The Prospects for Wool this season.

The Prospects for Wool this Season.
We are indebted to Henry K. List, ESQ,
for the following circular letter from the
wool house Of Justice, Bateman & Co., Of
Philadelphia: EFFsEF Tfs
During tho last thirty days wool has
been dull. Manufacturers have been mold.
Ing out Of the market, and have bought
only enough to supply their most pressing
wants. The stockoi wool In tho Eastern
markets Is unusually small for the season.
Some qualities have entirely disappeared,
and will not again be found until the ar
rival Of the new clip. Fine grades are
most abundant.
The advancing tendency manifested
here has been checked by the course oil
tho London auctions, where fine Austria.

The backward, spring and cold wet
weather will make shearing later than
usual. Manufacturing and general bus
tness Is In such laDgushing state that
but little interest is shown In the ap-
pfoaching clip. Wedo not remember "a
have seen 80 much indifference TO the
opening prices Of the new wool as il now
shown In the Eastern markets,
We think the opening urices Of lasl

Day before yesterday, says the Iowa
STATE Register, a couple of movers coy
cred wagons came rolling through the
streets bound for "Kansas or bust, or
some other Western port. When they
arrived at the corner of Walnut and
fift Ii streets they halted, and from one
shghteda stalwart Young man, VINO

Kept his shop. He didn't Know what
Recorder, nor whether it was the Recor-
der he wanted to see, but it was the ,fel-
Ter what married folks. Just then an
aged masculine alighted from the other
wagon and informed the :yonngSter that
II was the Clerk that issued them license,
and of they started accompanied by a
girl, the woman's daughter, to the Court
House, and followed by crowd of idlers.
There they procured "them licence,' and

MISNEsoTA is unfortunate. Some
wears ago her State treasurer, who held
the Office for two terms, gave WAY to his
relative, who was elected his successor.
and, and after the second Treasurer had
served term or two, it was disclosed
that the first had been a dcfaultcr for
several years and that the second had
carried the defaltcation and added
something to it. Both Treasurers had
been doing banking and brokerage
business with the States money, and had
lost large part of it, During all this
time one McIlrath was Auditor OF State
and he served until year ago. Ills
successor refused to 'carry the short
comings of his predecessor, and an III
vestigation took place. showing that the
Auditor had been a partner IN business
with the defaulting State Treasures ana
that he, too, was detaulter to consider
able sum. The Auditor was check on
the State Treasurer and the Treasurer
was n check on the Auditor, but, the two
uniting, the State has been severely and
outrageously plundered. 1t Is remark
able that the same accident that happen
ed in Iowa two years ago, with respect
to the defaultiag State Treasurer, should
have. happened in Minnesota: in Iowa :,
when the State Treasurer was reelected
the GovernC omitted to obtain from h m
a new bond lor his new term. SO ne was
really in Office without any official bond.
1t seems that this was also the case III
Minnesota, and the Auditor was not re-
Quired to give new bond, and served
several years without one. In neither
case had the State any remedy-C"'cGgo

THE Petersburg Hder tehs story
about Gov. Moses Of South CoroIih"'
which indicates that even before the war
that official was not stranger to DIS
honest trickcrv. Moses was married III
1859, and went North on q bridal tour
passing through Petersburg. ON MS
way back he lost a trunk containing
part of his wife's wearing apparel ne
claims $3.50 as compensation for the
trunk, which was paid to him by the
Petersburg Railroad Company. The
trunk was soon after found, and Mr.
Moses was requested to take ms goous
and return the money. He rephed that
he had duplicated the articles lost, ana
did not care for the trunk. The comp
any opened it, and as the contents were
found to be worth about one-iourth the
sum paid to Moses, they again notified
him to return the $3.50 and take his artl-
cleS. Moses paid no attention to the re-
quest until the war had been going on
for some time, and Confederate paper
money had become comparatively worth
less while laces, ribbons, and the otne'
contents Of his trunk had gone up great
" IN value. Then he closed with inc
compsnys offer, and regslned ms
trunk, paving the $3.50 in Confederate
notes-PittSburqh Post.
