THE BUSINESS WORLD
COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, June 2l.-The city council OF
Dallas ought TO apply for a patent for the
manner in which they conduct the affairs
OF the city. At the meeting on last Tues
day the secretary announced that the time
for opening bids for lighting the city for
the ensuing year had arrived and that but
one bid had been handed in. Some Of the
c0uncilmen stated that other parties de.
sired to bee ome bidders, and suggested the
matter be deferred. Mayor Cabell very
properly severely criticised the members
Tor their careless manner OF doing business,
which might involve the city in expensive
suits at law. The lighting Of the city is
one OF the heaviest municipal expenses
which must be borne by the Taxpayers,
and the advertisement for bids was made
in such q manner that but few OF those
who would probably have made proposals
ever saw it. BY vote Of the council the
time for receiving bids was extended to the
second Tuesday in July. The HERALD
makes this announcement without fee or
reward. although by all honorable, fair
dealing this paper Is entitled
10 the city printing, but as Mayor Cabell
says, the careless manner OF dOing bust
ness" and perhaps willful carelessness by
tho council, the time was not extended
in it's case. The HERALD few
days ago, took occasion to speak
Of the unnecessary frequent meetings OF the
council, which to an outsider looks rs II
they we're only called for the purpose OF
beaplng expenses upon the city IN the way
OF salaries paid the members. In tact the
remarks of one of the cOunCllmen az its last
meeting was really refreshing when he as
serted that he supposed the HERALD
would publish that their meeting would
cost the city $N. Now meeting Is called
for Saturday evening next, for what pur-
pose no one knows, but every member who
attends will draw his pay, which at lea will
cover his meat bill for a week. and the tax
payers have to stand it. There is no doubt
that the city limits should be extended, so
that more councilmen could be elected, who
could, by their salaries, provide bread and
meat for their househld wants. 1t is a
good thing to be councilman in a .pecu-
MARY way, to say nothing of the honor
which attaches to the office. There is a
General idea prevailing that the aldermanic
pre-disposition is towards small eloquence,
snd it might be advantage
ous Of them to know that the pub
lie Is much less interested in their
smer pyroteohnics than in the prompt and
inexpensive discharge Of their routin
duties.

WOOL, HIDES AND PELTRIEs

Messrs. Manager & Avery's New York
wool circular of June 18th, says: "Since
our circular of the 2itn there has been no
improvement in the wool market. but the
situation has become worse. With the ex-
ception of medium woods, which have been
in good request. and some inquiry for fine
delaine, there has been no life to the
market. Worsted manufacturers have
been buyers for fine deaine to piece out
until the LIST OF July, when they will pay
the reduced duty on Australian combing;
and the consumers of medium grades hay
ing temporarily supplied themselves,
stocks are accommodating and prices weak
ening. The goods market shows no i'm
provement. Another large auction sale
was held yesterday, and the prices were so
low that the Journal OF Commerce mildly
states that at the lowest figure wool eau
possibly be had it will not be cheap enough
to duplicate the sale at profit In Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and other sections pro-
ducing medium woods, buyers have shown
considerable activity as well as nerve. In
the tine-wool districts scarcely any wool
has been marketed.
1.-The future value of wool is problemati-
cal. That the reduced duties on wool and
wooden goods must to Il greater or less de-
gree reduce the price of wool and the man.
UldCtuTeu trtlCle, anu lnut lne exact erect
can not be determined in II few weeks, admit
of no argument. That there is, and will
continue to be for time, u reduction in the
consumption of wool is also admitted. On
the other hand, manufacturers MAY begin
to buy wool before the markets are well
stocked. Spectators may see fortunes in
wool ut ruling rates, and by their compe-
tition for time give us an active market
to be followed by stagnation and losses
We believe the more conservative element
of the trade would prefer to allow the woods
to remain in growers hands until required
and to share with the farmer the profit, il
any, that accrues from holding

DRYGOODS,

a special from Boston says so far as cot.
ton goods IN first hands are concerned the
IL p movement shows no signs of
starting and sales are confined to small lots
for current wants. Light summer fabrics
have been in fair demand with iobbers and
retailers with some irregularity i'll prices.
Wamsutta brown and bleached shirtings
and sheetings have been reduced 1-2 to lie
per yard and slight concessions on some
other brands have been made, but the gen.
eral tone of the market is steady. Export
goods are we'll sold up and shipments are
running just about equal with last year,
Colored cottons are moving of moderately
at low prices. Print cloths are steady at $50
per yard for CAS- and Lice for Sos. Prints,
as usual ut this season, are very quiet, the
beers are cleaning up at the best prices they
can get. The outlook Is favorable for dark
work, but no samples have yet been shown
and no prices are named. Worsted dress
goods are selling -. moderately
for summer wear, but the
general movement is light. In the
market for wooden goods for mems wear
there continues to be depressed tone and
only small lots of the most desirable makes
are selling to the trade of clothiers.

