DRY GOODS.

New York, March 5.-At the close OF
the weeks operations the situation IN
cotton goods is about where it was at
the opening-that print cloths are
slightly weaker. Bids for extras az
Fall River are made at 21sc, which
meet with no results as yet. But man
ufacturers, it is thought, will sell a
few spots at this figure next week.
The sales have been light in both eX-
tras and odds and the stock has IN
creased during the week. In staple
cottons tie local market is quiet in
all grades. The week in woolens has
also been a quiet one. Mems wear
fabrics are only purchased in odds and
ends.
Bradstreet's
Trade is quiet in most departments, but
conditions are fairly steady. Cotton goods
maintain fair strength, particularly me
dunn count. fine-yarn fabrics, winch are
mostly affected by the labor troubles
Print cloths have ruled rather easier for
more attention. Raw cotton has generally
ruled firmer. Printed fabrics are going
steadily into use. while the demand for
ginghams is better than for several years.
All leading makes of ginghams are largely
sold ahead. Dress woolenS are quiet, but
samples for fall are being shown in some
instances and moderate orders placed
The spring business is about all in with
first hands and is Disappointing. Men s.
wear wooenS are quiet, but the mills
have generally booked very good orders
for fall.

Chicago, March 5.-No material
change was noted in wheat at the
opening to-day. A decrease of 1900
600 was anticipated in the visible sup
ply for next Monday, but as rule the
news was OF a character to make trad
ers bearish. Argentine shipments to
date, $4,000 bushels, and the re-
ported engagement by Armour Of 900
cars for shipment Of wheat from Min
neapolis to Chicago was taken by trad
ers to indicate repetition of the grain
movement of last December. The
bearishness created by this was IN
creased by the weakness shown by New
York and prices gradually declined, re-
covering subsequently on a small COW
ering movement. Trading as whole,
however, was very dull and confined
principally to the July delivery. North
west receipts were only moderate.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 252
cars, compared with 1870 last week
and 327 year ago. Chicago received
"A cars, II of which were of contract
quality Liverpool was easier, cables
reporting a decline of Esd. The ONO
crop report which made the condition
33 per cent. below the average, had
steadying effect on the market, but
this influence was short lived, as most
of the news at hand favored the bears
and the crop reports were generally
good. The weather was reported per-
feet throughout the wheat belt, espe-
cially favorable to growing crops.
Corn was fairly active and easy. There
was some pressure to sell large lines
with poor buying demand. and the
market, though showing steadiness at
the start, soon sold off. Oats were
quiet and easier with corn. There was
no special feature in trading, opera
lions being confined mostly to scalp
ers. Provisions were weak. There
was continued selling by the interests
prominent Of late and lower prices at
the yards materially aided the weak
ness.

Good Advice to Boys.

You are learning trade. That is a
good thing to have. 1t is better than
gold. Brings always premium. But to
bring premium, the trade must be per-
fect-no silver plated affair When you
90 to learn trade, do so with determine
ton to win. Make up your mind what
you will be, and be it. Determine in
your own mind to be good workman.
Have pluck and patience. Look out
for the interests of your employer-thus
you will learn to look out for your own
Do not wait to be told everything. Re-
member Act as though you wish to
learn If you have an errand to do, start
off like boy with some life Look about
you See how the best workman in the
shop does, and copy after him. Learn to
do things we'll Whatever is worth doing
at all is worth doing well. Never slight
your work. Every job you do is sign.
If you have done one in ten minutes, see
if you cannot do the next in nine Too
many boys spoil lifetime by not having
patience. They work at trade until they
see about one-half of its mysteries and
then strike for higher wages. Act as if
your own interest and the interest of your
employer were the same. Good mechan-
les are the props of society. They are
those who stick to their trades until they
learn them. People always speak well of
boy who minds his own business, who is
willing to work and who seems disposed to
be somebody in time Learn the whole
of your trade

Combustible Combs.

\ new comb for fastening the hair of
ladies has drawn from the London Lancet
ii strong condemnatory article, because Of
its construction and composition.
according to our medical contemporary,
says the London Daily Mail this latest
help to feminine adornment is made of
celluloid or other highly and easily inham-
mable substance and is hinged in the cen
tire, 50 that combs clamp the back hair on
each side. and the teeth overlap amid the
treSSes.
After emphasizing the difficulty in rap
idly diSengaging this comb should it take
fire, the journal states that it is in duty
bound to issue a not uncertain note of
warning as to the dangerous and combusti-
bic properties Of its composition An in
stance is quoted Of the comb taking fire
while fixed in the hair, owing to the touch
of pair of hot curling tongs and this is
confirmed by the results of experiments
made. 1t was found that when one of
these combs is detached from the hair it
may be readily ignited but that the COM
bustion does not proceed far. When the
article is placed in the hair. however. and
ignited, combustion proceeds at IA most
alarming rate, aided, it is surmised, by the
on-conducting property of the hair con-
centratinS the heat.
In conclusion, the Indictment expresses
strong opinion that such infammable
substances as celluloid are utterly insult
able for ornamental or useful purposes on
the person, since they expose the wearer
to such serious risks.
On the other hand, manufacturers of
celluloid articles assert that the danger is
grossly exaggerated.

