FORT WORTH, TEX. April Il. 1888.
There has been CREST activity in the

being overruu with busy purchasers, 5
great many OF whom had come in from
the country.
Wholeshls trade has been brisk.

WOOL.
There is no change Of moment in the
wool market, comparative inactivity pre-
vailing at all points, with the advantage
in favor OF buyers. Some lsrge lines of
old wool have been closed cut at
sscrhce. With the exception
of desirable medium selections the
market is weak. Many Of the mills
are well supplied with material, and those
that are buying are taking only small
amounts. There is nothing in the cut
look for goods to stimulate activity. The
stocks Of really choice woods are CON-
psrstively small, and there is little de-
mand for desirable sorts.
Small lots OF WOOL are taken freely at
Boston by those manufacturers who are
in med of supplies for immediate con-
sumption. Beyond this there is no &C
tivity. Prices are nominally unchanged,
but rule in buyers favor. There is fsir
demand for choice territory wool, and the

Associated Press Dispatches to theH..A1p1

'AssOc1ated Press Dispatches to theHEHALDT
San Francisco, February 3.-War
has opened between the two sugar
refining companies. Before the cut
was made the American Company
asked cents for Golden G, and ~
cents for extra @. The California
Company's schedule called for 61z
and '6la respectively. Last night the
American Company made q reduction
of one cent per pound on each vxriety,
placing the rate Il Of a cent lower
than that of their rivals. To-day the
California Company took up the chal-
lenge and quoted golden G at t5s4, and
extra G at 6. 1t is believed that these
reductions will be promptly met and
that prices will drop even lower than
last season. The refineries are striv-
ing for the trade of the fruit Gamers
as well as the general public, and
have succeeded already in making
sugar cheaper here than in New
York. 1t is thought that the price Of
best white varieties will decline to 6or
| 5H cents per pound. A Telegram
from New York announces that the
Secretary Of the sugar trust is on his
way to this city to induce, one q beth
refineries to enter the combination,
but it is stated on authority that
neither companies will join the trust.

COLUMBUS, o., February 3.-AlgeT-
non Granville, of Chicago, one Of TIE
defendants and witnesses for the State
in the tally-sheet forgeries cases, va
placed on the stand this morning. In
1885, he testified, he did Shorthand
work for Montgomery. He made .
tabulation of figures for Montgomery
on the Wednesday or Thursday fol-
lowing the election, and made q mig
take OF 100 votes in one of the town
ships, which Montgomery discovered
and thus ascertained his defeat.
Defendant said that they must do
something in a ehort time. Allen O.
Myers ran into the office and said that
John r. Mclean was bound to be
United States Senator, no difference
what it cost that the Legislature was
Republican by one majority, and If
they could secure the election Of Ed.
Young. from Franklin county, the
Legislature would be one Democratic,
and that would elect Mclean; that
the only way to do this was to fix the
returns; that they had done the work
before the election in Hamilton coun-
ty, but it could be done afterward
here; that he wanted to give the Re-
publicans dose of their own medi-
cine for the performance of 1876 in the
South, and asked witness to go ahead
with the work as he was an expert
penman.

cursion rate from New York for the
round-trip is $13S.50.

II 80 were burnt to ashes. The fire
started from a hot-box where the
wind from the belts caught and famed
the blaze the whole length of the
mill, so that the workmen had barely
time to get out before the mill was en-
veloped in flames. From the start
there was no chance of stopping the
fire. All the out-buildings were saved +,
owing to the wind being favorable.
About 230 men are thrown out OF en-
ployment. The estimated loss is
$250,O00, and there is no insurance.
The company will rebuild two mills,
one in place of the old one, and an
other somewhere else.
