The price dropped nearly one and a half cents a pound during Friday, entailing immense losses on the speculators, There was ground for a reasonable ad. vance, in the partial failure of the crop of the berry in Brazil and Java, but the gambling spirit became rampant and with the usual result, It is probable a repetition of Friday's scenes will be wit- nessed for some days to come, until the market reaches hard pan. The retail price of coffee has been almost or quite doubled of late, and consumers will be benefited directly by the decline, how- ever much the speculators may suffer, ans et For black silk and moire and stei- ped velvet to mateh all colored | Roods, be sure to call on Lyon & Co. certificates, 1,000; restorations, G3 unicant membership, 154, rt showe be $6 bet { local expenses iy ence of tl lows (General INO Week Every MANN, THE MURDERERD burg.
