THE PRICE OF WOOL,
A Dealer Just Home from the East
Talks on the Subject,
THE FIGURES MUST GOlOYER YET.
Manufacturers will not Buy more
than they are Compelled to, Cloth.
ing Dealers r Holding off, aud the
People are Waiting Developments,
Wool Growers are Rowing to tho
Inevitable.

Mr.. Morris Horkheimer, of nork,
helmer Bros, the leading wool buyers
OF this section, has just returned from
an extended visit to the leading eastern
markets, Yesterday an |IETELLIGENoER
reporter called on him at his office to
see what he Thought of the situation as
regards the price Of wool aud its
tendency. Mr.. Horkheimer was found
to BIO loaded with statistics, and all his
statements he backed up with "docu,
mentary evidence" in the shape Of
letters from manufacturers and buyers
in the east, and as we'll from growers
and agents in the country.
In answer to a question, Mr.. Hork.
heimer said:
wool is bound to go lower. It can.
not help it. Wool is quoted here to-day
at 20 cents for fine washed tleeces. A
manufacturer OF WOODEN goods in the
east said to me the other day that he
could buy in England Just the same
grade OF woods for eight pence, sixteen
cents, except that the English wool is
in so much better condition that it is
worth three cents a pound more. That
would make the American wool, the
tariff of, worth just thirteen cents."
Mr.. Horkheimer said tho manufac-
turers were not willing to buy now.
They have had lots OF orders counter
manded, and so are simply running out
what stock is in hands. A manutac-
turer said:
at is not safe to run up to our usual
product; the American people can do
without clothes for a year if they
want to-"
This is a striking statement, but con-
sidering how well clothed the people Of
this country are, what this manufac-
turer meant, that tho American people
could get along without buying clothes
for q year, is not far from the truth.
Said Mr.. Horkheimer: "Here is a
letter from a man who was buying wool
out in West Virginia, and who said the
Democratic tariff principles had moth
ing to do with the low price of wool;
that We buyers had "A trust and were
scheming to reduce prices. That was
some time ago. Here is o letter from
the same man, in which no offers to
lose his commission on what he bought,
and sacrifice one cent, selling US at IS
cents wool that he paid 10 for. He
had found out what kept the price
down."
Numerous letters Of similar import
were shown. The woolgrowers and
dealers in the small tow ms have had the
hard fact forced on them that with the
tariff OF IL cents taken Off wool the
price must fall to the level Of European
markets, and that with that change
staring them in the face, manufacturers
would be foolish to buy at the present
prices wool to- be used for goods for
next years markets.

Streets Blockaded.

Clean the streets!
No rest on Sunday for the city depart
ments
The snow storm that struck the city
Friday made the worst blockade of the
season, and not only stopped travel on
the railroads but greatly delayed business
in the city, as it was practically impossi-
BILE To reach the sidewalks along the
streets where horse or electric cars run.
The work for the city to do was TO clean
the streets and cart the heaps OF snow
that Law four feet deep In many places to
the river or other open spaces.
Early Saturday the full force of the
city's teams were put to work, and a be-
ginning was made In the center of the
city. All day SATURDAY work was con-
tinued, and on Sunday again the full
force OF city teams was put To work, and
all the available teams IN the city were
hired. There were fourteen single and
fourteen double teams belonging TO the
city department at work, and seventy
three double teams were hired, making a
total of 101 teams Besides the drivers
there were 225 men loading and unload
ing the wagons. Thes teams average
between twenty and twenty. five loads
each during the day The totals, there
fore were 326 men and they carted abou
2.l0O loads during the day. BY night the
center OF the city was cleaned and the
main streets for three-auarters of mile
from Turks Head were passable.
Today the same process is going on and
the same force is at work although the
presence of business wagons aud car
riages will greatly retard lthe work
About 20 per cent more work can be done
on day like Sunday when the streets
are little used.

