket, trimmed with tarnished braid, and“a pair of yellow velvet knee breeches, slashed up the side. This she sup- plemented with a felt hat, and a pair of jack boots armed with spurs. | “Maybe it is a bandit’s suit, after all,” she suggested. Which is the Louis Fourtcenth end of this thing ?”- demanded Mr. Spoopendyke. “Where does the Oliver Cromwell part be- gin? Show me the Burns clement on this schedule! If l’m going to get into this thing chronologically, must begin with the measly king and wind gif with the dod- gasted poet. Which is the king part?” and Mr. Spoovendyke shot out of his business suit and drew on the velvet trousers. “Where’s the rest of ’em?? he demanded, eying an expanse of unclothed limb. whole thing is only one Jeg. Where’s the pair for the other leg? Giye me some more trousers.” and Mr. Spoopendyke scowled about hit. “ Don’t the boots come up to meet them?” asked Mrs. Spoopendyke, in some trepida- tion, Mr, Spoopendyke pulled on the boots, but still there. was an exposed space of nearly. a foo) “Ts’pose this bare-legzed arrangement is the Burns part,” grinned Mr. Spoopendyke. “ He was a Highlander, and this much of me is Burns. Show me the Cromwell part now. 1s that hat it??-and Mr. Spoopendyke put on the hat and breathed hard. ‘Where's the rest of me? My head end legs are all right; bring out my back and stomach!” | Mrs. Spoopendyke handed him the jacket, and he plinged into it with a jerk. “That what you wanted!” he howled, “Couldn't you make more’n three epochs of m Didn't the man have but three histor- ical dates ? Pull that jacket down acouple of centuries, can’t ye? Dow’t you see the bot- tont of the dog-gasted thins is 200 years from ing the waistband of the Burns breech- ” and Mr. Spoopendyke tugged at the ab- ed coat and snorted with wrath. Maybe that was the way it was meant to go?” argued Mrs. Spoopendyke. “Isaw—” * You sawed otf the coat and pants! Now, s’pose you suv olf a rod of this hat and patch "em ouragain! When did Cromwell wear that hat?” What Kind of a bet_did he win thaton? Say, where’s the seatfold that goes with these incasly politicians? Feteh out the headsman !” and Mr, Spoopeudyke danced. ‘into the closet and outagain, “ Bring me some Charles L to, hide my legs! * Praise God from whom all blessings How, for man was made to mourn because his head was chopped off?” shrieked Mr, Spoopendyke, combining the historical ideas he represented in one grand yell. “Fetch me three suppers for one dod-gasted old idiot that trusted his wife to find a suit for him!? and Mr. Spoop- endyke thrust his arm to the shoulder through the Covenanter’s hat and split the cout of the lamented Louis from tail to col- Jar-pand. “Look out for some Scoteh ro- mance!" and he ripped off the pants and fired them into the grate. “Ilere comes another page in the annals of crime! and the boots went out the window. “And we~can't go—go to _ the—mas— masquerade at all!” sobbed Mrs. Spoopen- dy “Write an epitaph on the back of my neck, and Vl go as a tombstone,” yawped Mr. Spoopendyke. “Put three bells in my side und a torn stair-carpet at my back, and V1 goasa French flat! Discharge the hired girl and get up a cold dinner, and [ll goas.a boarding-house! But if vou think Pm going to any measly masquerade in bare legs like a baby, and e-backed like a circus, just to advertise hymn-buok, a gin-mill, and a broad-ax_ factory, you’re left, Mrs. Spoopen- ! You rome? You're left!’ and ‘drew on his nightshirt. “It's too awfully mean for anything,” mused “Mrs. Spoopendyke, as she laid away the Spanish guitar-girl’s costume, and warmed up her crimping-pins. - “I tried to get something that would suit him, and he ppear pleased with it. Another time Plt get him a sheet and a pair of socks, so he ean be a Roman Senator; and, if he is disap- pointed and tears’em up, it won't costso much.” With whieh profound reflection Mrs. Spoopendyke said her prayers, and, planting her cold feet in Mr. Spoopendyke’s stomach, sank gently to rest. LUNCHEON-PARTIES. ~ New York World. * As to another new social feature bor- rowed, like the theatre dinner-party, from London, the ‘ladies’ luncheon,” which has been greatly affected here of late, the follow- ing cynical remarks of a London contempo- rary may be found interesting, if not edify- ing: 2 “ 4 new terror is being gradually added to our social life. Luncheon-parties are be- coming an institution, What used to be a modest meal is expanding into an elaborate function, and one