The stock market showed no change in its
Seneral characteristics to-day, but remained
ull and listless for the general list, while the
operations of the bear faction gave the market
at times an active appearauce. and cause ! some
fluctuations in the stocks which received the
most attention. The transactions of the day,
after these of the first hour, were generally de
void of interest, notwithstanding the generally
firm temper exhibited whenever the list was
not under pressure. The bears early renewed
this attack upon Grangers,but only Rock Island
yielded to anv marked extent, but they were
more successful with Louisville and Nashville,
and were aided by the renewed weakness of
Vanderbilts, which helped to get the general list
off, though the losses were in all cases for in
significant amounts, except in Rock Island and
Tennessee Coal, with New York Central. The
market after these movements had been ac
complished sank gradually into extreme dull
ness, while, with a firm temper in general, no
fluctuations could be noted for more than the
smallest fractions, and trading remained
utterly devoid of feature. Later in the day,
however, there was a sharp upward spurt in
North American and Northern Pacific preferred,
which was based on buying by insiders and
rumors that Vanderbi.ts had been purchasers of
North American, and were about concluding a
traffic agreement by which much freight would
be diverted from Union Pacific to Northern
Pacific. While the rumor lacked confirmation,
both Northern Pacific preferred and North
American rose about 1 per cent, each and the
entire list followed with alacrity, notwith
standing the announcement of a heavy banking
failure in London. Und*r the influence of this
rise the market clos:*d active and firm to strong,
i enerally at slight gains for the day. though
Manhattan, which had been offered down, was
2% per cent, lower, and the only advance of
not - was Northern Pacific preferred with 1
cent, ihe sales of list© 1 stocks were 259.0000
shares; unlisted. 8.000 shares.

Manchester, June B.—The Guardian's com
mercial article says: “Business Tuesday was of
a holiday character. The attendance of spin
ners and manufacturers was small Eastern
inquiry was limited, yet the sales probably ex
ceeded those customary on Whit-Tuesday. The
report that the monsoon burst at Bombay on
Monday encourages the hopes of an improved
demand. Prices were firm. China merchants
are doing little; the makers of favorite stapes
are inclined to harden. The demand for South
and Central America is steady. Yarns are firm.
There is rather more inquiry for bundled yarns
for export; the home markets are buying more
freely.’’

Nkw York, June B.—Hubbard, Price A Cos.
say of cotton: ‘’The Liverpool market opened
this morning after a holiday of three days.
During the time it seems in a measure to have
lost the vim that previously characterized it.
The net improvement, as compared with Fri
day’s closing prices, U only from l-64®2G4d in
futures. Although the above report was a dis
tinct disappointment to the bulls in our market,
the opening prices here were from s®B points
higher than la3t evening. The cause of the im
provement was a dispatch from a prominent
Atlanta authority which was published in this
morning s New York Times. This gentlema t,
in the interview credited to him, figures out the
probability of an American crop of not over
6,500,000 bales on the basis of the present indi
cations and conditions. This influence, how
ever, did not prove a permanently sustaining
one, and later in the day prices commenced to
decline, the weaker tendency by 1 o’clock
having become pronounced, aud developing a
decline of from B®lo points as compared with
last evening’s prices. During the af tendon the
market rallied sharply upon a report from
V\ ashington that the passage of the anil option
bill by the Senate was extremely improbable—
-2:45 o’clock. The Financial Chronicle sent t-o
the exchange an abstract of its acreage re
ports. The indicated decrease, according to its
figures, is only 11.88. As soon as this became
known the market broke sharply and decline
precipitated. The close was weak at 7 69c for
August, about 16 points below the highest for
the day, and 7®B points b?Iow last evening’s
figures.”

Chicago, June B.—Wheat was unsettled and
nervous to-da; and closed with a loss of most
of yesterday's gain. The opening was about, at
yesterday’s opening figures to a trifle higher,
due to rains and storms last night and to firmer
cables, but soon declined H4e on the report of
a heavy Dank failure in Paris. A rally of !Vs
followed on unfavorable foreign crop news,
which was said to have caused an advance at
Liverpool. Advices in this regard were con
flicting, however, some cables Reporting
the outlook more favorable in both Russia
and France. The result was a nervous market
the rest of the day, wit h the close showing a loss
of 15*c compared with that of yesterday. Trad
ing in corn was spasmodic jttid the feeling un
settled, with frequent changes in prices, the
weather and nervousness in wheat being the
controlling influences. At the opening longs
sold freely, and though the start was At a slig.it
advance, prices soon worked down I*4®
A rally of followed, but the gain was after
ward lost, and the close showed a loss of 1*
134 c. Oats followed wheat and corn and shows
a loss of s4®*4C. Provisions were largely influ
enced by grains and closed sqmewbat lower.

EXTINCT ALL AT ONCE.
They Lived One Inetant; the Next They
Were No More.
From the Youth's Companion.
Btudentc of natural history are much in
terested in the recent disoovery In New
Zealand of an extensive deposit of the re~
mains of the gigantic extinct birds called
moas.
The discovery was made in plowiug
through a slight depression in a field, where
a beg containing several springs had evi
dently once existed. Here, buried in de
posit of peat, at depths of three or four
feet, the skeletons of 800 or 900 moas were
found, packed and intertwined together in a
remarkable manner.
It was evident that these great birds,
which were much larger than the modern
ostrich, varying in bight from 10 to 14
feet, had perished there by wholesale.
An enormous quantity of smooth quartz
pebbles, which they had carried in their
crops, was found with the skeletons. There
were also found the remains of extinct
species of other large birds.
Various explanations have been suggested
to account for the destruction of such an
army of powerrul birds. One theory is that
they were overwhelmed by a great storm,
and that their remains were heaped to
gether by th£ combined action of wind and
water. What renders the question still
more puzzling is the fact that collections of
moas skeletons, mingled with those of other
giant birds, have been found in similar sit
uations elsewhere in New Zealand.
Students of geology are aware that evi
dence is sometimes found in the rocks of the
sudden detraction of great numbers of
anlmuls that formerly existed on the earth,
and the resemblance of such cases to this of
the New Zealand moas is interesting.
We are thus continually reminded of the
perils that have beset the inhabitants of the
globe, on every side, from the very begin
ning of its history.
