NEW YoRK, Feb. 6.-The market opened
lower and was dull and weak for the first
two hours. Western Union leading the de-
cline to 76 on heavy sales by the old bear
party. About noon tho traders advanced
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western 1 per
cent. in few minutes, and this advanced the
whole market, which continued strong up to
the close under lead of Delaware, Lackawanha,
and New York Central, which were bid up
by the big traders.
After the break in Western Union sustain-
ing orders were sent in to keep it up. The
features of to-day's trading were Delaware,
Lackawanna, and Western Union. Other
active stocks were Reading, Northwestern,
st. Paul and Union Pacific.
In bonds little was doing, but the West
Shores were strong and higher on excellent
buying.
Leading investment houses report very
largely increased demand within the past two
days for good railroad bonds. For round lots
prices are / and 2 higher than the board quo
tations; Ia was bid yesterday for 100000
main line Texa and New Orleans Sabine
divisions; this is 2 per cent. above stock ex-
change quotations
Sage said it would benefit the market to let
prices of little, but he would advise against
short sales.
Gould is extremely bullish on Western
Union Missouri Pacific, and Wabash.
Some brokers thought that the big bull
leaders had allowed the bears temporary con-
troll, and the bearish room traders congratu-
lated themselves that they had forced the
market down. and that Gould had sold the
market literally while bidding up Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy.
The Chicago Tribune to-day says that the
withdrawal of the Rock Island road from the
Northwestern Traffic association means that
that road is going to demand full third
interest in all business between st. Paul and
Minneapolis.

A story or the War.

Ir, a South Nashville street car few days
ago two or three gentlemen were talking
about cases of mortal agony where the suffer-
ing became something SO great that the cases
were mentioned whore, under tho pressure
OF pain, tho victim had begged to be Killed.
" 1 wonder whether anybody ever killed a
person under these circumstances to get them
out of misery" said tho reporter.
said prominent lawyer of this city, who
was on tho car: Let me tell you something.
Just after one of tho bloody battles of tho late
war the confederate army was retreating.
Under q tree by the roadside sat poor con.
iederate soldier shot in half dozen places,
with both legs and both arms broken. Ho
was crying out in his terrible agony, begging
some one for Gods sake to kill him and end
his sulGrlngs. A company of Louisiana
Tigers was pushing by, and one of them,
hearing the cries, stepped out of the ranks
and drew the largo knife he carried at his
side Tho wounded soldier was slender,
middo-aged man and no whlslSers except a
small goatee Taking him by the goatee, the
"Tiger" raised his head and cut his throat
from ear TO ear wiped tho bloody blade on
tho grass, and stepped back into his place,
leaving the dead soldier leaning against a
tree"

s12j.
The previous works of this author uatu-
rally would lead one TO anticipate a book Of
decided excellence, not only as to tho plot Of
the story, but as to tho method of telling it.
This anticipation is not realized. The
story, while containing some dramatic
Enthusiastically the flight of the heroine
from her husbands house with her Irish
lovor; the communication to her husband of
the fact Of her elopement, and the vengeance
wrought by tho husband, OF which sho
is tho victim-is carelessly told, and there
are inconsistencies and lack of
attention to detail which ought not to be
found In the work Of an author of Mr. Craw-
fords reputation. His "Dr Claudius' was
production which at once placed him in tho
front rank OF novelsts, and IL is only by
maintaining the standard he attained in that
work that ho can retain his hold upon the
reading public. Possibly ho has been too
anxious in the turning out of his books, and
has written ITO Leeward" hurriedly. IL cer-
tainly gives evidence of hasty construction,
and the presentation of another book show
ing such haste and lack of care and attention
will cost the author the good reputation he
earned by his former works.

PEORIA.

The Peoria Democrat on New Years
Day published an excellent review Of the
business Of that city for 1883, from which
we take few figures. Peoria, which by
The census of 1880 had 10000 inhabitants,
now claims 5000, We believe. Her CHEF
business is connected with her dsllleries,
Of which she has twelve with capacity
of 8 600 bushels OF grain per ,isy, or about
IS. 900 gallons Of hIghwnes. During the
past year, however, by pooling arrange.
ment among the dis,illers, the Peoria con-
Germs were run to but halt their capacity,
producing 100000 gallons, about the
same as the year before, upon which lhsy
paid $l3,000,000 of internal revenue.
The entire business of the city, as midi
Gated by the bank clearIngs, was but a
irlflc larger than in 1882, the foolings be-
ing $54,00O,00O against $53,o00,000 In
1882.
A continued growth in the grain trade
of the city Is reported, the receipts for the
year just closed being 23,400,000 bushels,
and the shipments 193300O0 bushels, an
Increase of 100000 bushels over the pre-.
ceding year.
The general prosperity Of the city is
also largely evidenced by the amount of
building during the year, which toots up
in the neighborhood of a million dollars,
including new hotel at cost of $500, 900,
a Congregational church at cost of $780,.
600. a Methodist church at $4,000, q Ma

of one OF the great cities of the west, on a
