Trade circles were generally very quiet to-day,
and there was scarcely so much buoyancy and
frmness, though there was no disposition to force
sales. Cotton was quiet, while at the Produce
Exchange the markets were almost at a complete
stand. Flour was nominally quiet, as was like
wise wheat; but while prices were nominal, in
the absence Of sales Of moment, there
was no disposition to press sales, SO that prices
could scarcely be called lower. Indeed, samples
Of prime Spring were largely withdrawn as soon
as 1t became evident that there were no buyers
save on a decidedly lower basis. Corn was without
movement and prices were nominal, the tendency
being downward. There was an active movement
in oats which carried prices up fully 1c per bushel
whiskey was in more demand and decidedly
higher. Freights were comparatively quiet, but
rates were unchanged. Tonnage was still scarce
and charters few III number Provisions were quiet
as a general thing, but the markets were firm.
Lard was dealt in to o considerable extent for
future delivery, ut full prices. Cotton In mod

TO THE PUBLIC,

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by PERRY
DAVIS & SON has won for itself reputation I'M
surpassed in medicinal preparations The uaiuer-
salty Of the demand for the Pain Killer is novel;
interesting and surprising feature in the history of
this medicine. The Pain Kill is now regularly sold
in large and steady Increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory of the
Union, and every Province in British America, put
to Buenos Ayers, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru Chill, amp
other South American States, to the Sandwich
England and Continental Europe; to Mozambique,
Madagascar, Zanzibar, and other African lands; to
Australia, and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places
in India. 1t has also been sent to China, and we
doubt if there is any foreign port or any in
land city in Africa Asia, which is freauented by
American and European missionaries, travellers or
traders, into which the Pain Killer has not been
introduced.
The ertent gifts usefulness is another great feat
ure Of this remarkable medicine 1t is not only the
best thing known everybody will confess for
bruises, cuts, burns &C., but for dysentery or cho
era, any sort of bowel complaint, it is remedy
surpassed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In
the geat cities OF British India and the West India
Islands md other hot climates it has becom the stand
ard medicine for all such complaints well as dys-
pepsia liver complaint, and other kindred disorders
For coughs and colds canker, asthma and rheumatic
difficulties it has been proved by the most abundant
and convincing trials and testimony, to be invalu
able medicin The proprietors are in possession of
letters from persons Of the highest character and re-
sponsbiity, testfying in unequivocal terms to the
tod,
an endless variety Of cases by the use of this great
medicine That the Pain Killer is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it is amply proved by the
unparalleled popularity it has attsined 1t is sure
and effective remedy. 1t is sold in almost eyerv
country iu he world, and is becoming more and
more popular eyely year. Its healing properties
have been fully tested all oyer the world and it need
only to be known to be priced.
Sold by all Druggists. jy18sneod&w1

JUDGING from the press reports, the pro-
Lowell, Wednesday, were not Of a character to
secure the endorsemement of sensible men.
The enactment of a ten hour law was the
principal topic discussed, though the resolu-
tions considered ranged from the reported
surveillance of our war vessel Shenandoah
over the stolen gunboat of the Spanish COM
munists near one of the ports of that country,
to the condemnation of the salary steal.
which, out of consideration of Gen. Butler,
was strangled. Generally speaking, ten
hours a day is enough for man to
work, too much for a woman or child, but
we think reasonable men see that any
enactment recognizing that time as a
days work would only add another to
the many statutes that are constantly
violated. The ten hours of labor and the
pay therefor is matter that will naturally
be fixed between employer and employee, and
one that no statute can regulate. The pur-
pose of the Convention on the part of its
managers was to aid Gen. Butler. In the
regular Convention they did not deem it pru-
dent to offer his name, as some were opposed
to it and it might injare his chances. Gov.
Washburn. however, his acknowledged com
petitor, was severely criticised and resol,l-
ton passed denouncing him for removing the
members of the Labor Bureau, which, it
may be added, he did not do, simply nomnat-
ing another board when the term of the old
expired.
In a mass meeting in the evening at the
last moment, Gen. Buffers managers rushed
through resolution expressing confidence
in him and pledging their support in case of
his nomination. This was as far as Gen.
Buffers managers dared to go and is proba-
bly, just what he instructed them to do.