MR. RAND1LNS CHANCES.

There is talk, in Democratic papers only,
of the election of Mr. Randall to the Speaker
ship by Republican votes AS ingeniously ex-
nounded by The Herald, the theory is that Mr..
Randall may lack the number of votes neces-
sary to nominate him in a Democratic caucus,
and in that event thirty of his friends and all
the Republicans may elect him, or he may
have votes enough to get a nomination, but
more than thirty Democrats may bolt, and in
that event the caucus nominee of the Demo-
Gratis may be elected by Republican votes.
These are nice theories. Perhaps it is possible,
considering the weakness of poor human ma
ture, that some stray Republican might be
willing enough to help Mr.. Randall to the
Speakership. But there is one thing abso-
lutely certain, and that is that Mr.. Randall
can never afford to be elected Speaker of the
House by Republican votes. And no one
seems to know this better than Mr.. Randall
himself He is Democrat, he says, and
nothing else.
To his enemies, no doubt, it seems goo
thing to represent that Mr.. Randall is the
especial favorte of the Republican members
of Congress. BY dint of this ingenious report
it is supposed that staunch and stalwart DEM
ocrats may be induced to vote against the
quasi Republican candidate. For some weeks
we have been told every day by certain DEM
ocratic journals that Mr. Randall was pecu
liarly the Republican choice for the Speaker
ship. Though nobody has been able to name a
single Republican who would vote for him,
or a single Republican member or newspaper
that really favored his election, still the story
has gone the rounds as other stories do with
out much challenging.
We suppose it safe to say that Mr. Randall
will not receive a single Republican vote for
Speaker Of the House. If he gets the support
of a majority in the Democratic caucus, no.
body will have pluck enough to bolt, and he
will have the entire Democratic vote in the
House. If he should by any possibility be
beaten in Democratic caucus, Mr.. Randall
would never dare to organize bolt, nor would
Republicans give him votes in preference to
their own nominee. The whole scheme. so far
as it depends upon the corporation of Repub-
lican members, is in the last degree childish.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The funniest proposition ever seriously made
comes from The (new) World. One can hardly be
sure, it is true. whether that journal is ever In
earnest. but if it is in this case, its reputation
rs an unconscious maker of jests is estab-
lished. The proposition is to nominate for
President Governor Cleveland, of New ork,
for Vice President Mr.. Mcdonald, of Indiana
This Is urged as denomination OF the "Old
ticket in principle, not in person" The "prin-
ciple" is found in the fact that Governor OF
New York and an eminent citizen OF Indiana
were nominated in 1876; therefore. 1t is rea-
soned, the Governor of NewYork and an en-
inent citizen of Indiana would surely win In
1884.
Mr. Cleveland is not Mr. Tilden. He has not
the popularity derived by Mr.. T:lden from
the overhauing of canal matters. Nobody
has suspected him of being reformer
no one has assailed him because
of his real or apparent hostility to corrupt
Jobs. He has been a moderately well-mean-
ing, rather weak and inefficient, and decidedly
vague and colorless Executive. Nobody gets
warm in speaking Of him, either In praise or
blame. He was a fair business man, nom-
mated because he was supposed to know moth
ing about politics, and elected because 1T hap
pened at that time that Republican voters
wanted to defeat Mr.. Folger. Nobody supposed
that Mr.. Cleveland would make a particularly
good Governor, and he has not disappointed
ANYBODY except some of his personal supporters.
A few of them imagined that he knew some
thing about political affairs, and could conduct
an important Office in such a manner as to win
great popularity, and they are sadly dIsap-
pointed.
The fun of the proposition is that the cart
Is set to draw the horse. Mr.. Mcdonald is
really one of the ablest democrats in
the country, and one of the most
popular. Having great strength in Indiana,
State of peculiar Importance in Presidential
campaign, Mr. Mcdonald might well enough
be nominated for President. He has the poiti-
cal experience which Governor Cleveland con-
spicuonsy lacks, and the learning the knowl-
edge of public affairs, the ability to deal with
questions of National policy. Dissenting from
him widely, we nevertheless recognize his
ability and his power in discussion. But it is
hard to dissent from Governor Cleveland
about anything in particular. If he has ideas,
we have not been able to detect them. In
honesty Mr. Mcdonald is at least his equal ;
and it may be said to his credit that he has
adhered to some unpopular opinions, with
much courage and tcnacity, to the wreck of
any political ambition he may have. The (new)
Vorlds ticket is all tail and no head. Nc
Donald and Cleveland might not win, but it
would not be absolutely ridiculous.
