BUSINESS BREVITIES.

WOOL.-The wool year. SAYS Dun.
ended May l with more wool in the
country than ever before. and probably
much more than the entire consumption
for the coming twelve months,if not
another pound should be imported. Es-
timating on the number OF sheep Of
ficially reported. with weights of fleece,
in each state as given by the Manufac-
turers' association last year. the clip
of 1896 would be about 275.00O.OOO lbs.
Imports in twelve months have been,
including wool waste. about 5000, 900
in any year, while the demand for con-
sumption Is now at least 10 Der cent.
below the maximum for goods. domestic
and foreign together and the foreign
imports of goods represent about $780,
000, 900 Ibis. more raw than in the years
Of greatest production and prosperity.
These facts would indicate a domestic
consumption not exceeding 300. 900
lbs. unless the demand materially in
creased. while the past years consump-
ton must have left In the country much
more than 225, ,OOO. 600 lbs. old wool. With
a supply SO vastly exceeding probable
requirements, even present low prices
can hardly be maintained. Resales by
manufacturers who have taken wool
against which they get no orders, have
formed a considerable part of the sales
in March and April. and April sales at
the three chief markets have been the
smallest known for many ears i'm any
month, except in the panic months June
and August. 1898. and June. 1894. Sales

THE ANTHRACITE OUTLOOK
The anthracite coal trade Is admittedly
in better condition today than 1t has
been for many months, says the Phila-
delphia Stakeholder The season Of
large demand is directly ahead. and
prices are rigidly maintained. 1t Is
thought that while concert of action
will be hidden from the public So far
as any formal announcement of a gen.
eral agreement Is concerned, the an
thracite coal producers will not be sat
isfied until the average price of coal
at tide is "a a ton. The tendency is to
reach that figure without undue delay
The various companies at present are
making money. and their profits will
increase from month to month during
the year For once. there is little likeli-
hood of inside opposition. 1t is tacitly
agreed that none of the producing con-
Germs can afford to adopt a policy of
obstruction. This argues for cohesion
on the part of all, and good results from
an earning standpoint. An era of pros
perity in the anthracite coal trade Is.
therefore. seemingly ahead.
ANTHRACITE PRICES.-When the
anthracite coal combination was first
formed it was stated that II was the
policy of the powers to advance prices
gradually during the year until the
average per ton at tide was $4 q ton.
The action of the Reading and the Le-
high Valley, in marking the price up
at this time % cents ton, their action
to be followed by similar action on the
part of the other leading interests, Is
says the Philadelphia Stakeholder, In
line with this declaration. 1t Is not
likely, of course, that an open avowal Of
the policy of the combine will be made.
and, on the other hand, u degree Of
secrecy will be maintained as to con-
certed action: this In view Of hostile
sentiment. easily aroused by movements
of so-called trusts" Moreover. the
New York legislature is still In session,
and to be reckoned with until its ad :

Hopes for the River and harbOr
Bill,
ADJOURNMENT On JUNE lST
Appropriation Bills to Go Through tho

tion Cases to be Considerable Other
business In Prospect.

