In the first eight months of 1888, thirty
five wooden mills failed, with liabilities of
$2,500,000. In the first eight months of
the present year forty-six wooden mills
failed, with liabilities of $7,OOO,O0 There
were two causes for these failures One
was bad management; the other that, in
stead of depending on themselves, the
manufacturers depended on protection.
Protection helped them to overproduce,
but ruined them when they tried to un-
dersell in outside markets.

treasury is inoleum. The New Yorl!
appraiser some time ago raised the
standard of imported linoleums one
grade all around. The importers ap-
healed and the matter was referred to
the managing partner Of very large do

once that the imported goods were I'M

Farmers living in the Vicinity Of 2 eern
cob pipe factory are exceptionally fortunate.
Although many millions Of cobs are burned
or allowed to rot every year, the price for
pipe making purposes keeps up. A farmer
living near Washington, No, recently sold
100 bushels of corn for $50 and got Ssf for
the cobs. This is at the rate of 81 cents
bushel, and if only sufficient Missouri meer-
chaums were smoked to make the demand
larger farmers would soon be rich. Corn cob
pipes are manufactured by very simple
process, and are in fair demand all over the
country. Some were recently shipped to
Europe, and more were ordered soon after
their arrival.-Jnteyview in st. Louis Globe

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Traders Waiting for Something to Turn Up

Few Changes in Prices.


o-Wheat-Trading was light to-day
and the market was quiet without any special
change in prices. There was nothing new in
outside news to stimulate trade, and operators
we're inclined to hold off and await new deyel-
opments. The market opened at yesterdays
closing figures. advanced Z@ssc, eased off and
closed at about 1sc higher for May and Ac for
July than yesterday.
The crop reports this morning we're rather
bullish, and caused the early advance, but the
advance was only temporary. The predictions
were for cold weather. Stormy weather was
reported in the Northwest and lake regions and
rain In the Ohio valley and Southwest
Corn-There was nothing new of consequence
developed in this market which ruled compar-
atively dull all day, fluctuations barely cover
the whole rather firmer, there being apparently
more disposition to buy on the part of many
operators. The situation was little more un-
certain. The market opened at yesterdays
closing prices. was dull and neglected, chang
ing scarcely T and final quotations were a
shade higher than yesterday.
Oats were steady, with a moderate volume of
trade. There were good many orders to sell
May at 2212c, but the orders to buy were so lin
tied that commission houses we're unable to ex-
ecute them. There was moderate business in
June and July, aud also more doing in August,
but price changes were limited to Nc.
Pork-The market attracted very little atten-
ton. Fluctuations in prices were confined
within range of DC, and closing figures exhib-
tied slight advance.
Lard-Nothing of consequence doing. Buy
ers and sellers were Indifferent about trading,
and the changes in prices were slight, rather
favoring the latter.
Ribs-A very steady feeling prevailed, but
there were no marked changes to note. The
bulk of business was in May and July deliver

State Legislation and the Railroads-Money

Special to John Nj. Oakley & Col
NEW YORK. March 29-The extraordinary
lack of interest in speculation would seem to
he responsible for the failure of Wall street to
take cognizance of the recent important decis-
ion of the Supreme Court Of the United States.
That decision checks the exercise of arbitrary
power by the State authorities In fixing maxi
mum rates for the railways, and it marks the
climax of the legislative movement against
property rights. When the railroads first en-
tered Western territory they were inclined to
be Independent and dictatorial. and their abuse
Of their natural rights gave birth, about 1870,
to the first of series of enactments known as
"the Granger Laws"
The first one was statute in Ohio regulating
freight charges, followed in 1873 and 1874 by ag-
gressive Constitutional and Legislative action
in Illinois. In 1877 the United States Supreme
Court gave its decision in favor Of the States to
fix rates. But Legislatures have grown to be
too autocratic (as were the roads themselves
originally. and the last decision of the highest
Federal court has placed limits on the powers
of legislation. Reasonable rates may be re-
quired by the State, but the State alone cannot
determine by its own arbitrary will what shall
be considered reasonable rates" The roads
can protest and submit the matter to the courts
to determine under regularly ordained laws
questions of equity and fairness. 1t is mani
testify important to investors in railway prop
erty to know that the highest court in the lard
will restrain the encroachments of legislative
power, which, if logically carried out, would
often amount to confiscation.
The bank statement to-day was late In COM
ing out, but it was more favorable than eI-
pected, showing gain in reserves of over $780,
000 The market closed on an average little
better than yesterday, but the dullness was of
the most deadly and pronounced character.
The oldest inhabitants say they never saw any
thing like it. Such stagnatIon is often followed
by break. but conditions now are peculiar,
and we look for higher prices on the first ac-
tivity.
