Spirits Turpentine.-The bull was turn
ed loose in the market this afternoon and
there was a lively time for awhile. When
the market closed the quotation was 25Ac
bid, but it soon rose to 212c, at which price
about 600 casks were said to have been
sold Then it quickly advanced to 25$4
cents and about 1900 barrels changed
hands. 1t is likely that the buyers secured
all they could get at 25A cents. The Ant
werp Naval Stores Company were in the
market to the tune of 25la cents, in the
afternoon, but did not appear anxious to
advance the price above 1854 cents, conse-
quently the sales were made TO other eX-

prices on a few grades. 1t was reported
that after the close the sales amounted to
over 5000 barrels
AT the first call at the Board of Trade

Which will! you nave?
The gold Republican lays that wha,
We need to secnre prosperity is higher

The gold Democrat says that all we
need is less money in other words,
hat the greenbacks u treasury

mother, out it remains true tn at ter
purpose to do his horrible thing will
strengthen the conviction that her son
Is a moral pervert and that this facr
Is due IL SINE Weasnre to an evil faint
in his blOOd.-StOcktOn Mail.
Zoe above seems to be a distorted
view of the matter. The condemned
man has begged his mo-her to be
present when he takes his last look
upon the earth, Now suppose she
had told him she would not grant his
request, then OF course the papers
who are DOW criticising her course
would have 2 display head like this:
"Durraht Hanged Yesterday "
DESERTED by his Mother at the last
Moment"
For Durrant, no sympathy can be
extended, his crimes de>erve a tbous-
and haDgings. but the press should
not cast stones at the mother, who has
a heavy enough load of sorrow al
ready. Her determination to stand
by him until the TALL If the drop,
should not be criticised. She bel ieves
in his innocence because a mothers
love blinds her eyes to all the terrible
evidence against him. 1t seems to US
that II there Is ever a time a man
needs a mothers abiding faith in
him to light up the darkness of the
abyss We call the hereafter. it is Just
before he take the last leap from the
gallows tree.
