The stock market again broke the record for
dullness to-day, and not for many months has
there been such an utter lack of outside interest.
The tone of the dealings was firm to strong,
however, which was the direct result of cover
ing of short contracts and not of any new buy
ing, and the narrowness of the market may be
Inferred from the fact that there was not a sin
gle 1,000 share lot sold throughout the day. Io
none of the active stocks did the extreme fluctu
ation for the day exceed l percent., wbde in but
two or three of the specialties were there move
ments ove-r that amount. There were few buy
ing orders for tho Standard Oil party in Kan-are
and Texas and Union Pacific during the first
hour, and later Chicago covered some shorts;
but the remainder of the business done was
confined to ttie Stock Exchange. Among the
active list the strength displayed by Union
Pacific and Western Union was the only feature,
and in specialties Manhattan and Chicago. Bur
lington and Quincy advanced sharply toward
the close, beyond which the day was entirely
devoid of interest. The market closed steady to
firm at small fractions better than opening
figures. The following were the closing quota

Manchester, Dec, 21.—The Guardian savs:
“The market was tame and inactive, in some
few cases fair progress has been made, but
oftener sellers have been disappointed. There
is no lack of inquiry in most departments, but
the divergence prevented an agreement as to
prices. There is no sign of a removal of the
difficulty by a rise in distributing markets,
while supplies continue ample. Transactions in
yarns for Eastern, home and minor foreign
markets have been few and unimportant. Prices
are firm. Seilers are vainly trying to obtain au
advance. There have been some sales of export
yarns for India. China and Japan at lull prices,
but the quantity was small. For home con
sumption progress has been moderate even in
most favorable instances. Manufacturers de
clare that t hey see no way for large operations
at current rates until cloth rises. Clotli is in
active. Best shillings and common heavy sized
sorts of ordinary width nre in demand and well
engaged. There is (air inquiry for jaeeonets.
There are some orders for dhooties, but they
are mostly infeasible. Best printers are steady.
Common are dull and neglected. Colored goods
are not readily saleable, prices having increased
owing to the rise in yarn, while buyers are un
willing to pay the advance. Heavy goods are
in demand in moderate quantities.''

Green A Co.'s report on cotton futures savs:
"Considerable irregularity on the market has
been shown, hut the general development was
weak and principally in buyers' favor. Some
shrinkage of receipts and rather more cheerful
accounts from abroad afforded bulls an oppor
tunity to temporarily recover the tone after the
opening, hut no re.il demand followed and longs,
attempting to unload, the cost gradually took a
downward incline and remained tame, with
final rates 5 points below last evening and the
tone more or less tame. Stocks at the South
commence to show a growing balance and cot
ton is still tending in this direction with consid
erable freedom.’

TORTURE.
A Victim of Inflammatory Rheumatism
Cured by the Use of Prickly Ash,
Poke Root and Potassium.
Office Alapaha Star. (
Alapaha, Ga., June 9, 1886. f
r. r. r. M'fg. Cos.:
Gentlemen—About nine months ago I
was attacked with Inflammatory Rheu
matism in my feet, back, shoulders aud
breast. The |iaiiiß were excruciating
and continuous. For six weeks 1 was
confined (o my bed. and part of tbe time
had to tie assisted to turn over. At times
I could not si' up, if to do so would have
secured a fortune. 31y feet were swollen
and the bottoms of them so tender that
walking was a constant source of the
liveliest misery. It would be impossible
to express in words tbe agony l endui *d.
I tried a number of remedies, so-called,
and some of them afforded temporary
relief, but it was only temporary, and I
begn 11 to despair of finding a cure. 1 had
had beard several gentlemen speak of c.
n w- Rheumatism cure manufactured at
Waj cross,and while I listened 1 doubted.
Finally I met two or three parties who
had tried this new medicine and had
been cured, and I decided to procure a
pint of it unci test its virtues. This I did,
aud was satisfied I had been benefited.
Well, to make a long story short, 1 con
tinued to take the medicine until I hail
used three and a halt quart liottles, im
proving all the while in my general
health, and noticing a steady decrease
in the Rheumatism. YVheo the half of
the fourth quart was finished, 1 felt as
well as I ever did in my life, with only
an occasional touch of Rheumatism,
and since taking toe first quart I have
been able to attend to my duties in tho
office, not having lost a moment since
on account of my former enemy.
I shall take two or three quarts more
of P. P. P., beginning about two months
from the time 1 left off taking it; and l
am confident that the last vestige of the
dreadful malady will be driven from my
system.
I do not say that P. P. P. wrought this
wonderful cure but X do assert, most
emphatically, that I derived no perma
nent relief until after 1 took the first
bottle. Yours truly,
J. 3V. HANLON.
One dollar will get a. bottle of this great
remedy. P. P. P. It is a sure cure for Rheu
matism. For sale by all medicine dealers.
Dr. Whitehead can be consulted daily at
the office of the Company, Odd Fellows'
Hall Building, without charge. Prescrip
tions and examination free.. All inquiries
by mail will also receive his personal atten
