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.

Market closed firm. 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.'' New York, Dec. 21, noon.—Cotton dull: mid dling uplands 10 9-16 c, middling Orleans 10 11-Hic; sales 139 b iles.

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.’ Galveston, Dec. 21.—Cotton quiet; middling 9%c; uet receipts 2.215 bales, gross 2,21a; sales 700 bales; stock 101,678 bales.

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.