Regarding the proposed additions TO
Blackstone Park, w. III. Barney, chair
man of the committee TO purchase this
land. says: "The committee were au-
thorzed TO purchase all the !aud from
South Angel street to the present
park that could be purchased for
10 cents per foot. Much OF tie land is
not worth as much as this while some OF
IL is worth great deal more. This makes
the average price OF 10 cents por foot q
good price for the land. Nearly all the
Taber plat with its great frontage on the
Seekonk river has already been secu red
and other land is being purchased as fast
as the agreements can be made with the
owners
''Some of the desirable land which is
owned in small lots cannot be bought
for that figure and IL 1t Is considered
necessary to acquire this n special price
will be necessary. There is another piece
of land which was not included In the
jurisdiction of this committee which Is
almost indispensable and which can be
purchased at the same price namely lO
cents per foot and that is the strip of
woodland between the present park
aud Irving avenue. III this wood is ever
cut off it will make a bare and desolate
spot next the park which will seriousl y
impair its attractiveness. The new
Blackstone Park will bella beautiful place
and viii have beautiful view of the
Seekonk river which in that section is
the most desirable thing.
This land surrounds that occupied by
the Gable Cottage, aud its grounds
which cannot at present be pure hased as
the price demanded is too great for the
commiLtee to deal with. but in all prob
ability the city will acquire this at som g
future time"

tionai Appointments This Morning.

Blodgett is busily engaged in preparing
for the annual canvass of the voting lists.
which takes place on the eth inst. The
supervisors who were sworn in Saturday
afternoon have already begun the work
of searching the records to determine the
qualifications of registry voters Already
the number OF persons of foreign birth
appearing upon the public records as
registry voters, who have never
taken any steps toward naturalization,
is found TO bear an alarming proportion
TO the whole number OF foreign borns on
the list. One or two instances will serve
as illustrations Of this. In one district
alone, out or the ITO foreign borns ap-
pearing as registry voters SO of them
have never taken the first step toward
naturalization. The remaining 81 claim
to have been naturaliz ed, and they will
be looked up accordingly. In another
district LOG out of 235 foreign borns have
never been naturalized, against 129 who
claim TO have been.
The work of the supervisors is neces-
sarily confined to registry voters until
after the voting lists are printed. After
the canvas the real estate and personal
property voters will be scrutinized, with
regards to deaths, removals. etc.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The new quar-
antine law has been approved. But it viii
not be an effective law until after Con-
gress shall have appropriated the $1,000
600 necessary to put it in operation. 1t was
not deemed expedient to include this ap-
preparation in the text of the bill through
fear that, owing to rules OF the House
opportunity would thus be afforded to fiji
buster to prevent action upon it. II this
appropriation had been contained in the
bill, the rules would have been imperative
that 1t should have been considered first
in the committee of the whole.

DISAGREEABLE STORM
The Mercury Sliding Downward All
the Time.
CARTING OFF SURPLUS SNOW.
Reports From Other New England Cities
Where There Is as Much Weather as
There Is In Providence, and as
Nasty.

At o'clock last night began the final
one of the worst storms seen in New Eng
land for several years. 1t is fitting
close to n season OF unexampled atmos-
pheric vagaries.
When the heavy snow storm of Friday
night set in, most people thought that
the maximum of surprises had been
reached. All day Sunday the temper
ature continued to moderate, and the
heavy masses of snow showed tangible
signs of weakening. About r. NJ a
slight fall of snow began which con-
tinued until o'clock this morning
At midnight the wind began To rise,
gently at first, but gradually increasing
until at 1 a. m. IL was blowing seventeen
miles an hour, and still rising. About 4
o'clock the snow ceased, one inch only
having fallen. but the wind continued to
rise and the thermometer TO drop
At o'clock the temperature was s
above zero. From that time IL continued
to rise slowly until IL had reached 10l{
above, when it began TO fall again. AT
11:30 this morning IL had dropped 10. aud
and has been falling steadily since.
The biting air today would be bad
enough. but the high wind has added to
the general discomfort, and the streets
are filled with binding clouds of snow
that literally penetrates ones marrow
in spite OF ulsters and tightly-woven
scarfs.
In front Of the city hall the storm is at
its worst, and the air is one solid snow
bank in motion. Present indications
point to a much greater fall in tempera-
ture, but there is little probability that
we will be visited with any more snow
during the present storm.
The entire season has been an era OF
surprises, and the weather prophets are
utterly prostrated There are already
gloomy prophesies regarding the month
of March. but under the present circum.
stances nobody has time to borro trouble
for the future

The Attempt Failed.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Feb. 2O.-It was
discovered yesterday that desperate at
tempt had been made some time Saturday
night to burn large wooden building on
Penhallow street. The building was
owned by George b. French and occupied
by a family named Hubley. The incendi-
airy broke out n cellar window and threw q
quantity of inflamable matter, saturated
with kerosene, into the cellar. The COM
bustibles fortunately landed in a coal bin
and failed to ignite anything.
