A SERMON ON SNOW.
The Various Thoughts Suggested to
l!ev. Dr. Talmagc by the
SIGHT OP THE FALLING FLAKES.
Thron-h Those Little White Particles God
Has Worked Wonders.
A CHANGE IK THE 1)STIXI OP EUROPE
2ew- Yoke, Feb. 8. The remarkable
movement initiated by the services in the
Academy of Music is growine apace, and
negotiations are pending for additional ac
commodations on a gigantic scale. Dr.
lalmage's sermons have set thousands of
the people of Xew York to serious thinking
on religious matters. At every service now,
raen and women rise in all parts of the
louse to intimate their desire that the
Christians present would cray for their
conversion, and after the regular icrvice is
concluded they speedily occupy the
orchestra chairs while Dr. Talmage and
the large corps of workers who are helping
him listen to their aifliculties and give them
advice. Tearful eyes and convulsive sobs
bear testimony to the earnestness of the
reekcis. Dr. Talmage's sermon this even
ing, which he also preached in the Brooklyn
Ac-idemy-ot Music in the morning, was
from Job sxxviii: 22: "Hast thuu entered
into the treasures of the snow?"
Grossly rualisncd is tlio season of winter.
The spring anil summer ind autumn have had
inanyaduiirers, but winter, hoary-headed and
Mhitc-bearded winter, bath had more enemies
than friends. Yet without winter tho human
laco would be inane and effortless. You might
-peak ot the w inter as the mother of tcmpet:
ltalto it as the father of a whole family ot
physical, mental and spiritual energies. The
must people that I know arc strong in propor
tion to the number of sno banks they had to
climb over, or push through, in childhood,
while their father drove the sled loaded with
tugs throntrh the crunching drifts hicli as the
Xences. At this season of the year when we are
mi familiar with the snow, those frozen vapors,
those railing blossoms of the ky, those
while angels of the atmosphere, those
poems of the storm, those Iliads and
Odevs of the wintery tempest.
I turn over the leaves of my Bible
aud though most of it was written in a clime
vhero snow seldom tir never fell I find many
vf these beautiful congelations. Though the
writers may seldom or never hae felt the cold
tiuch of the snow flake on the check, they bad
in sight two mountains the tops of which were
snggetive. Other kings sometimes take off
their crowns, but Lebanon and Mount Ilermon
all the year round and through the ages never
lift the cororots of crvstal from their fore
heads. The first time tc find a deep fall of
snow in the Bible is where Samuel describes a
light between Benaiah and . lion in a pit; and
though the snow may have crimsoned under
the wounds of both man and brute, the suagsy
monster rolled over dead and the slant was vic
tor. Bat the snow is not f ullj recognized in the
HiMc until God interrogates Job. the scientist,
concerning its wonders, saving: "Hat thoa en
tered into the treasures of the snow?"
Wonders in the Dajs of Old.
I rather think that Job may have examined
the snow flake with a microscope; for, although
St is supposed that the microscope was invented
Jong after Jub's time, there had been wonders
of las long before the microscope and tele
score of later dav were thought of. So long
r.go as when the Coliseum was in its full splen
cor, Nero sat in the Emperor's bos of that
great theater, which held 100,000 people, and
looked at the combatants through a gem in his
finder ring which brought evcrjthmg close up
tohisee. Four hundred ears before Christ,
in tho stores at Atbtns, were fold powerful
glasses called "burning spheres," and Layard,
the explorer, found a magnifying glass amid
the ruins of Nineveh, and in the palace of
Nimrod. Whether through masmfyiiig instrn-
mentor with unaidea eye, I cannot say. but I
am sure that Job somehow went through the
galleries of the snow flake and counted its pil
lars and found wonders, raptures, mysteries,
theologies majesties, inanities walking np and
down us corridors, as a result of the question
which the Lord had ask him, "Hast ihou en
tered into the treasures of the snow?'
Oh, it is a wondrous meteor! Humboldt
studied it in the Andes 12.000 feet above the
level ot the sea. Debanssuro reelled among
these meteors in the Alps and Dr. Scoresby
counted 86 varieties or snow-flake amid the
Arctics. They are in shape of stars, in shape
of coronets, in shape of chnders. are globular,
arc hexagonal, are pyramidal, are castellated.
