The spirit of speculation was not very highly developed on the Stock Exchange, Saturday. Many of the leading operators were away from the street, the arbitrage houses were out of the market and the room traders were not disposed to do business. Most of the trading was done by shorts who desired to close out their outstanding contracts, and by small holders of long stocks who were anxious to take profits. Consequently there was no pressure to sell and the buying was feeble and spasmodic. Prices moved sluggishly and irregularly, with periods of absolute cessation of business. The opening quotations were generally a small fraction higher. Sugar showing the greatest improvement, recording an advance of per cent, and Immediately mo veil up Under realizing sales the entire advance was lost. In the final dealings speculation again became strong and the mirket closed in good tone. National Cordage stocks were stricken from the Stock Exchange list to-day, their place beim? taken by the United States Cordage securities. The changes on the week are unusually light, especially In the active list. In the list of advances are Alton & Terre Haute, 3: Cr'ted States Cordage. 2, and Tobacco, preferred. 2. The majority of the shares traded In show a decline, notably New York, New Haven & Hartford, Zi Union Pacific, 2.j; Minneapolis & St. Louis, preferred. 2i: Lake Shore and United States Leather, preferred, 2; Cotton Oil, common and preferred, I5; the grangers, U to 1. the latter in Burlington; General Electric, 1; Sugar, ; Sugar, preferred, l1;. Distilling is unchanged on the wek. Tiie bond market was firm during the day, but the dealings were light in volume and the changes trifling, except that Keokuk & Des Moines firsts and Alton & Terre Haute dividend bonds advanced 1 per cent. The reported break of 14 per cent, in St. Paul firsts, Soutnern Minnesota division, yesterday, was an error of the Stock Exchange reporter. The principal changes on the week are as follows: Declines Union pacific sinking fund eights, 2Vi: Union Pacific collateral trust fives and Union Pacific and Lincoln & Colorado firsts, each. 9; Atchison seconds. 2Ts: Kansas Pacific consols ani St. Loujs & San Francisco trust fives, each. 3 per cent.; Cleveland & Canton firsts. 5. and Louisville.

Trade Fair In Volume, but Prices Unsettled. While the trade of the week ending June 16 was by no means equal to that of corresponding -weeks in former years. It did not fall so far behind the corresponding week of 1S33 as have some months of the present year, owing to the fact that the depression of business had set in with a vengeance In June last year. That the trade now is less than then Is discouraging beyond measure. On the wholesale streets grocers are the only merchants who make favorable exhibits compared with last year, and these are selling only what people have to buy. Dry goods, millinery and hardware men feel the depression most. Commission men have had little occasion to complain. Poultry and egg packers are keeping well In line with former years. Sugars are unsettled, advancing daily In the East, and Indications are to an early advance in coffees. Canned goods are likely to be sold at higher figures in the near future. Warm weather has created a sharp demand for lemons, and they are higher. Old Irish potatoes are still over a dollar a bushel, but new potatoes are Jl a barrel lower than a week ago. Receipts of wool the last week have been large and prices weak. Prices on everything in the green vegetable line are easier on increasing receipts. On llgnt receipts fruits of all kinds bring good prices if of good quality. The week closed with an active grain market. Wheat went off lc as compared with Friday's quotations, while several grades of corn and of oats advanced lc.

WHEAT DECLINES 3-4C

RAINS AXD LOWEIl CABLES AFFECT THE CHICAGO MARKET. Corn Also Fell Oft a Trifle, bat Oats and Provisions Made Independent Gains. ...iJt: CHICAGO, June 16. Bearish news v?as largely In sympathy to-day, and July wheat closed with a loss of ;c. July corn closed 4c lower, but oats .and provisions acted Independently and finished higher. Opening trades In wheat were at Ho decline, and gradually sold down lc, rallied iSc, changed some and closed lower. The weakness was due mostly to the rains, lower cables and very limited exports. Offerings were quite liberal at the start. The supply was much greater than the demand, and the market ruled weak. There was selling of July and buying of September by the elevator Interest, and this liad a weakening tendency, especially for July. There was also an Impression that deliveries on July contracts might possibly be quite free, and added somo depression to the market and was looked on as a bearish factor. There was some unfavorable crop news, but It cut little figure. The market rallied some - toward the close. Influenced by stronger continental cables and covering by shorts. Corn was weak on rains and free selling. The range for the day was c Oats were unsettled within lUc range for July. An early break on the rains was followed by liberal buying, and the market closed steady. Provisions were firm on buying, presumably by shorts. The higher Liverpool market added to the strength.

