West Concord.

Remember our townsman, X. l.. Brig
ham, is always ready to do all kinds of
custom work, in an efficient manner. At
this season his speciality seems to be the
manufacture of sugar utensils, prepara-
tory to the spring. He is now busy upon
an order from one of his customers for
five hundred ten pound cans Inequality
of the material used, and their thorough
manufacture, makes them greatly SUI
perior to much of such ware upon the
market. They can be readily sealed, and
their shape will admit of them being
easily packed for transportation. The
work is so thorough the sugar can but
retain its flavor for years. The price is
also reasonable for the quality of the
goods. Send in your orders now, and
save rush for storage room, after the
sugar season has commenced.
Holiday goods are as usual great at.
traction for young and old. 1t would
seem every reasonable desire might be
gratified at our various stores. O. b
Cuttings new bargain tree attracts
much merited attention, jeweler Moody
has fine stock, Henry Randall offers
special sales at the harness shop, the
milliners are prepared with tempting
variety, while the dry goods stores Offer
a desirable assortment.
The selectmen have been under sever,
criticism for the past few days, for es
tablishing town liquor agency. A larg
petition was presented the county com
missioner, signed by legal voters of tn
town. To be sure the names Of a larg
portion of our best citizens were conspic
uous by their absence, but no movement
of any kind being made for remon
STRANGE, the commissioner seemed to hav
no alternative but to issue license, ant
as majority of the selectmen tavore
the movement, the name of A. ]. Lyo
was presented the commissioner and h
has been appointed liquor agent. Will
he retains the Office he intends to compl
strictly to the law. The agency will b
open during the day and closed at nigh
and over the Sabbath. Mr.. Lyon expect
to be located at West Concord villaG
soon.

Editor of HERALD AS you like to get
important news have concluded to send
you an item. The wise men of Concord
have decided that it was going to be
great benefit to the town to open Rum
Shop. One of their reasons for it is to
get money to pay town indebtedness; ;
another is to prevent public houses from
reaping harvest from the sale of liquors
and another is so that they can get it
for medical use. The bad cold that will
require liquor to cure will last most of
them the year round. A. J. Lyon is APP

that you need it for medicine. The bigger

Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, April 15.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool market: There has been a notable
increase in activity the past week. accom-
panied In some cases by highe quotations
A prominent feature of the market is that
many dealers report very little wool which
they can offer for sale. The lessened actiy-
ity is due partly to this fact and partly to
the fact that manufacturers have been re-
duced to state Of great uncertainty by
conflicting news from Washington, and
are consequently acting In a very conser-
vative manner as regards their enlarge
ments of the raw material. The most
striking feature has been the great activity
of wool in foreign markets as compared
with domestic, "a per cent of the total
sales in Boston for the week being for
eign wool. The imports OF wool the past
week have been enormous, amounting to
Ill bales which, If we reckon only 400
pounds to the bale. represents $4,000, 900
pounds.
Prices are extremely firm In all kinds of
wool, the advance in B supers being par
ticularly noticeable. Very good sales of
Australian, South American cross-bred and
Montevideo woods are reported. The move
ment of territory has been light, and fleeces
have been sold In 2 limited way. Sales in
Boston for the week aggregate 6,999, 900
1,S2O0OO pounds being domestic and 5,179,-
900 pounds foreign.

ticability, but also their economy.

ON CHANGE .
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, April 15.-Proceedings were
rather dull on the stock exchange today.
and values dropped almost without excep-
tioi nor cessation. The situation abroad
dominated the general tone of the deal
ings. The fact that there would be no moro
more trading on the London exchange until
next Tuesday probably restricted any de-
mand and influenced the minds of the timid
ones there to realize profits as much as
possible and to unload any holdings that
seemed in danger from possible develop
ments in the Graeco-Turkish relations
Consols were down in London, and there
was uneasiness apparent over the waning
OF tho accord Of the powers on the eastern
question. The London market also suf-
fered from the decentralization In Kafiirs
and whispers of financial difficulties of a
large operator In those properties; The de-
preston thus caused was reflected here
most obviously. as was natural In the
stocks held largely abroad, which showed
marked declines. Any firmness in these
by heavy selling from London, the days
sales for London account being estimated
at 25.O00 shares There was considerable
reaiizing here also on the ground that the
short trading day, and likely to be dull in
consequence. The heaviness in New York
central was very noticeable in view Of the
IA large e hopes Of q stimulus to the whole
ing scheme, first officially announced yes
terday. The extension Of the issue beyond
the needs Of the refunding gives rise to the

CHICAGO MARKETS.
The Days Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, April 15.-There was but one
speculative market on the board today
That was wheat and bull spectators had
1t all their own way for time. Nothing
could Withdraw the attention of the spec
ulators from the marshaled phalanx Of
bullish market conditions which presented
themselves. Higher foreign markets, mod
crate northwestern receipts and confirma-
tion OF heavy days export business at
the seaboard were good grounds OF them
selves for q brisk jump In price at the
start but added to the calamitous report
from Springfield, ILL.,, regarding the winter
wheat crop Of the state which made the
rather startling statement that not more
than enough wheat for seed will be har-
vested in Illinois this season. The only SUR
prise Is that the first transaction did not
show an advance of Q or. 3 cents, instead Of
from V to xc. Opening sales Of May were
from ssH H@ssH, against yesterdsy's closing
price Of 6SK. and the scramble to cover
which set In from every quarter had sent
price by II o'clock to 6Dx. with but one or
two trifiing halts. Chicago received 10 cars
OF wheat, Minneapolis and Duluth, III. A
week ago the two latter cities got "a cars
and Z year ago they received 80: The
amount Of export business reported done
ck New York yesterday was 464 900 bushels.