After a fresh fall of snow, in one walk you
crush under vour feet Tuilleries, Windsor Cas
tles, St. Paul's. St. Peter's St. Mark's Cath
edrals. Alhambras and Sydenham Palaces in
numerable. I know it depends much on our
own condition what impression these flying
meteors ot the snow make. I shall not forget
two rough and unpictendlng wood-cuts which
1 saw in rov bo) hood side by side: one picture
of a prosperous farmhouse with all signs of
comfort, and a lad warmly clothed looking out
of the door upon the nrst flurry of snow, and
his mind no doubt filled with the sound of
jingling slelsrh bells, and the frolic with play
fellows in the deep banks, and he. clapping his
hands and shouting: "It snows! It snunsr'
The other sketrh was of a boy, haggard and
"hollow-eyed with hunger, looking from the
lirokencinor of a wretched home, ana seeinc in
the falling flakes prophecy of more cold and
less lireati and greater privation, wringing his
hands and with tears rolling, down his wan
checks crying: "Oh. my God! It snows! It
Miows!"' Out of the abundance that character
izes most of our homes may there go speedy re
lief to all whom this wiutsr finds in want and
exposure.
The Telescope and Microscope.
And now I propose tor your spiritual and
everlasting profit, if you will accept my guid
ance, to take you through some of these won
ders of crystallization. And notice first, God
in the littles. You may take Alpensto ck and
cross the Mcr dc Glace, the Sea of Ice, and as
cend Mont Blanc, which rises into the clouds
like a pillar of the great White Throne, or with
Arctic explorer ascend the mountains aiound
the North Pole and see glaciers 1,000 leet
high grinding against glaciers 3.000 feet liijh.
But 1 will take you on a less pretentious juur
ti"y and show you God in the snowflake.
There is room enough between its pillars for
the gieat JeLovab to stand. In that one
Irozen drop on the tip of your linger yon may
find the throne-room of the Almignty. I take
up the snow in uiv hand and seo the
coursers of celestial dominion pawing these
crys'al pavements. The telescope Is grand,
but I most confess that I am quite as much in
terested in the microscope. Ihe one reveals
the universe above us; the other, just as ere at a
univeise beneath us. But the telescope over
whelms me. while the microscope comforts me.
Vhatot; want and I want especially is a God
in littles. If we were seraphic or arch-antrelic
In our natures, we would want to study God in
the great; but such small, weak, short-lived
beings as you and I are, want to hud God in the
littles.
When I see the Maker of the universe giving
himself to the architecture of a snow Sake and
making its snalts. its domes its curves, iis
wall!-, its iriadialious so perlect, 1 conclude He
w ill look after our insignificant affairs. And if
we aic of more value than a sparrow, mo-t
ceitaitilywe are of more -value than an inani
mate snow flake. So the Bible would chiefly
impress us with God m the littles. It does not
s-av. Consider tho clouds," but ic say 6. "Con
sider the lilies." It does not say. "Behold the
tempests!" but. "Behold the fowl!" and it ap
pHuds a cup of cold water, and the widow's two
mitv-s, and says ihe hairs of your head are all
numbered. Do not leai, therefore, that you
are coins to be lost m the crowd. Do not think
that because you estimate your-elf as only one
.nowfljke among a three days' January snow
storm that jou will be forgotten. The
bir h and death of a drop of chilled
vapor is as certainly regarded by tho
Ixird as the creation and demolition
of a planet. Nothing is Dig to God and noth
ing is Mnall. What makes the honey industries
ol South Carolina such a source ot livelihood
and wealth? It is because God teaches the
ladr-hug to nuke an opening in the rind of the
apricot for the bee who cannot otherwise get at
the juice ol the fruit. So God sends the lady,
bug ahead to prepare the way for tho honey
bee, lie teaches the ant to bite each grain of
com that she puts in the ground for winter
food iu order that it mav not take root and so
ruin the little cranary. He teaches the raven
Jn dry weather to throw pebbles into a hollow
tree that ihe water far down and out of reach
mav come up within the reach of the bird's
lieak. What a coiurort that He is a God in
llUles!
