Warm Praise for L. II. Carpenters Work
as "A Judge at the Worlds Fair.

The Musical Courier was one of the pub
LEGATIONS which opposed the appointment OF
H. r. Carpenter as one of the judges OF
musical instruments at the Worlds Fair,
put in an article on the latest work of the
bureau of awards it makes the following
handsome acknowledgement:
Mr.. Carpenter finished his work with
the bureau with the completion of the
revision of awards. From all appearances
he has succeeded in acquitting himself to the
complete satisfaction of the exhibitors and
authorities, and not one word of complaint
mas been heard of or lodged against him.
during the heat of the battle some UNI
klhd words may have been uttered against
MI Carpenter, but it is due to him now
70 state that he has concluded his labors
with all evidences in his favor showing
good Judgment, fair and equitable dealings
towards all and desire to come out of it
WIN credit to himself and his name. AS
II Is characteristic of gentility to make
an honorable admission of this kind
towards one who has been subjected to
severe criticism, The Musical Courier is
o,niy TOO glad to place E. p. Carpenter in
MS proper light before the music trade.

KipIIng's Admirable Sketch---He VIII
Not Give Readings from His own


KipIing's Admirable Sketch---He VIII
Not Give Readings from His own
Works.
Mr.. Kipling has done an admirable piece
of work in his sketch, "Her Majesty's
Servants" which has made a double APP
pearance in this country, by the way, in
the pages of the Pail Mall magazine and
in a Harper periodical. 1t is the hand of
a master that brings out the strongly diff
ferentiated characters of the troop-horse,
the mules, the bullocks, the camel, the ell
ephant and the little dog; and the story
marches with accommodating force to the
climax of the great review and the lesson
foreseen from the begnning-the lesson
which holds the secret of British power.
Mr.. Kipling, it is said, has decided not
to give readings from his own works. This
is wise, no doubt, from the point of view
ofSthe man who wants to preserve his
health and his literary power. Looking at
the question as a matter of money, there
is as little doubt that the young author
would make fortune with such readings
He could command his own price.
Another report concerning Mr.. Kipling
is to the effect that he intends to establish
a new periodical in England. He would
probably make an excellent editor, but it
would be at the expense of his creative
work.-NeU York Tribune.

NO IMPROVEMENT In TRADE
TRUST STOCKS DECLINE.
Low Prices for Wheat and Cotton Affect
General Business.

II. q. Dun h Co.'S weekly Review Of
Trade" says. The lowest prices ever known
for wheat and cotton necessarily imply some
what restricted consumption of other pro-
ducts. With the chief money crops Of the
West and South sinking In value, II Is not
strange that purchasers OF manufactured pro-
ducts are smaller than was expected. Wheat
suffers most from accumulation OF stock In
sight, and the exports in September were un-
usually small. For the first week Of October
Atlantic exports were ,097. 372 bushels against
$780, last year. and Western receipts were
only 4Gl 900 against 6. l30. go lasr year, and
these figures give some encouragement, but
have little influence in view of the unusual
visible supply.
Corn receipts nj the West have been only n
third as large as they were last year. with
exports amounting to nothing. but the price
has not further declined after the heavy fall
during the previous fortnight. Pork products
are weak In tone, though only lard is quoted
lower. The new demand In dry goods Is not
as large as n has been. and In spring goods
the market Is called remarkably dull, though
there is relatively a good deal doing in cur
rent orders for fall trade. Cotton print
cloths are IA shade stronger. Woolens are less
active and while there are numerous small or
ders for fall goods the demand for spring
goods is as yet not more than about three
quarters OF the ordinary quantity and mainly
limited to the cheaper grades. Sales OF wool
for the week have been 5,926,050 pounds,
against o, ,272, 400 two years ago.
The volume OF domestic trade indicated by
the exchanges at the principal clearing
houses is LIS per cent. larger than year
ago. but In comparison with 1892 shows n de-
crease OF 22.s per cent. Railroad earnings
thus far reported for September are 81 per
cent. less than last year and 1T.5 per cent less
than In 1892. The stock market continues TO

THE WOOL TRADE.
Prices as Low as They Can Be Market
Steady and Trade Fair.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says of the wool trade
The market since the 25th ult has been
steady with a fair trade: II IL has gained no
strength II certainly is no weaker. II there is
not so much demand az dealers like 10 see.
still the aggregate purchases Of many
small buyers amount to considerable
In week as the record at that date
shows. The general belief is that our
market Is down TO the worlds level on
prices, and that 1t is not policy TO put
them any lower. although the trade is ready
for transaction every day in the week but
Sunday. There IL not so far as we know,
any disposition to part with stock outside OF
tho range OF current quotations. while there
has been rather miscellaneous business
done this week, there has been more fine do.
mestic taken than for some weeks previously
and the sales Of foreign wool greatly exceed
those made between the 18th and 18th ult.
The sales OF the week amount 10 l.j65. .i50
pounds domestic and /. l.7j9.5O0 foreign. max
ing II total OF 2.i57, 500 for the previous week.
and n total Of | .l97 $50 pounds for the cor
responding week last year. The sales since

sales In Philadelphia amount to l,i95, 600
