StocksThe result of to-day's trading on the stork market was that our. of thirty-five stocks actively traded in twenty-nine were higher than at the close last night, five lower nnd the rest unchanged. The course of the market to-day, beginning with decided weakness and lower prices in the morning, was barely steady during the morning and strong and buoyant in the last honr, with a decided gain in prices all round, which indicate, the Post says, that the bears have been led into a trap in the last- two days and that the bulls still control the market. The advance in prices. in the last hour of 54(7?2K percent, was under the lend of Union Pacific, Western Union Telegraph, Lake Shore nnd (Grangers. Some Central Pacific stock was called in to-day and lute in the afternoon 020 shares were bought in for non-delivery. The large transactions in Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern and Union Pacific, 180,000 each, formed the most prominent feature of the trading. Satur day's steamer for Europe will take out $1,300, 000 in gold. The withdrawals of gold from the Bub-treasury since February 21 are $5,150,000.

On the 2Gth the Globe Chicago correspondent wired to that paper "the visible supply" as com puted by the secretary of the Chicago board of trade. Yesterday the regular Associated Press telegram came to hand giving the visible supply as compiled by the New York statisticians, which Is published in this issue. Comparison of the two tables discloses a difference In wheat, of 3,318,200 bushels, the Chicago report exceed ing the New York by that number of bushels; 768,197 bushels of corn, 473,307 bushels of oats and 181,725 bushels of barley less, and 2,944 boshelf of rye more are given in the Chicago re port. Now, the question arises, which is the more accurate report, and still another question as to how much reliance can be placed upon the reports anyway? The difference between these two doctors of fig ures is too great to be passed over without expla nation, being for corn, 6 per cent., oats, 9% per cent., barley, 9 per cent., and wheat. 10 per cent. The difference upon the rye stock is trifling, being only 1-9 per cent. Last week in commenting Upon the visible supply in these columns it was shown that In the Chicago report St. Paul and the con tributory district showing some 2,132,300 bushels were left out. St. Paul district this week would foot up at least 3,000,000 bushels, leaving ! still some 800,000 bushels between the reports. Seeing that the Chicago report includes the St. Paul district this week, and Is therefore at least 8,000, 000 bushels nearer correct, than New York, the Review endorses the Chicago figures. Following are the two reports : Chicago. New York. Wheat 34,793.152 31,474,952 Corn.. 13,039,704 14,407,901 Oats 5,051,191 5,524,558 Rye 2,321,274 2,318,330 Barley 2,079,473 2,261,198 Among; the Commission Men.

A Conriet'snlnrjenuitif. ■ . [Milwaukee , Sentinel.] Among the lodgers at the Central police station last night was Henry Dalton, twenty five years of age, and a fine appearing young man.' Four years ago he was sent to Wan pun from Tomah, for htirglarly, and was re leased the fore part of the present week. Several months ago he designed to escape, and so well arranged was his plan that he was carried outside the prison wall by em ployes of the prison, but through a slight de fect In his plan it failed. The plan which Dalton adopted was to ship himself for sixty dozen shoes. He had been to work in the Shoe department, and from time to time, as an opportunity presented , itself, he removed sixty dozen of shoes from a case which was ready for shipment, storing them in several hogsheads of pegs; He : removed all the nails from one end of the case and cut them off close to the head, and carefully returned the heads back to their original places, securing the ends with ropes, such as are placed around cases before shipping. He then placed the case among those to be shipped and stored himself in it, taking a knife with him with which to cut the ropes, which would permit the head to drop out, so that he could thus effect his escape when the ease had reached a favorable * place. The case, with the others, was carried from the building and placed on a wagon to be. taken to the depot. A crack was discovered in the case, however, : by the teamster, who, thinking it was a defect, had it returned to the shipping room. • In the meantime Dal ton's disappearance .was discovered, and a search made for- him, but not within the walls of the prison. He remained* in the case until night, when he let himself out and crawled under the floor, where he' remained for two and one-half days, thinking that he might yet escape^ but weakness ". overcame him and he was obliged to surrender himself. During the last year and a half of : his ; con finement he practiced '. writing one - hour in the morning and one hour in the .'evening, while in his cell, until he has become almost perfect, and is < now fitted to teach writing. "He has a humb^ivf of /beautiftil J designs'"; of . work which _e'e^^^ KING'S EVIL Was the name formerly given to Scrofula because of a superstition that it could be cured by a king's touch. The world is wiser now, and knows that ■■"■-■■ - SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purifica tion of the blood. If this is neglected, the disease perpetuates. its taint through generation after generation. Among its ' earlier symptomatic . developments are Eczema^ Cutaneous Eruptions, Tu mors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Phy sical Collapse, etc. If allowed to con tinue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Ca tarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and vari ous other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it. Ayers Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effect ual an alterative that it eradicates from the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it en riches and vitalizes the blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with 3 elloxo Dock, Stil lingia, the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and other ingredients of great po tency, carefully