C. Click, ed'i'tor of The Hickory three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and shooting pains ran in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it can cer, and said tha; i must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S, ,S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small cab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy' little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy.

New York; February 4. The reduc tion in the Bank of England discount rate from 3 to 3 per cent, had com paratively little influence on the mark ets for securities at the opening to day, partly because London failed to respond to the news. It was quite evi dent that the action of the directors of the bank had been discounted, a reduc tion in the bank rate having been fore shadowed by the declining quotations in the open market at London for some days past. Stocks, after advancing to per cent, soon developed weak ness and under selling, chiefly for the oiivji 1, ovj uii t, cLiuiusi tiie tfiitirc list sustained losses varying from to 1 per cent. The downward ... movement was temporarily checked by the unex pectedly favorable showing by the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy. It was rumored yesterday and 'this morning that the statement would show a de crease in net earnings of about $200, 000. Instead, the official figures reach ed an increase, compared with 186, of $76,799 in net earnings and of $69,753 in surplus. On this the shorts covered freely and Burlington and Quincy rose from 74 to 75 and other stocks ral lied fractionally in sympathy. The firmness, however, was of short dura tion and during the afternoon the ad vance was soon not only lost, but in some instances, more particularly in the xnaustriais, substantial declines were recorded. The growing belief that the affairs of the trust will be probed into by the New York state senate investigating committee and continued advices from Washington that the differential duty on refined sugar will be reduced, operated against the Industrial group. Sugar fell from 116 to 114, while Leather, preferred, declined 1 to 59 and Lead 1 to 22. Chicago Gas was sold down 1 to 77 on aavices irom Springfield that a bill will be introduced in the Illinois legis lature reducing the price of gas in the state, officials of the company here attach no importance to the matter. The Grangers yielded about per cent, and Louisville and Nashville and General Electric even less. Total sales were 141,434 shares. The bond market was firm. The sales aggegated $2,791, 000. " . The thlragn Market. Chicago, February 4. The French crop was in the main a factor In the wheat market today. Although infor mation regarding that crop received was simply a confirmation of what was already known, still it was none the lessl effective An causing an advance. The! market was irregular up to noon. the opening being weak on lower Liver pool cables, prices soon advancing on good export clearances at New York, but again declinlngjiecause other spa board points were not in line with New York. The final bulge was during the last hour and was due to the French news. Cash wheat was steady, closing firm and to c higher. Alterations in the price of corn were very small, the business being of such light volume that It was remarkable that quotations, aid not remain perfect ly stationary. The strength or weak ness of wheat, however, started a slight influence, to which the changes were due. Cash corn was steady and prices were unchanged. 1 There was very little difference in cats and corn markets. Moderate fluctuations within a range of narrow limits took place. Cash oats .were steady and unchanged. Hogs were up another 2 to 5c this morning, a circumstance which had a salutary effect on prov'sions. Commis sion houses and packers were - good buyers early, but trade became slack after the first hour and prices grad ually settled backward until most of the opening advance wa lost. May pork closed ?c higher. May lard 5c higher and May ribs unchanged. Cotton -Fatnre. (Special to The Messenger.) New York, February 4. Liverpool cabled-a more encouraging report to day, in both the spot and future mark ets, and, in sympathy with the advance there, our market was a little better at the opening. May, now the tnost de termined month upon the list, opened 3 points higher than last night's clos ing prices, the sales on the first call being made, at 7.20. The receipts today were more liberal than the bulls had hoped for and caused some liquidation, which resulted in a decline of a few points. The market closed quiet and steady with 7.17 bid for May. The fear that the movement may again Increase to large propositions is a depressing In fluence. We regard this as highly im probable. RIORDAN & CO. (By Southern Press.) New York, February 4. The Sun's cotton review says: Spot cotton here advanced l-16c with sales of 100 bales for exports and 131 for spinning. In-? tense dullness reigned in the cotton1 market today. What business there was, was of a local . scalping : nature and at the close prices were practically unchanged from last night's final quo tations. Liverpool was higher and prices have advanced slightly at the opening, in response to the advance in Liverpool The indications pointed to: lieht receipts for the day. New 0r leans advanced, Liverpool and the south were small buyers here and some local shorts covered. Before the close prices reacted owing to the absence of support. It was rumored here that Neill Bros.' will issue a bulMsh circular, but this report was not confirmed. The quantity to come into tde-ht for the week is now estimated at 110 00 bales, nlthonsrh it was reported today that Mr. Hester, of New-Trleans. will In clude about 25,000 bales In the; week's receipts. f The Veit Sails tor Charleston.

The bill r)LSSd ' ' I I The question that awakened interest was the conference, report on the im migration bill. The discussion upon that was short, however, as Senator Lodge, having charge of it, recognized the justice of thte-objections made to it by Senator ! Hill and other senators in regard to the hutting out the igno rant wife of an Immigrant, while the husband might flass the reading and writing test. Seriator Lodge himself made the motionf that the conference report be disagreed to and a pew con ference ordered ;md that motion was agreed to without objection. While this waspending.

He insisted that if the Nicaraguan canal is ever construct ed it would have! to be neutralized, as the Suez canal vas. It should have for its sponsors, conr tollers and con structors, the great nations pf the earth whose commerce would pass throught it. It was the duty of the United States notlito declare, absolutely all the laws and methods which should govern the project, but to proffer to the other nations j the open hand of fair conference, to invite their reasonable suggestions and o unite with them in the reasonable provisions for its con struction and maintenance. The first duty of the United States was to have a careful survey! "of all the available routes and to have a plan prepared. And the next step should be to con fer with Great Britain, in accordance with treaty stiputetions, with Germany and with France(j and to establish the canal on such ai foundation as that peace would blesai it forver as the great agency of commerce swelling around the globe. li Without concluding his speech Sena tor Vilas yielded for a motion to pro ceed : to executive business, and at 6 o'clock p. m., the senate adjourned un til tomorrow.

At 5:10 o'clock! p. m., the house ad journed until tomorrow. Weyler Having to Fight His Way Havana. February 4. Since Captain General Weyler entered the Santa Clara province about a week ago, his columns have had a series of encoun ters with various parties of rebels, which were eventually dispersed. All the way from las Cruces, to Santa Clara,-the shooting" on the part of the rebels increased and their movement? became bolder, a party of insurgents even firing upon General Weyler's camp on the River Saigua. The van guard of the Spanish columns also had to fight is way acroSs the Sagua river and other bodies of troops were compelled to do likewise at different places along the river where (they essayed to cross.
