Recently gentleman in Redbank N

The latest swindling racket now W
eing operated in the farming districts is that os
f offering lot of nice patterned calicoes at an a
bout half rates, and then, when the prospective hi
uyer is captured With visions fbargains, lot -
f valuless shoddy goods are offered at about r,
hree times their actual value, and thus the fo
uyer is bitten. The yarn is told that the SO. ne
allied ossslmeres were ibought at a bankrupt w.
ale in France, hence they are great bargains. tn

Crude oil has been worth go little d
Or some months past that many operators aor am
topped drilling and got to specializing in the Is
rticle. Week before last the Standard Oil
company, whose interest it is to keep the price
fcrude down, they being the only refners in .
be country, set up a game that cleaned out "a "a
lmost all the speeuiatofs ia a snal way-the ss ssa
roducers, of course, included-while they De
,ade millions of dollars by the operation and an
ot control of nearly all the oil. This action nc
the Standard has made the producers so hate ie i,e
hem, that we would not suppose it would be a ao
sfe for the company to repeat the trick again n
mis- winter. ~
The Pennsylvania railroad COM wi
any is adopting new style of through tickets, q
1hich it is thought will prevent them being tic
transferred and head off the scalpers. They tiy
re entirely different from those now in use, pr
aving the name of the purchaser written on mi
he back instead of being stamped with the M
seal of the company. The date of til
he sale will be punched directly over the sgna- fir,
nre, which will prevent the erasing OF both fa
ames and stamp from the ticket 1t is the in at
ention to gradually supersede the present style
nth this new style, as the company has been m
roubled considerably by the sale of through N
ickets by scalpers. to
BY q singular coincidence we fr

art of Great Britain-all names that were " n
amiliar in Colonial days-entered into q COM ~
,act, by virtue of which the independence of ~ ~
he United States was formally acknowledged &C &C
" the mother country. That vas indeed an W "
ccaslon for American Thanksgiving, and its r.
centennial anniversary should not be forgotten. -
The members of the Pittsburgh m
Jhamber of Commerce have been discussing the &c
moral aspects Of speculation, and have left off
ust where they started. A special committee,
o whom condemnatory resolution was referred,
hus disposed of the whole matter: "The evils Ia
# manias in trade are naturally inherent In -
human society, or at least in commercial COM
nunities, and it is simply impossible to define Oh
where legitimate trade ends and speculative d.
operations begin. We must, therefore, content II
ourselves With pointing out 10 business men the ~
langer they run in accepting rumors and sen, p
ationsl stories designed to mislead and bring | n
lbout panics for the benefit of the few origi-
lators."
