To-day was another dull and listless day for
most stocks, but loadings were marked by in
creased strength and advances were recorded in
several specialties. Trading was almost purely
professional, and fluctuations, except in a few
stocks, were confined to exceedingly narrow
limits. St. Paul and Duluth was agaim the most
conspicuous stock by reason of its unusual
strength, and a further large advance was re
corded on the circulation of the same stories
which have done duty heretofore. Tennessee
coal and iron was also strong. There was some
buying in Western Union, but the remainder,
especially coal stocks, were dull and featureless.
The opening was moderately Ann, most stocks
showing slight advances, all hough several were
unchanged and a few a shade lower. The mar
ket was dull throughout the day except for a
few spurts. There was a jeavy tone early, and
slight declines were established, but before the
end of the first hour the entire list liecame
strong. The market was firm thereafter until
the close. Total sales 198,01)1) sliares. The fol

Manchester. May 25. —The Guardian says;
“Business is worse. Not only is the advance
needed by producers quite infeasible, but the
tendency is otherwise. There has been no in
crease in the demand even at Friday’s lowest
rates. Producers are being ground between a
dwindling trade here and a firm cotton market
In Liverpool. Spinners are doubtless getting
worsted. The supply of yarns is abundant.
Some spinners will continue working full time
even at a cost of increasing their stocks. Others
are ceasing, and during the next fortnight the
production of yarn will be much lessened.
Affairs in the manufacturing department are in
much better condition than in the spinning de
partment, and orders are booked to extend
further forward. Most of the margins are
more remunerative, and the demand, though
poor, is better than in the spinning sections.
Still manufacturers are perplexed about em
ployment for their machinery and are lessening
production. Yarns are dull" all round. There
are few inquiries for export. Prices offered are
a little below Friday's lowest rates. Cloth sales
are exceedingly light. The India trade has not
improved. For China there is a small business
at Friday’s lowest rates. Best printing cloths
and heavy goods are weaker.”

Green & Co.’s renort on cotton futures says:
“After considerable animation and frequent
fluctuations, during which August sold down to
11 01c, the market finally closed within a frac
tion of last evening and apparently firm. The
movement appeared to be largely of a specula
tive battle only, in which the longs on one side
were disposed to take profits ana sell out with
a natural weakening tendency, combatted by
Southern aud European syndicates who took the
supply whenever it commenced to act weighty.”

Chicago, May 25.—A repetition of yesterday’s
closing scene, when short sellers went home
exultant at having broken through the defense
the clique bad around the 88c peg for June
wheat, was avoided this morning. More brokers
were placed iti the pit, and in order to raid to
day the crowd would have had to part with a
great deal more wheat. The clique brokers had
unlimited orders to buy June wheat, and they
took all the crowd would sell them. They
allowed a few parties to settle their June con
tracts at 88<j, but only those were allowed to
settle who had it sold to them lower down, so
that the settlement brought a little profit for
the clique. Gossip said that $2,000,000 in cur
rency was stalled from Cincinnati last night.
June wheat opened %c higher at 88c, and re
mained about that figure throughout the day,
closing at 88%0. T'he wheat indication was
changed from June to July option this morning,
but June still remaius the more active option.
July also opened %c higher at 80%e, hung steady
around 86%@56%e during the day, and closed
at 86%c. Trading in June and July was only
moderate during the latter part of the session.
July coni opened a shade firmer at 40%c, but
prospects of large receipts made it weaker, and
it sold down In the first hour to 89%c. I Alter in
the day largo purchaaea firmed It up, and July
closed at 40®4&%c. Ik developed shortly after
the corn market opened that the clique brokers
were in the pit. and were holding up June in or
der to get rid of the balance of the clique's pur
chases of that month, which were inode over a
month ago. and which it was the general belief
had all been marketed. June corn opened at
38%c and closed at the same figure. July ribs
opened 5e lower at $7 20. ami sold up during the
morning to $7 30, and remained at that figure
until the close. July lard opened at $6 75 and
closed at $6 77%. Both commodities were dull
and featureless.

A SACRED RELIC.
Official Manuscript of the Sentence of
the Saviour bv Pontius Pilate.
From Note* and Queries.
A corres]x>ndent sends what he believes to
be a correct translation of the sentence pro
nounced by Pontius Pilate on Christ. He
says that this curious document was discov
ortxi in A. D. 1280 in the City of Aquill in the
Kingdom of Naples, in the course of a search
made for the discovery of Roman antiquities,
and it remained there until it was found by
the Commissaries of Art in the French army
of Italy. Up to the time of the campaign
in Southern Ityily it was preserved in the
sacristy of the Carthusians, near Naples,
where it was kept in a box of ebony. Since
then the relic has been kept in the Chapelo
Caserta. The Carthusians obtained, by pe
tition, leave that the nlate might be kept by
them as an acknowledgment of the sacrifice
which they had made tor the French army.
The French translation was made literally
by members of the Commission of Art.
Denon had a fac-simile of the plate en
graved, which on the sale of his cabinet was
bought by Lord Howard for 2.800f.: “Sen
tence pronounced by Pont ius Pilate, Intend
antof Lower Galilee, that Josvs of Nnza
reth shall suffer death by the cross. In the
seventeenth year of the reign of the Em
peror Tiberius, and on the 25th day of March
In the most holy City of Jerusalem, during
the Pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas.
Pontius Pilate, Intendant of the province of
Lower Galilee, sitting in judgment in
the presidential chair of the Praetor,
sentences Jesvs of Nazareth to death
on a cross between two robbers, as the
numerous testimonials of tho people prove
that: (1) Jesvs is a misleader. (2) Ho has
excited the people to sedition. (3) He is an
enemy to the ljiw. (4) He calls himself the
Sou of God. (5) He calls himself falsely the
King of Israel. He went to the temple fol
lowed by a multitude carrying palms in
their hands. It likewise orders the first
centurion, Qutrilius Cornelius, to bring him
to the place of execution, and forbids all
persons, rich or poor, to prevent the execu
tion of Jesvs.
“The witnesses who have signed the exe
cution against Jesvs are: (1) Daniel llobani.
(2) John Zorobabel. (3) Raphael Robani,
a Pharisee. (41 Capet. Finally the orders
that the said Jesvs be taken out of Jerusa
lem through the gate of Toumea.”
THUMB WEDDING RINGS.
Something Not Generally Known
Anent the Bright Nuptial Band.
From Notes aiul Queries.
The “ring of rings”—the wedding ring—
is now worn on tho fourth digit of the hand,
perhaps from a notion that was held by the
“leeches” of bygone dnys that an artery
went from it straight to the heart, but our
maternal ancestors, less romantic, it would
seem, than their fair descendants, often
wore that charmed circlet ou the thumb.
Although tho ring was always placed upon
the fourth linger in church, it was not al
ways allowed to remain there. English
ladies were wont to transfer the golden fet
ter to their thumbs, a custom jierhujis origi
nated by some high-born bride, whose Huger,
like that of Suckling’s heroine,
Was so small the ring
Would not stay on which they did bring.
It was too wide a peek.
At Stanford Court, Worcestershire, may
be seen the portraits of five ladies of the Sal
way family, who lived in the days of Queen
Bess, all of whom carried their wedding
rings upon their thumbs. Buffer bears wit
ness to this practice in his lines:
Others were for abolishing
That tool of matrimony, a ring.
With which the unsanctifled bridegroom
Is married only to a thumb.
