The-leading wool markets are quiet.
Manufacturers seem to be waiting to
see whether the higher prices being
paid inSthe West will hold, and arc en-
deavoring to prevent an advance by
keeping out Of tho market Meanwhile
the new wool is coming forward and
stocks are steadily increasing The
woods have, as a rule, been put up in a
cleaner and better manner than for
several years, and on this score should
demand an advance. Prominent deal
ers have freely expressed their opinion
that Ohio and Michigan woods will show
an Advance Of from l@2 cents per
pound within the next thirty to sixty
days. The London sales have shown q
strong competition among buyers and q
hardening tendency to values. But a
comparative small amount OF wool suit
able for this country has been offered.
There is good demand for Australian
woods here, and while prices are no
higher they are very firm. Ohio and
Michigan woods are in light demand.
New woods from these states are coming
forward slowly and in small lots. A fair
demand is reported for Texas woods.
Territories are selling in small way.
Pulled woods are quiet. There has been
little doing in carpet woods.

tor Of the NoneonJormia, published in

In the current issue OF the Noncon-

Furniture and tho TarlE.

From a report OF the committee on
legislation Of the National Furniture
Manufacturers association, meeting
OF which was held at Cincinnati two
weeks ago, We extract the following in
teresting statements in reference to the
effect Of the tariff on. plate glass and
furniture coverings:
We are now enabled to produce plate
glass in this country so cheaply that a
much better article can be used at
about the same cost, and, as far as your
committee can learn, not many manu-
facturers would use German plates to-
day If they were admitted free. The
increase OF about twenty-five per cent
in the price Of furniture coverings, such,
as pushes, tapestries or brocatelles, by
the Mckinley bill was thought to be M
injury to the trade at the time OF its
passage, but the fact is these articles
have been steadily decreasing in price,
and to-day are twenty-five per cent
cheaper than they were before the
change in the tariff. The increase in
the manufacture and competition OF
trade has brought about this result.
Twenty-Five years ago plush parlor
suit was luxury to-day they can be
bought as cheaply as hair cloth suits.
Not only are glass and furniture COW
erings cheaper, but they are also much
better in quality than they were before
the Mckinley bill passed, as we see
from the report OF this committee ap.
pointed by an association composed OF
business men. And yet the tariff re
form" demagogue positively asserts
that these things, in COMMON with all
others, are dearet on account OF the
t'higher taxes" imposed by the Nc
Kinley law. The business men. the
working people and the farmers Of our
country will all combine next Novem-
Der for the purpose Of teaching the
tariff reform" demago4ue an instruc-
tive lesson on the uselessness Of dis
honesty in political campaign.

municate with endoFsers, and even
where the latter are readily accessible,
the acceptance and exchange Of notes,
etc, forms such q large part Of modern
banking, that Il would be an almost
hopeless task to communicate with all
endorsers as'to the genulneness Of their
signatures. Where the handwriting OF
any endorser is known. and the written
signature is apparently his, the note
generally passes. But in the case ale
luded 10, It seems to us that more care
should have been exercised by the
banks. It was tho endorsement alone
which secured tho money. Without 1t
the borrower would not have been able
to secure anything. as his own note was
not generally considered good. Where
80 much depends upon tho endorse
ment, the banks might, with profit to
themselves, make more effort than they
do, 10 ascertain the genuineness Of the
signature.
I've have no doubt that number Of
the banks in Boston, New York and
elsewhere are to-day carrying notes
with forged endorsements. It will
probablynever be known that they are,
because the borrowers Of tho funds will
be able at some time, by some means or
other, to take up the notes. In the
case referred to, the borrower expected
to be able TO take up the notes when
they matured. His business, however,
failed to be as remunerative, as he, ex.
pected ;he could mot meet them, and
he,fesorted to the method Of forging en-
dorsements to other notes and getting
the money. from other banks. Except
for the Fortunate discovery that one Of
the endorsements was a forgery this
proceeding might have been continued
Tor a longer time than twas.

SIR:-The nursery agent is abroad in
the land. He called upon US the other
day and poured into our ears his COM
plant about the poor fruit OF this
country, and gave rs q glowing descrip-
ton, well illustrated with fine cuts Of
choice fruits found to possess superior
qualItiesi in northern New York, Canada
and Massachusetts. He led us to infer
that nothing but perfect fruit is grown
in those sections. In fact, his book Of
illustrations prove beyond the shadow
OF a doubt that the choicest fruits do
grow there, aud hence If We gave him
an order We were sure to make strike.
After he had emphasized the mean
ness of our fruit sufficiently to suit his
PURPOSES, We modestly called his atten-
ton to the fact that almost all OF this
mean fruit, which he was denouncing so,
vigorously, had been bought at exces-
sively high prices from agents like him
self, with line pictures representing
these distant nurseries and their fruit
trees, and that We ourselves had spent
over $500 upon such so-called inn
proved fruit, and had failed in most
cases TO secure as choice fruit as We had
obtained from local nurseries. The
truth OF the matter Is that nurserymen
in, or near West Virginia, supply bet
ter quality Of fruit than is generally
supplied BY these travelling agents rep
resenting distant nurseries. Our local
nurserymen will sell, at muchless price,
the fruit trees demonstrated 10 be well
adapted to our climate and soil, and fur
nish tho trees true to name, which can
not always be said OF distant nursery
men. When We come to think OF it,
there is no reason why our local nur-
serymen can not supply exactly the
same that distant nurserymen do, ex-
cepting possibly some very new varie-
ties, which have Just been brought out,
and are vet comparatively untried.
The talk about winter hardened"
frost proof" "insect proof" "blight
proof" and "free from disease" is so
much froth given in approved doses to
the unwary purchaser, and is as appli-
cable to home grown nursery stock as 1t
is TO that produced in tho distance. If
the farmers really wish the latest varic-
ties for trial, the best way to secure the
trees is to order direct from the nursery.
men, as the agents require purchasers
to sign q contract 10 tako other trees
should the onos ordered not be in stock.
My advice TO farmers Is to buy their
fruit trees IRON home nurserymen They
are more reliable.

