nation in commercial circles, but in most branches
OF business there is such depression as leads 10

remarkable result. On Thursday gold closed at 1928

A special meeting of the Common Council
was held yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
The object of the meeting was to see if the
Board of Common Council would concur with
the Board of Aldermen in the passage of the
order that was passed by the Aldermen at a
former meeting, to the effect that the fire
alarm should embrace four circuits instead of
one, and that boxes should be put up, the total
expense not exceeding $3.50. Mr.. Taylor, of
Ward 8, moved that the matter be laid on the
table till the next regular meeting. Mr.. Wal
dron, of Ward s, hoped that the matter might
be acted on at this meeting. The Council
voted to concur with the Aldermen by vote
of II to 3.
A number of papers were passed and re-
ferred in concurrence.
A petition was presented signed by Edward
Brooks and forty nine others for plank walk
on Danforth street from Vaughan street to
Vaughan's bridge. Referred to Committee on
Streets. -Adjourned.

Remarks.-Ihere is no material change in Wool
since last week. Trade continues quiet and manu-
facturers are purchasing only in small lots as want
ed at previous prices.
The New York market is devoid of interest. Com
sumers in view OF the unsatisfactory position of the
wooden trade refusing to anticipate current reuuiIe-
ments unless at concessions from current prices
which sellers, with remarkably light stocks are un-
willing to do. There has been considerable business
in sheep SKINS the aggregate transactions reaching
some six hundred bales, at prices not made public
In Philadelphia the market continues dull, and al
though there is no quotable change in prices, the
tendency is in favor OF the buyer. The doubts ex-
listing as to the course to be pursued by Congress on
the tariff and financial questions well as the in
stability OF the precious metal destroying all conf
dence in the permans ncy Of values, and manufac-
turers only purchase from hand to mouth,
