RUSHING IN WOOL TOPS.

In report to the Department of State
on wool, waste and broken tops, Consul
Grinnell, of Bradford, says that since it
| became known there in November that
broken tops, laps, rovings and slubbings
of wool, with ) to Is per cent. of genu-
inc waste scattered in, would be admit
ted by the United States Customs Ser
vice at 10 cents per pound duty, the
quantity exported from that consular
district has risen from 69,64S pounds in
November, 1897 to 334, ,1SS pounds in No
vember, 1888. Careful inquiry" he
says, "has developed the fact that the
total shipments of this class of wool
from Great Britain to the United States
during three months have exceeded by
1904, ,620 pounds the production of gen
uine Botany Tor Australian) waste for
the whole year The practice of break
ing wool tops for the United States
market has become notorious. Origi-
nally the tops were broken up by hand,
but the enormous development of the
shipments to the United States has
caused, it is stated, machinery to be
used for the purpose. The wOOl-cOmb-
ers, as a rule, will not lend themselves
to the practice, but deliver the tops to
the waste dealer in their regular form,
and the latter either break them or
cause them to be broken up. The temp
tation to ''prepare" genuine tops here
for entry into the United States as waste
at 10 cents per pound is very great, as
may be judged when l mention that one
of the larger firms in Bradford, of un-
questionable reputation, informed me
that they had been offered cents per
pound profit over their regular price for
all the Botany waste they could supply"
HE entered saloon on Monroe ave-
nue. with his hat on his ear and his coat
on his arm, and flinging the garment on
a table, he shouted:
''IS the man here who said he could
pulverize me in two minutes?"
HE is," replied an individual who
was wiping off his chin.

A RECENT report of the Agricultural
Department is calculated to direct the
attention of persons thinking of engag-
ing in farming in the West to the ad-
vantages of Oregon. 1t shows that last
year the wheat production of that State
amounted to 14,548,000 bushels; that
100000 are engaged in farming there;
that not near all the available wheat
lands are occupied yet, and that the av-
erage yield of wheat to the acre, no
matter what the season, is 25 bushels.
Cultivated to the utmost capacity it is of
ficially stated that Oregon could support

Mason & Hamlin offer, as demonstration of the

piano building, but still claim superiority. This
they attribute sOly to the remarkable improvement
introduced by them i'll the year of 1882, and now
known as the Mason d Hdmln Piano StTinger, -
