DEEPENING THE CHANNEL

There VIII be No Further Trouble at
the Drawbridge This Year.
The steamer Varuna went up to the
draw yesterday and anchored there for
some hours, keeping her wheel turning
TO stir up the sand that had blocked the
channel. She succeeded in deepening
the channel considerably, and this, in
connection with the fact that the late rain
has raised the river about eight inches
and will probably raise it more, will in
all probability obviate the danger of fur
ther trouble of boats getting aground III
passing through.

A PBTTICOAT TREASURY.
How 1t Wont Broke. and Only a Pin
Remained.


Remained.
A well-known lady, who reposes no
faith in banks, put pins much to skirts,
yesterday pinned a cloth in which was
wrapped S155 in gold to the inner side of
one OF her pettcoats, and started for the
schoolhouse at Seventh and G. streets
upon an errand. She made the trip in
safety, and the return to her residence,
well up l street, where she made the dis
covery that her store of gold had disap-
peared, and only the pin remained.
No explanation is vouchsafed by the
chagrined woman why she abandoned the
safe deposit above the heart, that her sex
so much employ for the storage OF trea-
sure.
Now, however. that the petticoat bank
has suspended payment through failure
to retain gold in suspension, it is safe to
conclude that this particular fair one''
will either resort to the old method of de-
posit, or rust bank with her future ac-
cumulations of wealth.

Fall in Foreign Prices.

Free Traders have been fond OF
drawing comparisons between the low
er price of American wool under the Nc
Kinley law and prices current previous
to 1860. 1t is true that previous to
1860 the clean secured value of
Ohio Xxx was 50 cents per pound,
and its clean secured value under
the Mckinley law before it was men,
aced with repeal in the early part of
1898 was 70 cents-a decline of I2H
per cent. This fact has been given
great prominence; but the advocates
Of this view have been ominously 81
lent as to the 40 per cent decline in
London in wool of the same kind and
quality during the same period. For
some years previous to 1860 the Lon
don value of Australian clean secured
wool similar to Xxx Ohio was 65 cents,
but in 1898 its value was only IS cents
"a decline in the Free Trade markets
of the world of over 40 per cent, as
against a 1ecline under Protection in
the United States for wool of the same
quality and condition of only IL y per
cent.-American Economist.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1894-03-31
Our Consumption of Wool.

The total supply of raw wool for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1898.
was about 532, ooo, 600 pounds in ad-
dition to the importation OF about S3S,
900, 900 worth of imported cloth at the
foreign value. 1t is estimated that
the wool required to produce these
goods was over three pounds of I'M
washed wool per dollars worth OF
goods. This would therefore make a
total consumption by the American
people of nearly $50, 900, 900 pounds
OF raw wool, equal to about 27 per
cent of the worlds supply. AS the
American people are only S per cent
of the world population, and as they
use II per cent of the world produo
ton of wool, the per capita consumr-
ton is "a pounds. which is the larg-
est by any nation in the world. 1t is
therefore not surprising that foreign
ers are jubllant over the prospect of
being able to secure greater share o.
the United States market, which ad
vocates of the Wilson bill declare will
be the result of its becoming a law,
depriving the American producer Of
just so much of the American market
as this bill proposes to give to the for
eigner;for whatever additional employ
ment is thus given to the foreigner, to
that extent is the amount of work for
our own people lessened, American
Economist.
