London Wool Sales.

LONDON, June 9.-Wool sales opened here
to-day. Offerings comprised 1900 bales,
mostly of New South Wales, New Zealand
and Victoria. The attendance was very
large and competition was fairly strong,
at the last series. New Zealand cross
breds were well competed for There was
good competition for Port Phillip cross
breds. while New South Wales varieties
passed off well. To-day's sales afford little
idea of the tendency OF the market, and
consequently comparison of prices with
those oil last sales would be of little value.
Buyers are awaiting Developments, but
so far rs can be judged, values of good
merlnos are unchanged, while The average
kinds sold from par 10 5 per cent cheaper.

became impressed with her, and on learn
ing she was going TO stop at the next sta
ton, had to make quick work of things
and proposed matrimony to her, provided
she would go on with him. He convinced
her that he was in earnest and they came on
to this point, this being the first point where
they could obtain q license, an official to
perform the ceremony and a marriage cer-
tificate.
When the south-bound evening train
stopped they aiighted and took the bus for
the courthouse, obtained the necessary pa
pers, md the nuptial knot was tied by
Judge T. NJ Davidson according TO the

Pork Packing and Provisions.

The Cincinnati Price Current says: The
weeks packing in the West does not show
an enlargement, the total being 2f5,000
hogs, compared with 230, 600 the preceding
week, and 305, coo last year. The total since
March is 2, $50, 600, against 3, 260, 900 year
ago-indicating decrease Of 10000 for the
week and 10000 for the season, in compar-
ison with corresponding periods last. year.
For purposes of comparison with previous
years the average weekly packing in recent
previous years for the months indicated is
shown in the following tabulation:

total from March 1 to November l, compare
as follows.


The average weight of hogs this season is
materially lighter than in any previous
year. The current marketings are variable
IN quality, a large proportion showing the
lack of the usual influence of grain in their
feeding, so that there is more shrinkage
relatively than when finished on full rations
of corn.
The provision trade has not yet recovered
the activity which it had some weeks ago,
and which the jobbing interest desires and
expects in the near future But values are
being well maintained. and notwithstanding
the slack trade, reduction in stocks of
product is being shown. The weeks ex-
ports of product were moderate, showing
some decrease in meats compared with cor
responding period last year.

VIOLATION OF LAW ADMITTED.
a Knotty Problem Of State and Federal Juris
diction Arises in Maryland.

-
diction Arises In Maryland.
Another contention has arisen between Mary
lands oyster navy and the federal authorities.
Several years ago the state took the ground
that its steamers need not conform to the
federal regulations. The case was tried in the
courts and the state lost. A month ago the
Eastern Shore railroads transfer across the
Chesapeake bay broke down and the oyster
police steamers were ordered by Governor
Jackson and Commander of the State Navy
Seth, both leading stockholders in the Eastern
Shore railroad. to do duty for the railroad
while the transfer boat was being repaired.
Each of the steamers is allowed by law to
carry twenty-five passengers and no more. This
limit YES exceeded, and the matter reached the
steamboat inspectors, who proceeded to investi-
gate. The reports of the oyster police captains
practically admit the violation of the law. The
inspectors had no alternative but to turn the
cases over to the collector. The penalty for the
violation Of the law is 800 for each and every
onense. The law states further that q lien may
be levied on the vessel for the recovery of the
Ane. Ths fines will aggregate several hundred
dollars Yesterday the captains were notified
that the collector would give them hearing
next Wednesday.
