In w all Street.

New York, Jan. 20-Slight losses resulted from today's transactions, the stock mar ket, which was irregular and depressed on the resumption of Cuban and currency agitation at Washington, giving courage to certain large bear interests. Recent professional manipulations of stocks cred ited to people interested in making mar ganizations. Western trade advices con- tinued good, and further reflected favorable traffic returns which were published today by prominent railroad lines. The market had hardly recovered from its early hes itancy when liquidation and short sales were apparent, with resultant sharp de- clines. Toward the close there was somewhat improved tone and increased &C., tivity. London bought a little on bal ance. Pullman, Mobile and Ohio and Ma tional Lead reflected the declaration of dividends on those properties. Oregon Im- provement advanced 1A on an intimation of possible changes in that company's rela- tions with other properties in the north west. Great activity and strength of North American in the final hour was based on rumors of a possible reconstruc- ton of the company's business. New Jer- sey Central and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western declined 11z@2 per cent, re- spectively. Northern Pacific and Union Pacific were purchased from London ac- count.

Grain Letter

By Private Wire to T. c. Hewlett. A'gh.
 Chicago, Jan. 20-Liverpool was the principal factor in wheat Thursday Open ing cables were unchanged to Sd higher but by 1:30 D. m. net advance of Ad was exhibited in some options. Paris, on the other hand was 10c to 15c in decline, but this reduction was ineffective compared with the condition of the English markts The wheat pit exhibited tho appearance of old time activity shortly after the open ing, which was strong for both May and July options. May, which closed yesterday at 91A started today at 91Ac to 91Bc, and July showed Ac to %c advance at s2lAc@ S2ssc. There was quite a fair trade for a time. but prices were slightly above calls and there was some selling against these privileges The only effect sustained, how ever, was 1sc decline.
 Trade diminished as the session pro- gressed but in Its quietness May worked up to 921sc, after which 1t 1uctuated in the neighborhood of 9124c. The price cur rent was rather non-committal, reporting the wheat fields uncovered but the general condition satisfactory. Northwestern re- cefpts were moderate at BOT cars against 332 last week and 252 last year. Chicago receipts were 8 cars only, two of which graded contract only. The coarser grains were practically at a standstill, although the feeling was firm. Provisions were dull but firm on moderate covering by shorts.

 New York, Jan. 20-Early influences fa- vored higher prices for cotton. The market opened quiet, with prices 1 point lower to l point higher. English news was more favorable, and, this combined with esti- mates for comparative small port move ment induced light local covering and prices immediately advanced to the extent of to points, A few scattering buying orders were received from Liverpool and southern representatives purchased the summer months.

Ing care of this National assembly of the League
OF American Wheelmcn." In support of this as
sertion. he says that it is attested by over eight
millions of spectators. who have in the season
of 1897 paid $3.G00.O0 to attend 2912 race
meets. where 1876 races have been given, par
ticipated in by 5000 racing men, who have won

Remarkable these statistics are. and great
as they show the bicycle racing game to have
become. the indications point to the probability
that the figures of the season of 1898 to come
will fairly dwarf them by comparison. America
has become the Mecca Of the cycle champions Of

DpSOtO'S Debut
St. Augustine News.

EDITOR NEWs:-I read in
recent number OF your paper an
article telling how Columbus dis
covered America. The perusaI of
the said Screed stimulated me to
make some archaeological re-
search. Upon Intervening the
oldest inhabitant OF this (Marion)
county, he told the following story
which. [ know is true. because he
said he could prove it by still
older inhabitant, who unfortu-
nately is dead.
On July i, 1899, Fernando De-
Soto, Hidalgo Of SPAN, Alcaldo
of Florida and Grand Nix Marcus
Of everything between BiScayne
Bay and the Bad Place, arrived
i'm Ocala on the ll:4j +. G.. x p.
train. He tried TO register at the
Ocala House, but was told by the
clerk and city scavrngrr that il
was absolutely necessary that he
should take 4 bath. 1t seems that
he had taken two in the course OF
his life befOre-One in Peru, in
1892, and one in Spain some
twenty years previous. Not that
he was especially uncleanly, for a
Spaniard, but his life had been n
busy one and between carving out
empires and Carving up Indians,
he had no time for trivial things
With the courtesy OF blue
blOOded cavalier, he acc"dcd TO
the clerks demand and asked To
be directed to the nearest wash
place.
Ma lOr CampbellS swimming
pool was not built hen, so DrSOtO
and his followers were referred to
Silver Springs. This fountain
was six miles away and has moi
been moved any nearer since, but.
people didn't mind a little iaunt
like that in those days. In course
of time the SpanlardS arrived on
the shores OF the Spring. DrSot"
dOnned his bathing suit and step
ped off the spring board.
Now, Silver Springs is decriv-
ing. The water is so clear, that
it. looks like it WAS only a few feet
deep, but DeSOto, having mar
ried u rich widow, was not short
but ht sank over his head and
sank some more. The sulphur
water forced itself into his mouth |
and nose and roarrd in his ears
and made him hink he was i'm I hr
bOttOmltsS pit. The catfish ard
the gartiSh SwIShpd against him
and bit him. and when he finally |
touched bottom he stepped right |
on Il fifteen loot alligator, greatly !
to the dlScnInpOsurr Of that am
NAL, which gave the napIesS
Spaniard such 4 blow with its tail !
that he was propelled TO the SUI,
face like he had been shot O,u Of u |
gun. He emerged breai HESS and !
gaSping and would have sunk !
again had not a faithful cOmradr |
hooked him through the ear wIt h !
a boat hook and drawn him TO
terra tlrma.
'Boys, said DrSoto, when he
had recovered his breath, "ShrOI
is not two miles from here, lets
git" And they got. SO terrifying
are the memories of that occasion
that no Spaniard has since athed
IN Silver Springs, and it is not
easy to induce them to battle any
where else. Nj. DASH.
