BOUGHT A HORSE
Middletown Percheron Horse As.o.
|. : ciation Have Been1ncorporated
ARE NOW AWAITING SUIT

Notices were issued in the local pa
pers last week of the filing at Dover of
a charter for the Middletown Percheron
Horse Association, with a capital of
$4,000, for the purpose of dealing in
Percheron horses, etc. From what can
be learned the dealings Of the associa-
ton will all be done with the Courts.
The association was formed after a
deal had been made, whereby twenty
one farmers in this community had be-
come the joint owners of handsome
black Percheron stallion, weighing 1850
pounds. at the price of $4,000. The
horse was sold to the farmers by one
William Mclaughlin, of the Mclaughlin
Stock Farms, of Frederick county, Md.
who was assisted by several local sales
men, who introduced local farmers.
The beauties of the pure-bred Percheron
horse was exemplifed in many ways,
and rich promises of large prices for the
colts were promised by the statesmen.
The farmers were induced to sign notes
for $500 each, which were to be made
payable in two years, becoming due
each six NOR tbs, when payment of
$50 was to be made on them.
The deal was closed and the horse
delivered. Recently, when the first
payment on the notes were due, they
were sent to local bank for collection,
from Maryland bank, where they had
been discounted, and were listed for full
payment with no renewals. The farm
ers then began to compare notes, and
after meeting agreed to resist pay
ment of the notes on the ground OF
Misrepresentation, claiming that the
horse was not as represented, and that
the payments demanded in full were
not according to contract.
In the me antime the members of the
association are awaiting suit on the
notes, when the matter will be threshed
out in the Courts.
One horse was sod here several years
ago, and joint note was signed by the
company After two years, the note
having been renewed several times, one
of the signers was compelled to settle
the entire note, he having ,een the only
one worth the amount.
At Townsend three years ago hand
some coach horse was sold fol $500 in
the same manner as the horse was re-
Gently soli here. The stockholders be-
coming dissatisfied last year, put him
up at auction, and the highest bid
obtainable was $85 which was nefusei.
and he is now being used for his keep
by man in the village.
The outcome of this case will be
watched here with interest as three
other horses were sold by the same
parties, in the same manner, one at
Cecilton, Md; one at Chesapeake City,
Md; and one at Kirkwood-Del.

New York Coffee.

New York, April 5.-The market for coffee futures showed reaction ary tendency today. The demand for near months which had been a factor on the advance of yesterday was less in evidence and prices eased under scattered realizing or liquidation, al- though there seemed to be no change of importance in the news from Bra gil and there was some scattered buy ing on the more optimistic view of peace prospects. The only sale re- ported ;n July was at 14.90, or even with last nights closing price but that delivery closed at 14.8O bid, while December sold off to 14.O5 or 10 points net lower.
 The market opened 2 to II points lower and closed at net decline of 3 to 10 points. Closing bids:
 May 1850; July 14.S0; September 14.43; October 14.33; December and January 14.1O;. March 14.15.
 Spot coffee quiet; Rio 7's 16 Is. Santos As, 21. Very few cost and freight offers were reported in Bra gil. Rio offers were shadow higher and Santos about unchanged.
 The official cables reported an un- changed market at Rio. Santos spots were 100 reis higher and future un- changed to 75 reis lower. Brazilian port receipts 23,000; Jundiahy re- ceipts 5000.

Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, April 5.-Notwithstanding that for distant deliveries corn to- day touched the highest prices yet this season, weakness prevailed in the market as whole by reason of increased offerings to arrive from the country. Quotations closed heavy 3-4 cents to 2c lower with May 156 Is to 1856 3-8 and July 148 3-4 to 148 7-S. Oats lost half to cent. In provisions the outcome ranged from 1Oc decline to 40 cents advance.
 Selling pressure on corn seemed to be directed chiefly against the May delivery. The later months too, suf- fered from liquidation but not until the May-July difference had become 3 cents narrower than was the case earlier in the week.
 Oats followed the changes i'll corn.
 Provisions advanced higher with hogs.

New York Cotton.

New York, April 5.-A more fa- vorable opinion of prospects for an early conclusion of peace seemed responsible for a broadening of both trade and speculative demand in the cotton market today and a sharp ad- vance in prices. New style May con tracts sold up to 26.3O and October to 22.15, or sixty to S5 points net higher and the close was steady at net ad- vance of 55 to 79 points on new style months. Old style deliveries were quiet and very irregular owing to the narrowness of the market with the close 20 points lower to 100 points higher.
 Thes market seemed to be some what uncertain at the start. Reaction ary sentiment was encouraged by a more favorable weather map and bearish week and statistics but the opening was steady at an advance of 10 to II points on the old and un- changed to 9 points higher on the new contracts. Prices eased off slightly under realizing and scattered selling but the market showed interesting
