New York, April 30.—The stock market to-
day was dull and weak. Foreigners bought
seme few stocks in the early morning and the
temper of speculation was generally bullish
upon reported utterances of Mr. Gould, and
this was increased by marked strength shown
in Missouri-Pacific. The early demand soon
died away, however, leaving the market ex-
tremely dull and somewhat Irregular, though
the general tendency was npward
In the forenoon and downward during
the remainder of the day. There
was some realizing In the afternoon, but
there w as no disposition to trade and fluctua-
tions, except in two or three stocks, were in
significant. Rock Island was strong late In
the day. It was bought upon rumors that new
rights are to be given to the stockholders.
Readlngwas the only really active stock. It
displajed considerable strength In the fore-
noon upon the renewal of rumors of a settle-
ment with the first series fives. Although
these were afterward contradictod upon tlio
authority of tlie president, the stock received
support from cliques and yieldeel but slightly.
The opening was generally firm, while, Mis-
souri Pacific showed an advance of #. Tlio
first few minutes of business was marked by
great activity, but the market soon quieted
down and by the end of the, flrethalf hour had
became dull and so remained throughout the
rest of the day. Fort Worth and Donyer was
specially weak, dropping nearly 2 per cent.,
while tbe rebt of the list showed but slight
fluctuations and were generally firm. Fort
Woith afterward recovered most of its loss,
and after the issue of the bank statement,
which was regarded as favorable, all interest
in transactions ceased. Quotations yielded
slowly upon realizations, but the close wa3
dull and steady. Sales, 204,012 shares.
Railroad bonds displayed more activity.
Trading showed more decided character than
on any previous day this week, being firm to
strong throughout, and closing figures almost
invariably showed advances.

A NARRATIVE OF LOVE.
It Shows How Obnoxious the Marriage License
Law oS Pennsylvania Is.
There is a clause in the marriage license
law of this state, writes a Harriaburg (Pa.l
correspondent, which is intended to pre
vent the clandestine marriage o£ minors
and applicants for a license to marry a
irinor must either be accompanied by at
least one of the minor's parent
to tbe county clerk's offioa to sat-
isfy that individual that there Is
no parental opposition, or show the
written consent of a parent, signed in the
presence of two witnesses and sworn to be
fore a justice of the peace, before a license
•will be issued. The county clerks furnish
blank forms for this purpose. Ignorance
of the law in this respect either nips many
a fond matrimonial hope in the bud or, if
the possessors of the hope live near enough
to a state where marriage license is not
necessary, enlists elopement in the cause
of love.
John Schmidt is an iadustrious young
German citizen of Beaver Falls, where also
lives his friend William Griener. They
went to the county clerk's office a fow days
ago, accompanied by two pretty German
girls, and applied for licenses to be mar
ried. The girls were minors, and the re
quirements of the law were explained to
them and the young men. Then the trouble
began. Clreiner's betrothed! was an
orphan without a guardian, and had
no one who could give legal con-
sent to her marriage. Schmidt's in
tended had a father and mother, but
they live iu Stuttgart, Germany. Over-
coming the difficulties in the case by going
to another state where marriage license was
no barrier to wedlock was out of the ques-
tion, for the only states bordering on Penn
sylvania where such au elysium can be
found are New York and New Jersey, both
of them hundreds o£ miles away from
lieaver county. Gieiner was informed that
ho could remove the obstacle in the way of
his happiness by having a guardian ap-
pointed over his intended bride. As
for Schmidt, nothing could be done
for him until one of the con
sent blanks had beeii forwarded to the
parents of his betrothed inGermany, signed
by them and acknowledged by the proper
officer, and returned to Beaver for presenta-
tion to the county clerk. As the girl's pa-
rents can not read English, the blank would
have to be translated into German, and a
long letter of instruction and explanation
written to them. This wa3 a sad blow
to Schmidt and his intended. Be-
sides the delay, the letter might not
mako the situation and the necessi-
ties of the case clear to the parents
acroes the sea, who knew nothing of their
daughter's matrimonial intentions. Even
if they readily understood it all, there was
a chance that they might not givetheir con-
sent, an exigency which the disappointed
girl evidently thought was more than likely
to occur. There was no other resource,
however, and a blank was prepared by
County Clerk Scott in the German lan-
guage, a letter written and the important
documents at once mailed. Under the most
favorable conditions the couple can not
know their fate in less time than six weeks.