Soruo Tremendous Snow Storms.
In March. IkSS. tho snow stopped America. It
aid to Brooklyn: "Stay homer to New York:
"Stay home!" to Philadelphia: "S.ay home!'
to Washington: "Stay homer' to Richmond:
jitay lionic!" It put into a white sepulcher,
most of this nation. Commerce whose wheels
never stopped before, stopped then. What
was the matter? Power or accumulated snow
flakes on tho top of the Apuenines one flake
Jails, and others tall, and they pile up, and
ttacv make a mountain of fleece on the top of a
mountain of rock, until one day a gust of wind,
or even the voice of a mountaineer, gets tho
lrozen vapors into action and by awful descent
tbev sweep everything in their course trees,
rocks, villages as when, in lb, the town of
Bqel in Valais was buried, and in 1624, in
Switzerland, 300 soldiers were entombed. These
avalanches were made up of single snowflakes.
What tragedies of the snow have been wit
nessed by the monks of St. Bernard, who, for
ages have with the dogs been busy in extricat
ing bewildered and overwhelmed travelers in
Alpine storms, the dogs with blankets fastened
to their backs and flasks of spirits fastened to
their ncck, to resuscitate tho helpless trav
elers, ouo of these dogs decorated with a
medal for having saved the lives of 12 persons
the brave beast himself slain of the snow on
that day when accompanying a Piedmontcse
courier on the way to his anxious household
down the mountain, the wife and children of
the Piedmontcse courier coming up the moun
tain in search of liim, an avalanche covered all
under pyramids higher than those under which
the Egyptian monarchs sleep their sleep of tho
ages.
W bit an illustration of the tragedies of tho
snow is found in that scene between Glencoo
and Glencreran ouo February in Scotland,
where Konald Cameron comes forth to bring to
his father's bouse his cousin Flora MacDonald,
for tho celebration of a birthday, and the calm
day turns into a hurricane of white fury that
leaves Ronald and Flora as dead, to be resusci
tated by the shepherds. What an exciting
struggle bad Bayard Taylor among the wintry
Appeuincs.
Decided the Destiny of Europe.
In tho winter of 1S12, by a similar force tho
destiny of Europe was decided. The French
army marched up toward Moscow 500.000 men.
What can resist them? Not bayoneis, but tho
dumb elements overwhelm that host. Napo
leon retreats from Moscow with about200,000
men, a mitrhty nucleus for another campaign
after he cets back tn Paris. The morning of
October 19, when they start for home, i bright
and beautiful. The air is tonic, and, although
tlii Russian campaign has been a tail ore.
Napoleon will try again m some other
direction with his host of brave surviving
Frenchmen. But a cloud comes on the sky,
and the air gets chill, and one of the soldiers
feels on his check a snow flake, and then
there is a multiplication of these wintry mes
sages, and soon the plumes of the officers are
decked with another style of plume, and then
all the skies let loose upon the warriors a hurri
caneof snow, and the inarch becomes difficult,
and tho horses find it hard to pull the supply
train, and the men begin to fall under the
fatigue, and many uot able to take another
step lie down in the drifts never to ne. and
the cavalrv horses stumble and fall, and 1,000 of
the arinv fall, and 10,000 perish, and 20.000 go
dow n. and 50.000 and 100.000, and a 120.000 and a
132.000 die, and the victor of Jena and bridce of
Lodi, and Evlau, and Ansterlitz where three
great armies commanded by three Emperors
surrendered tu him. now himself surrenders to
the snowflakes. Historians do not seem to rec
ognize that the tide in that man's lite turned
from December 10, 1S09, when be banished by
hideons divorce his wife Josephine from the
palace and so challenged the Almighty, and the
Lord charged upon him from the fortresses of
the skv with ammunition of crystal. Snowed
under! Billions, trillions, quadrillions, qnintil
lions or flakes did the work. And what a suz
gestion of accumulative power, and what a re
bnke to all of us who get disc mraged because
we cannot do much, and therefore do nothing.
