NEW YORK, February H.-The trans
actions at the Stock Exchange to-day
were light. At the start the market was
inclined to weakness, chiefly on account
OF an unexplained break In Manhattan
from los IA to 103. The weakness of this
stock made timid holders tighten their
loads and at the same time room-opera-
tors and sold-out bulls contributed their
share to bringing about lower prices.
But lirtle success attended their combined
efforts. and I'm the afternoon trading the
entire list was on the advance once more.
The main cause for the confidence pre-
vailing In the late session was the ease
with which the successful bidders to the
new government loan met their obliga-
tions. and the announcement from Wash
ington that the Morgan syndicate had
filed a claim for all defaulted allotments,
at lIO6s77. The syndicate has deposited
In the Sub-Treasury here sufficient gold
to cover all defaults. The fact that the
first settlement has been met without the
slightest disturbance to the money mar
ket, and that funds on time are 10 pe

Friday, Mrs. Joseph E rhardt, who
lives about one half mile from Brook
land, on Mayraat's bill, Oh the Leap

little ones, was charitably disposed
and a CONSTANT member of the
Lutheran church. Her remains were

church in the presence Of a large
concourse of relatives and sorrowing
friends. The services were con-

Tna Place to Buy Your Goods.

Mimnaueh, the merchant prince OF
Columbia, having captured and con-
trolls the trade of that city, has de-
tertnined to do likewise with that OF
Lexington county and has conse-
quen,ly laid in an immense stock OF
goods, especially adapted to the
wants and necessities of the people
of Lexington. His two immense
stores are filed with some OF the
rarest bargains ever offered in the
State, as is attested BY the large
sales and shipments he is making
every day. He makes the wants OF
the people study, and having an
experienced buyer in the Northern
markets, with plenty Of cash, he
never let's bargain 60 by, the bene-
fits of which he gives to his custom
ers. All goods sold from his estab-
lishmeDt are guaranteed to be as
represented, and he thus gives per-
feet satisfaction, and makes custom
ers and retains them. There is
nothing in the lines Of dry goods
clothing, boots, shoes, hats notions,
millinery, carpets, window shades,
ETC., but what he can furnish upon
call. His various departments are
overhowing with pretty goods tit to
adorn and beautify the person of a
lady of the realm, and at such re-
markably low prices as to be within
the reach of the poorest in the State.
Mr. John NJ. Stuart, presides over
the clothing department and will
take especial pains to give his nu-
msrous Lexington friends a perfect
