Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The market for dry
goods is subject to irregular conditions which
keep sellers guessing to the future. A week
ago the conditions pointed TO heavy fall trade,
but to-day sellers are more retieent about
pressing themselves The market is only fairly
active in general lines. Government contracts
continue to be factors in both the wooden and
cotton goods markets. Jobbers report irregular
results. The more fancy goods divisions doing
fair business but staples quiet with few
exceptions. Quiet drives and special prices serve
would be little activity to report. At first hands
staple cotton goods outside OF those sold for ex-
port quiet. Wide sheetings show considerable
strength and have been advanced in some quar-
tiers. Stocks generally not heavy Print
cloths are strong and quiet. Extras still
quoted nominally at l 15-l6c.

An Ambition.

The person to be envied most
In this eventful life
Is not the one who counts his gains
Afar from storm and strife:
Nor yet the potentate who wears
A crown upon his brow:
II is the man who stands around
And tells the others how.
And If the project finds success, -,
The benefit he'll share;
And IL il fail, he'll simply say
Twas none Of his affair.
He joins the triumph every time
And lodges every row.
The man who simply stands around II
And tells the others how.
/ would not be warrior great
Nor hold a sceptered sway:
I would not be bard TO wake .,
Emotions grave or gay. s.
II fate would graciously consent
My choosing to allow.
I'd be the man who stands around
And tells the others how.

Claim Agents in Convention.

The Railway Claim Agents Association of
the United States yesterday began it's ninth
annual convention in this city. The mem
bers are from all parts of the country, and
some were late in arriving, consequently
but little except preliminary work was done
yesterday, and the real work of the conven-
ton Will begin at 8 a. m to-day. At the
close Of the session last evening, which was
followed by banquet at the Denison
House, 1t was shown that sixty-two dele
gates were present. During the afternoon,
there being little doing except committee
work, many of the delegates took hacks or
bicycles and rode over the principal streets
OF the, city. expressing themselves as well
pleased w1ths what they saw. At the BAN

THE SCALPERS' TROUBLES
BAFFLED IN GETTING REBATES ON
INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE.
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers Settles Disturbing Questions
5A Meeting of Claim Agents.

For some time past the local ticket scalp
ers have been Boosting Of having outgen-
eraled the Central Passenger Association,
they being able to handle the interchange
able mileage now as readily as any former
mileage. One of the local scalpers boosted
of having over fifty of these books out and
that they were handling them safely, not
withstanding the iron-clad features of the
book. but it has come to light that most of
these books were sold to scalpers by agents
of the Central Traffic Passenger Associa-
ton, and as they are sent in for rebate
neither the cover nor the $40 rebate comes
back, as the association has ample proof
that such Interchangeable mileage was not
used by the proper persons named in the
transaction, consequently the scalper is out
his $40 rebate and has no recourse. How
many of the books the scalpers hold have
been purchased from a detective of the
association will not be known until the
books are sent in for the rebate

ed to 81, 1874, 9S2, against 81 1864, $40 for

an increase of $770, 112." A decrease
OF so per cent in imports and an in
crease of 40 per cent in exports in eX-
ports is pretty good record which the
new tariff law thus makes in single
instance.
There is good IDEAL of other evid.
ence to show the admirable working Of
the law. For example, it was claimed
on its enactment that the price OF
shoes was bound to go up, but, while
dealers report larger sales than ever
prices were never so low. Protection
has stimulated the silk industry in 9
most gratifying manner. AS fine
silk as can anywhere be produced il
now made in the United
States and is sold at q remark ably low
rate. During the first half year of the
Dingley law the importations of silk
were so per cent. lower that during
the corresponding six months of the
preceding year. In the meantime
the country's exports trade steadily
increases. and American manufactur
ers continue to gain in standing
throughout the world. There is nc
longer any doubt as to the satisfactory
operations of the law.-Albany 80

A Matter of Business
Houston Post.

The sea island cotton planters over
failed to get into the Dipgley protec-
tion bill have been attempting to in
fuence congress to allow protection to
their product under the "wsr tariff
measure. 1t is said, however, that
they have been informed that only in
ternal revenue taxes would be imposed
by the emergency bill.
It has before been pointed out that q
tariff on Egyptian cotton would ixely
result in no good to our sea island cot
ton growers. The Egyptian article, it
seems, must be had for the finer manu-
features whatever its cost, and tax
would only produce higher prices to
the consumer without materially in.
creasing the demand for the home
grade of the raw product. It would be
to burden the public with q costlier
class of goods without benefitipg even
the few sea island planters.
Under these circumstances the
Charleston News and Courier Civ these
planters some practical advice. It tells
them to direct their energies into
other than congressional channels and
to try by united and persistent effort to
organize some form of ma nufacture, as
of sewing thread, for example, which
will consume their limited crop al
home and make it Independent of out.
g de markets and influence.
There is q suggestion here, also, for
other aericulturIsss whose raw pro-
ducts are not paying. 1t will general
ly be found that the manufactured art.
icles of such products are showing q
profit and in that case "the united and
persistent" efforts of q community OF
farmers should be directed to the Or
gar ization of a home factory that
| woulu consume their crop and 'smake
them independent of outside markets.
