EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: In relation
TO the notice published in the REPUBLICAN, of
yesterday morning TO the effect that Dr. Z. b.
Rankin had been expelled from the Washing
on Homeopathic Medical Society for selling
medicines patented by him, &c, 1 wish to
make the following statement:
Iapplied for membership and was received
into the society about two years ago. In No
vember, 1886, rendered my resignat Ion, which
was accepted. With Its acceptance all relations
between the society and myself were severed,
II ceasing from that date TO have any control
over me or my actions, therefore the steps
taken by 1t in the meeting held on December
z, byp preamble and resolution criticising my
conduct, was wholly without right or warrant
on its part, its action being both ex parte and
extra judicial, The right and proprety of eS-
pelling ono who was not a member of tho So
cCty must be apparent TO all.
If the honorable members think such Il
course useful to them or their cause let them
keep on. The hands that throw the mud are
smiTched not mine,
In reference to revoking my license this Is q
very harmless action and in no way interferes
with my right to practice medicine, as under
the diploma which hold no man or body OF
men can "resolve" this right and privilege
away from ne.
shall still continue to practice my profess
sion in spite OF the action OF the society, which
is nothing more or less than a professional
boycott. Very respectfully. your obedient SER
want, L. d. RANKIN, NJ. D.,

EFFECT OF THE STRIKES.
Result OF Seasons business in Excess
of Any Previous Year.

Charles s. Damrell, inspector Of buildings OF
Boston, has asked inspector Entwisle's opin-
ion as TO the effect Of the strikes upon the
building interests Of this city" His reply is as
follows:
"In answer to. your inquiry, would state
that all work on buildings was suspended for
six weeks, beginning May g. 1885. The effect
was lbeing ut q time that a number OF large
buildings were in the hands Of architects) to
drive off a large number Of persons oontem-
plating, In most cases, the erection of rst-class
dwellings, Tho suspension had for o time a
serious effect on all classes OF business. While
building operations were suspended the brick
makers continued to turn out large quantities
Of brick. The effect was that the price OF
bricks, on accovnt Of the large accumulation,
was reduced. The strike being over, business
was actively resumed and the result of the
seasons business was far In excess of any pre-
yious years. There were very slight advances
in different classes of materials, and, the price
OF bricks being reduced, the average cost OF
building materials varied but little from the
prices ms before the strikes-the only advance
being on labor, of about 10 per cent; on the
entire cost of q building. as nearly as we can
compute, about per cent

THE MARKETS.

Panic in stocks--Amount OF Business
Yesterday Exceeded Anything in the
History of tho ExohanRe-Exoiting
Scenes at the Exchange.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The business to-day
has never been oqualed in the history of the
stock exchange, and but seldom approached.
The panicky feeling developed in some Of the
low-priced shares in the past two days spread
to tho more substantial stocks, and the pres
sure to sell exceeded anything ever seen in tho
board room. The bears began tho attack
at, the opening, but orders TO sell for both
sides of the account were overwhelming,
get out out. Demands from brokers for
more margin remained unanswered, and clos.
ing out sales were large proportion OF the
was greater than ever seen before, and every
broker nearly had orders to sell at the market
price. The excitement was intense, the feel
buying aided to check the first decline before
the end of the first hour, but the pressure was
again renewed, and stocks which had held up
well under the first slump then way
both bulls aud bears became alarmed
at the magnitude of the decline,
and buying orders were freely given
out, resulting in marked recovery over the
entire list. II was also reported that several
influential operators, who have been credited
of late with wishing 70 see material decline,
eTing Of short sales, which helped tho final
rally. Tho money market worked extremely
hard to-day, the rate running up TO as high ns
q per cent. per day and interest. The New
England deal was one of the chief factors, the
selling of the Boston interest being renewed
with spirit this morning which provoked short
sales by the New York element,
and the stock broke very badly
Reading, notwithstanding the publication OF
the plan of reorganization, broke ten points.
Other heavy declines were made by Tennessee
coal, Philadelphia gas and Richmond and
West Point, Only one failure was announced
on the board, though rumors of others were
thick at one time. Delivery hour, however,
passed with no further announcement OF that
nature, and much better feeling took pos
session of the room. In tho last hour a gem
eral rally took place, and material advances
over the lowest figures were recorded. The
market closed active but firm ut the recovery.
