On Friday, December 26, a young
man named Robert MeCllntock called
at the store of Megary Il Son, and
after selecting goods to the amount OF
$780, rendered ia payment therefor n
check for $50, and received $3.50 In
change. He said he would call for the
goods the next day, but it is almost
needless to say that he did not put in
an appearance. The check was drawn
ON the Central Bank, and purporsed to
be signed by James Green, but when
presented for payment was pronounced
a forgery. A warrant was issued for
McClintock's arrest, and he was cap
tured at his residence on the Brandy
wine last evening. At the hearing be-
fore Judge Ball this morning he was
held in 500 bail until tomorrow. b.

BosruS, Dec. 3l,-The American Wool
Reporter, IN it's annual rcyiew OF The
wool trade OF the United States, will
say tomorrow: The amount of wool
on hand In most of the primary mar
kets Of the United States Is not excess
sive; the supply In Boston Is consider
ably lighter tlnn year ago, the ta.ai
stock of domestic wool being ~ ia
432 pounds, against 20, $50, 4e2 pounds
last year at this time; OF foreign wool
there are 2,e52, $50 pounds in stock to-
Gay, compared with 7,517.9H pounds
last year. The total, foreign and do
nestle, Is %, 798, $50 pounds, against
80, 936, 0S4 pounds a year ago. In other
markets a similar proportional decrease
Is shown. except in New York, where
we note an increase of l, 951, goo pounds,
and Chicago, which shows an increase
of l ,zs,5, 0OO pounds.
Philadelphia stocks are about 800, 900
pounds less than last year. There is
much less wool in st. Louis also than
An 1880.
A reeapitulation of stocks In princi-
pai markets, to which IL added the es-
timated amount in other markets, con
cealed supplies and wool in pullers'
hands, gives total supply OF 93,Sl9,-
sss5 poundS, against 99,25i,6o9 a yeai
ago. The figures for the first ten
months u 1880 for the whole United
States show total importaiions of 81.
ga, 1874 pounds, i'll comparison with
ITO, I'll 455 for the corresponding time
last year and in consequence of the
lessened amount of foreign wool on
the market, and the fact that there Is a
very marked improvement In the
wooden goods business, The supplies
OF wool In the United States cannot bt
considered bultiensome. The only
weak spot In the outlook is the proha
biiity OF Increased importations vi for
eisn woods after the beginning of til,
year.