"Oh," says some one, "I would like to stop
the farces of sin and crime that are marching
for the conquest of the nations: but I am no
body, I have neithor wealth nor eloquence nor
social power. What can I do?" Jly brother,
how much do you weigh? as much as a snow
flake? "Oh. yes" Then do your share. It is
an aggregation of small influences that will
3 et put this lost w orld back into the bosom of a
pardoning God. Alas that there arc so many
men and women who will not use the one
talent because they have not ten, and will not
cive a penny because they cannot give a dollar,
and will notspeak as well as they can because
they are not eloquent, and will not bo a snow
flake because they cannot be an avalanche.
Tho Usefulness of Sorrow.
Another treasure of the snow is the sugges
tion of the usefulness of sorrow. Absence of
snow last winter made all nations sick. That
snowless winter has not yet ended its disasters.
Within a few weeks it put tens of thousands
into the grave and left others in homes and
hospitals gradually to go down. Called by a
trivial name, the Russian "grip." it was an in
ternational plasue. Plenty of snow means pub
lic health. There is no medicine that so soon
cures the world's malarias as these white pel
lets that the clouds administer. Pellets small
enough to be homeopathic, bnt in such large
doses as to be allopathic and melting soon
enough to be hydropathic. Like a sponge every
flako absorbs unhealthy gases. The tables of
mortality in New Y'ork and Brooklyn imme
diately lessened when the snows of last Decem
ber began to fall. The snow is one ot the grand
est and best of the world's doctors.
Yes; it is necessary for the lauds productive
ness Great snows in winter are generally fol
lowed by great harve-ts next summer. Scien
tific analysis has shown that snow contains a
larger percentage of ammonia than the rain,
and hence its greater power of enrichment.
And beside that, it is a white blanket to keep
the earth warm. An examination of snow in
Siberia showed that it was a hundred degrees
warmer under the snow than above the snow.
Alpine plants perished in the mild winter of
England for lack of enough snow to keep them
warm. Snow strikes back the rich gases which
otherwise would escape in the air and be lost.
Thank God for the snows, and may those of
Febrifary be as plentiful as those of December
and January have been, high and deep and
wide and enriching; then the harvests next
July will embroider with gold this entire
American continent.
But who with any analogical faculty can no
tico that out of such chill as the snow comes
the wheat, without realizing that chilling sor
rows produce harvests of gracel The strongest
Christians, without any exception, are those
who were by bereavements or sickness or pov
erty or persecution, or all of them together,
snowed under, and again and again snowed
under. These snow storms of trouble! Thoy
kill tho malarias of the souL They drive us
out of worldly dependence to God. Call the
roll of all the eminently pious of all the ages
and you will And them the sons and daughters
of sorrow. The Maronites say that one
characteristic of the cedar tree is that when
the air is full of snow, and it begins
to descend, the tree lifts its branches
in a way better to receive the snow
and bear up under it, and I know
by much observation that the grandest cedars
of Christian character lift higher their branches
toward God when the snows of trouble are com
ing. Loid Nelson's cofliii was made out of the
masts of the ship L'Orient, in which he had
fought so bravely, and your throne in heaven,
O suffering child of God. will be built out of
conquered earthly disasters. What gave John
Bunyau such a wondrous dream ot the celestial
city? The Bedford penitentiary. What gave
Richard Baxter such power to tell of the
'Saints' Everlasting Rest" and give his im
mortal "Call to the Unconverted?" Physical
iliseae. which racked every nerve of his body.
What made George Whitrfield so mighty in
saving souls, bringing 10,000 to God when others
brought 100? Persecution, that caricatured
him all up and down England, and dead ver
min thrown in his face when be was preaching.
The Soul After It Is Forgiven.