Washington. May SIN the senate to-
morrow Mr.. Frye will call up the river
and harbor bill. and he hopes to get
this important measure passed inside
of two days. The only item that Is eX-
pected to cause trouble is that providing
for the construction of a deem sea har-
bor at Santa Monica, California. which
is being antagonized by the California
senators, and upon which lively fight
is being waged in favor of the rival
harbOr of San Pedro. So many and di-
verse interests in favor Of the river and
harbor appropriations that no serious
difficulty is anticipated in putting them
through the senate, Notwithstanding
the large addition to the drain on the
treasury made by the upper chamber.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill comes next in order and after that
shall have been disposed of uere Will
only be the fortiiications and the gen
eral deficiency appropriation bills to be
acted upon by 1.-The senate. Republican
managers intend, II they can. to put
all the approximation bills through the
senate by May IL.
This. according to the programme,
will leave two weeks clear In which to
discuss and adjust in conference the
differences between the house ana SEN
ate as to- particular items Of appropria-
tions. and will open the way to an ad-
journment by June LIST. Similar pre-
dlctions have been heard In many pre-
vious long sessions of congress but
have seldom been fulfilled.
CONTESTED ELECTIONS.
The only item of business that has
been decided upon for the consideration
of the house of representatives tbs
week is the report of elections commit
tee No. ! upon the contested election
ease of Reinaker vs. Downing from the
Sixteenth Illinois district. In this case
the majority of the committee recon-
mend the unseating of Downing, the
Democratic candidate who was given
the certificate and the seating of Rein
aker. his Republican opponent. The
minority with whom Mr.. Moody tRep..
Mass) unites recommend recount OF
the votes. \ vigorous fight will be
made over this report. for II the report
he agreed to. it will exclude from the
house the last remaining Democrat In
the Illinois delegation of - members.
Tomorrow Is suspension day, and un-
less the committee on rules shall other
wise determine before the house meets.
the session will be devoted to motions
to pass bills under suspension of the
rules.
Two days will probably be given for
the consideration of private pension
bills which will enable the committee
on invalid pensions to make some pro
gress towards clearing the calendar of
that class of measures.
Three appropriation bills are in con-
ference-the legislative. executive and
Judicial, sundry civil and 1ndian-and
reports upon one or more of them ought
to he ready for submission to the house
before the close of the week.

journment. The various producing
companies Will, however, prepare for
the carrying, out of the general policy
agreed upon without needless delay
Even at present prices they are not
making money IL proper sinking funds
are charged against coal extracted to
reimburse the owners of the properties
for capital expended In the purchase
and Improvement OF collieries. 1t Is
figured by people who have gone very
deeply into the anthracite question
that coal sold on the basis of less than
$3.50 per ton for stove at tide water Is
being mined and sold at a loss. Very
few or the companies charge a sinking
fund against coal extracted, but all
should. There is only a certain amount
of coal in the ground. and when any
Is taken out Il can never be replaced; ;
yet. in spite of this, some companies
are adding year by year to the capitali-
zation Of their collieries. notwithstand-
Ing the steady process Of exhaustion
that Is going on.

Bridge, the presiding magistrate, heard
arguments upon an application for the
eXtradiction of Dr. Cornelius Herr who
is wanted i'm France to answer charges

otherwise with intent to extort money.
Dr. Herr, who was alleged to have
been associated with the late Baron

years Imprisonment and to pay a
heavy fine, but the application for his
eXtradition on this judgment was re-

arguments, formally refused to grant

NAVAL OFFICERS DEATH.
Commander Felix McCurlcy Passes Away
nt Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. May 3.-Commander
Felix McCurley, United States navy,
captain of the League Island navy
yard. died at that station this morning
of heart failure. Commander McCur-
ley was born in Baltimore in 1885, and
early in life entered the merchant ma
rine service. When the war broke out
he entered the United States navy as
acting master. He served throughout
the war with great gallantry. and was
under fire more than forty times.
At the conclusion of the war Com
mander McCurlcy was commissioned as
master and entered the navy with that
rank. Since the war he was attached
to various squadrons in different parts

London. May 3.--Prime Minister Sal
isbury's arrival at the belief that at
an early period woman suffrage will
be conceded. as shown in speech de-
livered by him on last Wednesday. does
not mean that the Question Is before
the cabinet. On the contrary, II Is
improbable that the present govern
ment will even consider the question. a
majority CT the ministers strenuOusly
oppose the granting of the franchise to
women. Mr.. Arthur j. Balfour. First
Lord of the treasury. is the only mem
her of the cabinet who sided with Lord
Salisbury in this matter.
Cardinal Vaughan. archbishop of
Westminster. has written to the WO-
mems Suffrage committee, saying that
the franchise ought to be granted to
them. 1t would be just and beneficial
