xEw YerK STOCK Mark n

New York Feb. 1.-The volume bus
mess of stocks to-day was rather be-
low the half holiday average. The
prices of most shares were shaded at
the opening, owing partly to lower
quotations from London and moderate
selling for thataccount, and to Hquida-
ton on apprehension of the passage OF
the free silver bill in the Senate. Ma
nipulation for an up turn was soon
discernibIe, however, and aggressive
strength in prices developed, and sharp
advances occurred all along the line.
In the last hour general selling
movement occurred. Burlington was
exceptionally weak falling per cent.
on disappointment over the December
exhibit Of earnings. The market closed
quiet but heavy in tone.
To-day's bond market was irregular
but mainly firm. The dealings amount
e.. to $786, 900. Governments were
heavy with decline of ] per cent. in
the bid price of the new As. The total
sales were $50, 900 worth. For the week
concessions are noted from the bids
current at the close of the preceding
week. The trading was increased in
volume, amounting to $22s,000.. Bust
ness in State securities was very light,
figuring only $4,000.

TT is impracticable to treat IN fun
the Dodgeville Suns proposition for
letting of county printing at this
time. 1t is radically different from
original proposition contained in the
Lewis resolution, and with slight
changes would be practical. II the
county board sees fit to adopt it and
the county clerk sees fit to respect IT
(Which he is at liberty not to do
under the law,) the TRIBUNE will
respond with a bid. The clause Of
the proposed resolution which
provides that publications required
by law to be made in papers not in
tereFted in the contract, shall be paid
for at the contract price, cannot be
made effective. How can a party
not interested in contract BIZ COM
PEELED 10 do work mt rates specified
in such contract Again We repeat,
it is not SO much a question Of prize
for official publications that affect
the county, AS it Is question Of ex-
tent of publication. IF it Is desired
to oontine all such publications TO
one paper, a large saving will be
made, whether there be any bidding
or not. The Suns statement that
certain kinds Of printing costs the
county double the amount paid in
adjoining counties cannot apply
to printing done by the TRIBUNE.
Our practice has been, and bills viii
show, that We charge the county for
letter beads, envelopes, blanks etc,
the sume as we charge merchants
and other customers.

How to Prevent Pneum onia.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of
some reliable cough medicine is
liable to result in that dread disease,
pneumonia. We know of no better
remedy to cure a cough or cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and
it has always given entire satisfac-
tion.-0iagah, Ind Ter. ChieE
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive Of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for colds and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
Of single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or have reason to fear an at
tack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. Tire Is and so cent
