THE MARKETS.
Wnll Hlroet Review.
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.

Business in . 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.

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Curo
Was Effected.
"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."

You can buy Hood's flarsaparilla ot all

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.
The two officers went Immediately to
Kingston with this new and most im
portant evidence, but no further In
vestigation of the matter was neces
sary, for the captain of the brig was
so overwhelmed upon heating the cir
cumstances, which he icgarded as a
visitation from heaven for his perjur
ies, that he hurriedly escaped from the
Island, and the vessel, after all, was
condemned to the Spairovv. Wylle re
celved for his share of the prize money
something over 3,000 Mr. FItton sent
the jawbones of the shatk to the ad
miralty court at Jamaica, vvhete they
still remain.
