New York, Feb. 18. The tone of the speculation wns doubtful and hesitat ing in Wall street today and a largo preponderance of tho day's dealings weie in Sugar nnd the Grangers. Nearly sixty per cent, of the total transactions were in these stocks. Coupled with the fact that the total sales of all stocks showed a marked decrease from the recent nverngc, the large proportion absorbed toy these spe cialties formed a. significant comment ary upon the condition into which the market has fallen. After the opening weukness, due to sympathy with Lon don, and some other foreign exchanges, had been overcome. It looked as though the strength radiating from the Grang ers had prevailed In the 'market, but the increasing weakness of Sugar cou pled with a fall In the prices of local New York specialties in the final hours was a decisive factor in driving prices below lost night's lever. The radical utterances made In the course of the debnte precipitated In tho senate on the Maine disaster also engendered dis trust In the minds of speculators, nnd prompted liquidation. Business on tho decline wns by far the most animated of any during tho day. Tho total sales w ere 351,500 shares. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN ALLEN & CO., stock brokers, Jlcars building, room 7)j-70fi.

Way Allcctcd by the Maine Disaster Hnvo in tho lUnttcr ot Stock Speculation. New Yoik, Feb. 18. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade. The dreadful disaster to tho Maine, much as it has affected all the hearts has not much affected' business. Only In tho block market, where there was selling on Wednesday by speculatms on thin mnrglns, but In no other specula tive miiket was an effect felt, nor In geneinl business. An advance of 10 per cent. In wages by some gogeblo mines Is expected to be general throughout the lake legion, excepting the MesabI district, and prices of ore from the other ranges this year hao neon advanced 15 per cent, with an al lot of C.000,000 tons outside Carnegie mines, which betokens an output much the largest ever known. Wheat has risen 3 cents and ox ports continue so heavy that a ma teilal advance Is natural. Atlantic exports In three weeks have been S.41C, 4'." bushels, Hour Included, against 5,261,871 last e.ir and Pacific exports hae been 247B,6;.,, against 1.474,S.2 last year. Such .shipments, with heavy cngT,'ements for the future In spile of IMIO.SJl bushels coin exports against 12.502,12t buhcls in the same week last jcar, are conclusive pi oof of the urg ency of foreign needs. Wheat leceipts hold up well, though' not exceeding last j ear's a much ns exports, in thieo weeks 7,775,560 bushels, against 4,SSi,ri0 last voir. The bottom fact Is that the world iioeels wheat which this countiy can only supply for about six months to come. Cotton has held unchanged for spot, though' a little lower for op tions, piospeets of decieasa In the next yield being the main upport. The lion output Feb. 1 with repot ts of stocks on hand not held by the great steel companies Indicates consumption nt least 3,000 tons per week greater In January than the previous maxi mum attained In November, lKC. TI13 ptoduction is at present greater than consumption, stocks having' increased U.lOt; tons weekly In January outside the steel companies, whose Btocks pre sumably decreased. Some weakness In pig would naturally result, but while Grey Forge has declined at Pltts buig to $8.90 with southern Iron offered nt Chicago at concessions, no changes nppear In products. Though new busi ness has been bomewhat disappointed, tho worKs aie mainly supplied for months ahead. In building of steel cars, In black sheets for tinning, in icds, wire and wlie nails, increased demand and heavy business appear, though bar and pipe are weaker, and structural orders seasonably slow. Minor details have advanced, tin to 14.20 cents on considerable consuming demand, copper to 11 for lako on heavy exports, and lead to 3.S0 and spelter to 4 10 cents, to speculation, but failure to otganlze the tin pool causes weakness, Ameilcan selling at $3 and lower at the west. In the cotton manufacture produc tion Is restilcted by stilLes and some grades aro a 1 hade dearer. The recent opening of higher grade woolens nt ad vanced prices meets less demand than was expected with les"H activity in low er grades anil unexpectedly numerous cancellation In light weights, indicat ing larger buying than consumption bus jet wan anted. Failures for the week have been 241 in the United States asalnst 30., Inst car and 35 In Canada ugalnst 50 lust year. Am. Sug. Re'g Co ..l.fi'4 Atch., To & S re ..12, A., T. .t S. F l'r .. SCHi Am.

"When flvo years old my Httlo boy had scrofula on hla face, bands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although, tho nore3 on his cheeks and hand wero very bad. It appeared In tho form of red pimples which would feste.r, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing' they would break out again. They caused inteiiBe itching and the little sufferer had to bo watched continually to keep him from scratching' the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and tho only medlcino which had hclpd her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. Wo decided to givo Jt to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sareaparllla tho humor had all been driven out ot his blood and It has never since returned." William Baktz, 410 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.

A Small PostoUict! Wns found Under n Minrk. From Harper's. The Itrltlsh cutter Spanow, com manded by Captain Wylle, while cruls: lng off Cape Tlburon, In the Island of San Womlngo, chased and overhauled an American brig, the cat go of which, together with certain other circum stances, gave rise to such a suspicion that she was enemy's propel ty that Captain Wylle thought It best to tend her to Port Royal for examination. The Yankee captain, not In tho least dismayed, swore so positively as to the truth of his ship's papers, which he pioduced, that the admiralty couit was at length persuaded to set hiin free, whereupon he Immediately began an action for demunage against Captain Wylle for having taken him. About this time Lieutenant Fltton, of the navy (who was then a midship man In command of a small tender), arrived at Port Royal, went on hoard the Sparrow to pay a visit to 'Wylle. He found the captain In very low spir its over the pending suit, and greatly depressed at the Idea of the ruinous damages that It seemed certain would be awarded against him on account of the American. ntton, however, on learning the name of the captain of the brig, ad vised Wylle not to worry, and stated that he could piove that the brig was yet a good prize. He then went on to explain that while cruising In his ten der near the place whei'e the Sparrow had overhauled the brig, and very shottly after that time, his sailors had caught a larze shark. He was very much surprised on hearing one of the men employed In cutting the fish open cry out: "Stand by for your letters, my boys, for here's the postman come on board," at the same moment hand ing out a bundle of papers from the shark's stomach. They were only slightly damaged by the gastric Juices of the fish, and FItton kept them. Up on examination he discovered that they were the real papers of the Ameri can, which he had thrown overboard when he became hard pressed, and which had been promptly sw allow ed by the shaik. The papers proved beyond question that the cargo was French.
