The Wool Interests.

From n conversation with Mr.. s. Hork-
heimcr, who has just returned from the
East, and who has been one Of our lead
ing wool buyers this season,we learn that
there is an unsettled feeling among the
holders oil wool in New York in conse.
sequence Of the agitation going on for
areluction in the tariff on woods. The
manufacturers are holding of in their
purchases in order TO see what Congress
will 10. They reason that if the duty
i.tO be reduced wool will be lower, and
therefore the man who buys stock at
the present time will be stuck with an
Improbable purchase. This uncertainty
iprOducing staguation in trade which
il operating gradually upon the market,
aud il continued will break down prices
not only for the wool now on hands, but
for the coming clip Of this year.
The fight is the old one that has been
threatened for a long time past, and that
the Ohio and West Virginia wool grow
sm discussed at their late meeting at Co
Inmbus. In fact the contest is part ot
the general fight going on over the whole
tariff question. On the one side are the
growers and on the other are the import
eF and quite number OF the manu-
lecturers. over year ago we published
the results Of canvass among the wool
dealers Of New York upon this subject,
and it was found that a number OF Them
were warmly in favor Of a repeal OF the
duty on wool, on the ground that it
would cheaper the raw material and thus
stimulate woOlen manufacture in this
country, enabling US to control not only
our own American markets but also 10
export Goods to other markets, a., for in.
stance, to South America.
Ills not easy TO see how far this result
would benefit this country, even suppos-
ingIhat it would, as contended, stimulate
the manufacture Of woolen goods. OF
course foreign wools would soon advance
in price under this new opening for them,
while our own wools would decline, and
thus while we might produce some class.

A NEW York lady recently wrote a
letter TO the Herald, complaining that
ladies were obliged to stand in street cars
while men enjoyed the luxury of seats.
Another correspondent has therefore been
aroused to express his views. He kept
notes, and says:
az have given up my seat to 81 who
would be classed as ladies; five said,

IS said, 'Thank you, SIR To II old gen.

n.n,Ii,lre. for the last fiscal year that will
!, read with general interest. II is an
.,bibil in which every tax payer isdirect-
y concerned.
,r,,. C,cur Makers Of wheeling
and the New Revenue keguia-
ton.
The recent decision Of the Internal
Revenue Department in relation to the
T,i.ion of the cigar making and the
ri,,r selling business, Is creating eOnsid-
s,,ble feeling in our stogie trade. While
tbe .lorie trade OF this city is, in the ag-
,,rr,,e, something immense, yet by for
lbe larger proportion Of the manufac.
,p,era are what may be properly classed
,m,ll dealers. That is TO say, nearly
s,srv man who manufactures cigars is
alan retailer Of the same. As the law
b,. been heretofore interpreted, there
"a. simply a line Of demarkation in
III. shape Of a railing between
,L,, part Of an establishment where the
cv,r. were made and that part where
thew were sold. The manufacturer was
tba. enabled to either supervise his work.
men or work himself at the bench, and
:, the same time to attend to his sales
J.partment without additional cost in
,hr way Of rent or salesmen.
Thia retail department Of the Stogie
bp,ine.. i. TO these small manufacturers
oui,e an important item. Perhaps We
are justified in saying that with many Of
them it is the principal il not the only
source Of profit in their business. Some
Of them with whom we have talked allege
that the new Interpretation Of the law is
nothing more nor less than blow
At the small men in the interest Of
l,rre manufacturers. They maintain
,hat il, they are required to rent one
room in which to carry on the manu-.
lsclure Of cigars and another in which to
.ell, either at wholesale or. retail, it will
more than double their expenses, and
thu. drive them. out Of the business.
Again, they alIege that so far as known
to them, considering the extent OF the
manufacture, Wheeling presents the
ievest number Of attempts TO deiraud the
revenue, and that there has been no COM
plaint from the government that its rev.
enuea have suffered from the method in
which the cigar business has been hereto
fore conducted. This claim they think the
collectors books Of this city will fully es-
tablisl. II then, they say, the government
has gotten its revenue without extra vig-
ilAnce levolving upon its officers on ac-
count Of the manner in which the manu-
iacturers have heretofore been allowed to
carry on their business, why then should
they be put to the double expense invOlv-
ell in the division Of their business.
We should be sorry to think that the
reason alleged by the cigar men, to.wit,
that II isn plan 10 enable the big fish to
est up the little ones, had any foundation
in fact, and we do not think it has. For
iIi. reason We hope that the matter may
lie reviewed so as either to let the prac'
tice of the. past remain intact, or else il
any change bc made that ii will not be
oppressive 10 the large number OF small
dealers who constitute the great mass OF
the manufacturers in Wheeling.
