BosroN, April 1.-THE Advertiser in ite
weekly review Of the wool market says
The market shows more business and
more interest from manufacturers than for
some weeks. Still the amount Of wool
actually sold this week has been small, aa
some OF the sales reported represent the
transactions accumulated in two or three
weeks. The most marked features are an
increased inquiry for sample bags from
manufacturers and more general feeling
in some quarters that bottom has been
touched, while, Of course, in others the
bear view 10 as strongly developed az
before.
Sales are still far below those Of year
ago, and tho total is now 20,l92, ,250 lbs,
against 49, 2b6, 900 lbs In 1885, showing q
decrease Of II ,082, $50 lbs.
Prices are scarcely changed at all from
last week, and as Whatever changes In the
prices Of last year are In the direction Of
lower values, prices now ruling continue
generally higher than a year ago.
Receipts Of domestic wool continue less
than last year, footing DIP G2,5O5 bales,
against 10, 1856 bales In 1885, which Is q de.
crease OF 1890 bales. The receipts ol
foreign are greater, footing up 57,780
bales, against Q, 450 Ia 1885, OF an increase
OF $3.50 baleA.

luIl in the coke trade during the past two

causes alone, and not 10 any depression in

Prices remain as firm as ever and the
entire output finds ready sale. Two

activity that prevailed at the date oil our

FRou what the public knows Of the
Knights Of Labor there is no principle o.
their order which iustiaes dragging an
engineer and fireman from their locomo'
tive and beating them, as was done In
Chicago on Saturday. This 10 precisely
the kind of thing that Mr.. Powderly has
condemned.
Though strikes are rarely profitable to
anybody, it must be admitted that men
hsyea right to strike. Their right to in.
terpose violence to prevent other men
from working, or employers from con-
dnciing their business with the aid Of men
who are willing to work, is something that
never can be admitted. 10 admit 1t would
ba to grant that one man Is entitled to
more consideration than another, and this
would be- the destruction Of our boasted
equality before the law. 1t is just this
which Knights OF Labor are understood 10
be protesting against when they proclaim
against Jay Gouldism.
There is no law to compel individuals
orcorporatlons to employ men whom the,
do not wish to employ, or to
be just to those whom they do
employ; but there is law to pro-
tect individuals and corporations in tht
employment OF such persons as they wish
to employ, and law to protect the map
who is willing to be employed. The
reason Of the thing aCcords with the Law
and would be as strong II there were nc
law on tho subject.

Mr.. Russell dwelt upon the angular state
Of affairs which had existed in the family,

with Mr.. Dyson. The judge, summing up,
