A consumptive-looking man, lame and fee
BILE, and carrying pint bottle full of some
thing, halted a pedestrian on Bates street yes
terday and said;
81 found this bottle on the corner back there,
and wish you'd tell me what's in it,
The other took it, removed the cork and
snuffed in full breath. The next instant he
staggered against the wall, clawing the air and
checking and gasping, and it was full minute
before he blurted OUT
Why you internal IDIOT that's hartshorn!'
"Well, I'm perfectly willing to take your
word for it without extra INSULT observed
the invalid in an injured voice. and he took
his bottle and walked off like a man who had
been abused with the least excuse.-Free Press.

The Wool Market.

The wool market may be said to
be very quiet and uncertain. al
though large dealers are holding
with a good deal OF confidence
that there viii be an advance on
the present prize s. The Wool
Grocers' Bulletin, in the last issue,
sums up the features Of the mar
ket as follows:
The quotations below will give
a fair idea, we suppose, OF the
Eastern markets. although sellers
complain that they cannot cover
the quotations by actual sales,
Some of the reviews would indi-
cate weakening of the market,
and we have private advices from
the East, informing us that GER.
tain dealers have gone cut of the
inar8et in "stand from under"
way, that indicate caution at least.
On the other hand some of the
most conservative firms in the
country are holding their stocks
strong at figures even higher than
present quotations, aud making
purchases whenever possible at
current prices. While such influ-
entail papers as the IL s. Econ
omist. of New York, and the Ship.
ping List, of Boston, seem to en-
courage holders to the belief that
wool must still further advance.
In one sentence IL may be said
that this Is an uncertain time with
a new clip OF 230, 600, 900 pounds
just about to come on the market.
Every one desires to he on the
crest of the wave, and we are frank
to say that we know no more than
others as to when this il to come.
The most seem to believe that it
has not yet come. We are rather
inclined to the opinion that wool
may go a little higher, and as to

and 40c. to 4Sc. not including ''fan-
cy" prices.
