ns5 Many of our subscribers have suppos-
ed that we would be compelled to raise the
subscription price of the INqUIRER under the
present pressure of prices and taxation. We
are happy to inform them, however. that we
have raised our prices as high as we intend
to raise them. And while upon the subject
we will remark that we have not raised the
advance subscription price ofthe INQUIRER a
single farthing during the rage of the late
high prices which so terribly affected news
paper men. For thirty years, we suppose,
the INqulRER was published at S2 per annum
in advance Within the last ten years the
size vas reduced, aud with the reduction of
the size, the price was cut down to Sl.50 in
advance. We have simply increased the size
to one-third more reading matter than it ever
contained at any time previous, and have
gone back to the original price per an
mum in advance.

There have been no new development,
in the wool trade this week Prices re-
main as they were, at SO and 62 cents for
medium to choice The latter figures sat
isfy the expectation of farmers very well,
and most of them seem disposed to sell
rather than run the risk of the future -
1t is estimated that half to two-thirds OF
of the clip of the State is out OF the
hands of the growers. The best and big
gest clips are still held back. Farmers
who have sense enough to see the advan-
tage of raising good quality OF wool
this year, are shrewd enough to see that
their true interests lie in holding on to
their wool, and they will yet get good
interest on the money thus invested Re-
ports from all sections of the State rep
resent the prices paid at 50 aud 6U cents,
while for the best clips 62t cents are of
tered
The Lansing Republican says that thus
far 25O, 900 pounds have been bought in
Lansing, at an average of So cents. AL
mon Harrison, Of Lansing township, has
sold his clip to Merritield IL Weller, A.
500 pounds, at 60 cents. This amounts
to the snug little sum of 5000.
There are about $4,000 pounds still in
the hands of farmers of Kalamazoo. Best
clips have been sold as high AZ 60 cents

were most soundly thrashed in presence
of all theguests of the Pulaski House, by
Capt. Hussy alone, for making Indecent

from Capt. Hussey for doubling the abil-

Howell and his badly whipped bullies
were then taken to the police station.

special excitement. The premium con-
tinues steady. The demand from impor-

set to large extent by sales of the Treas

after the 18th, when the interest on

the sales of gold are intended to provide,