From the Wheeling Register, April u.
One of the most notable of the many
wedding ceremonies which have been per-
formed since Easter, was that which united

Waterhouse, and Mr. Wade Fl. Warfeld,
a prominent wholesale lumber dealer in

and Mrs. Waterhouse, on South Chapline
street. was handsomely adorned for the
occasion. The parlors were transformed
into IA veritable conservatory, with potted
palms and exotics, and cut and potted
flowers. The decorations in the dining
room were made on the same lavish scale.
In the center of the parlor was Il canopy
composed of smilax and maidens hair.
roses and carnations The invitations to
the ceremony were limited to near rela-
tives and intimate friends of the principals.
Promptly at eight o clock the wedding

rythmic strains of the Lohengrn march; ;
executed upon the piano by Prof. Charles
KiIlmver. The bride leaned upon the

der the floral canopy, the happy pair were

season was spent in dancing, after which
the guests repaired to the dining room and
partook of Sumptuous spread prepared
by Mrs. Ziegenfelder. Mr.. and Mrs.

Playing Politics in the Face of War.

In speaking of the revenue bill to meet
war expenses, the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun writes under
date OF April "a
In connection with any proposition to
increase internal taxation will be renewed
the attempt to impose an income tax not
withstanding the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States The income
tax will doubtless fail, but the prospect of
an early passage Of the general revenue
measure is rendered extremely doubtful
by the position already assumed by the
silver men.
For some of the opposition to the meas
ure now pending in the House the Repub
lcans are responsible. They have studi-
ously avoided any consultation with the
Democratic members regarding the provi-
sions of the bill and have absolutely ig-
nored both the views and wishes of the
latter. They have given to bill which
at this juncture should be absolutely non
partisan and non political the appearance
Of political measure, and have borne
themselves in manner to Justify the as
sertion made by General Grosvenor, but
afterwards withdrawn, that the war is to
be Republican war. In the House,
where the Republicans have absolute con-
troll, they can assume this position with
impunity, but the resentment of House
members is reflected in the Senate, and
there can be little question that the
chances of early legislation have been in
jured by the course Of the Republicans in
the House.
WILL NOT SUBMIT TO COERCION.
IF it were the intention Of the ways and
means committee merely to place sufficient
revenue in the treasury to guarantee the
payment of such obligations as the war
preparations have made necessary, there
would have been little trouble probably in
reaching an agreement The Democrats
in neither House, however, are ready to
submit willingly to coercion by the Repub
lican leaders and are already up in arms.
Representative McMillin, one of the Demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee said to representative of the
Sun :
''We have no desire to cause contention
and are anxious to give the administration
our undivided support in everything per-
tanning to the conflict between this gov
eminent and that of Spain. But the Re-
publicans are not willing to drop politics,
and they force the Democrats into an at
titude Of opposition, which, under existing
conditions. we would be willing to avoid.

WHEN PAPA WAS A BOY.

"When papa was little hoy
You really couldn't find
mali the State of Washin ston
A child so quick of mimi.
His mother never called lat once,
And pa was always there:
He never made the baby cry,
Or pulled his sisters hair
He never slid down banisters,
Or made the slightest noise;
And never in his life was known
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard at school,
And got his lessons right;
And chopping wood and milking COWS
We're papa's chief delight.
HE always rose at six o'clock
And went to bed at eight,
And never lay abed till noon
And never sat up late.
He finished Latin, French and Greek
When he was ten years old,
And knew the Spanish alphabet
As soon as he was told.
lie never SIuiuDlCN W nth l'S nav
To do the evening chores.
And ne'er in all his life forgot
To shut the stable doors.
lie never, never thought of play
Until his work was done,
He labored hard from break of day
Until the set of sun.
'He never scraped his muddy shoes
Upon the parlor floor,
And never answered back his ma.
And never banged the door
But truly, could never sse.
Said little Dick Malloy,
How he could never do these things,
And really be boy
