PRINT CrorHs-Some time ago. WIN IL was pss.
posed to establish . speculative maiket Tor print
cothshere In connection with tho speculation iu est
ton, 1t was suggested that the operation wouldprob.
ably prove anything but advantageouj to themanu-
facturers Now there comes from rall River the
statement that the situation in the manufactured
print cloths is becoming more disoDuraging, and
there seems to be no way to check the downward
tendency In prices unless the factories are closed
for some time" The price, il my be observed,
hasnot greatly changed since about the 22d Of
mary nor was tho change considerable cvea
them On tho first Of December snd on the last Of
that month the price for 6fs was 3.19 cents, hsv.
ing meanwhile stood part Of the time at S 3
cents On the 10th Of January 3.17 cents and on
the 10th 3.18 were reported, and for some three
weeks past the price has remained unchanged st
3. 1 1 cents, The most discourasng feature OF the
matter is that, while sheetiDgs remsin entirely
steady in price, and raw cotton advanced about y
of cent in December the PRICE OF print cloths
does not improve. Apparently the market begins
to resemble other speculative markets in having
very little to do with copditions or demand and
supply.
BARRED WIRE. -Haging agreed to advance the
price to four cents for painted and i've cents for
galvanized car lots, and Il cent additional for less
than car lots, the manufacturers deposited certi-
fed checks for 81 500 each, to be forfeited IN case
they are caught selling at less than the agreed
rates. Before many months have elapsed it ID
likely that we shall hear complaint that the manu-
facture of barbed wire has so increased that there
is no profit in 1t for anybody. Pool restrictions Of
that sort only invite an increase in production, and
usually bring about more destructive rivalry
than that which they aim to prevent.

NOTES ON INDUSTRY AND TRADE.

IuMBER-Tho review of the lumber product IN
the Northwest presents some features OF peculiar
interest. Notwithstanding the dulness OF business
in other branches the quantity of white pine cut
in 1854 was S,075. .533 O5i feet, an increase over
t1e duantity cut in 1888 of more than per cent.
There was still larger increase, over l5 per cent,
in tho production of shingles. Nor does this enorm-
GUS production appear to have been stimulated by
any demand hitherto. for 1t Is stated that there
was on hand at the mills 3.5l6.057,4l6 feet of
lumber which Is 43 per cent OF the entire quantity
cut during the past year, and this with the lumber
Mt the distributing markets. makes the total sup
ply on hand nearly 6.O00. 900 OF threeauarters
of last years production. Tho only explanation
apparent Is that there had been o general ex-
pectaton of enormous increase in building
operatons early this year. because of the low rate
of wages and the cheapness of nails, iron and other
materials IL the expected activity in building
should not arrive, lumber is likely to be remarka-
bly, h zap also, but meanwhile we are destroying
the forests with great rapidity.
The COKE PooI~-lt is stated that the breaking
ND of tho pool has been averted and that the same
combination that managed its work last year will
continue to control. But in connection with this
the statement appears that another largo increase
in the number of ovens in operation has been or
dered an increase Of per cent having been made
last week Whether the agreement TO increase the
production was in any degree the of the con-
tuuance of the pool is not stated. According to al
accounts the demand is increasing, however.
RAILROAD EARNINGs.-The returns OF railway
business for January are quite satisfactory, par
tculary with regard to the transactions OF the far
Western and Southern roads, The earnings OF
seventy roads for the month are given by The
Financial chronicle, and show an increase In the
aggregate of 1925 900. or about per cent. At the
same time however tho mileage of the roads thus
reporting is LOG miles more than in January,
| 1884, an increase of nearly per cent In conse-
auence tho average earnings Of all the roads per
mile operated are but very little larger in January,
1885. than they were in January 1884. 1t is to be
nouced too that great part of the increase comes
from roads which do not represent the general
| traffic of the country. Thus an increase
| of SlIs.s24 is credited to the Mexican Cen
tral, and $4,000 to the Canadian Pacihc
Tho Central Pacific also shows an increase OF
| 81 OF 600. and the Louisville and NASHVILLE o.
Sl28 900, and these are the only roads reporting
an increase of more than 100000. On tho othel
hand tho Northern Pacific reports decrease o.
Sbs. 900, and the Grand Trunk OF Canada do
crease Of about $4,000. But tho roads whos'
traffic is more directly Indicative of the genera

Members of the various trades organizations
throughout the city might well take hint from
o communication sent to the Central Labor
Union Yesterday 1t was from an employer
who declared that he would give no more work
to men who belonged to SOcialistic societies.
The Union appointed a committee to remon-
strate with him. 1t would have been just as
effective, perhaps more effective, to pass reso-
luton denOuncing the dynamite methods OF

Lovers of gladatorial sports will bepleased
to learn that baseball players are already
actively preparing for work. because the
almanac assures them that spring Is near at
hand. The differences which at one time
threatened the prosperity of .some of the
leading clubs have been adjusted, and the
League and the American Association have re-
sumed friendly relations. We suggest to the
managers of the Polo Grounds that, before the
season opens, they shall alter the exits of their
grand stand so that in case of panic or riot a
few of the spectators could get out alive Loss
of life and limb at baseball games should be
strictly confined to the players.
The extension of the boundaries of Yellow
stone Park as provided in a bill which has
3ust passed the House seems in general to be
a wise measure If approved by the Senate it
will not only do much to prevent depredatlons
within the present servatiOn but will set great
safeguard around the immense forests hitherto
q part of the pubic domain, which, for the sake
of the important rivers rising in that region,
should always be preserved. But care should be
taken by the Senate to inquire into the amend
ment recently tackled on the bill, which leaves
outside of the Park limits some of the IL ost
interesting features OF that curious region.
That looks like job.
The death of DR.. Leopold DamrOsch will be
a painful shock to the music-lOving public OF
New-YOrk. He had long been known as an
enthusiastic and painstakng musician. The
Oratorio Society and the Symphony Society
wears ago showed what he could do as an organ
izer and conductor but it was only during the
present winter that his work became fully ap-
preciated by the public. This appreciation was
due to the phenomenal success which crowned
his work at the Metropolitan Opera House.
There he won his well-deserved laurels. IL ]:
