NEW YORK, September 29 A Dull Market-Loss in Several Prom inent Stocks.

NEW YORK, September 29 A Dull Market-LOss in Several Prom
 inent Stocks.
 The stock market to-day gave evidence of having lost it's breadth, and the transactions were almost all in few leaders, ,Atchison, Missouri Pa cific, St. Paul, Burlington, Rock Island, and Union Pacific The rest of the list were quiet from opening to the close, and the only feature of the low priced stocks was the weakness in Hooking Valley and sugar, in which losses equal to those in the leaders were established. London houses were sellers at the opening, but bought stocks later in the day at the concessions made. The news of the day, including the railroad earnings and the arrival of large amount of gold, was uniformly favorable, but had little in fluence against the persistent hammering of the professionals aided by the plentiful lack of sup pert by the insiders and large operators. The stoc>s which best resisted the days pressure were Lake Shore, Wheeling and Lake Erie pre- ferred, Burlington, and few specialties. The market cosed active and weak at close to the lowest of the day. The final ,osses of note in clnde: Missouri Pacific, 214; suger, 2; Union Pa cific and New England, 1M; RocA Island, 24; Atchison, 15s; Burlington and Nortlern Pacific preferred, 116.
 Railroad bonds were also less actre than usual of late but the business was widely dis tributed. and only Atchison incomes and Chiago and Northern Pacific 5s showed any particukr animation. The market sympathized in some degree with the weakness in the share list, and the more active issues show losses as a rule. There were many advances, however, among the less prominent issues though the tone of the dealings throughout the day was distinctly heavy. The total transactions were $1 ,34S, 900. Following are the closing prices, reported by PRINCE & WHITELy, bankers and brokers, 64 Broadway, N. Y., and 15 Center Street, New Ha- ven, Conn:

O'BRIEN'S LETTER.
A Boston Salesman Gives
 Vent to His Feelings.
His Future was Dark, Misera-
 ble and Hopeless.
Now He is Dumping Around Like a Colt" and so are
 His Friends.

Like a Colt" and so are
 His Friends.
 The following letter is self-explanatory, says the Boston Globe.
 It is especially pertinent at this time, when there are so many cases of rheuma- tism. The writer, Mir. 0. J. O'Brien of the National Supply Co.,, 45 Temple Place, is we'll known to clothing men in Boston, continues the Globe, and his statements have been thoroughly investigated. They are vouched for by his friends and the physicians who attended him. Here is what he wrote to the Globe on September 15, 1891:
 ''Three years ago was a terrible suffer CT from acute and chronic rheumatism. My agony was something similar to that described by Dante of the damned in his Inferno, so that my future looked dark, miserable and hopeless. I had tried the allopathic and homeopathic schools of medicine until was almost dosed and wa- tered to death. then experimented with electricity and many other 'cures' until became creeping laboratory of medicine, electricity and Indian herbs.
 
 that had created considerable stir around Boston, and decided to try it. One bottle gave me slight feeling of relief and bought three more. Before the fourth bot tie was quite finished I was jumping around like two-year-old colt.
 ''I am now entirely cured and have also been the means of curing from fifteen to twenty unfortunates who had been suffer- ing like myself. One of my friends, Jack w. -, went to Ireland thinking change of climate might benefit him, but he re- ceived no relief. sent him three bottles, and he wrote me that before he got through with the third bottle he experienced great relief. At his request I forwarded him half dozen bottles, and heard from him a short time ago, saying that he was now entirely well.
 "This discovery that has done so much for me and my friends is Paine's celery compound, and if any reader of this has rheumatism, or anything of the sort, he should not fail to use this compound"

 The work is progressing fast on the large steamboat that is being built for the company at Chester, Penn. The new boat will be twin screw steamer aud is being built for speed. The steamboat is to cost, in round numbers, S350, 900 and is to be ready for use on the line next sea son.
