Prices on the Stock Exchange opened yesterday
morning at even lower figures than they had
reached on the previous day. The whole list de
eliDed from one to six per cent amid gloomy fore
holdings of greater evil Numerous reasons were
given for the decline, one being that dis
solution of the Grinnell injunction by Judge
BlatchfOrd had allowed the precipitancy Of
= vast amount Of Lake Shore and Western Union
upon the market. Subsequently there was a reac-
tion of the general list from one to nine per cent,
and at the close of business most buoyant feeling
prevailed. The reaction attributed to the pay
ment of the New-York Central dividend despite the
stories of the previous day. and to rumOrs that Com
mOdore Vanderbilt had made arrangements whereby
he was TO receive large amount of ready money
with which to "bull the market. 1t was further
reported that arrangements had been made whereby
the stock held for the account Of Grnnell d Co. by

RUMORs.
Much of the interest of the street conferred yeser-
day in the Office of MessTs. Duncan Sherman d Co,
the transfer agents of the New-York Central Rail-
road Company who were paying the usual dividend.
Clerks and messengers awaited to receive their
checks, and found long lines extending around tho
Office Several hundred Thousand dollars were paid
ont during the day.
In addition to the other stories concerning the
Vanderbilt stocks there were Tumors that the Lake
Shore Railroad would pass" its next dividend, that
is fail TO pay it, 1t was also reported that in order
to take up the Union Trust Company's loan and to
pay the floating Indebtedness, the Company would
issue a new mortgage, but none of these rumors
were confirmed.
II having been rumored that, among other effects
of the panic would be the stoppage OF work on the
donble track now under construction by the New
York Central Railroad Company, a TRIBUNE re-
porter yesterday called Commodore Van
derbilt to ascertain the facts. The Commo-
dore said that there was no foundation for
the rumor; that the work of building the
double track was going on the same as ever with
out interruption or delay from the panic or any
other cause All the land that required to be pur-
chased for the Improvement has been secured, and
the work is being pushed rapidly is practical
The new track has been graded a large portion of
the distance, work having been begun simul-
taneously on all sections of the road. The building
of the new track was begun last Spring, and is eX-
pected to be completed by December, 1874.

Perhaps no event during the panic has caused so
much feeling against delinquent brokers as the
bankruptcy proceedings in the case of George Bird
Grinnell d Co. and the injunction granted by Judge
Blatchford restraining their creditors from enforc
ing their contracts. This injunction, which practi-
cally locked up about 10000 shares OF STOCKS was
REGARDED as the primary cause of the relapse noticed
IN Yesterdays TRIBUNE. Instead of allowing an
immediate and bealthful liquidation, ii was alleged
that if suspended operations with large number OF
dealers and prevented them from realizing IN
accordance with the rules of the Exchange. The
main thing complained of, however, was that IL
caused large number of foreign bankers to WITH
draw their money from active use in loans On STOCK

tracts would be indrfered with if the bankrupt law

A few words on Rheumatism {!
OR HOW BECAME ENGAGED in THE
UNIVERSITY MEDICINES.

Some eight years ago, (atter returning from the
sickly climate of Southern China was attacked
with Rheumatism, and for four years was unable to
dress myself and most of the time my suffering was
so great that would have given all possessed or the
wealth of the world if l had it, to be relieved from
my sufferings. l tried all remedies knew or could
hear of but received no benefit. had about given
up in despair when received one of the University
books. l thought it a humbug at first, but after
arefu perusal it looked so reasonable like drown
ing man catching to straw, sent for the medicine,
and in week after commenced taking it 1 felt
some relief. In one month could move about with
ease, and at the end of two months was perfectly
cured. l tried the medicine several Others af-
ficted with Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Dropsy &C., with
the same beneficial effect. After testing the medi
cine to my satisfaction and finding ii far superior to
any other medicine for all chronic diseases, obtain
ed the general agency for the State of Maine and
New Brunswick and moved to Portland some three
years ago. And of the thousands of patients l have
treated have met with almost universal success
do not expect to cure all. and when see patient
that think cannot cure tell them so, for above
all other denominations there is greater than to
deceive and rob the sick. As there are thousands
suffering with rheumatism / wish to impress the
minds of such to not despair; their case is cur
able. When 1 can see the patient and apply the
direct Mediator can relieve the rain in few min
utes, and by taking the University Medicines. III NOT
cured in month there will be great relief and it
must be very stubborn case that cannot cure in
two months. Why dwell much on Rheumatism
1 know too well how to sympathize with those that
are its Victims and know they can be cured. If
the above statement with the following certificates is
not enough to sufficiently satisfy those that are suf
fering with it, God help them. trr T..
