How Wool Is Handled nj the
WOOL House.

steub,nIIlie Wool Growers Bulletin.
Any one dtsiring to ship wool to this
house, and understanding the aims and
objects, writes for sacks, which are sent
out. he paying freight The sacks are
marked ready for shipping. The consig.
nor puts mark on the Jacks when he
shipi-his own name OF. initials, Tor in.
stSnce-so that we can tell hiS sacks,
When The wool Is received we pay The
freight and draysge, which ia charged up
to the consisBor. 1t il weighed and mar.
ked with our number, and the consienOr
i. receipled for the gross weight. We
place Insurance upon the wool, grade IT,
give each consignor credit on our books
for his d IiIerent grades in pounds. The
grade Of each man ~ thrown into the pile
where it belongs. A man may have FIVE
or even ten different grades and his wool
will go into as many different piles, un-
les he desires his wool kept separate az
ter the grading. huI.ia dim
When the wool is graded it is under
stood 10 he ready for sale, in q shape thai
manufacturers wish it when they desire
to buy. The object Of grading is to oh.
tain for the wool grower just what BIZ
wool ia worth. .....
TERMS MANNER OF HANDLING, SECURITY
The object in charging commission i,
to make the house Self.suPporting. AnC
in doing business for consignors every.
thing is made as safe as any business car
be. Those who have the responsibility
Of managing the house are placed under
heavy bonds, properly secured. Wool is
kept insured, and besides a Waterman il
kept in the building night and day.
We think that we are now in a situa-
tion TO make good sales for consignors
when the market is in a condition 10 do
So The wool is in nice shape, and az iar
as consignors, manufacturer, dealers and
agents have examined the stock on hand
and mode Of handing, they have express.
ed Themselves as highly pleased, espe.
Ciaily the first named.
For all our work and expense one cent
aud half per pound is charged. II the
wool is kept separate after grading, d
hali.Cent more is charged.
We aim to give satisfaction as far as il
is possible to do so. In fact, when we are
not able to do 40 the business will be
stopped. In order to be able to give en-.
tire satisfaction we desire correspondence
to write us for explanations and ins.ruc.
tioHs, giving us whatever advice and
counsel they may deem proper. In
short, the aim is to handle wool in more
satisfactory manner than has been done,
and II satisfaction is not given the eud is
not accomplished.

Ma. DAVID WA0ESEB, who lives over

candidate for seat in the Ohio Senate
from Belmont and Harrison counties, is
experiencing the usual tribulations Of an
A,pirun. for public position. He is un.
dergoiug an overhauling at the hands Of
one Of the Bellairs newspapers. Said
newspaper has received an inIimation
that one Of Mr.. WAgnet's nights at Gin.
cinnati, during the session Of the State
Democratic Convention in that city last
year, was spent in an irregular manner
in such a manner, in fact, az is not in
keeping with good domestic habits. II
would also seem that the editor Of the
Beliaire Lender ia involved, as an accom-.
panyiDg friend on the decision, in an un'
saIisfactory explanation Of .Wngener's
whereabouts and whatabou!s that night
The whole affair seems to be sad case
OF going away from home to attend a
Democratic Convention and getting de-
moralirsd by the associations incident &c
such a gathering.

business grew rapidly and largely. The
great interest in the State campaigns and
the great Presidential contest with the
long continued excitement rs to the
result, largely increased the sales Of
newspapers and correspondingly added Il
the profits. Young Broom in some weeks
