WANTED, A SANITARIUM FOR THE OFFSPRING OF POVERIY—THE COUNTRY HOME AT BATH. It is the suggestion of many experienced workers in the Geld of charity and benevolence that a sanitariu! by the seaside or om the banks of the Hudson River for the feeble and sickly children of the poor who live m toe vast and uawholesome tenement houses of this city is urgently demanded, and that the outtlow of cbafity from Cbrstien hearts could hardly be better direotéd than én estav- lishing just such an institution. A correspondent, writing to this paper, holds that it would prove the means of relieving the summer diseases amé@ng chil- drep, as affording a temporary removal from the deadly air of tenement houses, from the confinement of dirty streets and yards, into the pure air and liberty of the seashore or country. In the damp basement and heated garret, in tho filthy yard and dusty streot, the approaching deadly heut will flod its victims among the infants of the poor. .

Seazer, Farwar, June 1-6 P, ‘ut Spurs to speculation this morning wero tho reverse of formidable, und scarcely excited a movement. be yond the jog-trot fluctuations of a one per cent man ket. These, such as they wore, were derived from the various ements put forth as to the position of the “fast train”? question and. the probabilities of a sinke by the cmployés of the Pennsylvania Ratlroud, To keep things lively, reports both pro and con followed each other in quick auccession—fast trains were to be taken off, and they were not to ve taken off; there ‘was to boa strike, and there was not to be astriko— so between this state of uffirmation and denial the market was driven up and down as though it were « ball and the brokers so many speculative polo players, Plausible stories to tho eflect that the reduction of 10 por cent of wages by tho Pennsylvania com- pany would be resisted by the persons io their employ’ drove down the price of the stock in the Philadelphia marxet to 28%, while Lake Shore and Central and Hudson were advauced in our own market to the extent of noarly one per cent under the impression that a suspension of trafic over M Scott’s line would correspondingly benefit the Vander. bilt roads, It would even do more; for, iu case of in terroption, a quietua would probably be givea, for the time being, to that exasperating ‘fast train”? which i trying tho souls of ratiroad managers, All these calcu- latious, however, came to naught lator ly the day, when it was understood tliat the Brotherhood of En- gincers, soltened, porbaps, by those fraternal princi. ples which distinguish the City of Brotherly Love, would undoubtedly accept the reduced pay and the situation, Hopes of a row being thus rendered slim, and there oveing nothing {n particular to bull them on, Central and Hudson and Lake Shore fell back severally irom 90% to 90 and from 49 to 48%; and closed at the latter tgures, Iitnols Central was again exceptionally weak, dropping off trom 54 to 5234, thas correcting the anomaly presented last night of the stock being-quoted nearly a point higher’ in London than in Now York, Speculation being diverted to the railroads, Western Union and Pacifco Muil were greatly neglocted, and consequently presented but feeble fluctuations, The coal shares were more active, working within fluctua tions of a single point and bare of any outside interest, Arather apocryphal story comes to the effect that Mr. Gowen has entirely succeeded in the financial matters which took him abroad, This is suppused to point to entire treedom of action on the part of the Roading company, an opposition to all combinations and a marketing of coal tor ready money to the oxtent of the production of the mines, The outlook 1s not a very cheerful one to the other coal carriers under any circumstances, and 1s likely to be rendered stil! more gloomy it this story of a practical opposition on tht part of the Reading company should prove to bea fact ‘THM BALES TO-DAY.
