sharp Advance in General Electric and a Slump in Sugar Relieved the DulInesS of the Market

Dullness or the marRet- NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The duliness of the market was relieved to-day by the sharp advance in Gen sral Electric and slump in Sugar. General Electric was in demand throughout, and rose from 35$z to 39 on the report that inc financial condition of the company had improved. Sugar was sold by Boston houses, but the opinion in the board was that the orders originated nearer home, and were placed to affect the railway list. The strength of General Electric, however, upset the plans Of the sellers. The stock subsequently, got back to 795s. Western Union was weaker on the statements submitted to their directors, which shows an estimated surplus for the quar- ter ending December 3i of s121 ,7as, against actual surplus for the corresponding period of 1892 of S5s4,5Sa. The general market ruled firm from start to finish.

When an article has been sold for g years and its sales have increased each year, in spite of competition and cheap limitations, it MUST have supe rior quality and absolute uni formity and purity. Dobbins' Electric Soap has been con- stantly made and sold since 1869, more each year. Can the sale of an inferior article constantly increase for g years ? This soap is today, as ever, the best, the purest, fam fly soap made.
