---7-- Boston Wool Market.

The price of wool is nominally about the same as 8 week ago, but dealers as rule are anxious to reduce their stocks, and will not quibble much over any fair bid. Buyers arc not to be tempted, however, and except the man
 ufacturer has use for the wool. low prices are no inducement for him to stock up. The recent big purchases by a few large. buyers tended to steady the market at the time, but there is no doubt but the same grade of woos can be purchased as cheaply on the present market. The repeal of the silver pur- chase clause would be apt to steady general conditions and thus help the sale of wool through better demand for goods, but the expected tariff change will tend to keep operations down to low point, however, uo mat ter how good tone prevails for other merchandise.
 The worst feature of the present sit uation is the uncertainty regarding what will be done, which forces a lack of confidence all along the line. Wcro something definite known, the trade could adapt themselves to the new con- ditions to some extent, and with busi- ness done on that basis, fair encourage ment 10 spread out would naturally fol- low. As it is, it is complete darkness ahead, and with depression in the air, all are waiting.
 The movement in territory wools is quiet, but some fair lots are being placed from week to week. Prices favor the buyer right through, and as rule any fair bid is not being refused. Stocks on the market are not large, and there is general anxiety io keep the wool moving. The secured basis for choice warp wools is nominally about 34(g36c. for fine medium, with choice fine quoted at 36(G40c., but concessions are readily made from these figures. Buyers are yet buying to finish up goods in course of manufacture. but to tempt them to go beyond this the most :beral conces- sions would have to be made. A fair amount of Texas wool is on the market, which is quoted about the same as ter ritory. California wools move slowly. with the secured basis nominalIy about 28(733c. for fall, with defective at 2O026c.

IT seems that while some of the sen sa;ional newspapers were crediting the new Chinese minister with making threats of retaliation in case the Geary law was enforced, that moon-faccd diplomatic was engaged in far more pacific task---that of assuring Secre- tary Gresham that if the law was amended so as to give the Chinese in the Uuited States a reasonable time 10 register he would pledge his govern. meut to see that they registered. The McCrcary bill, which now has the right of way In the house until disposed of, amends the Geary law so as to give the Chinese six months to register, and modihcs it in several other ways.

A PROCEEDING that is rather rough on the most disirterested parties in the affair is the order given by the board of supervisors of Coconino county to its district attorney to sue the bondsmcn uf the county treasurer who lost some of the county funds by placing them in a bank that failed. The treasurer him self was whl.ewashed and continued in his position, and then everybody shook hands all around, excepting the poor boudsmen, who are ruefully inquiring where they come in.-Tucson Enter prise.

Old Kinds of Music Disappearing.

- The little clavichord of past times
needs that a present day pianist should
put his ear to it in order to hear it. It's
delicate, miniature yradations Of tone
would be- lost inded on a modern au-
dience. Yet Bach's forty-eight preludes
and fug ies were written for it. We're
they intended for a single hearer?
String quartetes still hold their own,
but the day is not far off when they,
too, must disappear from public life be-
fore the myriad-headed audiences of the
immediate future. They will retire
into private circles and become again
what they were originally intended to
be-chamber music. Some day-may
it be a distant one--they may be re-
vived by the curious in tlLoss things, as
specimens of a charming but obsolete
form of art.-Nineteenth Century.

A CHEAP POULTRY HOUSE.

An Elaborate Structure Not Essential
Anyone Can Have This.
Experience has proved that twenty
fowls. properly housed, provided with
suitable food. pure water, clean nest
boxes, plenty of dust, lime in some
form, and gravel, will return more clear
profit than fifty kept as they generally
are upon farms. If you suggest a good
poultry house to the average farmer.
there arises in his mind the image of an
elaborate affair costing 500 to 5000.
Not being able to build such a house,
he goes without and his poultry exposed
to the inclemency of the cold stormy
weather of winter, are dead ex-
pense full two-thirds of the year, eat
ing valuable food constantly and Weld
ing nothing in return. A poultry house
large enough to properly shelter twenty
fowls can be erected at very small
cost We give list of all the materials
OF which, with the exception of the
sash, costs s3.S5. The sash was taken
from a hot bed that is used for the,
sprouting sweet potatoes in the spring.
When the sash is required for the hot
bed, the season is mild and the opening
is covered with boards. This structure
is nine feet wide, twelve feet long
and five feet high in the center
The short side of the roof is two feet
long, and the long side which fronts to
the south and comes to within eighteen
inches OF the ground is seven feet At
the farther end OF the roof boards ex-
tend over an opening made for the
fowls to pass in and out, the perches
are one foot above the floor, and extend
along the north side of the interior.
The bottom board on that side is hung
with hinges so it can be raised, and the
droppings under the perch scraped
out The nest boxes are arranged
along the low side, the dust box is
placed in the sunniest spot, and the
food and water troughs near the
door. One pane of glass in the sash is
loose, so that it may be moved down for
The floor should be COW
cred with sand when obtainable; if not.
with straw. chaff or other similar ma
terial that can be raked out when
soiled The whole interior should be
given fresh coat of whitewash at least
four times a year and the perches
swabbed with kerosene. Hens kept in
this house lay steadily all winter. The
poultry house here described is easily
cleaned, and answers as well as a more
costly one.-Ex.
