NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Business in drygoods
opened encouragingly, although the move
ment by water transportation ended last
Saturday. Transactions on the spot were
numerous and in some minor staples there
was very little doing, but more general
and important demand near at hand seemed
to be indicated in the Improvements noted in
mail orders and the inquiry for goods. The
tone of the market continued steady, except
in O few low grade articles for which de-

! MONDAY, Nov. g. (
COUNTRY PRODUCE Gobbing prices)-
The customary quietness of Monday pre-
! vailed in this department. Dairy products
move slowly at prices quoted. New York
and Ohio cheese are quiet, shade lower
prices than were obtained last week
Strictly fresh eggs are growing scarce and
outside prices are readily obtained Alasl
for the weakness of human nature cold
storage eggs are selling in considerable
quantity as fresh laid stock. Receipts of
potatoes have declined of late, and markets
are not so dull as they were week ago,
when there was glut. Onions are also in
better demand with no essential change in
prices The quality of grapes and bananas
on the market is low. Very little of these
fruits offered of late are tempting. Apples
of the best quality are in good supply, but
movement is slow. Supply of Florida
oranges are coming to our markets much
earlier than usual this season, and quality
of offerings is extra good. Supply SO far ex-
ceeds demand.

m,KINIEy OK OHIO WOOL

The decline in Ohio wool, which Major
Mckinley told his constituents was to lie so
much advanced by the tariff. has been a thorn
in the side of that doughty statesman ever
since he began trying to induce the voters Of
the Buckeye State to elect him their next
Governor With the impudence Of the aver
age Republican politician, however, he at
tempts to explain away his embarrassment in
this wise:
They tell me that wool has gone down.
So it has. Ny impression IS that last years
clip sold for thirty-twO cents. and | under
stand now that the best clips bring but
twenty eight cents. If the tariff j. tax.
why is this? What fixes the price of wool?
The manufacturer in the United States pays
16 cents per pound for wool. with duty OF /
cents making II cents. and the English
farmer sells his wool for II cents and adding
the duty Of If cents, il costs the manufacturer
q cents. Where does he derive his benefit,
Suppose your wool was free and the II cents
per pound were stricken down. II would bs
the London price. with the transportation
added. If You have any doubt about il,
20 over into Canada. and you can sell your
wool for seventeen or eighteen cents per
pound"
The Wheeling CIV. va Register. which
mas IDdue rs ChItlul oluuS Va RAiO
politics as it has Of those of its own State,
being divided from Ohio only by the Ohio
river, shows up the sophistry Of Major
McKinley's reasoning in plain words. It says
that the huge duty imposed on wool by the
Mckinley law was intended to compel Ameri-
can manufacturers to use the domestic article,
but it has had the contrary effect. In April,
1890, the entire importations Of raw wool were
1863 4O1 pounds; in April, 1891, thew
were 1888, 776 pounds. The difference is
especially marked in clothing woods, the i'm
portation in April 1890. having been 737, Gl2
pounds, paying duty Of $4,000, and those
of April, 1891. 5.26S. 438 pounds. paying duty
of :575.OOO The explanation is that whereas
the manufacturers formerly mixed fine do
nestle heeces with inferior imported
woods. they now mix Australian and AT
gentine woods with coarse Rocky Noun
tain feeces, passing over the fine Ohio
heeces altogether, unless they can get them at
as low rate rs the imported article. The
grand result is that the Ohio men who brought
about the advance in rates get lower price
fol their wool, while the consumers have to
put up with inferior wooden goods.
That is the whole case in a nutshell, and it
will prove q very hard nut forthe great cham
pion of robber protection TO crack.
