At a mass meeting in New York city
one evening last week. Carroll D..
Wright, United States commissioner of
labor, said: What the men of America
need is place which they shall cherish
and love. where their home life shall be
happy. This question of home means
a settlement of the rum question, the
saloon question and other questions
which are now agitating the public
mind" Great as are the benefits of
homes the results are still more desir-
able when the occupants feel that they
have an ownership therein. There is in
this country need of much improve
ment in this respect as only about 80
per cent of the families own their

brought forward the following syllog-

ID Man and wife are one. Joseph Guv

therefore, Joseph Guy and Edith GUY
are one. CD Joseph Guy is charged
with burning the house of Edith GUY.
But Joseph Guy and Edith Guy are
one: therefore. Joseph Guy is charged

favorable as had been represented to
them as many misleading accounts of this
country had been published abroad. In
a word, he had urged caution and espec-

unskiled American laborers, as the coun-
always said that he could not advise any
worthy citizen Of the United States to
leave that country, one of good law and
good constitutions, to go into a foreign

Dear sir.-The Brokers exchange of
New York. is not known here so far
as we can learn. The best definition of it
is that
A COUPLE OF BROKERS
got together some years since and made
quotations Of lead for the west and had
them sent over the wire. These prices
have caused Tor a long time a good. deal
OF confusion TO the trade here, and some
way or another the west got to look upon
those prices as ruling.
But the prices we send out are the cor
rect ones. They are based upon the set
ting price. which
GOVERNS ALL TRADING HERE,
and which are based on sales when made,
or, in the absence of sales, the bids and
offerings on the New York Metal ex-
change. the membership of which takes
in essentially the entire metal interest
Of the city. | enclose a book containing

When quotations are based upon sales,
sixteen tons, which is one car load, makes
the basis.
This, we believe, covers all of the in
quiries. Your truly,

Of New York. As it is a very important

Where is the Metal exchange of New

Who are the officers?
Are the quotations based on sales, or
bids. or offerings?
if on sales, how many tons does it re-
quire TO make the basis of quotations?
understand that the quotations fur
nished Wells, Fargo & Co., come from the
Brokers exchange of New York. VIII you
please answer the same questions in
regard to the Brokers' exchange as those
asked in regard to the Metal exchange.
For some reason the quotations furnished
by The Brokers exchange have
ALWAYS RULED OUR WESTERN