.ot Fond of Luxuries, but Took the Plninevt Food. Major Handy, In New York Mall and Express. Horace Greeley stories being in order, jn view of the unveiling of his statue a day or two ago, I will tell one that I heard in New Orleans. The genial old philanthropist went there after the South had taken him to her heart in grateful recognition of his action in going on the Jeff Davis bail bond, and the people were anxious to chow him every attention in their power. A dinner seemed lo be the proper thing, and the markets of New Orleans, than which there are few better In the world, were ransacked to make the occasion as notable for Its viands as for the distinction of the guest and the diners. Judge Walker, the veteran editor of the Picayune, presided. He was a great gourmand, and, after the manner of gourmands, wished none of the fine points of the dinner to be lost to the guest for lack of commentary. "Mr. Greeley." said he. "those oysters are tha best that come to our market, and we think they vie with those of Norfolk. I observe that you are not eating them." "Well, no," replied Greeley, "the trouble Is I never could abide shell fish," and he passed. Then came some delicious green turtle soup, which Judge Walker explained was prepared from the finest fat turtle the Florida Keys could afford. "No doubt, no doubt." was the reply In Greeley's peculiar whine, "but cold-blooded I animal are ai abomination to me. The pompano, Imperial nsh that it is, and fresh from the trulf, was open to the same objection, despite Judge Walker's eulojy, and that. too. was passed. Greeley barely tasted the accompanying :-otatoes parisienne, and shook his beard ruefully at the Idea that anybody would impair his digestion by eating cucumbers. Shrimp Falad. another New Orleans delicacy, troved no more tempting. Shrimps. he raid, looked so much like worms that they always gave him the creeps. "Ah. here Is something that you will like a homelv dish In name," said Judge Walker, "but fit for the gods. It Is a Gallica ham." And then he went on to tell of how the hogs from which these hams were obtained were fed only on chestnuts, making the flesh luscious and delicious. "Perhaps so. very interesting, indeed," observed Greeley, "but do you now. Judge, there is so much talk of trichinae nowadays that I wouldn't dare taste a bit of pork." The Judge got up In despair. The only things In all of this array of dainties which had been provided which Mr. Greeley would eat were bread, potatoes ana cauliflower, and he feared that he might be overloading his stomach at that. But when it came to the speaking, although he had drank nothing but cold water, he spoke as one inspired and with a fervor, eloquence and tendernefM that nobody at the table could ever forget Self Pralae.

