New York. Feb. 26. —The following were
the closing quotations at the Stock Exchange
to-day:
New York. Feb. £6.—Speculation at the
Stock Exchange continues quiet. Sales of
slocks were only 151,600 shares, of which ol.Ouu
were American Sugar and 30,000 Whisky. At
the start the market was weak and feverish,
owing to the heavy selling of American
Sugar. Last week this stock was up on the
belief that the country wmld be allowed a
small protection. To day ess confidence was
felt in the story and realization was in order.
Sugar declined from 83 to B)ssc, lead 254 c to
25j$c, and National Cordage from 154 c
to 141$c. General Electric and Chicago Gr.s
lost 9s@l4 per cent. respectively
in sympathy. Whisky was relatively
stronger than the other Industrials and rose
1 to 2j. Subsequently there as a decline to
23', and 244. the railway list was firmer
under the leadership of s>t. Paul. This slock
moved uptos7',.the sales for London ac
count having had no effect. On this the rail
way list moved up !$ to U$ per cent An ef
fort was made to depress the market on talk
of demoralization in the trunk line poo..
East bound rates. both passenger
and freight. were said to be
In such a shape that the pres
idents of the trunk lines had been
compelled to call a general meeting
for Wednesday next. The meeting will take
place on the day named but it can be stated
that the bears are displaying more anxiety
about the matter than the officials of the
roads, lhe fact that the stocks command a
fair premium tor use and the inability of the
professionals to dislodge holdings accounts
for ’he.r nervousness. he closing was firm
with me railway stocks anywhere from 4 to
percont higher for the dty. The Indus
trials score 1 looses of 14$ for Sugar common
and 14 for Load common. Kallwuy and mis

don and 14 cent higher in New York."
New York. Ken. 26.—Riordan A Cos. say of
cotton to day: The lowest pjrieos for cotton
so far reached in the long decline were re
corded today. Liverpool showed great
weakness and the 56. ling out of weak longs
continued, giving the market in the first hour
a verv helpless appearance. May opened 5
points lower, at 7.39, and the decline continued
until it had touched 7.15. That price for
a time at least seemed to mark the end of the
g:eat liquidation. The offerings suddenly
shrank, and buyers were compelled to ad
vance their kids in order to secure cotton.
There were occasional reactions of a few
poiuts. but the general tendency continued
upward until May had sold at 7.50, .17 points
above the lowest. The elqse was tirm,
with 7.49 bid for May. The sharp rally
was due almost entirely to the covering of
shorts. There does not yet seem to be much
disposition to buy cotton for investment, and
we fear that when the short sales have all
been covered the market will a/ain sag for
lack of support. We favor sales upon all
good rallies.

DeLeon, Tex., July 23, 1891.— Messrs.
Lippman Bros.. Savannah. Ga.: Gents—
I've used nearly four bottles of P. P. P. I
was afflicted from the crown of mv head to
the soles of my feet. Your P. P. P. has cured
difficulty of breathing and smothering, pal
pation of the heart, and relieved me of all
pain; one nostril was closed for ten years,
now I can breathe through It readily
I have not slept on either side for two years;
In fact, dreaded to see night tome; now I
sleep soundly in any position all night
I am 59 years old, but ex pact soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles I feel proud
I was lucky enough to get P. P. P.. and I
heurtllv recommend It to my friends and the
public generally. Yours respectfully.
A. M. Ramsey.

manche-Before the undersigned authority,
on this day. personally appeared A. M. Ram
sey. who. after being duly sworn, says on
oath that the foregoing statement made by
him relative to the virtue of P. P. P. medi
cine is true.
