err in the employ of the local Illinois

The Eagle Packet company, Of St.
Louis, has decided to invade the St
Louis and Paiucah trade, and will
enter the Cape Girardeau trade to run
from st. Louis TO Paduoah once a
week, leaving Saturday and returning

but it is understood that the company
desires TO haul some OF the wheat that
is every year hauled from landings be-
tween Paducah and Cairo to st. Louis.

Civil war at which General Grant had
his headquarters when the renowned
battle Of Shiloh was fought. 1t is also
one of the best shipping points on that
river, and this is the second steamer

There were about thirty persons on
the boat when she sped her way to the
water, and on the hill there were
probably 100 to witness the. slide.
Captain James Roger, superintendent
Of the line, went in with her. and

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Feb. THE movement OF
prices in tOday's stock market became
highly irregular. but the tone was health
Ter and the breadth and activity in tho
market were maintained at yesterday
level. The professional operators, who
largely absorbed the market, operated
with considerable confidence and did not
hesitate to buy and bid up stocks in new
quarters at the same time as they Were
taking profits on their recent purchases
in others.
Some of the closely held investment
stocks, which have had sensational adj
vances recently because there We're nc
shares for sale even at much higher bids
relapsed violently, today, on attempts to
take profits. Lackawanna slumped
points on top of yesterdays loss of near
ly points and Northwest dropped AZ,
without recovery. Lackawanna. however
rallied points. The same tendency was
shown to a large degree in number OF
other railroad stocks which have beeu
unreasonably bid up of late. There was
a very notable pressure to realize profits
also in Southern Pacific.
Amalgamated Copper was about the
only stock in the list that showed positive
depression. It's loss at one time extended
to 2h but was reduced by a rally to 1%.
The principal factor of strength in the
market was Illinois Central, which adj
vanced an extreme Ta on a volume of
closely held security. The advance In
the stock brought out various old rumors
of absorption of minor systems and the
stocks of many railroads which could by
any possibility be available for merging
with Illinois Central were advanced
sharply.
There was an energetic buying move
ment late in the day in Atchison, which
seeemd to be based on the fact that the
movement in this stock this week, had
not been commensurate with that in 9TH
ers. This description applies to various
other movements of the day. There was
an upward rush in Metropolitan Street
Railway which carried it 23s over last
night and a similar movement of more
than points in Sugar. but neither of
them were maintained. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit moved more than a point. Later
in the day Manhattan was raided down
p points on the news of an unfavorable
court decision against the company and
this made the closing of the market I'M
settled.
The bond market was quite active but
irregular. Total sales, par value, 49, :
