New York, Feb. 2.— Dealings in the stock
market continue to show decreased volume and
activity tends to restrict itself for the present
to spots, which special attention to by
shorts or tne bears The feature of the late
rise was Western Union , which continued its
advance, with constantly increasing business,
and at the close it was the most active stock on
the list. Opening losses amounted to IJ4
in New York Central and large fractions in
Union Pacific and Erie. The demand in ihe
loan crowd was very marked, and selling at the
opening was soon seen to be for the purpose of
buying stocks in different portions of the list,
so that the temper of the market soon changed
for the bolter, while advances in the forenoon
were slight in all cases, except Ktstillers, which
was suddenly advanced 2 per cent., and as
quickly let off over 1 per cent. The movement
in this stock, however, failed to affect the rest
of the market, and other industrials were
strong, sugar rising 2 per cent, on small
transactions. As the afternoon oF< along
selling became less and less, and the market
drifted into positive dul ness, which at one time
became quite oppressive. The last hour, how
ever, was marked by the awakening of anew
demand, shorts becoming especially eager in
view of the strength in Western union, while
bull points afloat were of the most dis
couraging nature to the bears. Ibe
fear evidently was that the Gould inter
ests had efiPred upon a campaign for higher
nrices. and the shorts ran to cover m all por
tions of the iist, The demand saw no abate-

ment up to the final sales and the market closed
fairly active and strong at the best figures.
Western Union shows a gain to-night of 2 per
oeni. Distillers IS, and sugar 144, while otner
changes are in most cases fractional gains.
Sales of listed stocks aggregated 207,000 shares;

N*w York, Feb. 2 —Hubbard, Price & Co.’s
cotton circular says: "The Liverpool market
opened this mon Ing 3@4-64d below yesterday’s
figures, but recovered part of the loss, closiug
quiet within l-32d of lasteveuing’s prices. Uur
cables report a better Inquiry from pin
ners but at low prices. In this market the
opening figures were 3to 4 points better than
last night. Lighter receipts at New Orleans
than had been predicted ynsterdaF Induced a re
covery and by 12 o'clock an advance
of 5 points on last evening's figures
hd been established. Buying today
has been of the heat character, and short Inter
est created on reoent uecline seems to have
fully discounted the probabilities of heavier re
ceipts for the balance of the week. During
the afternoon the market bad a sharp rally,
nervousness of an overgrown short interest
being its basis An extreme advance of some
12 points on yesterday's figures was established,
part of which was, however, lost before
the close. The immediate future depends
largely upon the disposition that foreign con
sumers shall evince in regard to their supplies.
Evidence that they are disposed to increase
them at these prices is not wanting, and a de
cidedly more active cable Inquiry, especially
from the continent, is reported this
afternoon."

Csnuoo, Feb. 2.—Wheat declined nearly all
day and closed easy at bottom figures, with a
loss of 1%0 on Mey, the active future, com
pared with yesterday's last prioe. Beside* be-
Jng weak, the market was dull. About all of
the news was unfavorable to holders and dis
courages! longa were generally Inclined to let
go. Cables brought lower quotations and
foreigners were said to be selling generously at
the s.-aboard. Recepts In the north
west were liberal and the weather in
the southwest was moderating. There was
a good deal of buying at the start around 9 Ns,
but that did not take long to catisfy the de
mand, and. as offering continued liberal, weak
n-ss soon ruled. Corn was fairly active and
showed a good deal of strength. A hberal ex
port movement, a brisk eastern and New Eng
land demand and continued poor grading were
all among factors. Short sellers were showing
a good deal of concern and general inclination
to cover. Oue of the notable features of the
market was the st rength disp ayed 1 1 the near
futures, which are very close to May This
is because of continued poor grading, fears of
scarcity of grain to fill near by eontraers, in
fact there are feara of a natural o irner. Of 372
cars of corn inspected in the stores to-dey, not
oue prad -d contract; of 2,10) cars during the
last ten days only ten have been contract, as
a result of this condition of affairs February
shows an advauca of lc over yester
day. closing within WiC of top figures,
while May closed unchaageJ after having
been Trc higher. The advance was steady, with
very little reaction. Oats were quit, s eady
and witfiout feature. Katlier small stocks of
provisions than were looked for gave tu-g prod
ucts temporary strength this morning, but
free offerings caused the market to weaken
aft- r aard. T.iere were several narrow fluctu
ations later, leaving pork unchanged. Lard is
5c lower, and ribs, in which stocks showed
tue greatest diminution, are 7)4c higher.

NATIONAL CITY BANK.
The firm of Messrs. Joi rnbay A Burnham, of
Brooklyn, Importers and Dealers In Dry Goods,
waa established in January. 1*44, by Mr Henry
P. Journeay and Mr. Lyman 8. Burnham. In
the following year Mr. Hugh Boy.l became a
partner, and the firm remained unchanged un
til the death of Mr. Journeay a year ago neces
sitated a reorganization, and its conversion
into a corporation was accomplished.
The reputation of the firm for honorable deal
ing and fsr the high class of goods which it
handles, has always been recognized, and Its
credit and that of theOompany succeeding it, is
the highest accorded by the Uommorcial Agen
cies of the country, it has over 60.000 patrons,
not only in Brooklyn, but throughout the New
England Htates, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland. as<J extending as far
South as Texas, and as far Wewt us loas.
Its career has been one of continued prosper
ity, the sales for upward of forty years past
having amounted to over $1,250,000 ;,er annum
For the throe mouths ending 1 Hist,
1891—the first complete quarter of the corpora
tion—its gross busine s amounted to $3*6.946 17,
being $71,943 48 greater than the business of the
firm during the same period in the preceding
year. The n t profits of the quarter wre $37.-
777 18, being at the annual rato of 6 per oaut.
upon the Preferred Htock, 12 per cent, upon
the ('ounmou Stock, and a surplus equal to 6 11 -
100 per cent, upon both, making in all 18 11-100
per cent, upon the Preferred Stock and 1711-100
percent, upon the Common Stock. It is. how
ever. expected that the business will show a
much greater Increase after March Ist, upon
which date the Company will remove from its
present limited and inconveniently located
premises on Atlantic avenue to its now and
commodious building bow nearly oornpleted at
the junction of Fulton Street and Flactmsb
Avenue. This site was selected after due con
sideration, and It is believed to be the most ad
vantageous location in the city ofJßrooklyn for
a dry goo la business. It is reached by seven
different lines of street cars, is opposite th> sta
tion of both Elevated Railroads and within two
blocks of the Ix>ng Island Railroad station,
whereas the present location is reaohed by but
two lin* gof street cars. The removal ts in re
sponse to a popular demand, and universal as
surances of approval have been received of the
contemplated change.
The Comnauy is managed, under the control
of its Board of Directors, by thesurviviug mem
bers of the late firm, aided by its well known,
reliable and experienced staff of employes.
Me srs Lyman S. Burnham and Hugh Boyd,
and Mr. John M Conklin, for many years asso
ciated with the late firm have entered into an
agreement with the Company to remain in Its
service until July Ist, 1896, and for sueh longer
period as their services may be required.
The stock now offered is the balance of that
issued by the Company to acquire tbe interest
of the deceased partner. The 8 per cent, stock
which was offered in July last was largely over
subscribed. and was allotted pro rata arnoug
nearly six hundred applicants, it is now quoted
106 ex dividend hid, with no stock offered.
