DRY GOODS.

Bradstreets
General operations are yet moderate,
but cotton fabrics are showing more
healthy tone. These goods have met with
better business and on many kinds Of
goods recent sales show marked adj
vance in price Heavy gray goods are
costing more, while light fabrics in the
way of printcloths are also doing better
The large surplus of the latter goods mas
been cleaned up, and buyers are more
anxious to get in their contracts. Printed
fabrics are quiet, and prices ruling are
too low compared with the cost of the
unfinished goods. Ginghams are firm and
in good shape for the coming season
Dress woolens are dull and unsatisfactory.
Spring orders placed are small, and the
season appears to be about over at first
hands Mems wear wOolens are quiet and
conditions are not good.
NEW YORK, December 10.-The upward
movement in print cloths continues, a
further advance of 1-16c being made to-
day. 2S-inch GA squares now 2Ac and other
goods on relative basis The general de-
mand for cotton goods was again consid-
cradle and the weeks business was quite
satisfactory. The tone of the market at
the close was very firm and prices wore a
hardening appearance in most directions
Cotton yarns were more firmly held, but
prices We're only occasionally 1Ac per
pound higher. Wooden goods are steady
in tone but the demand to-day was quiet
in both mems wear fabrics and dress
goods.

WOOL.

The market is showing fair activity as
a whole, and at the lower basis of price
established manufacturers are disposed to
take more wool. The sales IN Boston this
week foot up in excess of 100000 pounds,
of which about 1.5000l pounds were for
eign. These latter woods hold strong in
price and buyers who require supplies
are able to set no concessions. OF the
sales made about 100000 pounds Were
Australian. some of the larger mills hav-
ing taken quite large lots, and are nego-
tiating on other large lines. These woods
are being offered several cents a pound
below the cost to import new supplies,
and every sale made cuts into the avail
able supply here just that amount More
fleece woods have been sold this week,
about 80 0o0 pounds washed clothing and
delaines being taken but mostly on pri-
waite terms which would indicate some
concessions Jnwashed tieeces are selling
fairly. and also pulled woods. Territory
woods are in fair demand, sales including
about /. eco pounds on basis of 20 to 10
cents secured.

LIVE STOCK.

Chicago, December 10.-The cattle
market to-day was little more than a
nominal one. Very few lots were OF
fered and they were disposed OF at
prices unchanged from yeste- day. The
week has been a good one for sellers
of we'll fattened beeves, holiday cattle
bringing high prices. But receipts or
half fat cattle have been much too
large and prices for such lots have
| declined sharply. The market as Il
whole closed in fairly good condition.
There was a good demand for hogs
from Chicago packers and prices ruled
steady, with sales at $3.20@3.40 for
common to choice light and S3.25@
3.45 for poor to prime heavy weights.

than a week ago. Most of the pigs
sold at s3.15@3.3O.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
very light and the market In conse-
uuence was almost nominal. Lambs
were quoted at s350@5.30 for in

1t appears that Europe is about to
adopt Monroe doctrine of their own.
The Paris Figaro of a recent date con-
tanned the following: at is time the
powers took extreme measures to pre-
vent Commodore Watson's dispatch to
Europe and to end the war. Italy, Aus
tria, Russia and especially France have
the greatest interest in reminding the
America to acquire footing in Europe.
The friendly representations of these
four powers at Washington will, it is to
be hoped, enable the United States to
perceive the dangerous course on which
it is en- barking"

Harper's Weekly contained the fol-
lowing regarding the "Rough Riders"
VIM. Tudor, 81 Drummer street, Boston,
is collecting funds to supply the Rough
Riders with hammocks, mosquito-net-
ting, abdominal bands, and other re-
quisites to warfare in the tropics. The
Riders come from all parts of the coun-
try, and represent all sorts of folks,
from New York clubmen up to full
blooded Indians. AS they come from
no State in particular, they are no ones
special care, and the only things they
seem absolutely sure of getting in suf-
ficient quantity seems to be ammuni-
tion and advertising. Whoever their
press agent is, there is no disputing his
extraordinary efficiency. But adver-
tising, with ali its virtues, does not take
the place of cholera bands in the trop-
les, and it is we'll that some one is max

the Arkansas Valley in Southern Colo
RADIO Probably the latter field presents
the closest parallel to our conditions
here, as their development has come,
and is now being made, largely from
the storage of surplus water
We are reliably informed that good
farming land in that valley, with water
right sells readily at from $40 to $50
per acre.
In view of the fact that the initial
construction work is now we'll advanced
and of the most substantial character,
it does not seem an exaggeration to es-
innate that within a period of five
years time from the delivery of the
water to the lands around town, which
is expected will not be later than the
coming spring, that Winslow will have
a population more than doub BILE its pres

fact that we cannot expect any large
growth in population or Importance
without the successful carrying for
ward of this or similar enterprise for
the conservation of the surplus waters
and their application for irrigation and
power purposes.
We have given considerable space to
this subject in this issue for the reason
that we believed it of great interest and
importance to all our people; and be-
sides, for the further reason that we are
fully impressed with the belief that the
promoters of the Hay Lake enterprise,
by reason of their investment and the
benefit to be derived by all residents,
and especially all property holders in
this vicinity, merit and should receive
the cordial support of our citizens in
carrying forward the enterprise to
successful conclusion.

Now the goody-goody people are try
ing to explain away the manner in which
"Bucky" ONeill acquired his nickname.
Out upon such rot! It is only by their
foibles that we know our heroes were
human. Some private letters of George
Washington, recently unearthed, which
proved he was fond of horse racing, oc-
casionally went on spree, played a
strong hand at poker, and had repre-
hensible weakness for the fair sex, has
done more to raise him in the estims-
ton of men and women who live on
earth than can be readily described in
words.-The Oasis.

The Arizona Bulletin says: s1t has
been proven beyond a doubt that Bron-
CO Bill and his partner Johnson at
tended dance at Geronimo last week
They spent over. $500 in the town and
purchased FIVE sew suits of clothes and
other articles from j. N. Porter, mer-
chant at that place. Detective Thacker
and posse went through on the 18th,
and unloaded their horses at Thomas
and started for the Black river coun-
try Bronco Bill did most of the dan
cling while Johnson stood watch ar ound
the door. Bill got too much liquor on
board at the dance, and because girl
refused to dance with him, he pulled
both his six-shooters and cleared the
hall. They bought every cartridge in
town that would fit their guns and loft
again for the hills.
