The Red Wing Republican asks
what has become of the old-time
lightning-rod agent. We can tell
+. you what has become of him. He
has been shaved, had his hair cut,
doomed a new suit of clothes and is
busy in the country selling gro
ceries at wholesale prices to the
farmers. Occasionally he gets q
job selling memorial cards to the
afflicted. Once in while one stays
at home and works a swindle
through the mails. All these
sharks were formerly lightning
rod agents or the direct descend
ants from them. All these sharks
we're formerly Neutrality-suspicious.
or are the direct descendants from
them. All have the same aim in
life and that is to deceive and
cheat the farmers first and then
anyone else they can capture. just
ask one of these sleek gents if he
knows where you can buy storm
proof lightning-rod. You will see
mis- ears move and before he can
control his tongue he will tell you
how he has driven over this
country on a wagon, rodded this
and that mans buildings and may
be recount an incident where he
cheated q farmer out of $50 or
800 easily. Yes, same men-dif-
ferent clothes, different scheme

Some Ave and forty years ago
little child was born,
It had no toes or fingers
A fearful hOmely form.
In fact it had no arms or legs,
1t sat upon the floor.
1t had solid pair of lungs
When pressed would fairly roar.
This little child could sing song ~
With voice so sweet and clear.
Strong men would stop and listen
And brush away tear.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan 25.-One OF the lowest
records OF business recently established
was made to-day in the stock market
There was two divergent movements Ia
prices, and the anthracite coal stocks ex-
erted a decidedly unfavorable sympa-
thetie influence upon the general list.
The market opened weak and generally
lower, under the news of unsatisfactory
London prices for American securities,
The announcement OF reduction in both
actual and posted rates of sterling ex-
change, however, and covering OF shorts,
soon checked the reactionary tendency
and caused general advance.
The continued unfavorable conditions
in the anthracite coal trade and popular
outlook for business facilitated the work
of the traders in depressing prices. The
Grangers, general railroad list and indus
trial stocks were sympathetically de
pressed fractionally. The closing was
weak at general fractional net losses.
Railway bonds were quiet but generally
well held, aside from the Hooking Val.

sion in the bituminous coal trade. This

New York. Jan. .25-The action of the
cotton market to-day was a decided dis
appointment to maay who have put faith
in Il higher level of prices on the theory
of lighter receipts. As a matter of fact
the movement at the ports and indications
for the interior receipts point to larger
quantity Of cotton than expected, while
there was an entire lack Of outside sup
port. Gables were disappointing and
private advces indicate renewed pressure
on Liverpool spot market. The market
started out at decline Of 26i3 points,
picked up the loss, bat again turned
weak and closed with prices finally one
point higher to three points lower. the
official tone being steady; but this was
all the market would do. sentiment really
having weak undertone on account Of
the movement and the protected inter-
ference Of outsiders to the situation.
