Wool Market.
Remarks.

THE outlook for the potato crop through
out New England and New York was never
more favorable than to-day.
THE wool market is quiet There has
been fair movement in domestic wool, and
manufacturers are showing all the more
interest, though not placing large orders.
The total sales of domestic wool for the
week foot up 2,719,500 pounds.
AT the exchange rooms of the Vermont
Board of Trade at Burlington, last Monday
business was dull Creamery butter was
slow at 17tc, although some small lots of
choice sold at 1Sc. One lot of cheese sold at
SC and another at SIC per pound.
THE butter market is quiet, and altogether
there is much weaker tone noticeable,
caused by the present accumulation of
stocks and the prospect of a glutted market
from heavy receipts from the producing
districts for the next few weeks to come.
Prices are lower and not firm. The finest
western creamery will not bring on the
market to-day over seventeen cents. The
butter product this year seems to be larger
than ever before. For the last two weeks
receipts in Boston aud New York have been
larger than ever before in the history of the
market, The excess over last year since
May / is $4,000 tubs in New York and
II, 600 tubs in Boston.

A number of years ego prominent eiti-
zen Of wheeling out Of his great album
dance, presented 10 the corporation a very
handsome and expensive iountai0. We
do not now recall the exact cost, but 1t
was not far from $4,000. This beautiful
and desirable token OF a citizens regard
for the town Of his birth was received by
the city authorities then in ofice with
much ado and pomp, together with many
thanks to the generous donor, to say moth
ing Of the profuse promises that the ornate
setting 20 the fne public building would
be properly cared for in order that 1t
might endure its full measure Of time.
Has this attractive work Of art been thus
cared for? Has il not been grossly nsg-
iec.ed each succeeding year, as if 1t were a
nuisance aud an object, the absence
of which was preferable to its presence
That is what many people think. IL is
what many passing citizen says as he OBJ
serves from time 20 time the rusty figures

sional visitor thinks as he or she strols
by and observes the unmistakable sigus OF
eorrosion and decay Of the metallic paris
OF the fountain, which ia caused by the
lack Of a coat Of paint at proper intervals.
Seeing such neglect on the part of the
city officials Of so valuable and attractive
a piece Of public ornamentation, is there
much inducement for other citizens so in
ciined to give from their weslth to beau
tify the city? Not much, surely. Then
take heed. gentlemen OF the Common
Council, and give the matter prompt at
tention. II necessary, pass an ordinance
making it the duty Of the Water Board to
take charge Of the Paxton fountain and

A protection organ in noticing the in

Try observes:
perhaps it is all of no great conse-
quelca politically, but it is certainly in
teIesting to see men living in land OF
glorious free trade so very sexious &c in
vest money in manufacturing in this be-
nighted country Of protection"
The interesting fact is that tn system
of glorious free trade" has enabled Eng
lishmen to accumulate such a surplus ot
money. The exports of Great Britain last
year were valued at 81, 403 s15 sos,
chiefly manufactures. The exports Of the
United States were $4,000, OOO-lttle

The erection Of an industrial school on

feasible The citizsns, we are assured,
would cooperate with the community and
subscribe half Of the sum necessary TO

In matter Of this kind We DO not think
immediate money considerations should
weigh heavily. Such a school would pay
for itself hundreds oftimes over before the
end Of the next generation in prosperous,
numerous and well conducted industries
and in TIE formation Of good aid useful
citizens. But, from the point Of view OF
the Immediate expense, we regard it a. en-
tirely within the means of the city. Tbs
Board Of Education has been compelled to
increase the school levy for the ensuing
year nine cents for the purpose Of enlarg.
ing The schools. A large building could
be erected that would accommodate az in

city, thus relieving thu various schools OF
much crowding and 60 away with several
Important items Of expense. The RKGIs-
