The Nail's Head Struck.

NanufaelvrrS' Record.
A London dispatch announcing the
failure Of firm Of builderB in Bradford,
England, says It is attributed chiefly to
the United States tariff Law killing tho
cash trade in packing cases for woolens
sent to America. As the reported liza
billties are 500, 900, an approximate idea
may be obtained Of the immense aHan;;
tity Of lumber consumed BY the woEsted
industry alone in the form Of packing
cases. The transfer Of this industry 70
the United States brings with 1t this
incidental business, which consumes 9
large quantity Of lumber and nails and
gives employment to host OF men.

that the time required for the whole process