RUSSELL SAGE'S FORT

THE 3IIL.1.10NAIIIL: DEFIES I.WASIOJf BY FUTURE AORCItOSSES. Barred "Win dorrs and tt Lynx-Eyed Scrutineer Stare Every AVould-Ue Interviewer In the Face. New York Advertiser. Though it Is a generally accepted axiom that lightning does not strike more than once in the same place, Russell Sage, tho millionaire, is resolved to take no chances, and to treat musty old proverbs with the contempt that many of them deserve. He has fortified his office, has a man on the watch tower, so to speak, and although he has no cannon ready, to belch forth flame and death upon any Norcros3 who may come along demanding his millions or his life, he Is taking particular care that his place Is Impregnable, and that his person shall be inaccessible to cranks. Any one now wanting to see the millionaire must be solid in appearance and r o?se?s credentials. He. or she, must also submit to a - strict scrutiny by the man on the watch tower, who has nothing to do but examine the tape, reporting startling changes on the quotations tt carries and take the mental and physical measure of those coming to have speech of Itussell Sage. If the visitor has a wild look In his eye, If his hair is not of the orthodox short-, ness. If anyhting1 bulky Is observed in bl3 pocket, if, above all, he carries a satchel, then Mr. Sage Is busy, he will be busy all day ana to-morrow as well. Perhaps ne is out of town for a week. Mr. Sage's offices are In room No. S8 of No. 71 Broadway, on the second floor. His on the corridor side, and the caller can only obtain access to him by going through the clerk's offlce, which has a door opening into the private offlce. The clerk's oifice is open in the respect that the visitor may enter an outer apartment or waiting room, where he can make known his business through a very small window- to the scrutineer. The door leading from the outer apartment Is always bolted from the insi le. and the caller may wait as long as he pleases without attracting attention. He can sit down if he likes on a wooden settee, placed against the wall opposite the partition dividing him from the clerks; be may Inspect the big safe in the corner at his leisure, or he may. if he is artistically Inclined, take out his pencil and draw pictures on the wall or write scraps of doggerel, as evidently many have done. The partition dividing this waiting room from the clerk's office is of wood, but above the wood Is a strong wire screen that reaches to the ceiling. The partition Is perforated with three loopholes, ach less than a foot square, fortified bv small, perpendicular iron l irs. Hence. althDugh a mouse that wasn t ytry corpulent might be able to squeeze ItPU through those bars In an emergency, when pursued by no particularly ferocious black cat with flaming eyes, for instance, the cutest crank in existence could not succeed in throwing the smallest bomb known to anarchical science from the outer to the inner offlce. while as for the wire screen, the Interstices are not large enough to admit a bumble bee. The man who ent?rs the waiting room may put his nose to the bars of the loopholes and ask if Mr. Sage is in without receiving the slightest attention, unle ss the eagle-eyed scrutineer Is present. The clerks keep writing and figuring away and loo upon him with cold Indifference, if. indeed they look upon him at all. The scrutineer may be in Mr. Sage's office with quotations, or chasing an odd fly that has found his wayl" and is anxious to get out, agalru Wen he comes out if the caller shates the loophole bars the scrutineer responds, and is very polite. "What Is It. sirr he asks. "I would like to see Mr. bag. "Mr. Sage is engaged; what do ou want?" ... "It Is a private affair. "Humph." "Will he be long engaged T "Very long. Probably all day. "Will you kindly take him my card. "I cannot even do that. He is ery b"It is about elevated railroad stock." The scrutineer kandles the card, but he does not take it in. He promises -to take it In when the millionaire has more leisure, and meantime tells the visitor, if his appearance is satisfactory, to fit down and wait. The visitor naturally grows tired after long sitting on the hard bench, and seeks snme mode of exercising the mental faculties. He reads the name of its manufacturer on the big safe and wonders what It contains. He .counts the fina l Iron bars again and again and asks himself why they are there, and finally he turns to the once whitewashed walls and finds them very dirty. A dollar's worth of labor and whitewash would render those walls comparatively clean and beautiful, and he wonders why. Mr. Sage does not expend that sum. Surely it would not ruin him financially even in these hard times. Upon a closer Inspection of the walls be fancies he discovers the reason why they have not been whitewashed, for if they were many works of art, crude but picturesque, would be lost to the world. If not forever, at least for such a length of time as it would take for the coat of whitewash to wear off. and many words of deep wisdom as well. ti 4f Messenger boys have to wait sometimes for hours In the outer offlce until Mr. sage finds time to give them the necessary answer to the telegram they have brought him. Sometimes he forgets them altogether, and it occurs that the lads go to sleep without any of the clerks being 'aware of their presence. If they kre; awake they must be busy: the urchins have pencils, and the gray-white wall presents a field for their genius. An Indian with an atrocious grin and uplifted tomahawk Is about to knock "de stufiin . fo the artlft explains, out of another Indinn: Jim Corbett, with a fist five times the se of his head. Is giving Charley Mitchell his coup-de-grace, and there is a lady In black firing a gun at nothing. The reading matter is equally interesting. Thus "Give me at once seven billion dollars or L'll throw a bum at you." and. "Oh. you're no good, anyway." are as Instructive as they are fuggestlve. Reading matter which is not so delicately phrnsM. and which historians say the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum show is confined to ro time or clime, may also be seen on the walls, much to the disgust of the ladles who are obliged to wait in the ante-chamber of one of the world's great banker, and brokers and speculators. HE REMINDED IIEU. Ills "I Done It" Stories Had Nettled the Girl from Boston. Buffalo Express. Au uptown young man, who is fresh to a degree that surpasses endurance and who persists in talking all the time there is anybody In sight, went out for the evening one n!ght last week and met a girl from Boston. , Although the young man talks continually he occasionally uses some very bad grammar. One fault Is particularly glaring. He Invariably says. "I done it" for "I did it. and, as he is continually talking about himself, he makes this mistake many times in the course of an hour. He engaged the Boston girl in conversation ana told her some fairy tales about something or other that had happened to him. When he got through she expressed surprise that such a thing could happen, and asked him: "Did you really do all that?" "I done it," replied the yountf man, proudly. Then ne branched Into another romance. This was even more startling' than the first. The girl from Boston listened patiently, and, when he had finished, politely expressed her great astonishment. "Why," she said, "can it be possible that you did anything so wonderful?" . "Thax's what I done," replied the young man, chucking out his chest as he male the remark. The great success of his two stories . spurred him to other efforts and he recited another condensed dime novel for the benefit of the girl from Boston. When he had finished the girl said: "Oh. do you know, you remind me so strongly of Banquo's ghost?" "You mean the ghost in the Shakspeare olay?" Inquired the young man lu a hesitating sort of way. "Yes." "And why?" "Don't you remember that Macbeth said to him: Thou canst not say. I did it? " And until this day the young man does not know why everybody lauRhed. FOR SAL.I3.
