TIE PRICE OF WOOL


Nevor Known TO DO no Low Us it IL this
seaSon4Tho Eject OF the Wilson Blll.
West Virginia fine washed wool is
selling Just now ut l6 cent?. 1t has not
been 80 cheap in many years. Last
year when % cents was the ruling price,
and Horkheimer Bros. and other local
dealers woro predicting still lower fig
ures, Democratic politicians and wool
growers denounced this prediction US Il
scheme to bear the market. 4 w:iter
in the Register referred to tho wool
dealers in general rs bunco men, and
said they wero trying to force prices
down and rob the growers. The talk OF
cheaper wool was pronounced "bluh."
This year mon who have heretofore
held their wool till the market suited
them, have been compelled to
sell their clips to get ready cash TO pay
their taxes. There has been 4 good
deal OF argument as 10 the effect OF tho
tariff on the price OF wool. but tho fig
ures for the year and half last paat tell
story. An lSTELLlGENCER reporter
yesterday obtained them from HorIi-
heimer Bros, the largest wool dealers
in Wheeling or vicinity. Tho prices
their books show to have prevailed ran
as follows:
February. cents
March, cents
April Ccuts
May, lsSj cents
June, 1875. cents
July, -'....-..'..o cents
Twenty cents prevailed up to this
years clip. Since it began to come into
market prices have ruled as follows:
June 70 Juno IL cents
SiIco June cents
At the same time other dealers have
paid but 10 cents.
In former years 50 cents was con-
sidered cheap for this grade OF wool.
It has often been predicted that this
wool would never get down to quarter.
IN addition to its low price now, there
never was go dull market for it. Every
body, both manufacturers and buyers.
is whiting on the outcome OF the Wilson
bill. which is to put wool on tho free
list. There arc in the east millions OF
pounds OF wool in bond which have
been imported at cost to tho holder
of.l6 cents pound. AS q dealer said
the other day. Wool today is selling
at free wool price. for who can afford
to pay the duty when it must be taken
oil soon%
The best authorities agree, however,
that when wool is on the free list tho
price will go still notch lower.
II the old idea that M article costs in
this country the foreign price with duty
added, then 10 cent wool would be worth
but five conts in England. The fact is
tho same wool sells to-day in England
at s punce, or 16 cent?.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The officials of

States because of the special discriminating

unfortunate" said DR.. d. E. Salmon, chief
ing the report, las the German markets
have been opened to us after a good deal
of trouble. But it has not been the for

diseased character of American meat, cat
tie and hogs, that has kept us out of their
markets. Our inspection service has re-
suited in establishing that American hogs
are free from trichinosis and our cattle
have no trace of pleuro-pneumonia. That
being established this country is able TO
make large shipments, I'M / am inclined TO

VICTORY FOR RECEIVERS.
Northern Pacific Officers May Issue ST.
100000 Worth of Certificates.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Judge Jenkins. of the
United States Court, presided to-day in
continued hearing of the application of the
Northern Pacific receivers for leave to
issue s., 900 of receivers certificates Hen
ry Payne. one of the receivers. was present
with ex-senator Spooner, Of Wisconsin NJ.
II. Cordezo, of New York. representing the
second mortgage bondholders, opposed the
issue, claiming that it was unjust to the
second and third mortgage holders. At
torneys for the receivers followed with ar
guments for the application.
The court decided in favor of the re-
ceivers. Judge Jenkins said in rendering
his decision that the fear OF the bondhold-
ers that by the issuing of receivers GER
tifcates a lien would be created upon the
property which would prejudice their mort
cages was to a great extent imaginative.
The debts which the receivers want to
meet with the certificates are in them
selves liens prior to the mortgages. The
court granted the application for leave
TO issue certificates TO the amount OF $780,
W0, and ordered the receivers 10 report TO
the court on Oct. p the bonds which shall
have been received Tor them and the rate
Of interest offered.
The question of the certificates having
been disposed of the court took up the re-
port of the master in chancery on the APP
plication for the removal of Thomas f.
Oake as receiver. The report, which was
submitted TO the court at Milwaukee some
weeks ago, exonerates Cakes from the
charges of Illegal practices in the manipu-
lation of the Northern Pacific property
and the company and bondholders filed a
would devote the evenings Of this week
TO the argument on the motion, the hear
ing TO take place at the Lexington Hotel.
The court adjourned to meet at the hotel
tonight.

redeem such notes whenever the treasury
for redemption. Millions of dollars OF these
notes having been lost or destroyed. will.
consequently, never appear for redemption.
The legal-tender money held for their re-
demption is. practically, the property of
the United States. This redemption fund
was about 100000. and was so much
Iegal-tender money piled up in the treas
ury Of no use TO the government or the
people. The Republican Congress trans
ferred this money TO the general assets of
the treasury and appropriated a sufficient
sum to redeem all of the notes of dead
banks which might be presented. That
money was used in the redemption of bonds.
To take that idle money and put it into
circulation by purchasing and retiring in
terest-bearing bonds-was that good police
or not? Is 1t good policy to add millions
TO the circulation and at the same time
think not; but it is not making much diff
ference what the nepotic statesman thinks
this year. The 5 per cent. fund which living
national banks are required to keep in the
treasury for the redemption of their notes,
sent there for that purpose. has not been
touched. Every Democratic Senator except
three voted for that provision of the cur
rency bill when 1t was attached to a free
coinage proposition.

FROM BERING SEA.
Return of the MOhican and COrwin-
Reindeer Multiplying i'm Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The United
cutter Corwin have arrived here from
Boring sea. The Mohican, having lost two
blades of her propeller came down slowly
under sail and steam. Both vessels ex-
p%erienced heavy gales off the northern Cali
fornia coast, during which the Corwin's
two of her boats smashed.
The revenue cutter Bear is still in the
north and will not arrive here before De-
cember. The Corwin left her first officer
and four men at st. George island, and
dispatched Lieutenant Jacob to one of the
westerly islands to enter the sealing
schooners that put in for winter. The Bear
also dropped her first officer and four men
on st. Paul island. Mrs. Healy, wife Of
Captain Healy, of the Bear; Fred Funston,
of the Department of Agriculture, who has
been collecting plants in the vicinity of st.
Michael's; three sick whalers and five
strande miners from the Yukon country
were passengers on the Corwin. The
Mohican also brought down five strande
miners. These men belong to a party of
forty prOspectOrS who were stranded at
Forty Nile creek in the Yukon country,
where the richest placer diggings in Alaska
have been found.
At Port Clarence the reindeer are multi
