ALEXANDER Local Fore NEW YORK hit and_Thursday st Official, MARKETS. Financial. NFW YORK, N. Y., Mas Stocks were in- tensely dull to-day except for Sugar. Total sales of stocks were 119,350 shares. Sugar ruled w until near the close, when it sudden!y spurted to 12234. The early weakness was due to shor: short seiling by local bears, who professed to be greatly disturbed by the further reduction of 14 in the price of refincd and the report of poor trade conditions. At the decline, however, one Broad- way concern which usually trades for the leading operators, purchased nearly 5000 shares of the stock and there started buving ror both accounts. The rapidity of the advance alarmed the shorts and on their efforts to cover they bid prices up on themselves. 1he railway list during the morning session was stezdy to firm, but subsequently the marl played weakness and then drified into duliness. London was a moderate seller of certain stock: but bought a few bond: Its operation had no influence on the market. ‘I'he enga of $500,000 g for shipment to Eu to- morrow aud the belief tha: further amounts will be forwarded Saturd: was offset by semi-ofticial sta ements that Mr. Morgan has piaced important blocks of ralw bonds in London. The market in the last balf hour of business showed a little more life, th arp rally in sugar having started up « better inquiry for the general list. Speculation closed sirons in toue, changes show- ing advances of 1@ /s per cent with Sugar leaa- ing. Bonds were quiet and firm. The sales footea up $927,000.

CHICAGO, Tir., May 19.—Shorts and bad crop reports from some winter wheat States, notably Ohio, Indiana and Michizan, gave wheat prices assistanca to-day. The firmness came after & rather easy operating, which was due to predic- tions of showers throughout the entire Western country. The bears are disposed to proceed with a certalp degree of caution, and on any unusual amount of crop damage stories take no chances, but cover without questioning the accuracy or veracity of the information. There seemed (o be these features this morning, and very litile buying was done. Receipts were moderate at 111 cars and 63,404 bushels were taken from store.

Mining Shares Affected by Unconfirmed Rumors. Rumors of new ore strikes in Hale & Norcross, Chollar and Gould & Curry ground on the Bruns- wick lode gave the mining stock market another stimulus yesterday morning, but the improvemegt in prices was not very sharp, as the rumors were not confirmed. Gould & Curry showed most im- provemeat, seliing up to $2 25 on the noon in- formal session: Hale & Norcross touching $2 50 and Chollar $3. On the afternoon call the feeling was weaker and the leading stocks dropped back under de- creased trading. The close was siill lower. The official report from the Occidental Consoli- dated mine for the past week s as follows: 550 level—The east crosscut from this lavel has been advasced during the week 28 feet. 650 level— West crosscut 2, which was started 20 ffeet south of the winze station, is now 256 feet, and the formation is sheily porphyry: extended during the week 40 feet. 750 level—The south drift tollow- ing the footwall is aow in 3% feet; advanced dur- ing the week 17 feet; face in quariz and porphyry assaying $10 per ton In gold. The north drift foi- lowing the banging wall of the streak has been ad- | vanced 20 feet: total length 41 feet: face in good ore. ‘The east crosscut from the south drift above mentioned was extended during the week 8 fect in The east crosscut from the north drift was advanced 6 feet and stopped, having got through the ledge. The Virginia Chronicle says: “Farly Monday morning Superintendent Kervin visited the Bruns- wick lode and gave orders to begin the work of cutting out a station on the 300 level of incline 1. Adrift will be runffrom the stationto tap the ledge of ore recently discovered on the 200 This drift will be staried 1t is believed as 5000 &8 the station is completed. | that the ore found above will extend down to the 300 level. No work will be done for the present {n ihe face of the south drift, on the 200 level, where the strike was made. Crosscutting from the Gould & Curry tunnel on_the Brunswick lode will be be- £un at once also. The situation on the Brunswick continues very hopeful. It was reported to-day that an improvement had occurred in Hale & Nor- ©ross. but it was not verified.”” The Central Eurcka Mining Company of Ama- dor County has levied an_assessment of 3 cents per share, delinquent June 22. The Savage official report. received yesterday, states thal seventy carioads of Ore, ‘averaging #64 31 per ton, were hoisted from the new develop- ment on the 850 leval of the old ‘mine during the week.

Shakespeare a Mason. Dr. Orville W. Owen of Detroit has sent out a Jittle book addressed to the Masonic fraternity, in which he says: “In deciph- ering the Shakespearian plays (1623 folio edition) and other works of Bacon, for the vreparation of ‘Sir Francis Bacon’s Cipher, Story,” I have found unmistakable evi- dence that the author of them was not only a Mason of high degree, but that he placed 1n the plays a large portion of the Masonic ritual. Believing this to be of the greatest interest and importance to the brotherhood the following parts of the plays, with the places from which they come, are now given to the order. Under- standing fully the obligations under which I rest as a Mason (of the seventh degree), I have taken pains to hide the work that none but the brethren will understand. Francis Bacon, the author of the plays, ‘was a Master Mason, and claims to have | been grand master of the Orient and a Rosierucian knight, and hidden within his works are directions by which it is not difficult to travel into Illyria.” —_———— The Brilliant Idiot. It was on the 5 o’clock accommodation on the Boston and Maine. - He was a green brakeman—greener than grass at this time of year—and it was his first run over the road. At Somerville he woke old Spette- grew out of his every-afternoon nap by announcing “Chelsea!”” and a little later, when they stopped at East Everett, he paralyzed old lady Pettijohn by procluim. ing *‘Prides Crossing!” But the climax was reached when the train arrived in Lynn. ‘When the veteran brake-twister on the front platform threw open the door witha bang, and, with a familiarity born of years of experience, rattled off, “Lynn! Lynn! Change cars for East Lynn, Swampscott, Phillips Beacn, Beach Bluff, ifton, Devereaux and Marblehead! Lynn! Lynn!" the brilliant idiot on the rear plat- form poked his heaa in the other door and shouted, “‘Same here!”—From the “Edi- tor’s Urawer’’ of Harper’s Magazine. ———————— THE CALL CALENDAR.
