The stock market was more quiet and with
very little feature of importance in the general
list. Half a dozen stocks monopolized the deal
ings, and in the remainder fluctuations were
slight. The sentiment was moderately bullish,
however, throughout the day, alt hough the im
provement in prices was accomplished before
noon. Reading was the special feature, being
very active and strong. There was considerable
excitement in the stock, there being a rush to
buy at the oi’ening, and the price of the stock,
assessment paid, was rapidly marked up, and
most of the advantage was retained. Jersey
Central was also a prime favorite upon renewed
buying, but other coalers held their own.
Grangers were moderately active and firm, but
trunk lines were dull. Fort Worth and Denver
was again conspicuously weak, although ojie or
two or the sped allies were decidedly weak. The
opening was ulsiut steady, changes from last
evening being for slight fractions only. Prices
were strong from the opening, and material
advances were made over the entire list. Toward
noon it became dull. There was absolutely no
feature until the last hour, when there was a
renewal of the firm tone, and the close was quiet
and firm at about the best prices of tbe day.
Sales 210,000 shares. Final changes are very
irregular, but generally for insignificant frac
tions. The following are the dosing quotations:

Manchester, June I.—The Guardian says:
“Owing to the holidays but little business has
been done, and last week’s inactivity is still
prominent. The cloth section reports a small
business. There have been some offers for fair
quantities of India staples, mostly below tiie
lowest prices touched, and sellers generally
refused to entertain them. Yarns are in poor
demand. Spinners are offering their produc
tions freely at previous rates. The prospect of
organizing a short-time movement is not en
couraging.”

Green A Cos. s report on cotton futures says:
“It has been a poor day for the bulls, while the
foreign market responded somewhat to the tac
tics worked yesterday. Liverpool was on the
whole disappointing, and the effort on the part
of the clique to realize opened the door for a
general and indiscriminate selling, under which
there was an irregular break of 12@17 points,
with a large amount of long cotton liquidated
on stop orders. The close was about steady but
slow, and held mainly by the efforts of leading
bulls. The consumptvie demand is becoming
smaller."

Chicago, June I.—Deliveries of wheat on
board at the monthly deliver}* this morning
were very light, but all that went round finally
got lodged with the clique. Most of the de
liveries were made at the office, as none of
those who were short cared to have it known.
It was stated that the clique did not get within
a large amount due them. The amount of
wheat delivered to-day is about 3,000.000 bushels.
This puts about all of the cash wheat in the.
hands of tbe clique, as was expected. Wheat
trading opened, and the crowd in the pit, was
very nervous. Jtme opened at 90%c, and fluc
tuated widely at the fear of the shorts and the
whim of the clique. After the first excitement
of the opening, Jtme quieted down consider
ahly. It got up to 91%c, and was taken in hand
by the clique, who put enough property on the
market to send it back to 88%c. After the
clique let go of it. June went up around 89c, and
stayed there very steadily for the balance of
the morning. July wheat opened strong at
86%c. and in sympathy with June got up to 86%
@B7e in the first flurry, but finally lieoame more
quiet and sold down to 86%e. Around 86%e it
held steady for a long time, and closed at that
figure. June closed on the ufternoon board at
89%e. Cold, damp weather was as much a full
factor in corn as the dry weather of a week ago
was. July corn opened strong at 39%c, sold to
39%c, and was very active, holding uniformly
steady around 30%0, and closed at 39%0. Pro
visions also opened strong. July short ribs
started at $7 12%, and sold to *7 17% in the
first fifteen minutes. Ribs were more active
than for some time, and July sold up to *7 20
in the course ot The forenoon, and remained
there until the close I-aid was quiet, though
firm.

A Story of Raymond.
From the New York Theatre.
One day in Chicago the comedian chanced
to pass anew, huge and very pretention*
hardware store, and among tiie clerks no
ticed a very green looking youth, apparently
just from the prairie. Intent on fun at any
one’s expense save his own, Raymond en
tered the establishment, and taking the
youth aside, asked him in his dry, serious
way if he had for sale a copy of “Bunyan’s
Pilgrim's Progress.”
The astonished clerk gasped:
“‘Bunyan’s Pilgrim's Progress I’ I—a—
you’re sure you’re in the right store f" glam--
lug wildly at the hammers, saws and me
tallic implements around him.
‘'Yes,” says Raymond, “I was directed
here. 1 want the edition of ITO 4, with the
original plates by Hogarth.” /
“Why, this is a hardware store,” replied
the astounded youth.
“I don't care for the price,” remarked tho
comedian; “get me the book quickly.”
“I—l'll go and see the proprietor. I—l
hnrdly understand.”
With this the juvenile hardwareman hur
ries to the back office, and in a minute the
Eroprietor comes to Mr. Raymond and asks
ini what he wants.
“I want some No. ft augers; but your clerk
hardly seems to understand me,” innocently
savs John T. R.
“No. ti augers, certainlyreplies tho pro
prietor, and he shouts in a savage voice to
the clerk, modestly standing in the back
ground :
“Get what this gentleman wishes at once 1”
and goes back to his ledger, angry at being
interrupted for No. (5 augers.
11l a dazed way the youth approaches the
comedian.
“Well, why don’t you get that ‘Runyan’s
Pilgrim’s Progress?’"said Raymond;“didn’t
you hoar what your boss said?”
“Yes —but I—l think the bass must be
drunk. This isn’t a book store.”
“But your master says to get it. The edi
tion of 1704 —Hogarth** plates. I’m here for
that book, and I naan to have it?”
“TO—l’ll go and ask him again. Perhaps
he wants me to send out for the cursed
book,” gasps the clerk, and disapjsvirs once
more into the private office.
After a moment the proprietor comes out
and is about to speak, but Raymond sug-
gests:
“Isn’t he getting them yet? If you have
no No. 0 augers I’ll try another store.”
“We’ve all the No. H augers in the coun
try!” cries allthehardwareman, with Chica
go business modesty. “That boy must be
out of his head!”
“Yes, he does seem a little queer,” replies
Raymond.
“Curse him, he’s drunk!” says the proprie
tor, and he yells at the clerk: “If you
don't fill this gentleman’s order in thirty
sis'onds I’U discharge you!” and bolt* into
his private office.
The country clerk is now in appearance a
jibbering idiot, as the comedian mildly re
marks to him:
“You’d better do what your boss tells
you, sonny, and get me that ‘Bunyan’s Pil
grim’s Progress.’”
“This is the devil!” gasps the victim, the
perspiration standing on his forehead. “The
boss must be crazy. He can’t have heard
you—l’ll—”
“Here the proprietor pokes his head out
of the private office, and ejaculates, in a
voice of thunder:
“What are you gaping there for, you
drunken fool. Get that gentleman tho No.
6 augers he wants, or I’ll bore a hole in your
salary 1”
“No. fi augers! Why, you asked me for
‘Bunyau’s Pilgrim’s Progress.’ I’ll wipe the
floor up with you,” yells the clerk, turning
upon Raymond, but that genial comedian is
already upon the sidewalk and waving and
bowing a polite and hurried adieu from tho
other side of the large glass front door.
