News that the directors of Burlington and
Quincy were in session in Boston made a little
life in that stock, specially toward noon, the
general supposition being that the suspension
in the matter of a dividend would lie ended by
the declaration of the usual 124 P® l " cent, for a
quarter. On this there was a moderate amount
oc buying, and the price was run up 1% per
cent.; but when the announcement was male
that the dividend had been cut down to 1 per
cent., there was a rush to get out, and buyers of
the morning hours were specially anxious to
throw overboard their loads. A great deal of
long stock came out, however, from those who
have been holding on for some time, and only
one firm stood ia the breach as buyers until late
in the day, wben. after a drop of 3 per cent,
from its bast figures, a slight rally was bad on
covering of shorts. Shortness of tbe corn crop
receives the blame for the decrease in the earn
ings of Burlington and Quincy, and naturally
corn roads suffered most in tnn decline which
f llowed, Roctt island in particular. All the
Grangers, however, were hurt materially, and

outside of them and a few specialties, with
Silver Certificates, there was little or no in
terest in dealings. The decline In silver made
further subetautial progress, and more activity
was shown in them than for a long ume. A
loss of nearly 2 per cent, was the result of the
operations of the day ifi them. The general list
was iuelmed to advance slowly until the break
in Burlington and Quincy came, when all the
improvement of the forenoon was last and
fractions in addition, and while there was no
activity outside of the stucse mentioned, every
thing closed lower than last afternoon. The
market closed quiet but weak at about the
lowest prices of the day. The sales of
stocks were 154.000 shares listed and 10,000
shares of unlisted.

The Sun's cotton review says: “Futures
opened at I@2 points deoline, closing steady at
a decline of 9@ll points on this crop, and (l@B
points on new crop months from yesterday's
closing prices. It was another day for the in
discriminate slaughter of the bulls. Down they
went. They made a gallant fight, as the large
transactions of about 143.000 bales testify. The
active dealings would mean more, however, if
there bad been any considerable short interest,
but t ore was not. and the dischuraged bulls
afford only solution. They had no afternoon
to hang on, except vauge talk about the large
crop being already discounted by the present
low prices. Liverpool was against them, the
southern porta were against them, and interior
towns were against them, and they had to suc
cumb. How near bottom are we? This is a
question we hear on all sides, It is one which
may be answered this month or not, until the
prospects for the next crop become an influence
upou values. Liverpool cotton was l-16d lower
and dull.’!

Chicago. Feb. 17.—The opening prices for
May wheat was 97%0 with sellers rather more
vigorous than borers, which resulted in some
sales at 97%®07%e- Staying powers was with
bulls, however, aud tendency turned in an up
ward direction. During the first half hour
fluctuations were between S7V*@97* s c to 7%c,
with preference for upper register, which after
another half hour’s trading was moved up to
98%c. and after reaction to *7%c, it was shoved
up one notch higher to 9RL f ;@9'<’q \ The mar
ket in the letter half of the session was stiff in
the face of a good deal sailing by parties who
bought early In the -lay. Corn opened firm but
inactive at about Monday's closing prices.
There were sales of May at 6>%c and also 52%c,
and for some time prices remained close to
those figures, but with the encouragement of
a firmer wheat market and a goo-1 Jemand for
cash offerings. The firmness at first and later
decided the strength and became characteristic
of trading May advanced to 53%0 by easy
stages, and after several reactions the Highest
price quoted was beiug bid as t: e closing bell
sounded, with sales almost Instantaneous there
after at 53%. Oats borrowed considerable
strength from corn, which cause! an advance
of %c. The market was fairly active. Provi
sions easier and at somewhat lower prices.
There was some strength infused from the firm
tone of wheat and corn, and May pork opened
at a decline of 2%c, sold off 5c more, but re
covered the early lons, and dosed at the same
price as on the day before. Lard and ribs pur
sued a somewhat similar course, but the early
de line in each was only 214 c.

THE GRANGERS RAN THE TOWN
How the Farmers Speculated—Points
for Jay Gould.
The man who says that the agricultural
vision is obscured by hayseed and rural sim
plicity knows not whereof he speaks.
The alltancemeii ran the town last week.
There seems to be a doubt as to whether the
agricultural convention held Its sessions in
a public hall or at B. H. Levy & Bro.’s.
The latter place taw a good deal of them,
and the low prioes of line Clothing, Over
coats, Hats, Neckwear and Underwear

How could things be otherwise? The

he sees it oughtn't to see anything. Our

anxious buying crowds all the time—all
pleased, all satisfied, all telling their
friends and hurrying them to Levy’s before
all the good things are gone.

The Sunday Closing Law.
Editor Morning News: In view of the
rigid enforcement of the Sunday closing
law, it may be of interest to the general
public to know that they oan employ tbeir
Sundays at home In reflecting on the boauty
and eleganoo of the magnificent stock of
Diamonds, Fino Jewelry and Silverware at
Sternberg’s, and the very low prices ruling.
Whenever the occasion arrives, such as a
birthday or other anniversary, or say a
presentation to some friend or other person
of a piece or set of silverware or a fine
gold beaded cane or umbrella ft will be
well to remember that Btemherg’s is the
leading jewelry bouse in the state, and can
always offer superior inducements to pur
chasers. Respectfully, M. S. & Bro.,

Savannah, Ga.. Dec. 16. 1890. (
Messrs. Lippman Bros., Savannah Ga.—Dear
Sirs: I would like to aid my testimony to the
almost miraculous effect of P. P. P. in the case
of Mary Ingraham, a woman living on my place.
She had a constant oough, sore throat, debility,
etc., and was emaciated to a degree that she was
unable to get out of bed unaided. Being given
up by physicians, she had taken the ruinous so
called blood medicines without the least eject,
until being put under the P. P. P. she immedi
ately began to improve, and is now in as good
health as ever in her life. You can refer to me
at any time as to the effect of P. P. P. in the
foregoing case. Yours truly,
—Ad. Samuel Cherry.
