There is nothing in the wool market re.
ports this week that is different from the
news Of last week, and we therefore omit
The report ilom our columns. No change
Of prices are reported, though all grades
Of wool are reported as firm at lliormer
quotations. The excitement that existed
il this wool region during the past week
or two has subsided. and matters are
resting quiet again. From 3 more careful
survey Of the field we are OF ahe opinion
thst our estimates Of last week OF the
Imouut OF wool recently purchased were
possibly little too high. A good many
Of the farmers oi this county, especially,
aud also Of Jefferson, are still holding.
The Cadiz wool.buyers estimate that
three tIths Of the wool clip Of Harrison
county has been soId, and that two.fiithe,
or probably 10000 pounds, still remain
10 the hands OF the farmers.

GREAT RAILROAD CORPORATIONS
like all other great affairs must reach
climax. From this point they may
through the genius and influence of
great men and plausible reasoners,
build and run upon fictitious basis
for long time. But there must come
an end to this, and the structures
based upon credit, the expenses of
which are more than the receipts must
fail to meet the demands. Such is the
condition Of the Reading Railroad
Company. The means it borrowed
through the plausible statements of
its officers, were used to bolster it
up until many interested were enabled
to escape. 1t now becomes the inter-
est of another class of creditors to
diminish the corporate franchise as
much as possible, and that they may buy
out for song, or crush out all voters
but themselves, appoint a trustee or
receiver aud blot out the entire stock
debt and floating debts, by putting
the whole concern up at public sale
and buying it for less than its real
worth, that the corporation may start
again in the race for trade, travel and
profit. just what effect this will have
upon other great, competing corpora
tions is a matter for investors and
stock operators 10 consider Such u
road with its franchises purchased at
less than its real worth may thereafter
be operated to such an advantage as
to break down or seriously injure COM
