theory that anything was better than deAth by

The bears attacked several stocks in turn,

last it was suJ that tho bears sold 5000 shares
in the last hour. II SO, the stock was taken

The leading produce markets were more act

seemed heavy, and holders we're anxious to get
out The depression was supposed by some tobc
started by the report that stocks were demoral-
lied in New York, while others thought that it
was chiefly due to II. X. Jackson's estimate
that British India has raised about $50 coo 600 bu
wheat this year. Another reason named was
the open winter, which has added Il great deal
TO the feeding capacity of the country-left
alive about all the pigs that have
been dropped thus far, and awakened
fears for tho integrity of tho packed product
after warm weather comes next spring. Itwas
that hog product has sold very low
after an open winter, and that grain graded very
poorly at the same TIME, Hence the air was full
OF bear influences. The pressure was greatest
OH January provisions and grain, great deal Of
which had been carried over from two or three
mouths ago, when 1t was bought at much higher
prices than now. The hcldeFs not only wanted
TO provide Saturday for the deliveries of two
weeks hence, but they we're .averse to turning
over into subsequent months. Hence there was
not much widening Of the February premium.

ONLY A FLOWER.


Only flower with light leaves, twirled
Along the busy street;
Only flower, crushed and whlrled
Beneath the tramp OF feet
Only hower-a fafr, frail thing
Lost on the wayside high:
Only Hover OF early spring.,
III beauty left to die.
Only flower. We merely glance
At the smile OF Summers morn,
That lives for an hour, a day perchance-
AT evening soiied and torn.
Only flower that decked tho hair
,Of one III brides array;
Only IL flower thar pcrished there,
The close Of that uupiiM day.
Only flower wreathed the breast
Where Death had left his STUN;
Only u Hover wAs laid to rest,
TO molder with the slain
Only flower ubps6n her tomb
Is left to mark the spot:
Only u Hover DER us will bloom
When we shall be forgot
