Wool.

Mass, Feb. 16.-The wool
sales for the week were 1,6i5,5OJ pounds;
2O5.MO pounds foreign and 1,265, 400 pounds
domestic. The sales show that a total de-
crease results from last years at corre-
spending date of 15,174,600. The receipts of
wool at Boston since Jan. l similarly show
a decrease to date Of 1854 bales domestic
and 16,6a bales foreign. The market is de-
pressed. There has been a sort OF retail
business, but 10 substantial sales. In a
general way fine fieeces are the weakest
wool, and fine territories the strongest. The
underwear mills have purchased some Aus
tralian lambs on a basis of 60Q62c secured.
Ohio Xxx has sold at 2lhc, a cut OF &c be-
low the lowest figure known. Staple ter

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-The dry-goods
market feels the influence Of better wealth
err. There is q larger local demand and
quite a number of out-of-town buyers com

and altogether the market is more active,
with prices, as a rule, showing no appre-
cable change. Prints and printed fabrics
are selling more freely on orders by mail
and wire, American indigo blues leading
at the recent reduction. Ginghams and
woven wash goods rule quiet but steady.
Hosiery and underwear, unless, strictly
speaking, suitable for spring and summer
use. are neglected. Foreign dry goods and
silks are picking up a little. The tobbing
trade is generally more active. Taken as
a whole. the dry-goods market is in better
form, but any Improvement is Slight.

Perhaps you would not think 80, but
very large proportion of disease in
New York comes from csrelessness about
catching cold" says Dr.. Syrus Edison.
1T is such a simple thing and 80 COM
mon that very few people, unless it is
case of pneumonia, pay any attention to
a cold. New York is one OF the healthi-
est places on the Atlantic coast and yet
there are great many cases of catarrh
and consumption which have their origin
in this neglect of the simplest prscaution
of everyday life. The most sensible ad-
vice lie, when you have one get rid of it
as soon as possible. By all means do
not neglect it," DR.. Edison does not tell
how to cure a cold, but we will. Take

THE PARK COMMISSION.
Tn. Proceeding. a. rhelr Meeting Yos

The Proceedings at Their Meeting Yes
terday.
The park commission held meeting
yesterday morning with Mr.. Jos. Mes
mer in the chair.
The first business transacted was the
adoption of motion asking council for
authority to transfer $l,S76 from the
different park funds into the general
park fund. The question of paying the
men employed on the typographical sur
vey OF Elyeian park was knotty one to
solve, as council had refused to paw them
and there was no funds in the Elysisn
park fund available. After some dis
cussion, it was decided to pay the
bill somehow and discharge the men
for the present.
A communication was read from
Newell & McKillop, the lessees OF the
boat privilege in Westlake park, in which
they suggested some needed alterations
IN the plans of the new boat house.
The commission decided to visit the
lake in body and make an inspection.
On motion it was agreed to confer
with the council regarding an addition
to Westlake park and an addition OF 81
acres to the Eastlake park. Superin-
tendent Legrsnd was directed to go
ahead with the construction of foun-
tain in St. james park, not to exceed in
cost $500.
A notice was read from R. F. House,
agent for the collection of delinquent
taxes on property sold to the state, to
the effect that there was $6635 due on
the property known as st. James park,
which would have to be redeemed before
April 10th. The matter WAS referred to
the city council, the tax assessment
having been made when the park WAS
private property.

VERY WRONG, TOWN TALK.

Bro. Hicks blames the Shreveport
Caucasian for his defeat, and the
Caucasian man makes the point that
as An advertising medium, if Bro.
Hicks is right, it offers special attrac-
tionS to the merchants Of Shreveport.
Alexandria Town Talk.
You were never more wrong in all
your life, neighbor! 'Bro, Hicks
did not nor does not lay his DEFEAT to
the Caucasian, + N the fact that no
paper can have much influence in a
campaign which is as inconsistent as
that paper was. You, neighbor, could
not have failed to note this. 1t was
patent even to the most unobserving,
1t was so plain that we and others,
who have gwen the matter thought,
are forced to the conclusion that the
Caucasian's opposition was due much
more to personal antagonism to Mr..
Hicks, than a desire to have the nom
inee succeed.
What Mr.. Hicks did say in his
speech was this, that if he had been
led astray it was the Caucasian's
fault, and read extracts from that
paper declaring that no one would be
bound by the so-called primary.
Oh no, Bro. Town Talk, the eau
casian had very little more to do with
Nr. Hicks defeat, than the personal
vote Of its editor and the force in the
office.

Brain Surgery.

Saving out sections of the skull IN
order to give the brain room to develop
symmetrically seems u rather delicate
and dangerous operation, but it is one
that has on several occasions been per
formed with perfect success. Children
apparently in condition of hopeless
idiocy have been treated upon this plan
and are in prospect of developing the
faculties usual in those of like age. The
removal Of the bone which has become
unduly hardened permits growth, and
the clouded intellect may become clear
and normal.
Attention has been called to cases in
which calculi had formed, as was sup
posed, upon the silk ligatures used in in
ternal operations. In one case an abdoml
nal tumor was removed, and some years
later there were calculi present in guam
tity that caused great distress. 1t was
thought that some irritating property
was present in the silk, and that this
acted as a nucleus around which the
gritty PARTICLES gather. New York Led
