better prices at Liverpool and the cold wave
which covered most of the wheat belt West
and Southwest The markets generally
showed an advancing tendency. The local
feeling was for time rather bullish. Every
prospect of a decrease in the visible supply

snorts showed disposition to cover and
secure profits or protect themselves against
possible loss. Late continental cables, how
ever, came in weak, and warmer weather
being reported as probable, the demand fell
or and the selling became more liberal. The
export movement from New York was light
Under these influences the market became
weak and sagged of materially.

THE LINCOLN CLUB.
Evidences of the Prosperity of this Stall
wart Institution.

Owing to the steady increase in the
membership of the Lincoln Club, the
executive committee have leased the, en-
tire second floor of the new Brown Block
in Monument square. An arch doorway
will be placed between the new rooms
and those at present occupied by the
club, in such a position that speaker
standing in the opening may address the
occupants of both rooms with no incon-
venience.
The new addition comprises three
rooms, two of which are to be used as
committee rooms, and the other will be
carpeted and furnished as reception
and meeting room. This gives the Lin
coin Club as handsome and convenient
suite of rooms as can be found in New
England, and their situation cannot be
surpassed by any in the city. The rooms
will be ready for occupancy next We'd
nesday evening, which is the evening of
the second annual meeting of the club.

the annual red figure cash sale of the
old-established firm of Eastman Bros. &
Bancroft A quarter of a century is a
long time, but through all that period
this annual sale has come as regularly
as the Holidays. The little girl who
went with her mother to the first of
these sales, may, on Thursday take her
own daughter to wonder at the dazzling
array of bargains at the twenty-fifth an
niversary. We have no donbt that on
Thursday in the throngs who will crowd
the store, there will be many an one
drawn thither by the memory of old
times as well as by the knowledge that
the bargains will be as good and reliable
as ever.

WEATHER SIGNALS.
With the Firet of january Uncle Jerry
Makes a Change.

Beginning with January first the
Weather Bureau has made some impor-
tant changes in the signals which lit will
use. On all stations on the Atlantic, Pa
cific and Gulf coasts the "Cautionary Sig
nal'' will be discontinued The "Storm
Signar' will be displayed as at present,
but will be a warning of an expected
wind velocity intermediate between the
present cautionary and storm justifying
velocities. In the case of easterly winds
with temperature above freezing, and
westerly winds with freezing tempera-
ture, the velocity must be 80 miles or up
wards an hour to justify signal at East
port or Boston, % miles or more to justi-
fly one at Portland. For easterly winds
with freezing temperature the limit is p
miles for Boston and Eastport and % for
Portland. For westerly winds with tenn
perature above freezing the rates are 80
miles for Eastport and Boston and 2S
miles for Portland.
AT all wind signal stations the red
pennant will be used for the ''Informa-
ton Signal instead of the yellow pen
nant, and at cautionaly signal stations a
red flag with white centre will be used
for the signal instead of the yellow flag
with white centre.
The new regulations give the local OBJ
servers some discretion in hosting sig
nails where local conditions indicate
trouble.
