this may be realized remains to be seen. While
we look for q steady demand for wool at about
present prices, the prospects for any decided nm
provement are not very encouraging, especially
while the goods trade remains in its present UNI
satisfactory state. There is, however, a better
feeling. We have reached, it Is evident. the

to wool but all kinds of merchandise. The sales

we have had TO notice for a long time. In in
terror markets nothing of any consequence has
been done. Buyers can now find more abundant
stocks and much larger supplies in Eastern

was never larger or better and, at the same time,
prices are comparatively low.

A One.Line Railway.

A very clear description is given in The
Field" of the Lastique Balance railway,
which has been the object OF so much atten-
ton at the agricultural show in Paris. It
consists OF a single bar of iron, supported in
its horizontal position three or four feet high
10y iron standards rising like the legs Of a
trcssel from flat plate resting on the ground.
Along the top Of the bar rail runs deeply
grooved wheel carrying its own oil boxes
and attached TO long iron frame on each
side, which is bent downward and outward
and fitted with panier or carriers hanging
down to within short distance OF the
ground. Into these receptacles is placed the
load to ba carried half Of it on each side
but if the one side should be rather more
heavily loaded than,the other, working Of the
apparatus is not thereby destroyed, nor is
the friction perceptbly increased. The rail-
way can be put up by n couple of wOrkmen
at the rate of several hundred yards a day,
and whore curves have to be contrived, all
that is necessary is to bend the bar rail to
the required extent.
1t seems that the apparatus, which has
since been patented was devised by NJ. Las
,ique in Algeria, 10 enable the Alta plant,
which is used in paper manufacture, to be
brought from remote districts to the nearest
towns. Carriage on the backs Of mules or
camels was found SO expensive that it did not
pay to transport this cheap product in that
way, and it will be easily understood that il
it was found cheaper to carry such things by
the one-liue railway, there can be no objec-
ton to the new invention on economic
grounds. With the help of it, it is found
that pony or mule or camel can easily draw
twenty to thirty loaded wagon baskets. Its
utility in Europe Is supposed likely to be
greatest on large farms, where it may be en-.
ployed for divers purposes, such as the car
riage of roots, stone, water aud manure. BY
putting chair into the baskets, each vehi
Gle can also be made to carry two men with
ease and comfort. London Globe
