himself very freely to-day to your CORE.
spondent regarding tho present great de.
preston in the shipping industry in the
North Of England. 81
"Ths ship:bulldipg trade in the North Is
practically at standstill," said Mr., Burt
and there probably never has been a timo
IN its history when the outlook for an i'm.
proyement was as indefinite and uncom.

mean-is fearful in tho extreme, Tho IN.
Dor organizations, usually strong, as a rnie
IN M tho c, North, are wholly unable to answer
the calls upon them for relief, those lew
members who have managed to retain
work being unable to meet the demands
which are made upon them. The distress
IN Sunderland is particularly marked.
Many hitherto well-to.d do families have had
TO apply to the authorities for relief" -
IN answer to question regarding the
coal and iron trade Of Northumberland.
Mr.. Burt said that there was not 40 mueh
to complain ofiu that direction. The trade
was fairly good, but not nearly 80 brisk AZ
It usually is at this period OF the wear. Al
Durham the 1depression in the coal trade
was very serious. = Thousands wero also mn. |

Mr.. Burt, in reply to question as TO the |
cauees Of this unuaual Hiackness in trade |
which had become almost national in its
character, said that in the shipping trade

In the coal and iron trade, oyerproduction

T.
BosToN, MAsa, June l0.-The Aayeriiser
in ito weekly review Of the wool market
says: The market has again beer, very
dull, buyers having tho advantage. The
stocks Of wool with dealers, are, however,
az yet SO light that prices are fully sus.
tanned, considering the limited INQUIRY,
Receipts are now increasing each week,
Reports from the interior arc that there ia
g luil to tho speculative tendency Of pre-.
vious Seasons. Buying wool Oh the shesp's
back is very generally deprecated by con
servativs men, aud more SO than ever.
when the tendency. is 10 lower pricee;ac.
cording to most We've. But it'ia certain
that wool should be sheared before 1t is
bought and also be-a allowed TO collect at
central points. No, one can foresee the
future Of the wool market. It is well TO
hope ior, the best, but 10 make wool active,
woolen goods must improve radically. Ia.
stead Of an increegsd consumption Of wool,
there Is serious talk Of many mills being
closed in July, and even now mills are
not being worked to their fullest capacity.
The market for knit goods Is in much the
same condition as woolens, and : papers
are being circulated among manufacturers
90 as to secure curtailment Of production
by shutting down ior, sixty or thirty days.
The only! encouraging reports c,me from
the West regarding 4 the crops, which
promise 70 be larger than Last year, and
we all know. that that means later and i'm.
proved trade at the West. 1 Money Is, how.

THE coLoRED MAN IN CONVENTION. r
There are some general features OF the
convention worthy Of note, As an Amer.
ican who believes in the political equality
Of oil Americans, Lam proud OF the COL
ored men who Eat In this convention. They
were Well.dretssd, well.behaved, and when
one Of them took the floor TO addrcss the
he was listened to with respect-
iul attention. More than this, the colored
men- acquitted -themuelves we'll in their
speeches and their poin!a Of order. Except
when the accomplished Governor Long, Of
Massachusetts, or Major Mckinley, Of Ohio,
ast temporarily, the chair was never 30
well filled as by Lynch, the Temporary
Of Misaissippi. Lynch has q
good presence, Is well.vereed in parlla.
mentsry practice, has a keen eye, un.
bounded courage, and voice that
attention and respect. Flo Is u
fine speaker, a man OF force and easy man
ner. lie will be elected to Congress this
fall II the Bourhons don't count him out.
A good deal has been aaid about colored
men being purchasable commodities in
politics. Certainly no man ever received
more loyal support than President Arthur
received from the colored rnsn who come
here for him.. 1t was needless to argue
with thcm."sS They had come for Arthur
and they were going TO stay with him
while he had q chance. They were nearly
all on that side, but that takes nothing
from tho manliness OF their behavior.
