at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Shortly afterwards he rallied
a little, but soon relspsed into total uncon-

euced little if any physical suffering, and
to day he was wholly without pam.
Mrs. Seymour, who is very i'll, sat with
her husband during the afternoon. Most OF
the time the Ex-Governor rested peacefully
and his condition could only be distin'
puished from natural sleep by the ashen
psllor OF his countsnauce, and his labored
breathing.
At halfpast eight he was sinking rapid

difficult He expired without a struggle

Business Only Moderately Improved
Bradstreet's Barometer.
NEW YORK, February l2.-Special tele-
grams to Brsdstreet's repeat previous
weeIA' advices respecting unfavorsble
weather and more or less impossible coun-
try roads, both of which had marked ef'
feet in depressing trade. The feature is
that Of reported moderate improvement
in,business st Norfolk, Cleveland, Milwsu'
,kee, Kansas City, Dubuqe and Pitsburg.
Thisis not particularly significant tinsomuch
as the gain at Cleveland is characterized
as fair movement Of goods only, while
that at Pittsburg does not appear to be any
more pronounced. Kansas City furnishes
q most emphatic statement as to better
trade with increasing activity. Beyond
these more favorable features the 6rmness
noticed in brown and bleached cotton
goods, at fractional advance in price,
calls for comment Dry goods commits
sion houses report fair trade ard firm
market. At Chicago there is heslthful
increase in volume Of sales over those at
the corresponding period last year. II
appears to be generally held, however, that
the spring trade will not open before
March l. In the wool market there is
continuance OF the frmness OF holders and
steadiuess in prices heretofore reported,
but no new features. Spot cotton at New
York is off about &c on the week, and the
market is generally weak, owing to the
light demand, declining exports and re-
sistance Of Liverpool to domestic views as
to prices.
There is no change in pig iron prices or
demand. Old rails are lower and less firm.
Steel rails are quoted 30 cents and 81 oe.
low the late extreme high prices at mills.
Grocery staples are inactive, the movement
Of sugar tea and coffee being behind that
of last year; prices are unchanged; dairy
products nominal with export movement
checked. Wheat has developed un
expected trade in the face Of
light decline in visible supply and an in.
crease in quantity stoat for Europe where

Of the winter sown crop will now become
