THE MARKETS.
Wnll .Street ltovlow.
New York, Feb. 14. The weakness of
Btocks pronounced today and permeat
ed every department of the market.
The decline was quite uniform In the
general list and a few of the high
speculative specialties broke severe
ly. There was little support and prices
went off easily and rapidly, pronounced
dullness following every symptom of
recovery. Few of the active stocks
escaped net losses of a point or more.
Much was said of the Cuban question
during the day but there was no spec
ific development that offered a new
motive for the selling. The bears took
advantage of the over-bought condi
tion of the market and the rather
long-sustained effort to support prices
to make an aggressive raid. The stock
dislodged by uncovered margins In
duced quite a heavy liquidation. The
bears had no difficulty In covering1 at
the decline without any marked rally
In prices. The total sales wero 404,900
sliaroH.

Such a course would have keenly disappointed thousands who had neglected to join the club
The case was laid before Dr. Ridpath, and he generously consented to our having another edition, but only one-half as manv
as the former one. But he insists that no more shall be sold at this price. - ,nanJ

yet it covers t thoroughly concisely
accurately .

and it'll be long pist bedtime before you lay it down and that's only treating it on the one side as a work of ahsorbiitg
interest as fascinating as a romance!
Perhaps its greatest value is as a reference work for as such it has been acknowledged the "best in any language of any
time." By reterence work we mean its use as an encyclopedia of information about every country past and present every
race and tribe of ethnic importance that has ever trod this earth from the beginning in short, every important event, as well
as the makers of events.
Its unique system of indexing a marvel qf interest In itself enables one to turn quickly to any subject or class of

No other history contains oneha!f as many
essential facts of the world's past
No other history ever recorded the progress of the Races of Mankind from the
beginning down to the present day in fact, there is no other history of mankind today
In any language. True, you can procure histories of some of the greater and a few
of the minor races separately partial records for the most part by various histo
rians. True, also, you can consult the encyclopedias for abstract facts and Incidents
of various times and countries, though no consecutive or accurate record can thus be
obtained except by the student. But in Ridpath's History of the World you read page
after page of the most delightful un-hlstory-like narrative in which is told connectedly
the story ot man from the original stock, through every one of the many ethnic
branches of the black, the brown and the ruddy races till without effort of memory,
you've a clear idea of all the existing branches of the great Human Family as well
as the paths they've followed down the centuries from the beginning.
You'll know why some nations have declined why others have risen why
others are yet destined to rise and fall. You'll read of every important incident in
every nation's history ot every age with no cumber? " rwfary detail.
