NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The amount of bust
ness reported in the dry goods market demon
strates the value of the reductions which were
made recently in bleached goods. Both in
number and size the mail orders received to-
day were in the highest degree satisfactory
for these and similar lines and the store
trading has been Of decidedly encouraging
character In other lines of staple cottons
the market remains rather quiet, though there
has been some sympathetic buying in Brown
sheetings and shirtings and coarse colored
goods. In cloths there is continued dullness
the demand being restricted to odd goods at
very low prices. The quotation is still PIC.

Davis Cullen, of stickersville Del, who fol
nearly ten years has been treated for con-
sumption by the doctors, in a coughing fit the
other day brought up tooth which he swal-
lowed almost ten years ago. 1t had stuck in
his windpipe then. The physicians now say
that 1t got down into his lungs and that II
is the tooth which has caused what they
treated as consumption.-New York Sun.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Evening Posts Lon
don financial cablegram: The stock markets
here today were of the holiday kind, with
irregular movements and rather dull tone
because Of the territorial squabble in China
Japan, and bonds were fat. Americans were
good on New York support and closed steady.
There is surprise here that New York should
be looking for geld, the belief here being
that none will go there from London unless
either the New York market rises consider
ably or the London market declines, neither
OF which appears probable at the moment.

FOREIGN CROPS.

LIVERPOOL Dec 20.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press reviewing the crop prospects, says: The
English wheat fields have a satisfactory ap-
pearance, and those of France are now re-
garded as favorable, but 1t is doubted if the
acreage will be as large a year ago. The
italian acreage will probably be increased, as
the autumn has been favorable to sowing The
news from Russia varies Mildness is re-
ported in the Black sea region and snow in
the greater portion of the empire. The stocks
awaiting export in Russian ports amount to
1,562, GOO quarters, against 1852, 900 quarters
year age, suggestion that the recent Rus
sian shipments were heavier than the reve-
nues justified.

THE THREE FRIENDS
To be Proceeded Against as a Pirate, for
Firing on Spanish Gun Boat.

To be Proceeded Against as a Pirate, fol
Firing on a Spanish Gun Boat.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Attorney.Gen
eral Harmon yesterday instructed the
United States district attorney a.
Jacksonville to proceed against the
steamer Three Friends as a pirate.
The prosecution will proceed against
the vessel and not against her officers
and crew. The purpose of the attor.
ney-general in bringing the prosecu.
tion is largely to test the opinion re.
Gently given by Judge Locke of the
United States court at Jacksonville in
the case of the Three Friends.
In discharging her officers from Gus.
tody Judge Locke held that there was
no state of war in Cuba, and the Three
Friends was not, therefore, engaged
In political mission. According to
the understanding at the department t
of justice, this opinion clearly made
the Three Friends amenable to prose
cution for piracy, granting that the
statements made through certain New
York newspapers are true, that he
was armed and fred upon Spanish
vessel, for if her mission was nom
political, she was engaged in armed
attack on or resistance to friendly
state.
The prosecution has an additional
interest from the fact that the case
will be heard before Judge Locke. No
one here, however, believes that the
yarns about this unarmored tug boat
training a solitary Hotchkiss gun on a
well equipped Spanish gun boat can
be sustained by the slightest fragment
Of proof.
