Mr.. Ladue declares that the use OF

DRY GOODS Markets.

New York, Sept. 9o.--The dry goods mar
ket opened quiet today, all lines of goods
showing an apparent reaction from previ-
Gus heavy trading. In cotton goods prints
alone sustained the market rates for two
weeks ago. The demand for wooden goods
on recorders is kept up, and at the ad
vanced prices makes good business from
day 10 day. Jobbers report continued fair
business on the whole. though the demand
is somewhat scattered and unsatisfactory
in its character. Staple cottons show no
change. P1int-cloths sell slowly in all
grades. Extras are still quoted at 25sc.
with a limited demand.

SOME POLITICAL PLUMS
Hanging Ripening on the Administration's
Patronage Tree.


WASHINGTON, March 9.-The term %;
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General
Maxwell will expire to-day. lie was
appointed to succeed L. q. Rathbone, oil
New York. The fourth assistant post
master-general has practically uncon-
trolled power over all the fourth class
postmastcrs, that is to say postmasters
the receipts of whose offices do not
amount to over $1,000 year. He can
remove and appoint at pleasure. For
this reason the officer exercising this
function is usually termed the "heads-
man" of the administration. As the de-
mand for appointment to these small
offices from congressman and others is
very great.and as these places serve as
sort of safety valve to the otfice-seek-
ing pressure. it is expected that the
name of Mr.. Maxwell's successor will,
soon be sent to the senate.
If the president allows the other as
sistant postmaster generals to finish
their four years of term of Office, First
Assistant Jones will remain until May
10, as he succeeded II. Clay Evans on
that date. Second Assistant Nelson
succeeded j. Lowrie Bell, who resigned
on September 10, 1898, and Kerr Craige,
the third assistant, succeeded Gen. lIa-
zen on May 10, 1898.
