Chicago,
Special to the Globe

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-There was a fair
amount of business transacted the banks
to-day, although dullness was still manifest.
There is no great uplifting power manifested
in any direction, aud it does not look as
though there would be right away. The ter
rible weakness in wheat exerts a kind of
sickening influence on all commercial pros
poets, and good many who were looking
and hoping for better things are becoming
somewhat discouraged at the outlook. New
York exchange was quoted at 25c discount,
with good outside demand. Orders for cur
rency shipments were fair and receipts light.

Eerer 10 BE- Decided.

From the Greenvi!le (Ga.) Vindicator.
NJ. Willie Gerard Of Epson County has
q goodly number Of goats, among them two
majestic billies, one black and the other
white. lie says they had been fighting sew
eral days, apparently TO decide which was
the champion butter" One evening the
black was missing, and Il was supposed the
white had conquered him aud the vaDquished
lad gone to the Old range. Eleven days
after Mr.. % u Hucgaby was plougbing near
an old drv we'll on the premises, and happen
ing 70 look into the well discovered tie miss
ing billy walking around al the bottom, thir-
ty-six feet below the surface. Perhaps he
was Knocked hy Master White down the
well. TIE goat was drawn out and put on
the ground. Taking one look az the well be
ran Of a. if for life, perhaps thinking that
z dangerous place for goats 70 fgnt around.
IS soon as he met the white they renewed
The coz bat. and continued without inter-
mission al night, and the contest Is not yet
decided, though the black laid In the well
eleven daTs without food OF drink.
