THE WOOL TRADE.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says of the wool trade: .t.
To outward appearance, the market showed
some falling off in activity the past week, but
il should be remarked that there is very good
reason to believe that great deal Of very
quiet trading in wool Is now going on, the
aim of all concerned being 10 keep the facts
from the public to the greatest extent pos
sible. The features which we give for the
weeks transactions represent wool which has
been sold 10 bo taken out Of the market, and
do not Include trades between dealers. While
the volume Of business for the last six days
seems small in comparison with .hel figures
which were given for previous weeks, il never
theless shines by comparison with the corre-
sponding week of last year, and may be said
TO be fully up TO what has usually been con-
sdered normal aggregate.
Holders OF wool are not showing the slight
est disposition 10 shade prices. At slight con-
cessons very large sales could,be made. II is
reported that large New England manufac-
turer made a bid on about 100000 pounds Of
domestic wool the last week TO a well known
Boston house, but half cent pound stood
in the way of his getting the article. Terrific
ries and Australian have received liberal at
tentioE particularly the former. There is a
very fair demand for pulled and secured
wools, domestic secured moving generally
above 3oc. Stocks of Capes in Boston market
are at present very light.
Sales in Boston, New York and Philadelphia
for the week aggregate : 800, 500 pounds, 5,li9,
800 being domestic and 2,si9 200 foreign. Sales
since January ], SO, lG5 800 pounds, as compar-
cd with is, ,36S, 40 pounds last year.

summoned the members Of the depart

quickly put out. Then the fircmen render
ed efficient help to those already at work
in the removal of the bodies and the
caring for the injured. 1t is thought the
explosion was caused by IA defective cleo
tric wire which ignitcd the escaping gas
from one Of the network OF pipes un-
earthcd In the process of constructing the
subway at this point.
At the time of the explosion there were
about l5 men working fixing the gas

crowded by pedestrians. Suddenly terrific

Governor Griggs last week appointed two
committees to codify the laws of the State,
that is to put them in convenient form for
lawyers. There are seventeen of these
lawyers, all of whom will receive good fat
fee for their services. Persons acquainted
with the personnel of these committees
assert that they are discreditably partisan,
and ridiculously below the possibilities of
the bar Of the State. The Governor is one
of those who believe that advertising the
laws in the newspapers for the benefit of
all the people is useless expense, but he
is also of the opinion that any job that he
can hatch for the benefit of lawyers, to
make their work easy, but not to effect
their fees, is wise expenditure. Great
mind, has this Governor.

The proposed duty on borax of four cents
a pound is equivalent to an ad-valorem rate
of AIS per cent. This tax is to be levied in
the interest of the Pacific Borax Company
a monopoly largely controlled by English
investors; and as the amount of borax
annually used in the Uuited States is over
twenty million pounds, it will put great
deal OF money in the pockets of the enter
prising stockholders of that corporation.
The duty, however, may lead the washer
women of this country to take an interest
in politics, as those of Paris haye done on
more than one memorable occasion IF they
were only taxed half as much, it would
more than pay all the wages these borax-
makers expend in this country all the year

One of the best cotton experts in the
country, Alfred B. Shepperson, writes in
Textile America that the twenty per cent
duty on raw cotton must prove positive
injury to the cotton manufacturing industry
and can be of no benefit to any class of
growers. Neither the Egyptian nor Peru
sian staple, against which the duty is di-
rected, completes with the Sea Island cotton
as supposed. Each one of these varieties of
the fibre, he says, has peculiar use to
which the others are not adapted The
only effect of the duty can be to tax the
particular manufacturers engaged on
foreign cotton without increasing the de-
mand for or price of Sea Island cotton.

A break in Bicycle prices was in
evitable. Selling two Continentals
for the price of one Monarch, OF
which it was the equal in all respects
except a gilt name-plate, gradually
opened peoples eyes. Throw

plate became less and less amusing.
We ordered the Continentals by the
thousand and insisted on highest
standards of quality and finish.
They made their way and are hold
ing their place because the wheels
are sold at their actual value, lop-
ping off all extras consequent to ex-
elusive agencies.