As to the guardianship in the Greiner
case, neither the girl nor her lover could
think of any one whom they could ba Isuro
of as a guardian, but the county clerk set-
tled the matter by telling them that Greiner
himself could be appointed to take charge
of the orphan's affairs, and that the ap-
pointment could be made at a special court
on Monday next. This caused great re-
oicing to the couple, which Schmidt and
!iis unlucky loetrothed did not share.
The two couples had intended to be mar-
ried together, and when the unexpected ob-
stacles arose, and Greiner's affair was so
happily settled, Schmidt wanted his friend
to put off bis nuptials until the documents
in the Schmidt case arrived from Germany,
so they could rejoice together, but Greiner
and his intended refused to wait, and they
will be married as soon as Greiner as
guardian can give his consent to his ward's
accepting Greiner.
"The marriage license law must go,"
said several sympathetic members of the
legislature when this narrative of lave so
cruelly balked by the statute was related
to-day.

CHICAGO CATTLE.
A Review" of the Stock Market During the
Fast Seven Days—The Course of
Prices.
Chicago, 111., April 30.—The cattle mar-
ket has been* rather uneven this week, but
on the whole prices do not show much
change. At times the movement ha3 been
pretty stow, but it has perhaps averaged
freer than last week, and with daily sup-
plies well cleared the market fias a healthier
tone. The most salable cattle are still
those weighing from 1100 to 1300 pounds,
provided they are fat. There seeni3 to be
no standard of values on these nice little
steers, especially those of a pony build
from Kansas and Nebraska. This class is
preferred to the heavier grades, not only
by the dressed-beef men, but by a majority
of those who snip on the hoof, and if
a lot suits the fancy of the buyer a sales-
man can get almost any price within rea-
son. Hence quotations for these are about
as high as at any time this season. Droves
averaging 1400 to 1000 pounds, however,
are dull and neglected and sell some 30c.
below the highest figures of the year. There
are only two or three buyers who care to
handle this class and they are selling at
very mean prices as compared with light
and medium weights. Thus while buyers
do not hesitate to pay $10,> and $1 70 for
IK'O-pound Nebraskas, they will not look at
good 1400-pound Illinois steers at $180 to
J-l 00. The character of the demand iu this
respect is not likely to change soon; heavy
cattle will continue to be discriminated
against.
Total receipts have been somewhat
larger than for the previous week, but the
quality of the offerings has been good—
exceptionally. Indeed rarely at any sea-
son of the year is the proportion of ripe
fat beeves to prominent as at present.
Droves averaging from 1350 to 1000 pounds
are to be seen on every hand, and there is
no end of fat 1100 to 1300-pound steers.
Bales at $1 75ft5 00 are numerous, while
still higher figures aro paid in a few in-
stances. ltough, half-fattened lots sell at
$3 7»ft4 00;I dressed-beef men pay about
$4 If (an 10, and shippers fill their orders at
Jf4 -lOfto 15.
Butchers' stuff does not show much
change in price. The supply is rather on
the increase, but there is a good demand
and all useful sorts are wanted at previous
prices. Still, native butchers' and canuers'
stock is an unreliable article to deal in
at present. Any day when there is a large
stock of Texans on sale prices drop down
a point or two, especially on common old
cows. Prime and fancy cows command
fair prices, but will sell cheaper on the ap,
pearance of good low-priced Texans. Sales
are chiefly at $2 60f(t3 40.
In stoekers and feeders trade was iigktat
steady rates. Offerings are very small, bnt
the late advance in prices has erected the
demand.
Closing quotations ranse as follows:
Extra steers $5 2005 35
Choice steers 5 00®5 15
Good steers 4 60®4 90