is expected to string one- self up to concert piteh five or six hours in advance of the time ordained by nature and hitherto sanctioned by custom. If things go on at this rate one will soon be asked to take one’s matutinal cup of tea at8 o’clock, be- fore a distinguished company habited in gorgeous dressing-gowns. Parties will .be organized for the public consumption of the nuontide egg beaten up in sherry. Society may as well make up its mind at once to live in an incessant state of table . Whole. Hospitality is in itself nota bad thing, but it may be carried too far. The luncheon-- party is at best an-inconvenient excresence upon or social organization, and if it is not pruned away its name will become as much a byword as the breakfast party. There are some people who, in all matters appertaining to hospitality, enjoy a special license. Gen- uemen yet linger among us who insist upon asking their friends to breakfast because they themselves used to assist at entertainments of a similar character riven by the late Mr. Samuel Rogers. In these cases the reverence due to the host is taken into consideration by the reluctant guest, and one only stipulates that the rite shall not be regarded as a prece- dent for imitation. An invitation to break- fast when itis nota survival from the his- toric past, or an automatic recurrence to a pestilent academic custom, isin ninety-nine eases out of a hundred animpertinence. An invitation to Inncheon is generally open to this construction, but is in reality only one degree “less objectionable. We speak of course, of the luncheon-party of ceremony— the set banguet as disinguished from the friendly meal, to which the .chance Visitor, who has the entrée of the house, may drop in with the certainty of finding a welcome. This sort of hospitality is, perhaps, of all others the most delightful. On the other hand, luncheon-parties, regarded as social. ceremonials, .are vicious com- promises between 5 o'clock. tea and So’clock dinner. The meal itself has been described as an insult to breakfast and an injury to dinner, That depends on the esteem in which breakfast is heid, and the rospective limits of. the appetite of the mer. Whatever the relation in whicl: luncheon stands to dinner or breakfast nothing is more certain than that a forma: invitation to luncheon is a thing which, save under very exceptional circumstances, most persons havea right to resent as an injury and an insult. “The entertainment is for the most park prompted by sheer vanity on the part of the entertainer. Itis painful to have to add that the entertainer is often a lady. Muecenas himself is pursuing his daily avocations at Westminster or in the city. Ue isa great merchant, or a Leviathan among speculators, or alawyer whose briefs are paid for by more than their weight in bank notes, or an elderly gentleman with a snug and remuner- ative Government appointment, which is more of a sinecure than even the wife of his. bosom is aware. But Mrs. Macenas is at home. ‘The day hangs heavily on her hands, Household affairs delight her but little. She has no children, or they are safely shipped out of the way. In such an existence as sho leads, the luncheon-party fills a definit void. She is without any real interests in life. She isa kindly creature, with just. enough of a taste for scandal to impart a_tlavor of piquancy to her character. She is made up of pure good humor and of sheer selfishness. She likes to see her friends around her, and she has.not the slightest scruple in demoral- izing all of them by a series of luncheon- parties.” MIGHT TAKE THE CROUP. : Cleveland Leader. Several months ago Mrs. La Rubble died, and since that time’La Rubble has been pay- ing attentions to old Miss Wheezer, a richold inaid of Cleveland. es Ido wish that you would bring your lit- tle girl to see me the next time you come,” requested Miss Wheezer the other night when La Rubble was taking his leave. “J will be rejoiced, but she is such a little TE that Lam afraid you will be tired of the visi “O nol’ answered Miss Wheezer, with asudden unbending of frame characteristic of a heave, “I can never grow tired of a visit which involves your own presence.” “Tnank you! Good night!” and after. gering one moment more to squeeze a prudish hand La Rubble left, and, as the young nov- elists say, strode down the street. Next evening La Rubble and _his.little girl ealled. Miss Wheezer pressed the child to her—well, say bosom—and covered the little