Dullness at the Stock Exchange continues to increase. Dealings in the general li t were utterly devoid of feature, and the news of the day was received with complete indifference. There was another failure in tne leather trade in Boston, and the bears endeavored to make some capital out of it, but the effect was of little consequence. There was a reduction ia coal rates by the Nebraska board of transporta tion, but east hound grain rates were restored on : he trunk lines, according to agreement, and the difficulty between Canada Southern and Canadian Pacific was compromised. C . C., C. and St. Louis stocks became the gret feature and common rose over 2 per cent., touching il)4e. Canadian Pacific advanced on a com promise with Canadian Pacific, and Southern Cotton Oil rose I>4 per cent.

L—Tne undertone of wheat was strong and buoyant to day, and although the bears made a stubborn fight over every inch of ground.the market averaged and closed somewhat over the best prices of yesterday. The strongest feature of the market was the non-delivery of any wheat this morning, anil the fact that what went around yesterday after the close of ’change 1 mded with a prominent operator who was supposed to be manipulating July. The reported decrease fer July in Liver pool stocks <tf wheat also had a stimulating . ffect. The movement of grain showed an in crease to-day. Late cables reported spot wheat at Liverpool quiet. Foreign bouses were mod erate seders of wheat here. Prices, though fluctuating narrowly, closed small fractions higher than yesterday for leading futures. Corn was fair y active early and higher. The better feeling was due largely to the active de 1 utnd for cash, which is selling about 54c pre mium over August. Deliveries on August were next to nothing. Operators that usually trade in wheat were giving corn more attention, and a good many were noticed in the pit to-day, anti their purchases had considerable to do with the early activity. The market opened a shade better, was firm and advanced skc, eased off some, ruled firm and closed bicher than yesterday. Oats were fairly active but weaker. Mess pork was moderately active; ojiening 75n ®loc higher, a reduction of 10®125$C was quickly submitted to. Toward the close prices rallied 15®175£c and closed steady. Lard was firmer and sales were made at s@?s£c advance, which was moderately well supported. Short ribs w re fairly active and tue market was stron er. Early iu the day sales were made at s®Tikc advance, but partially receded about the middle of the session; towards the close rallied again and closed steady.

THE BEAUTIFUL TARPON. A Flah With Scales Like Silver. In his article in the August Scribner on “Tarpon Fishing iu Florida,” Robert Grant says: The tarpon is a fish, known to natural ists as megalops thrissoides, ranging from fifty to 200 pounds in weight and from 4 1 , to over G feet in length; not unlike a cross between a huge herring, to which family it belongs, aud a huge blue-fish in its general proportions, with large protuberant eyes and an ugly mouth that opens on the fish’s nose, so to speak, covered on either side with a hard bony semi-circular flup that gives the eff.ct of a jowl. Behind and con tiguous to the dorsal fin is a sort of bony bayonet called the “feather," some Bor 9 inches long, that protrudes into the air in the direction of tho tail forming an acute angle with the line of tho back. The body is covered with brilliant argentine scales which give the fish the effect of having beau laved iu silver, and which have won for it tho title of the “Silver King." These scales, which are circular ami slightly scolloped on the part of the edge that is overlapped, vary from 1 inch to 2J6 inches in diameter. The silvery epidermis covers only the exposed portion, which is about one-fourth of the circumference. The re maining surface is a slightly yellowish white not dissimilar in line to mo’her-of pearl, though without its iride cence, tran slucent but not transparent, and shiny on the inner side. They are hard, thin, aud of shell-like fiber. After being removed from the fish and dried, they curl up so as to remind one of a Saratoga chip, but will, if moistened and compressed, regain at least for a short time their former shape. 'The extreme brilliancy of the silvery portion becomes tarnished by degrees, inclining either to yellow or black, but the perma nent color is still beautiful and astonishing. The back of tho fish is black, and the silvery effect gradually begins at a line well abjve the eye. Some anglers have seen fit to per petuate their trinmphs by having speci mens of these monsters mounted on a panel. They form magnificent tro phies for the hall or dining room of a large house; and when gazing atn hundred-pound tarpon, which is certainly rather below than abovo the average weight of the fish, one finds difficulty in believing that it lias been captured with rod and reel. Tarpon fishing is, in my opinion, the most mag ilicent fishing sport in tie world. I understand that veterans at it now refuse to take up tho anchor after hooking a fish, preferring to part company rather than not to bring him up to the boat by force of rod and reel only. As compared with salmon fishing, the vast difference in the sizo of the to fish is a vital factor on the side of the Silver King. Anglers with but slight experience have at Fast au even chance of saving a salmon, but what ac complished fisherman expects to land more than one tarpon in three* If a salmon were equal to a tarpon in we ght, and still retained proportionately its activity, it might be a more formidable antagonist; but forty-pound salmon are rare, whereas 120 pounds is not much more than the aver age weight of a tarpon—which shows the futility of such an argument. The manner of fighting is practically the same as re gards running and leaping; the tarpon and >es not sulk as the salmon is so fond of doing, nor, so far as my extiei ieuco goes, dees he double on the angler, which of course is au interesting trait in the saimo j. Nor, in deed, are the surroundings of a tarpon fls i ermantobe compared with the beau'iful scenery and picturesque life on a t’anadi n salmon river. Bait is a dirty substitute for the trig fly, and the monotony of listless waiting pa;ls on one accustomed to re peated casting. But all the same, anyone Avho has hooked and landed a tarpon can well afford to smile at the enthusiasm of any other fisherman in creation. Try it for yourself and see. Weddings.