Another treasure of the snow is the sugges
tion that this mantle covering tho earth is like
the soul after it is forgiven. "Wash me," said
the Psalmist, "and I shall be whiter than
snow." My dear friend Gasherie DeWitt went
over to Gcucva, Switzerland, for the recovery
of his health, but the Lord bad something bet
ter for him than earthly recovery. Little did I
think when I bade him good-bj one lovely
afternoon on the other side the sea to return to
America that we would not meet again till we
met in Heaven. As he lay one Sabbath morn
ing on bis dying pillow in Switzerland, the
window open, he was looking out upon
Mont Blanc Tho air was clear. That
great mountain stood in its robe
of snow, glittering in the morning
light, and my friend said to his wife: "Jennie,
lo von know what that snow on Mont Blanc
makes me think of? It makes me think that
the ligbteou-ness of Christ, and the pardon of
God cover all the s:us and imperfections or my
Me, as that snow covers up that mountain, for
the promise is that though our sins be as scar
let, they shall be as white as snow." Was not
that glorious! I do not care who you are. or
where you are. you need as much as I do that
cleansing, which made Gashier.e De Wlttood
while ho lived and glorious when be died. Do
not take it as the tenet ot an obsoleto theology
that our nature is corrupt. We must be
changed. We must be mauc over acain. The
ancients thought that snow water bad especial
power to wash out deep stains. All other
water mizbt fail, but melted snow would make
them clean. Well, Job had great admiration
lor snow, but bedeclaies m substance that it
he should wash his soul in melted sno.v, he
would still be covered with mud like a man
down in a ditch. (Job 8:S0). "If I wash my
self in snow water, and make my bands never
so clean, yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch
and mine own clothes shall abhor me." We
must be washed in the fountains of God's
mercy, before wo can be whiter than snow.
"Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord."
Oh, for the cleansing power!
If there be in all this audience ono man or
woman whose thoughts have always been
richt, and whoso woras always right, and
whose actions always richt, let such a one rise,
or if already standing, lift the right hand. Not
one! All we. like sheep, have gone astrav.
Unclean! unclean! And yet we may be made
whiter than snow, whiter than that which, on
a cold winter's morning, after a night of storm,
clothes the tree from bottom or trunk to top
of highest branch; whiter than tnat which, this
hour, makes the Adirnndacks and tho Sierra
Nevada and Mount Washington heights of
pomp and splendor fit to enthrone au archangel.
When baby was sick, we gave her Castoria,
When she was a Child, she ci led for Castoria,
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria,
When she had Childrtu.she gave them Castoria,'

MOVEMENTS IN TKADE
Few Signs of a Revival of Oar Jobbing
Interests Appear.
MONEY TIGHTNESS
Butter, Eggs and Provisions Declined Dur
ing the Week.
LIGHT HIDES STEADY, STEERS FIRM
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, J
Satdiiday, Feb. T. S
Xteview of che Week.
The first week of ITebruary as the last
week of January has proved a quiet one to
jobbers and commission men. The general
testimony of dealers in produce and cereal
lines is that trade is uncomfortably
quicf. "While there has been no radical
reduction in prices and in some lines there
has been an advance, the movement is slow.
Trade has not yet entirely recovered from
tho stringency of the money market. Confidenco
is quickly lost and slowly won again. The con
ditions are hero ror a business revival, with
the exception or faith.
Already signs begin to appear of returning
confidence, and onco fully restored there is lit
tle doubt of an active spring trade.
The only notable features of the week in pro
duce lines were the drops in creamery butter
and eggs, and the advancing tendency in
poultry, which has been very scarce tho past
week or two. Potatoes, onions and cabbage
have shown a tendency to lower prices. The
top-ot the potato market is 15c to 20c per
bushel below the highest point reached in the
early part of the winter. Apples are too near
oranges in price to sell as freely as in ordinary
seasons. When this staplo frnit climbs to $6
per barrel large nnmbeis of consumers Una it
convenient to refrain.
Tho Week's Itecord
at tho Grain Exchange shows light receipts
and few transactions. While demand is light,
corn, oatsand wheat have been moving to a
higher level, and the week closes with futures
very Aim. Retail grain and hay dealers report
a falling off iu sales smco the street improve
ments were checked up by the decision ot
courts. As receipts this week wero S8 cars less
than the previous week, and in view of tho up
ward tendency of prices in the West, there can
hardly rail to be stronger and more active mar
kets liere the week to come.
