A review of last week's stock market is oonllnsd to
tbe sltgle bat very important (act that an entire re?
versal In tbs course or speculation bas occurred, with
the establishment ol a lower scale ol prices right
through the list. Tbe frsctlousness exhibited by Lake
Shore early in tbe week was regardod as a display ol
Jibbing propensities natural to a stock which, having
been overridden under the whip and spur ol specula?
tion, declined to advance another step. It was hardly
expected, bowever, that tbe favorite after refusing
would ignomtnlously mm tall to the obstacles which
stood in tbe way of a further rise and scamper off with
the bit In its teeth in tbe direction or a serious fall.
THE EXCISE WAR.
It did so, nevertheless, to tbe loss or some six points on Us own account and to the imminent danger
or creating a stampede among tbe other fancies. In

as to the personality or the sellers. * Mr. Vanderbllt,
Hot whiskey was the prevailing drink in the liquor through his sponsors, denies having sold a share; Mr.

the hospitality allorded through the means ot "sldo Apparently the stook IB suffering from marasmus, tr doors" all over Manhattan Island gave those who the above statements be credtted, and Is
so desired ample opportunity to indulge their respect? simply weakening irom Inanition. There are ive tastes. The Germans, true to their national love base slaves, however, that have been made
ot copious draughts of a comparatively mild character, to pay, whether tbey wonld or not, through being notwithstanding the chilly atmosphere whlob told long ol tbe stock, who do not besltatc to deolare with reddening eflect on the nasal organs of both that each and all of the parties named, despito their
sexes, confined themselves to loaming lager, fin? ing welss beer and other kindred beverage* in the various popular resorts at which they asssmbied, as usual, in large numbers. Although the efforts
made of late to enforce the Kxcise law in
this city have, doubtless, produced a minia? ture revolution among a large proportion of the liquor dealers, impelling them to a more strict
promises to tbe oontrsry, have "sold out" upon them.
Tbeir theory is an excusable one, and, what is more, a probable one. Ii has been apparent for somo time that tbe apeoulatlon for a rise bas become, as It were, jammed; that blocks or stooks have accumulated In a lew operators' hands; that the publio was as coy of entering into tbe parlor of speculation as was tbe fly to hold social intercourse with the spider, and that,

yesterday goes to show that thus far the attempted
enforcement ol that portion ol tbo statute wblob pro?
hibits the sale ot intoxicating drinkaonthe Sabbath
Is a palpable failure.
AT THE SALOONS.
At the Tivoll the bur In tbe front portion of the
bouse was open, as was also that in tbe billiard room
connecting with the entrance. In the main drinklug
saloon a unique pretence to comply with tbe Sunday
closing law was observed Behind the bar and in
front ol each drinking glars was placed a small card
bearing tbe counterfeit presentments ot oule and
female athletes, dancers and histrionic obaraoters
connected with the Teutonio stage in this and othor
cities. Men sat at tbe tables drinking what ap?
peared to be lager, several kegs of which were
on tap in full view of those who entered.
Whether stronger drink than beor could have been
obtained is a matter altogether for inference The
proprietor, on being questioned by tbe writer, said,
"i know noding 'bout excise pisziness; only sell
demperance drinks on Sooadays."
'Ibe Do Soto House was lound absolutely closed, the
outside door being secured against possible intrusion
by a heavy wooden orossbar. Having announced the
nature of his viait tbe writer waa finally ad?
mitted, and then learned from the proprietors
that the hotel has invariably closed Its doors on Sun?
day ever since it was established. "We have a house
lull of boarders," said Mr. South, "and they are tba
only persons wh? can obtain refreshments here on
Sunday under any circumstances."
Tbo bar at tbe Clitton Shades was
completely
bidden
from viow by a green covering, tbe only signs of life
in tbe room being a solitary guest and the pro?
prietor. Tbe latter, wrongfully oonjecturlng the
wish of tbe reporter as be waa in the act ot
entering tbe door leading from the vestibule, paused
wblle In the act ot maaticating a mouthful
of Welsh rarebit, or some similar tidbit, say?
ing, "No, sir, nothing to-day, sir; can't sell
hu) thing to-day." Un being asaured that
bis visitor had no desire whatever to infringe upon
tbe Kxcise law, Mr. Hassett said that, as a rule, bla
bar was always closed on Sunday, and tbat be only
kept hia front door open to allow his boarders to go In
and out.
Har.y Hill's bsr was also closed, the place present?
ing altuoai a deserted aDpearauca. Tbe proprietor
was cowbere to be seen, nor any other persou con?
nected with tbe bouse. It was understood outside,
however, tbat some kind or an entertainment woald
be given later In tbe evening.
Nothing was sold at the bar of the Ashland House,
Fourth svenue and Twentj-fourth street, and those
wanting drinks took seaie In tbe restaurant, where
they were served with anything they required.
Hundreds of people were found seated m the
Atlantio Garden Imbibing beverages of various
colors, and watching with interest the musi?
cal convolutions of a gorgeously dressed or
ciiestra composed of female performers. Three or
four bartenders were kep. busy responding to the or?
ders ut about a score ol wultors, wnose chief demand
was for wbut they termed "welss." Wblle inside tbe
reporter overheard a youth, who bad Just seated
himself at one ot tbe numerous tables, aBk one
of the waiters for a glass el lagor. Putting down a

quiet reply, "that's all tbo same, Centennial
weiHS beer that we soil on Sunday." Tbe
customer then tasted tbe beverage and absorbed it
without lurtber comment. Addressing a (at man, wbo
was pointed out as tbe manager, tbe reporter inquired
If tbe exoiae people caused bim any inconvenience
in bis business. He replied, "No, dey don't
drouble us mooch. Dot Cotter feller he glf us a leetio

coming up to expectation. This was particularly tbo
cose with Lake Shore, the receipts lor November
being conlessedly unsatlslactory and the probabilities
or a dividend crowing smaller by degrees and
beaotilully less. Until the last day or two
ot the week tbe main list remained surprisingly
strong, bnt symptoms of yielding were discoverable on Friday and plainly developed on the day following
The grangers resisted best or all, establishing them?
selves as a sort ot Horatlus Coccles to defend the
bridge of speculation agaluat a precipitate stampede.
The decline in those shares ranged lrom 1* to 3 p?r
cent; It was double tnat In Michigan Central and tbe coal carriers, tbe latter getting an attack ol vertigo at
tbe very end of the week. Indeed, tbe entire market
was, in the opinion of financial doctors, deeidedly
"sick".a case or "falling slokness" In faet, whloh in
miliar gf proper treatment la as bothering as It was In
olden timet. Although the dlstributien of Lake Shore
was the chief cause ot the market's decline there were
other clrcnmstanoes which helped It. The uncer?
tainty as to the Issue of tbe Resumption and Silver
bills, tho low prloes ot coal, as obtained at the auction
sales, anft the litigation wblob threatens tbe oompaot
between tbe telegraph companies were of a depres?
sing nature. In tho end, bowever, n more active business ought to result from a lower ?calo of prloes
and a general distribution ot shares, since the preva?
lence of directly opposite conditions has been one or
tbe cblel reasons ior the existing stagnation.