upturned face with kisses, Releasing -her- self, the child ran to her father, and, leaving: him, went on a miscellaneous excursion around the room. iy 5 “How did you like ‘Endymion,’ Miss Wheezer?” _ “O splendid! And do you know the work should endear itself to ali women, in that it places our sex so high in political intluence.” “We had eggs and chicken for breakfast when my ma died,” exclaimed the little girl. “ Beaconsfield well knows the influence of woman,” said La Kubbe, sending 2 reproach- ful glance at his daughter. “I have been a close student—” “My pa took my ma’s clothes to a place” where there_is three great big gold balls, bigger than I could lift, and—” i “But do you think,’ remarked Miss Whevzer, that in vivid portrayal * Endymion” is quite equal to ‘ Vivian Grey? 2”? ‘There is the same outcropping of almost insatiate ambition, but—~” “One day,” began the child, ‘one day——” as Lwas saying the same ambitious out- cropping —” : “One day my—” “ Ambition that ever swells in-——” “One day my pa.come home——” “Hush, Lena,” said Ia Rubble with poorly counterfeited tenderness, “Hush, you aro not well. I don’t know what’s the matter with that child.” “Croup, probably,” suggested Miss Wheezer. “That ambition,” continued La Rubble, “which boils in the caldron of human nat- ure— “One day my pa came home so sick; and my ma shoved him overon the bed and pulled otf his boot; and my pa struck at my ma, and hit his hand on the bed-post, and said the awfulest-— “Come, dear, you are not well to-night. I should not have brought you.” “It was no doubt injudicious to bring her out into the nig air,” observed Miss Wheezer. La Rubble walked so fast going home that the child could not keep up with him, Next morning he received a note_which read very much as follows: “Dear Sir—You needn't eallany more. Tain not in very good health, and my friends think that if I expose myself I might take the croup.” A YOUNG LADY’S FOOT. San Francisco Chrontcle. A young lady took a car which brought her to the foot of California street, and there tooka seat on the dummy-ear, whieh bore her to the vicinity of her home on Octavia street. As she left the car and was crossing the track on the southern side her foot slipped and turned and was caught fast in the crack where the wire cable passes. Some impertection in the roadbed had caused the narrow aperture to expand, and the young girl’s narrow foot was entrapped. The en- gineer of the east-bound duminy saw the ob- stacle on. the road in season to check his swift-approaching car, and alighted. with tha conductor and several passengers of investi- gating mind, who endeavored to release the slender fvot, but their efforts were vain. Another car and another brought up- in funeral row, and constant rginforcements in the way of passing pedestrians cheered and enlivened the scene. An attempt wa made to pry the iron, rails form- ing the cable channel - further apart, but they firmly resisted all efforts. Every- body had a suggestion: ‘Push your foot forward ;”” “ Pull it back; “Tip it side- ways;” “Lift your heel higher.’ ‘The un- happy girl was almost -fainting, but she per- severed in her efforts to extricate the offend- ing member. By this time travel on the road had virtually ceased. The last car had long ago passed, and was steadily approach- ing to fall into line at_ the. rear end of the singular procession. Down-town passengers fretted and fumed or slowly climbed the bill in disgust. On every street corner groups of waiting people berated the laxity of street- ear management, Reporters from all the down-town dailies were proceeding west- rd to learn the meaning of the large crowd reported to_have assembled in the Western. From the scene of the accident envoys had been dispatched to the railroad shops to bring appliances for taking up a section of theroad. Atthis juncture a tall, brawny Englishinan, in the dress of a me- chanie, forced his way throngh the throng, and in @ cherry voice, markea by the Derby- shire dialect, asked: howe ye tried onfastenin’ the young leddy’s shoe? : ‘Ten buttons flew from'as many button- holes; in the twinkling of an eye the foot was free. .

I’mso sorry for you! I shall begin next week.” “Will you elean the whole house?” “Well, no. I did intend to all along, but yesterday I got word that my sister and her family were coming for a visit, I shall clean the’ parlor, sitting-room, dining-room, four bedrooms, kitchen, and two closets, and let the rest go until fall.