and scientifically com pounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians constantly prescribe AYER'S Sa'ksai'arilla as an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to the high est practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medi cine, in the world. Ayer's Sarsaparilla PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. [Analytical Chemists.] Sold by all Druggists: price $1; six bottles for §5. ;* - .1 Fortunate. Winona Man. [Winona Herald.") In the early part of December Mr. John J. Engeffian, of this city, who is well known as a hard working and thrifty carpenter, was summoned to the bed-side of his brother, "William A. Engeman, of New York. He re ceived with the summons the necessary funds to defray the expenes of the trip. Mr. En geman left at once for the East and found his brother seriously ill at his winter resi dence No. No. 44, Seventh Avenue, Brook lyn. "William A. Engeman was the proprie tor of the Brighton Beach race course, and of the Ocean House at Coney Island, and was also largely interested in various other enterprises and owned considerable property in New York city and Brooklyn, On the 10th of January he died, leaving as heirs to his vast estate a son named after himself, and two brothers, John J., of this city, and George Engeman of New York. j Mr. Engeman states that the will of his deceased brother provides that he shall re ceive 10 per cent, of the aggregate value of his brother's possessions, that 40 per cent. is given to his brother George and the re maining half of the estate is bequeathed to the only son of William A. Engeman. This son is now eighteen years of age. and the will provides that no division of the proper ty shalll be made until the young man is 25 years old. Young William E. Engeman is now attending college in Philadelphia, and is spoken of by his uncle as a highly promis ing young man; Mr. Engeman states that the reason his brother George receives such a handsome portion is because he has for a number of years been intimately associa ted with William A. in the conduct of his business affairs, and that during the last year, owing to the poor health of his brother, George has had almost the sole control of the vast business. As the estate, though var iously estimated, will probably reach £1,000, 000, Mr. Entreman says he is well satisfied with his portion, and has no inclination to question the justice of his brother's disposal of the property. George Engeman will as heretofore conduct the business, and Mr. Engeman will be free to enjoy the blessings of wealth, while unharrassed by the cares in cident to active business life. John 3. Engeman came to Winona in 1855. He has since been east, but has re sided for the past eighteen years in this city. He is a carpenter by trade and ha3 for sev eral years worked on the railroad. At the time he received the summons to his broth er's death-bed he was engaged in the con struction of the street railway buildings. He is now fifty years of age, and has a wife, four daughters and two sons to share his prosper ity. Mr. Engeman says that he expects shortly to remove with his family to New York city, although he would prefer living among his neighbors and friends in Winona. He would be obliged frequently to visit New York were he to continue to reside here, and lie wishes to have a settled home. The feel ing is universal that prosperity has come to a most deserving family, and it is a pleasure to know that while they justly appreciate the advantage of wealth, they yet remain the the same genial, unassuming people as in days of yore. Hudson Day Route. Much has been written of late relating to a railway being built from the Red River Valley to Hudson Bay, and thereby obtain near access to the European markets. The people of the Red River valley are bestirring themselves in the matter, and, during the past four weeks meetings have been held at many places in Manitoba, as well as at Grand Forks and other points in Dakota, for the furtherance of this object. An Interna tional Convention has been called at the city of Emerson, Manitoba, on the boundary line, which is to meet on Tuesday and "Wed nesday of next week, when it is expected there will be a large attendance of those in terested, not only from points in the Red River valley south of the 49th degree of lati tude, but from all sections of Manitoba. No doubt, should a road be built from Lake Win nipeg to Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay, and the navigation of the Red River improved, the products of the whole section could be carried at a greatly cheaper rate than at present, and even, should they have to be carried by rail the whole distance, there would still be'a great saving. From Winni peg to Fort Churchill is only 700 miles, and at that port the products of the country would be nearer Liverpool than at Quebec or New York. . The distance from Grand Forks, Dakota to Fort Churchill is about the same as to Chicago. True, Hudson Bay is navigable by sailing vessels, the only kind which have been used on it, only five months each year, but with steamers, specially built for its nav igation, that time could be lengthened from two to three months. The farmers would be in no worse a position than now, in shipping via Duluth or Port Arthur, the grain having to lie at these points all winter. Should a road be built to Hudson Bay, the roads now running east through the great northwest would have to lower their rates, else the traffic would go the other way. The Canadian Pacific company are anxious that it should be built, as they would have a long stretch of carrying before striking the road north from Winnipeg," especially goods from British Co lumbia. Should that road be opened, the dis tance from China, Japan and other points in Asia would be so much shortened, that roads having to cross the whole continent to the present ports on the Atlantic seaboard, would find it difficult to compete with the new line. Freights * will have to be cheapened, or the great grain fields of ■ Dakota and the north west will be unable to compete in the Euro pean market with the cereals brought ■ from other countries. .
