The Wool Trade.

The American Wool and Cotton Report
er says of the wool trade;
The sales in the three principal markets
have amounted to 2, ,502. 500 pounds, ,744,-
foreign wool. Little change can be dis
cerned in the situation as described at
last writing. With a supply of good pro-
portions pretty well distributed through
all classes of wool, there is practically no
demand, the. e.fitful, scattering trade which
obtains from one end of the week to the
other, to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
Not.only is there no demand, there.is no
striking inclination to sell stock. Close
scrutiny OF credits, decided preference
to let possible opportunities OF trade go
by rather than take the chances OF bad
losses, is characteristic OF this epoch of
our commercial history. 1t is aistrust that
is doing more to postpone business recov-
cry than any other impeachment. There
appears to be no particular scarcity of
money among those who are usually fairly
well provided, but there is the most
marked Discrimination on the part Of
these TO invest good money in local busi-
ness enterprises, or to exchange any of it
for merchandise to an extent beyond the
simplest individual or family require
ments.
sales since January, 1895, have amount
ed to SO. 3l7, ,9l5 POUNDS, against GO, 47S, ,S95
pounds year ago.
NEW YORK.
Sales for the week, 209, 500 pounds; do
nestle, 5000 pounds, and l43,6O0 pounds
foreign wool.

Sales for the week, 1.751, 001 pounds;
1886, 0c0 pounds domestic; 415, ,000 foreign.
PHILADELPHIA.
The aggregate amount sold has been
542, 300 pounds; 342, 800 pounds domestic,
200, 600 pounds foreign wool.
ST. LOUIS.
The feature of the week has been the
shipment of ,0C0 or 800, coo pounds of
fall New Mexico, aud several smaller lots,
including Il combing, pulled, secured

and prices are being shaded TO move woods.

The Travelling Graphophone.

The latest wrinkle is n man who travels
around with graphophone in one hand
and box OF cylinders and n funnel-like
sound-dispenser in the other. For a
nickel you may have tho latest comic
song or the popular orchestral music OF
the day without leaving your Office or
bench. Twenty-Five cents pays for allow
bilities, the man carrying blank cv,in-
ders for that purpose. BY that means
you may talk back TO yourself, and it's
lots of fun. So much, In fact, that the
agent hnds quantities OF people daily
who wish TO part with their quarters.
One man yesterday sang fonr songs into
the machine, paid dollar for The per-
mission and then gave up nickel to hear
tne phonograph repeat the performance.

Over Mt the custom house there is some
one who knows a thing or two about a
commission received by Deputy Sheriff
Thayer. April !. The commission is a
beautiful piece of work, and Is embel-
lished here and there with heals In all
the colors of the rainbow, but no one,
not even a Cnhan, can make out the
picture writing ii contains. The COM
mission is supposed to have come. from
Cuba to Mr.. Thayer, and 1t authorizes
him to gather in recruits for Cuba. The
letter that accompanied the commission
states that Sassafrass Point might be used
ss a camp ground, and that the sender
had no doubt the deputy sheriff had In
fluence with the State government suffi-
cient to secure II as recruiting station
free of all cost. The letter also gives the
names of several Grand Army men IL is
thought could and woIld DO first class
service at Cuba. The recipient of the
comm ission has not yet opened recruit
ing office, and probably will not do so as
long as the present session OF the Supreme
Court continues.

Wednesday he went to the polls early,
rs usual, and voted. Then, being a man
of considerable leisure, he remained
about the ward room gossiping with
friends and acquaintances and making
various predictions as 10 the result of the
days battle. Finally one OF his friends
said, swell, Bill, 1 suppose you voted
a straight ticket this time as usual?''
"rhat l DID," was the rejoinder, 81
never voted anything else in my life, and
when they come TO count my ballot they
can't make any mistake about who /
want elected. They won't be able to say
that ballot is defective even II they want
bigger SS SaS 9u made ns the crosses
plain enough, but you know how those
fellows do things sometimes. They'll
throw out ballot on the slightest pretext'
that the intention OF the voter isn't plain.
Well they won't throw out mine,
for after / put the crosses
against the names took my pencil ana
candidate on the ticket.' And that man
went away hugging the fond delusion
that his ballot would be counted.
The other story is about man in the
Fifth. He Is very methodicsi and PAINS
taking In everything he does, and his
hobis Us ~ ucudiil uu-
questionably led TO the throwing out of
the ballot he cast Wednesday as defective.
According to the story he told some of
his friends yesterday, the ballot bot thered
him little, because In the way IL was
folded, he skipped and did not put a
cross after the names of his candidates
that came last on the list. nor did he
find the license question. ihe trouble
was he did not unfold the whole OF the
ballot. He discovered this while on his
way 10 the ballot box. went back to the
compartment and marked the missing
name and the license question also. Then
to be certain he had made no mistake
this time he went through the entire list,
checking of the name Of every candi-
date for whom he had voted, leaving n
very prominent cheek mark after each.
lnssmuch as any mark except the cross
invaiidates n ballot this excessive care on
the part Of the Fifth Ward man has cost
him his vote.

4 LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS.

Tuesday last Mr.. Charles Chandler
obtained a license from the Register
of Deeds and that evening VAS mar
ried to Miss Nantla Metts. While the
Register was in the act OF filing up
the necessary papers NJ. {. Metts, the
irate father OF the prospective bride,
rushed into the Office and protested
against the issuing of the license for
the marriage Of his daughter upon the
ground that she was under age. The
Register has been young himself and
knows how it is when young people
want to marry. So, despite the pro-
tests of the angry father, the license
was issued and the marriage took
place with as little delay as possible.
Wednesday the Register was called
upon 10 plead TO a suit for 5000 brought
before Justice ID. c. Gunter. The trial
began Old man Metts went upon the
stand and swore that his daughter
was born in December, 1878, but later
all concerned became convinced that
the unhappy father was mistaken and
that the birth occurred in 1877 instead
Of 1875 hereupon the plaintiff took
a non-suit and thus banished the old
mans hopes Of Furnishing the officer.
Mr. and Mrs Chandler were on
hand, as smiling and happy as two big
sun-howers. delighted with the con-
soling thought that the father might
yank from w W. Woods $500 Of filthy
lucre. but be conldn't disturb their
matrimonial bliss.