!. Uhiied Sattt IRrCftor,
A recent case Of forgery in Provt.
dence, K. l., illustrates how easily, with
the prevailing methods OF banking,
worthless paper may be toisted upon
the banks, and the necessity on their
part Of exercising more care in the mat
ter of accepting notes. In the case al
luded to, the borrower OF the money
forged an endorsement to q note OF
small amount, renewed II, and borrowed
money from several institutions, offer
ing notes with the same endorsement
until the total amount thus secured ag.
eregated in the neiRhborhood OF $1,000
or $4,000. Tho gentleman whose name
was endorsed on the notes, happened
to be well known, and the forger had 60
correctly initiated his handwriting that
the latter. when confronted with it
could hardly detect any difference.
There was one fact in connection with
the case, however, which should have
been duly considered by the banks
where these notes were accepted, name
+ ly. that this gentleman had never en-
dorsed notes, and had always made 1t q
feature OF his business policy never to
endorse. Il seems to US, Therefore, that
the management OF the banks whore
these notes were offered, with this man
as an endorser for the tirst time, should
have made it point TO ascertain from
the lattor, who was easily accessible, II
the endorsement was genuine. One oil
the banks had the forethought to do 90,
aud ono Of the forgeries was thus DIS
closed, which led to the discovery Of the
others.
We are aware that in the present
famifcations OF business. circumstances

LITTLE MARTENA HARRISON

She Has Genuine Scarlet Fever, but is Bet
ter Today.
Little Martena Harrison, the Presidents FIVE
year-old granddaughter, is reported to be a
trife easier today. Her ailment. which was at
first supposed to be scarlatina, has developed
into genuine case of scarlet fever. 1t is Of
mild type, however, and will undoubt-
edly yield to treatment. The two Mckee
children who were playing with the little pa
tient when she was taken i'll have been watched
carefully. nursed ever since and are reported
today as being beyond danger of contagion.
Dr. Gardner, the family physician. was
met by STAR reporter on the steps
of the White House this afternoon.
In response to an inquiry he said
his patient was getting along nicely and would,
be thought, be all right again in a short time.
Her fever was less today than on Sat-
urday or yesterday and the disease seemed
to be losing its hold. The Nc.
Kee children, he said, were we'll and
he felt confident they would escape the disease
Notwithstanding its insidious and contagious
character, and their exposure to it before its
presence in the house was known.
The White House was closed to the public
today and will probably remain so until II is
again free from disease.

STAR reporter found him in his Office
at the War Department this afternoon and
asked him II he had any news from
the Mexican frontier. He said he
had not heard anything official
from Texas for several days and did not expect
any reports from there unless the troops now
in the held should have an engagement with
some OF the men responsible for the
recent outrages on the border. He
did not believe, however, that the troops would
meet with any resistance on their march, for
signal for the guerinas to scatter in
every direction. conceal their arms
in the brush and destroy all
evidence Of an unlawful character. On such
occasions they usually reappear to the troops
shortly afterwsrd in the innocent guise Of cow
boys and ranchers. Then, unless the civil
authorities identified them as revolu-
tionists or as persons who had violated
the neutrality laws, the troops could do nothing
with them. Gen. Schofeld said he thought
there were no guerillas on the American shore
of the Rio Grande, and that the people who are
making all the trouble in that vicinity dwell or
roam almost entirely on the other side.
Capt. John G. Bourke, third cavalry, who has
been stationed at San Antonio, Tex, for sew
eral months past, arrived in the city to-
day, in response TO q summons to consult
with Secretary Elkins and Gen. Schoheld
In regard to the situation on the border. He
has not been identified with the present trou-
bles, but Is thoroughly conversanf with the ter
ritory and the character of the people response

No information has reached either the War
Department CT the Department of Justice in re-
gard to the reported capture of deputy United

WANDERED AWAY.

For nearly four weeks now Rev. Joshus

Rochester, n. Y. Mrs. Thompson has written
to them informing them Of her husbands ab-
sence and has received replies that they have
not seen the missing man.
1t is proposed now 10 take some steps to clear
up the mystery which surrounds his where
abouts. Rev. Mr.. Thompson is about sixty
seven years Of age. and has not been actively In
the ministry for number Of years past. He

years ago he came to this city with his vile and
opened boarding house. He preached occa-
sionally at Union chapel and attended with con-
siderable regularity Foundry Church He was
man OF venerable appearance, but during the
past year some Of his friends thought that he
began to show signs Of mental failure.
II became necessary for him to leave the
house on q street between 18th and 18th streets,
and the removal and the uncertain future
together with some trouble about HE property
in Rochester, is thought to have affected his
mind.
The house 719 sth street was secured when
the furniture was removed. portion of IL

or two rooms and the lease of the house given
up. While looking about for another house

bag and leaving IS with her be started of.
He had with him between s2o0 and $500.
