Reed Will Be Speaker Again.

Congressman Grosvenor disposes Of
the silly talk in regard to Speaker
Reed very effectively when he says:
"Mr. Reed is entitled to the Speaker
ship and I do not know OF anyone
who proposes to contest the matter
with him"
1t Is a favorite occupation in these
post-election days for the Democratic
newspapers TO attempt a diversion by
claiming that Speaker Reed is to have
opposition. In the last few days
there has been an attempt made in
this direction in the hope OF creating
breach between the speaker and the
administration. Congressman Gros-
venor's interview effectually disposes
Of this mischievous story.
The Republican party as a party
honors Speaker Reed and would not
take kindly to any attempt to defeat
him for the reelection he deserves as
speaker of the house. President Nc
Kinley is too wise a statesman TO
court any complications, and it is safe
to say no such course has been con-
mplated.-Ohio State Journal.

Wool.

There is very lie change in the
wool market in Boston. Sales for the
week foot up nearly 100000 pounds,
making a total for the past three
weeks of over 100000 pounds. The
greater part Of the weeks sales was
domestic, most of which goes to man
ufacturers, as did the sales of the pre-
vious two weeks. Territory wools
continue to lead. The larger manu-
faoturers are still buying territory
woods, while smaller manufacturers
are coming into the markets more fire.
quently and are doing something.
Prices are still low. Most Of the bus
iness is being done by a few houses,
and 1t Is said that the bank consolida-
tion scheme has caused some dealers
TO sell rather than attempt to renew
their loans with new banks. Prices
remain as they were last week.-Brad-

That greatest annual display Of
Americas fashion and flnery, the
Horse Show, began in New York City
Monday.
A report says: The entries this
year are far more numerous than they
were last fall and the standard is
high. Every box was sold several
days ago and though there were few
fancy prices paid for choice, the aver
age was high. The promenade the
favorite place of those who wish to
zee and be seen, has been broadened
to accommodate those who prefer it to
a seat in the galleries. The widening
of the walk has cut down the tanbark
space somewhat, but as the horse is
the least consideration, the oval is
large enough for him.

Railroad Earnings.

October railroad earnings are the
best since May. Traffic on all lines
has been very heavy, and in spite Of
shaded rates, nearly all roads report
larger earnings than in the very active
month last year. Gross earnings of
all roads in the United States report
ing for the month are $51.S72, ,749, So
per cent. over last year, and so per
cent over 1892. Roads reporting en-
brace nearly 10000 miles of road-one-
half the total mileage of the country
and many leading systems.
