WOOL.
Few New Features in the Market Changes
in QnotRtions.

BosroN, June l3.-Thc Advertiser, in its
weekly review OF the wool market, says
The market presents few new features
and we can make but few changes in quo
tations. The tone is fairly steady, aud
sales would have been larger had moi
manufacturers been interested in the
large auction sales OF tlannels and had
awaited the result before purchasing,
There has not been, however, much hold
ing back on this account, for manuiac-
turers are now stocking up ahead OF their
wants and are buying only as their orders
compel them tn. New woods are not sell.
ing freely, and transactions, with the ex.
ception Of Texas and California, are mostly
in old wool. The market is, perhaps, a
shade easier for lots OF \ Aeeces, but NN
Is firm. There have been larger sales Of
Michigan. Some little Texas has been
sold above CSC, ono lot at 24c and another
at 25c, but these are for fancy lots and do
not mako market quotation. New Texas
can be sold on a basis OF 55a57Ic per
secured pound, but above that manu-
facturers are not paying in general way.
And yet some recent sales have been
made in the State on the basis OF Csc
secured. There is danger in forcing
prices too high. Michigan wool can be
bought on a basis Of COS secured, SO that
manufacturers will be sure 10 give it the
preference over Texas, even with the same
price. Price has given the call to Texas
and territory woods in the past. In Sep.
tember, for instance, Michigan was at 30a
3!c, and the best Texas at 22a23c. The
latter got the business, and, while Texas
wools were all sold out at the prices,
Michigan dragged and declined TO 38a99c.
Manufacturers have now no prejadiees in
buying wools. The wool that is the
cheapest, all other things being equal, will
get the trade. There never was so little
Texas come forward on consignment, aud
most OF the wool there is now in second
hands.

THE TORIES.

II the Tories were strong men, with q
firm grasp Of the situation, out OF this net
Tie danger they might pluck the flower
safety; but they are in the aggregate
neither strong nor sensible. Disraeli 80
absolutely dominated the last Tory Cabi
net that nobody discovered the fact that
most OF his lieutenants were dull, incom'
petent men. His death revealed the fact
but so long rs the party was in opposition
II didn't much matter. Now that author.
ity has been thrust upon them, the full
measure OF the calamity is seen. Most Ol
the survivors OF the old Ministry-notably
Sir Stafford NorthCote, Mr.. Cross, Mr..
Smith and Lord MannerB-are entirely
unequal to the emergency. Yet, by rea'
son OF their position, they are making
strenuous efforts 10 dictate q policy, keep
the younger men Of brains down, and i'm.
pose an edete Bourbonism upon the
country.
Fortunately, the Marquis OF Salisbury
has different and better conCep ton oI
the situation, and is said to be disposed to
send as many OF the terrapin school oi
statesmen into the House OF Lords as pos
aible, and clear the deck in the Commons
for younger men, like Churchill, Clarke,
Stanhope, Gorst and Brodrick.
Cabinet gossip is necessarily inChoate,
inasmuCh as 1t represents personal and
clique ambitions rather than clear proba'
bilfties. Perhaps the most interesting
feature Is the effort to keep Lord Lyttor
| of the slate, more on account OF his odioat
personal reputation than his capacity tc
work political mischlei. As to The will
ingness OF tho majority to make Sails
bury's :ask as onerous and as unpleas
ant Us possible, the Liberal meeting a
Plymouth last night, where a resolution
10 contest the reelection OF Mr.. Clarke, il
he be put In the Cabinet, with the utmost
vigor, was adopted with immense cheer
Ing, furnishes significant straw.

sALIsDUnY's TASK
ofFormIug New MInistry-The Situation
SummarIHed.

OF Forming u New Ministry-The Situation
Summarized.
LONDON, June l3.-When the Marquis
OF Salisbury left the Queen at Balmoral, al
9 o'clock this afternoon, IL WAS with the
understanding that he would refuse the
responsibility OF Office, unless she should
be able to extort from Mr.. Gladstone q
pledge that he would secure the support
OF the Liberal party for a coercion bill on
the lines Of Earl Spencer's demands. As
the Queen will not see Mr.. Gladstone
until Wednesday, the crisis is therefore
delayed until that day. Mr.. Gladstone
will probably ask how, II he could not
unite the Liberals on his own bill, he can
do so on Tory measure, and decline to
give the required pledge.
The temptation is strong 10 summarize
the situation by saying that the English
were willing to condonc the surrender Of
Majuba Hill, the desertion Of Gordon, the
the scuttling from the SoHdan, 1.-The loss OF
Egypt, the insult OF the attack on Penjdeh,
the disgrace OF Sir Peter Lumsden, and
the mortiiying funk in the face OF Russia;
but that the overthrow Of the Ministry oc-
CURED the very moment it was proposed
to touch the sacred beer. While this
statement would be picturesque and true
in It's essentials 1t would be none the less
misleading. The Ministry only went down
because they wished to.
RIDING FOR A FALL.
In a dispatch OF May 0 an interview
with distinguished member Of the House
OF Commons was given and everything
has since happened rs therein outlined.
He said then that the Ministry were riding
for fall and preferred it to como on the
budget issue. II that assertion had then
been printed here everybody would have
laughed II TO scorn, because it is an Eng.
lish habit 10 gee things sixty hours after
they have happened. Now after the lapse
OF nearly wcekeVerybodyhas discovered
that the Ministry really planned their de.
feat to escape from the results OF hopeless
Cabinet dissensions.
There is much proof in support Of this
view, but even II there were none, the
election Of the Radical leaders would be
sufficient in itself. They must go to the
length Of Boosting Of the trick. AT best
they respond only with winks and grins
when charged with it. Not onlyhave the
Radicals forced their actual foe into po-
sition Of responsibility at the one moment
Of all others most inopportune for it, but
they have won great internal victory by
whipping the Wings into subordinate
place in the Liberal party. In the coming
campaign the Radicals will dictate the
whole party platform, and there will he
no coercion plank in it. Some OF the
Wings, like Brassey, will be sent up 10
the House OF Lords. Others will be
shelyed less amiably, and Dixie and
Chamberlain will be the real rulers IN the
next Parliament.

Present Burgess Offutt and Commits
sioners Hamill, Helbig and Jamison.
The Burgess was authorized and
directed to employ the county sur
veyor or to examine the plats of
Wilson'S First and Second Additions
to the Town of Oakland, and to locate

Burgess Offutt suggested that the
receipts for the present, to-wit: From
uncOllected tax bills of 1884, $236.14,
from taxes for 1885, S1.O53.O8, from
county 5000, total, S1,489 %, be ex-
pended as follows: Set apart for
Bailiff, S33S.S0, for lamps. S72.45, for
election, $1,000, for Burgess and Com
missioners $500, for clerk, $500
total, S532.25; which would leave a
balance of S94697. OF this amount
$500 is to be set aside for the reduc-
ton of our present indebtedness,an and
the balance, S446.97, be used upon the
streets.
