10 aj Pos. reporter this afternoon: MY
iather d a very sick man. There Is no
use in longer denying the fact. Wehaye
made every effort to keep the true facts
from the public, because We knew as soon
as 1t should become known he was dam
gerously i'll there would be hundreds Of
letters coming in with every mail and this
would only, excite him and make his case
less hopeful. My father has had little

terday and we hope to get him up again
to-day, but he is suffering constant pain
in his ears and head. For any facts con-
cerning the nature Of his disease j refer
you to his physicians. The doctors who
are attending him are DR.. FordyceB Barker,
DR.. j. II. Douglas and Dr.. ii. B. Sands, OF
this city, and DR.. 4. NJ. Merker, of Phila-

Dr. Douglas said: ~ am in no wise

that appeared In the Medical Journal last
week. Two days before the report was
published ! had q conversation with DR..
Sands at General Grant, house. AS are
suit Of the conversation we both decided
that the cancerous growth at the root OF
the tongue was hardening and steadily
growing worse. A Amicroscopical examina-
ton by an expert proved beyond doubt
that the case was o malignant epithetical

that he will recover. Heis breahngalown.
but has displayed much courage. In less
than aimonth he has done as much as six
or eight hours work day, but he has had
little sleep for the past eight days. We
have tried to keep the knowlege Of his true
condition from the General, because he
had so many other troubles to
bear. ! have all along maintained
his trouble was from cancerous
growth of,the root OF the tongue, caused
undoubtedly by excess in smoking. Every
time he speaks, or breathes, or eats, this
cancer Is disturbed It is difficult to treat
II for that reason. There have been tines
when the growth has been temporarily
checked, but il never has been arrested
and Is steadily increasing. There has been
considerable loss oftissne OF thesoftp palate
He takes nourishment every day in liquid

he has. lost all his teeth. They were ex-

neuralgia, Is not that pure and simple, but
Is the reflection pain caused by the cancer
in the throat. He may live for months yet
as men suffering from this disease have
done, but l do not think thereis any hope
that he ever will recover" ~ 8

WOO.

BosroS, Feb. 2s. The Adttrtiser In Its
weekly review Of the wool trade says: a a
feature q the market well defined is that
holders are not pressing their stocks for
sale, This may be in part owing TO the
commission houses sustaining the market
BY reason OF advances and by shippers in
the country holding on to their woods
with their customary determination. It
Is noticeable, however, that in Ohio one
or two large lots have been moved at aec,
which have been previously held at 3Se.
I'VE hear Of the sale Of small clip. of G,000
lbs. of7SSSand SXSNX. .at37c on this muir
ket, whichSwe do, NOT include in the sales
as il was not reported, but IL would not
shrink over 40 percent. Fine Territory
iwools are in demand and sell readily on o
basis of52a59e, although some sales have
been made on a basiseof 55a57c. Buyers
now only offer 52a5Sc, and they claim TO
have taken ordessfor goods expecting TO
get their wools at 4sa50c. There Is very
little good Michigan remaining on the
market. Not much Texas wool remains.
New spring wool will not be here for 9
couple Of months. It will have to be sold
about upon q basis OF 45a47c for six or
eight months, growth and 50a55c for years
growth. Combing woods are firmly held.
Pulled woods are rather easy, excepting
the combing grades. q

| To BradStTsa,l from leading commercial
centres convey. as d whole more en-
couragement as to the outlook for the dis
tribdtion Of merchandise in the early
future thanshas been reported oflate. The
adyiees do not permit Of the formation Of
abasis for q belief in the near approach Of
a genuine trade revival, whether that de-
sirableendibe at hand or not, but they do
mark the practical end of the blockade Of
railway traffic, thus permitting the free
and speedy shipment q goods as well as
several well defined evidences of'need for
and q beginning ofispring purchases by IN
terror jobbers and Others. !
AT New York there is small gain in
sales Of dry goods but still larger increase
Of hopeiulnesB by agents and Others, owing
/ 10 the presence Of more interior mer-
chants and their representatives than be-
iorethis year. But sales, while exceed.
ing those OF the preceding week, are still
behind those of the like week in 1884.
Thereis little improvement, II any, in
hardware, none in iron, and the grocery
trade Is plainly unsatis actory. The Bos-
ton cotton icle eths trade is ,disapp pointing,
being smaller, and there Is an outlook for
the stoppage of some Eastern mills this
spring. Some lines Of prints and sheet
ings have been cut in price. There L. .,
gain In the Southern movement thence Tor
boots and shoes, and the advance OF one
half to one and q half cents for upper
leather is well sustained. Woolen mills
are less depressed than cotton, but the de
mand is small. at Philadelphia sales for
nearby wants continue attributed 10 the
slow opening Of spring trade elsewhere.
At Chicago the milder weather has
not improved trade, and the decline IN
wheat further, ,depr resses the Quito there.
rst. Louis reports that improved transpor-
tation, and low stocks held in the interior
promise sales, and merchants feel moder-
ately, hopeful. At Cincinnati buying BY
country merchants has increased slightly,
and the funds are accumulating there
from better collections. There has been
some gain in general jobbin9 lines at
Cleveland, and q feeling OF confidence IN
circles is noted. From st
Paul and Minneapolis come the brightest
trade reports, the actual volume OF busi-
ness there being on tie increase, icollee-
tons fair, and country. storekeepers hay.
ing but small stocks. Indianapolis and
Detroit traders haye experienced Q feeling
~ greater Sonad in tie outlook though
no increase in sales is reported. The Lead
ing commercial markets have, withthe
exception Of that for wheat and flour,
shown some increased activity.

States during the last week reported 70
Brddstreefs. as compared with 254 in the