In the lino of provisions we record the first
drop for many weeks. Ihe enormous receipts
or hogs in Chicago, reaching to 50,000 head in a
singlo day, explains this decline. Saturday is
one of the quiet hog days in the Western
metropolis, and yet the receipts there to-day
w ere 35,000 and top price So 65.
Hides and Harness Leather.
The harness, leather and hide trade has de
veloped no new features dnring the week past.
The year thus far has shown au active demand
for harness leather. The Allegheny tanners re
port a larger volume of trade than for the cor
responding period of last year. The demand
has been most active for light and medium
weight leatner, where last year heavy weight
leather was most in demand. In cousequenco
of the heavy demand for the latter, our tanners
stocked up well with heavy leather, which is
new in least demand.
Buff bides are still quiet, and steer hides
fairly steadvat prices of last week. Sellers
are active filling orders, and are somewhat
firmer in their views. But whilo there is a dis
position to demand hieher prices, tanners re
fuse to give more. Following aro rates paid by
our hide dealers and tanners for green and

Heavy Rains Swell the Streams No Traffic
to Be Slovcd.
The heavy rain of Saturday showed itself
yesterday in the rising rivers, which had
reached 12 feet, with the volume of water
slowly increasing. The stage may reach 14'f eet,
lint it is doubtful, unless it should Tain again.
With plenty of water there Is little traffic mov
ing. Since the strike among the miners has
been in progress coal has been a" scarce article,
and littlo-has been shipped to Southern ports.'
The rivermen are outraged in bringing up emp
ties, and the Southsido bank 13 lined with iohs
of barges and coal boats.
The Sam Brown started down the stream
yesterday morning to meet the Harry Brown
on the wav np with a load of empties.
The H. C Bedford arrived from Wheeling
and is anchored at the wharf.
The regular Morgantown packet left in the
morning.
During the dull period on the rivers the pro
prietors of the boat stores are bemoaning their
fate. The business has been very slack, and
they hope, tho miners' strike will soon end.

Bears Have Their Own Way In the Future
Deals In Grain and Provisions Rush
to Soil May Wheat largo
Receipts of Fork.
CHICAGO-Tho bears were in suprenra con
trol ot speculation in the future deliveries of
wheat, corn, oats and provisions Saturday. At
the opening the pit was overflowing with sellers
of May wheat at 93Kc, and there were no buy
ers to speak of except from those who were
cutting prices o below SOKc. At 99c and
BSJic there was some buyers for a
second or ' two, but the uproarious
anxiety of tho sellers to dispose of
tho stuff made those who were inclined to buy
desist and tbey were rewarded for the exercise
of a little patience ny finding plenty for sale at
98 before trading had been over 10 minutes in
progress. Thore was reallv nothing in sight to
stop the decline but buying against puts and
the caution of somo shorts, who were apparently
willing to cry "enough" to a drop of o under
the closing price of the previous day. The
class of traders referred to had no reason to
regret their moderation, for 20 minutes later
they had an opportunity to put out their short
wheaKagain at 9Sc and in the course ot an
hour tbcreaf ter to buy it back again at 97Kc
The market for provisions was wciahted
down at the openins: by the very heavy receipts
for Saturday of 37,090 hogs, as advised from
thoyaids. The receipts at six Western points
to-day exceeded those at thpsame places a year
aso by 38,500 head. There wero numerous stop
orders of pork, with buyers scarce atSlO. There
was a decline to S9 80 and a subsequent ieco7ery
to S9 85, leaving a loss of 22c since the close
of Friday's session. Lard clo-ed at a decline
of 7Jc, and ribs round no considerable support
until a similar decline had been submitted tn.
The leading futures ranged as lollows, as cor

MINNEAPOLIS The market for the sale of
sample cars was weak and prices lower to-day,
but the most of the No. 1 Northern sold closer
to the prices of May than when both were
higher. Wheat was wanted, and whilo buyers
were disposed to wait for further breaks, the
competition continued good enough to hold
prices well up. After all the market was slow,
and as sellers had to accept less they com
plained of it. Wheat not wanted; for milling
was very dull. Whv it is that tho receipts con
tinue to run so much larger than last year when
so many pretended wheat experts among eleva
tor men. millers and farmers claimed there was
but littlo more to come when the new year
began, is a conundrum to the uninitiated
Farmers are also reported now to be selling

HOME SECTJBITIES.
