than point for the session.

lation, the Dow, Jones g. Co. in
dustrial average stood at 77.99, of
0.65 points; rail average at 32,49
of DAT points, and the utility aver
age at 31.70, Off 023 points.
Sales totaled 100000 shares, the
came as in Wednesdays session.
Aggregate market value of ten
leading shares was $6,228,412, $50
against $6,3O7, 1894 Wednesday, a
decline of S79, 121 ,064.
oil shares furnished a strong spot
for time in the morning, follow
ing a rise in crude oil by various
Midcontinent companies and frmer
prices for gasoline This group
Melted gains Of fractions to a point
but lost more than half the adj
vance and turned quiet
New Lows Are Made
In contrast with the hrmness in
oils, selling proceeded in General
Motors, which was driven to a new
low for the present shares below II
for a loss of nearly a point Re
duction in the price of copper for
export brought selling into coppers
and new lows were made by Ana
conda, Kennecott and Nevada Con-
solidated.
Other issues to make new lows for
the year or longer included Colorado
81 Southern second preferred, Pills
bury Flour, Melville Shoe and Penn
sylvania Railroad. Proctor 81 Gam
BILE equalled its low.
Steel common was firm for a time
in the early trading after opening
unchanged from the previous close.
1t slipped back later and was down
most of the day. Other industrial
leaders moved narrowly. National
biscuit was weak in the foods. In
gersoll Rand lost more than a point.
Communication issues again were
sold, including American Telephone,
International Telephone and West
srn Union.
Sales Volume Dips
Late in the day the market sank
into almost complete lethargy as
traders awaited outcome of the vote
in the house on the sales tax. This
vote was postponed until after the
close and the postponement ap-
peared to bring out some short
covering, for the market rallied
from the lows in the last few min
utes of operation.
There was little in the news Of
the day to influence trading. Twelve
railroads had reported February net
operating income up to late after
noon. The aggregate was 81, 695, 900,
against $5,688,000 in February, 1881,
a decrease of TIA per cent. 1t was
considerably above the $3,216,000 re-
ported by these same roads in
January, when they were 58.3 per
cent below the 1881 month.

Furniture Marts
w. T. DWyer Leaves for Furni-
ture Style Expositions at
Grand Rapids And
Chicago

w. 7. Dwyer of Dwyer Bros. Inc.
left today for Grand Rapids where he
will attend the Grand Rapids Furni-
ture Style Exposition. Next week he
will go to Chicago for the Semi-An-
nual National Furniture Show at the
American Furniture Mart and the
New Merchandise Mart.
Furniture merchants from all parts
Of the United States will gather in
Grand Rapids and Chicago for these
exhibitions, which mark the debut of
the new fashions in home furnishings
for the fall of 1892
All the leading furniture periods
=. Georgian, Early English, French
Empire and French Provincial, Early
American, Federal, Bedermeier
Queen Anne, Directoire, etc. +. will
be represented this season, advance
word from the Furniture centers, re-
Gently received by Mr.. Dwyer, indi-
Gates. There have been no decided
swings in preference since the jan
uary exhibition. Increased interest in
French designs, of Louis periods, is
anticipated, however.
The green-rust combination that has
been the most popular color scheme
for upholstered furniture for some
time finally has a new rival: blue
gold. A survey of the market indi-
Gates that the latter combination will
be shown far more frequently than
formerly at the July exhibition. The
leading upholstery fabrics will be tap
estry, damask, brocatelle, frieze, mo-
hair, Radnor cloth and numerous 9TH
ers. Of the woods used in American
furniture, walnut, mahogany, oak and
maple remain the acknowledged lead
ers. A dull "antiqued" finish prom
ises to be used more extensively than
the glossy, highly polished finishes.

TAKE YOUR VACATION

Our own advice to readers is
to make your vacation plans
early, and what is more inn
portant, if possible, take your
vacation at once.
Time and again, borne out
by experience, he who delays
often loses out altogether.
Regardless of present condi-
tions, most workers can ar
range some respite from work
and secure some rest and re-
Taxation that will help them
through the year to come.
Those out of work probably
need a change of routine more
than ever and should get it.
Let's not forget that vaca-
tion trips can be inexpensive
affairs. Many families enjoy
delightful back-to-nature trips
that give them exercise, play
and pleasure.
Plan your vacation this week
and if you can, take it next
week.
