Wool Market.

Although wool is quiet compared with
the condition two months ago, it is in 4
firm position. The influence of the
limited supply is well shown in that
prices remain steady in the presence of
a weak demand and the Stringency Of
the money market. The London sales
have not affected the American market
TO any particular extent, because the
woods offered have not been suit
able and dealers have bought very little
The Melbourne market is reported firm
al present quotations with tendency
to advance. An Improvement is noted
in the sales of Australian woods in Amer
lean markets. Medium territories are
moving slowly, aS are also Texas and
California woods. Pulled woods. par
ticUlarly \ and Il SuperS, are in fair de-
mand. Carpet woods are still dull, and
the sales for the week show a slight de-
crease. II is the general opinion that
trade will show marked Improvement
after the holidays. The mills are re-
ported to be running on full time, and
stock is rapidly being reduced.

to farmers on their lands and products
than it has to loan it to any other
class on any other class Of products,
grown or manufactured. These taxes
are meant to defray the necessary ex-
penses Of the government and for no
other purpose. The Alliance rOundly
condemns the giving of bounties,
through the tariff, to manufacturers. It
is anomalous then for II to ask a similar
privilege for the class il represents.
Sub-treaSurieS established on the basis
Of the demand of the Farmers Alliance
would harm the farmers more than any
other class. President HALL, of the
Missouri Alliance, sums up the indict-
ments against the scheme as follows:
Il am" he said, ''uncompromisingly OPP
posed 10 this scheme, and for the following
reasons: First, il is in violation Of the
/ Constitution Of the United States; second,
il is subyersive Of, and directly opposed TO
the constitution and the principles and de-
mands of our own order; third, il is unjust
and inequitable; fourth, IL is very extrava-
CANT; fifth, il would bring financial ruin 70
the farmers Of the entire country and 10 all
other classes Of business: sixth, IL will
have, and is now having, the effect Of draw
/ ing the minds Of farmers and other labor
ers Of our country from the greatest curse
of the age, class legislation, and If adopted
will commit US 10 the principles which will
fasteu these curses upon US for all time.
Mr.. CAE>KADoN, Of West Virginia,
also warned the farmers against the
proposed scheme. His argument We

These warnings from the cooler heads,
however, went unheeded. That is
where the Alliance has made serious
mistake at the very beginning Of its ex-
istence. Its other demands are Just,
and il will have the Democratic party
in Congress at its back in enforcing
them, and these will 90 infinitely farther
towards correcting the evils suffered by
the farmers than such legislation as is
proposed in this sub-treaSury scheme,
which is un-Democratic and opposed TO
the very principles upon which the
Farmers Alliance is founded.

Improvement Company, under the di-
rect management and control of Col.
J. A. Fickinger, Of Weston, Chief En-
gineer. II. L. Camden. of ParkerS-
burg, is President and Treasurer of the
Improvement Company.
The work OF grading and bGilding the
road has been retarded more or less on
account Of wet weather, but is being
pushed ahead at a lively rate.

pleted, will comprise about 10 miles

OFFICERS OF THE ROAD.
Hon. J. y. Camden is president, and
was the chief factor in projecting the
road. which is Il part of the Camden
system" DR.. A. ii. KunSt is vice
president and general manager, and has
immediate control and charge of the
operating departments.
Considering the great natural wealth
stored away in the country penetrated
by this road. and that there is no rail-
road competition there, any one would
naturally conclude that the w. Va. n
z. r. Il. Co. has struck a bonanza"
This system of roads extends from
Fairmont via ClarkSburg and Weston
to Newton, on one branch and to Burns
VILE on the other. Ere long it will
have better terminal facilities when its
potency as a great thO:Oughfarc will be
more plainly perceptible.