A Big "Week on 'Change Electric CUmb
ing to the Old Level.
Electric was the attraction at tho Stock Ex
change all week, sales aggregating 11.259 shares
out of a total of all interests of 12.G15. The
buying was confined to a narrow circle, mainly
in the East, and the public was merely a looker-on
in Vienna,
Sales Saturday were 1,259 shares. It opened
at 16 and sold np to 17. weakened a trifle
after orders had been filled, and closed at 16
bid. The gain for-the week was over SS a share
Tho closo was abontSll bettor than tbe lowest
point touched during the decline. Reports
from the financial department of tho company
wpre uniformly favorable.
Trading in the rest of the list was of small
proportions. Closing prices, as compared with
those of the previous Saturday, show small
gains in Philidelpbia Gas. Switch and Signal
and Central Traction, and a Slight concession
in Luster and Now York and Clevelind Coal.
The Tractions about held their ground.
MONEY MA2KET.
Best "Week of the Year and No Breakers In
the Way.
Business made quite a bulge last week. Tbe
impulse was torward and through. Bant
clearings were nearly S50O.OOO greater than
those for tbe previous week. Confidence was
expressed on all sides that the upward move
ment would not only continue but receive
fresh impetus as tho season progressed.
The Clearing House report, which is a relia
ble index to the state of trade, furnishes evi
dence that bnsiness is no longer in the rut.
When to this is added the fact that tho only
thing menacing the prosperity of tbe city has
been lilted out of tbe slough of despond and
put on its feet, and that confidence is as con
spicuous for its presence as it was a short time
ago for its absence, it will be seen at once that
there is nothing in the way of steady and rapid
improvement in all liues of trade of which
Pittsburg makes a specialty.

The Usual Dullness In the bharo List and
Quietude in Bonds Chesapeake and
Ohio Strong Edison Electric
"Weak Small Changes.
New York. Feb. 7. In the buying of tho
early morning when the support was with
drawn, the usual dullness ensued and the
early publications of tho bank statement gave
the bears some time in which to hammer prises
without opposition of moment. Lackawanna,
however, yielded, and was the only stock
among the usually active list calling for
comment, the rest being quiet without
special movement. Among the specialties,
however, there was great strength shown by
the Chesapeake and Ohio stuck and Erie pre
ferred.wblle Edison General Electric developed
sudden and marked weakness, dropping trom
107 to 102 and afterward to 100. The market
shaded off until the close, which was. however,
fairly steady and dull at insignificant changes,
as a rule, from last night's figures. The loss in
Edison was 7 per cent, but Jersey Central rose
1; Chesapeake and Ohio firsu preferred, 1,
and tbe second preferred, .

If rlCTAI. TXLXOIIAH TO TUB DI3PATCH.1
NetvYobk, Feb. 8. To-day was a great,
day for the faith cure believers in Green
ville, Jersey City, who called noon Mrs.
Seth Bnrnham to congratulate her upon
her faith, that is able to cure
spine disease. A reputable physician
had been called in, and he had pronounced
that she, after her adventure under the feet
of a horse and the wheels of a wagon, would
be paralyzed, and even under most careful
medical treatment could not possiblv get
out under three mouths, if ever. Sister
Martha takes to her bed.
First, Pastor Hancock applies oil, with
an accompaniment of fervent prayer. A
big bump on her head disappeared half an
hour afterward. Then Sister Jackson .ap
plies oil with moistened fingers to
Sister Martha's chest. Her voice is
restored and is lifted up in
songs of praise. Her stiff neck
limbers. The same treatment was continued
all day to-day. Unbelievers are saying
that Dr. Hollister may have made a too
hasty diagnosis, and that Sister Martha may
not have been nearly so bad off as was at
first supposed.
