WOOL MARKETS.

Boston, April l5.-Ihe American WOOL
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
The sales Of wool in the principal mar
kets during the week under review have
amounted to 3.273,OO0 pounds, of which
1,736,0O pounds were foreign This is the
largest aggregate of any recent week, but
the increase is mainly foreign stocks.
The demand for domestic wool at date is
comparatively slight, the future export
movement of domestic wool to England
and Belgium has been a noticeable Incl
dent of the week. If this movement de-
velops considerable proportions in the
near future, the moral effect upon the
domestic market situation must be pro-
nounced. The feeling that a possible out
let exists for the large stocks held at TINS
time will have a measurably good erect
in restoring confidence.

II Won believe the chief arithmetician
Of Governor Mckinley. he has already

next month at ST. Louis TO nominate
a Republican candidate for the presi-
dency. 1t is not certain that he has,
but it Is admitted that he has more
than any Of his present competitors. lie,
therefore, Of all men, ought to be out
spoken on the main issue OF this great
contest. There ought not 10 be a
shadow of doubt as TO his opinions and
convictions Is there. or is there not?
When we ask that question We are met
on the threshold by difficulty. There
is no recent, known. recorded, authori-
tatiye declaration by Governor Mckin-
ley himself which entities anybody 10
say that he Is for the gold standard or
for free coinage Of silver at the ratio OF
IS to We are referred, first, of all, 10
his record. We decline 10 accept that
reference No doubt. IL is true. that Mr..
Mckinley in 1877 voted under the lead OF
"Snver Dick" Bland Of Missouri. for
free coinage. No doubt he voted for the
silver-purchase act Of 1890 No doubt
he has said in time past; 81 want the
double standard" No doubt he has
said and done other things well calcu-
lated to shake the confidence OF the bust
ness community in his financial views.
But We want TO know, above all things,
where he stands now, and what he
would do If elected President.
when we ask that we are referred TO
the Republican State conventions which

We'll. il they are all unanimous, that
might be valuable evidence. though not

Oh them stand:
Vermont which week before last broke
away from Mr.. Reed, and gave a fresh
innetus to the Mckinley movement. de-
clared plainly for the gold standard.
California, which Joined the Mckinley
column last Wednesday, declared plainly
for free coinage OF silver at IL TO l.
Illinois, which followed Nermonts lead
on the candidate. held back ON the
platform. and adopted a resolution. which
the silverites interpret in one way. and
everybody else In another. SO did Michl-
gan.
Ohio had already done thu same. and

A Card from Mr.. Dunlop.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The statement Of Mr.. William N. Tur-
pin, president OF the Board Of Alder
men, as reported in to-day's Dispatch
falling TO recite accurately the interview
which took place between him and my
self on April 18th, calls for some correc-
tons at my hands.
Having noticed in the Dispatch Of the
18th ultimo Mr. Snea1's allusion to
changes in the article on Richmond In
the May No. of the Frank Les
lie Popular Monthly made at the sug-
gestion OF some person." and Mr.. Tur-
pins animadversions upon any one who
would give the city a black eye in that
manner, | called on Mr.. Turpin for an
explanation, as | was confident that GER
tain changes had been made in said ar
ticle IN consequence Of an interview which
] had had with the author.

author had agreed TO change or omit, and
another copy showing the paragraphs in
the shape in which they were finally

He at once said that his remarks were
not applicable TO me, and consented TO
write me a note 10 that effect. and to
make a similar statement 10 the Board
Of Aldermen; but added that had Mr.. -

TIE SONGS OF DIXIE.

The Dispatch is, of course, glad TO see
that the Ladies' Committee on Enter
tainments during the Confederate reunion
here have arranged for a Confederate
concert. This, we suppose, Will take
place on the evening OF July I'd. And we
think that Monroe Park would be the
best place for II, inasmuch as the singers
might use the platform which Will be
erected there for the ceremonies incident
TO the Davis monument cornerstone lay
ING. and the location is as central and
convenient as any that could be fixed
upon. Besides, the associations OF the
place are in consonance with the enter
tainment, for it was upon that ground
that the first troops coming here from
the South were encamped. These troops
were South Carollnans, the First Regi-
ment of Infantry Of that State we believe
commanded by Colonel MaXcy Gregg, and
"the old Fair Grounds continued to be a
| camping-ground until the close of the
war. Indeed, after the occupation Of this
city by the Federals. they made use OF
IT. first as a camp and then as a site for a
| military hospital.
We predict that, excepting the parade
on July "a at the cornerstone laying no
| feature connected with the Confederate
reunion here viii be so popular as the
| Confederate concert, where old camp
/ songs will be sung, old marches played
| by the military bands, and where the
/ old rebel yelr will be heard again COM
| ing from between twenty and thirty
! thousand threats.
