;sw York Wool Market,


BTddstrters
The demand for wool has fallen of con-
siderably, with sales much reduced. 1t is
not known what has caused the quietnesss,
hut BUYERS appear to have fallen away all
at once, although it is hoped that this ces-
sation is only temporary. The mills have
not large enough supplies on hand to last
them long, and while manufacturers only
buy raw material from hand TO mouth they
cannot keep their machinery going without
purchasing more wool. Values are not
materially changed for most kinds, but the
tone is easy for common lots. Fleeces are
scarce, and while the demand is limited
choice delaines and combings are firm.
Sales Of No. Ohio combing have been
made at 26c, with Ohio delaines at 24a25c.
Territory woods are slow. The London
sale opened May l. with woods ut for
America quite firm and in good competi-
ton, but poorer grades are quoted 5 per

OF Jerrold's quick and pungent wit
Mr.. Nizetelly adduces several sparkling
instances. One evening when Mrs. Jer
rold, whose waltzing days might be con
sidered over, had taken the floor" with
casual partner, somebody asked Jerrold
who it was dancing with his wife. He in
stantly replied, "Some member of the HUI
name society" Having read in manu-
script an ambitious production Of youth
full poet, he was mildly Intercepted short
ly afterward by its author as to whether
he thought the poem good. Good, my
dear boy, is not the word" was the dOu-
BILE edged answer, riposted like II swift ra,
pier thrust Another such piercing re
joinder was that he made to Heraud when
the latter asked him if he had read his
descent Into He'll, " an epic poem lately
written by that poet. "No," responded
Jerrold, "but | should like to see it, -
Heraud was VIGOROUSLY neglectful of his
person, and somebody having expressed
to Jerrold his wonder that "the careless
bard always had such dirty hands, was
assured that ait arose from his habit of
constantly putting them TO his face. -

Telegraph operators have their trials
as well a. ticket agents and other Off
cials. Is this the place to send tcle-
grams from;' demanded woman
breathlossly of the operator in an out of
town railway station. 1T is, ma am, :"
replied the operator as he handed her the
pad of yellow blanks and pen and ink,
"Just like mine, +" said the woman,
comparing the blanks with crumpled
one She had in her hand.
"NOw, let me see. What day in the
month is it?'
Twelfth, ma am. "
Gan right. Now, let me see. You
may come tomorrow if it is just exactly
as-whF, there are 10 words already,
and John told me / ought always to get
a message into 10 words. "
lyon might leave out the unimpor-
tant words, - suggested the operator.
"Why, it seems as if they were all
just as necessary as they could be, " said
the woman in an aggricvcd tone But
after repeated countings on her fingers
and several seasons Of meditation she at
last reduced the message to exactly 10
words, although, as she said, it sound
ed real harsh and unfricndly to her.
She destroyed a considerable number
Of blanks during this process, but eyed
the last one with evident satisfaction
and approval.
"And now I'd like an envelope, if
you please, she said pleasantly to the
operator as she began to fold up the
blank.
"Whnt for?" inquired that long suf-
foriug person.
"What for!" echoed the woman.
"Why, mino came in an envelope. I'll
pay cent extra if you're not willing
to throw it i'll for the quarter. -

THE CRUISER OLYMPIA.
WILL BE READY FOR COMMISSION
NOVEMBER list.
iIarveyized Plates From Carnegie Were
Frauds Charleston Goes Into
Dry-dock.

The cruiser Olympia will, il no further
delay happens, be ready for commission
about November LIST, at which date II Is
expected that she will leave the Union
Iron Works. She would have been
ready some time ago had it not been for
delay in delivering her turret armor.
The naval department has Just
authorized $1,000 worth OF changes in
her cabins in order to obviate their
being too much crowded by the passage
through them OF ammunition hoists.
The last armor plates will soon be on the
way to San Francisco.
The department has not yet decided
what action to take with reference TO
certain defective plates of the cruls rs
which were found to have never been
Harveyized. Recent experiments with
Harveyized plates, however, are begin
ming to discrcdit the process in the eyes
of naval experts, and it may be decided
that the failure to put these plates
through the process is net sufficient to
warrant their being changed.
1t is noticeable that since the armor
frauds were exposed Harveyized plates
sent from Carnegie's works have not
