Homo Market.

Free wool would give the American
manufacturer the home market and would
open the markets of the world to him. 1t
would result necessarily in an immense In
crease of American woolen manufactures
and in a greatly increased demand for
American woods, necessarily increasing in
price.
This is true of all American woods. But
free wool will especially benefit New Mex
leo and the southwest.
The present wool tariff is of, by, and for
Ohio. We do not believe that it does Ohio
any good, but it discriminates against
every country that is naturally fitted for
wool growing.

SToCKs-The stock market was very
dull during the forenoon to-day, but be-
came active later in the day, while firm
to strong tone marked transactions through
ont the entire session. The opening sales
were msds at only slight changes from Sat-
urday's closing figures, but the list devel-
oped strength Immediately, and Western
Union, st. Paul and Cotton Oil took the
lead in the advance. The improvement,
however, was confined to fractional
amounts only, while the market then
reacted slightly and became dull.
There was more animation noticeable
soon after IL o'clock and Lackawanns then
assumed the lead in the advance and, fol-
lowed by Delaware and Hudson and Mis-
souri, Pacific, advanced IL per cent. The
activity died away towards delivery hour
and the advance had less force, but the
close was quite strong at about the best
figures reached. Sales, 1913, 1924 shares.

WEST YIRGINIA,s BOOM
Seems tn be LanguIshing-The State Slowly
EiIlng Up.

BaiimOrg sun.
The immigration boom which West Vir-
ginia launched with such flourish six or
seven months ago seems to he languisbiDg.
Some colunists have come over from Ohio,
and some hardy wOrkmen who have come
here to work on railroads have seen it was
to their advantage to loeats along the lines
they helped to build. The border COUNTIES
are all furnishing, and the interior coun'
ties ar5 steadily filling up. Every cabin
seems to be full OF children, and the
women one is constrained to help on the
cars never travel without retinue OF four
or six children, none of half-tare age.
Large families are the rule, and If the rule
keeps no, the women Of West Virginia
will quickly render immigration aid socie-
ties unnecessary. Bishop Kahn, who Is one
of the most energetic colonizers In the State,
and has lent the weight OF his lDtu-
ence and zeal TO the settlement Of desirable
and thrifty people, tells me that there are
eight Catholic colonies scattered IN differ
ent counties. The oldest of these settle
ments was made 80 years ago-of course
before the Bishop had anything to do with
the matter. This old colony was planted
10 Preston county, and the settlers came
from Cumberland, where the men were
originally employed in railroad construc-
ton. Six priests are wholly supported by
these eight Catholic colonies, which aggre-
cate several hundred thrifty and prosper
ors families One of the colonies, st.
Clara. was founded by no less parsonage
than Gen. Dis De Bar, who is languishing
in prison for completely with the notorious
Solomon woman in defrauding Lawyer
Marsh by the spirit-picture dodge. The
wife of Dis De Bar, who died long before
be fell into evil company, was named
Clara, and the West Virginia settlement
was so called for her. Dis De Bar gave the
church so acres of land, and a honse oil
worship was built on 1T.

THE WOOL MARKET.
Prices Show n Decided Improvement-In
Good Demand.
RrnRslrftks

Good Demand.
| BradstreetS.
| All the important wool markets show a
decided improvement upon last week.
Prices III the country are at least as firm
as at any time this summer, and in some
quarters an increase of strength is appar,
cot. As rule values in the interior con-
tinue rather above the seaboam level; but
some of the eastern manufacturers have
bought more freely in the country than
usual, and this has helped to strengthen
quotations. The Ohio clip is held for the
most part at 26G. to 3Oc. per pound. with
fair amount of business on the part OF
the local dealers. Eastern houses are
doing little. This situation in Michigan is
unchanged. As compared with last year
there is more inquiry for fine and less for
medium wool. From present appearances
the consumption of the latter description
during the next few months will be smaller
than for some time past.
A good attendance OF buyers at the Ant
werp sales during the past week has been
reported by cable, with an excellent de-
mand for the better selections offered.
| The poorer lots were neglected. At Lon
don considerable amount OF low foreign
wool has been offered without exciting
much interest Prices were generally I'D.
lower than at the last previous sales OF this
description of stock.
More inquiry for supplies for the mills
observed III the Boston market. While
the manufacturers are not receiving orders
for lightweight goods to any great extent,
they show less hesitation to stock up than
heretofore. Any desirable lots of wool
offered at shaded prices are taken quite
| readily. There have been some good sales
of fine Ohio fleecss at 29a3OG per pound
Michigan wool goes at 25!a27c. There is
little doing in comhing and delaine selec'
tions A fair inquiry for territory and
Texas stock is noticed, and something
more is doing in Australian wool. Carpet
stock is quiet. Current quotations are as
follows in comparison with last year and
the year before:

The sales of tho week at Boston are re-
ported at 4, 135, 200 pounds, as against 3,
176. 2G0 pounds last week and !, Acc, OOC
pounds in the corresponding week last
year.
At Philadelphia wool is less active after
the larger sales OF last week, partly be-
cause dealers are more reluctant to accept
the low views of buyers. The latter will
pay no advance, and it is difficult to brinG
wool forward from any point to sell at rul
ing prices here without actual loss tC
dealers. The sales aggregate 100000
pounds, against 9iS, 900 pounds last week
and CAS-, 900 pounds for the corresponding
week last year.

A Strike Imminent.

CHICAGO, February 24.-It is possible
that tomorrow the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy system will be tied from
one end to the other. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen have decided upon strike
as the last resort to enforce their
demand upon the company, and con
fidentially expect to tie up the road
completely, and win the strike. For
weeks past, a committee of the Burling-
ton engineers and firemen has been
negotiating, together with Chief Arthur
and Grand Master Seargent, with the
Burlington officials, to bring about ar
rangements similar to other roads. Mr.
Seargent said, tonight. to an Associated
Press representative: "We have CON
septed to strike and we have in
structed our men accordingly, and
at a given hour every engineer and
fireman employed on the entire
system of the G. B. & Q. will quit work
and go to their homes. This company
will be at liberty to get other men to
fill their places. The Brotherhood does.
not do anything hastily; they look over
the ground carefully, act cautiously,
and intend to be victorious.

Parnell's Bill.

LONDON, February A.-The text Of
Parnell's bill is published. 1t EN-
powers the court to order a reduction
of arrears and the costs of tenants to
whom the land act of 1887 applies,
where it is proved such tenants
are unable to pay, owing to cir
cumstances beyond their control. II
extends to nine months the period
within which caretakers, under the act
OF 1887, may apply for restriction OF
their tenancy. 1t empowers the court
to reduce the amount of judgment and
costs against such caretakers, when it is
proved they were unable to pay,
and directs that upon payment OF
reduced judgment and upon applica-
ton to be restored to their holdings,
they may be dealt with the same as il
they had paid their Judgment in full.
The bill will be supported by Glad
stonians.
