commercial and mills stock unusually
large, or manufacturing were more
successful, early recovery might seem
probable. but the heavy fail in ma
terial has affected the demand for
goods, causing buyers to except still
lower prices for them, although after
the decline of last week goods now
average lower than ever before.
While the stagnation in wool con-
tlnues with sales even smaller than in
the same month of the panic year 1898,
numerous mills have started temper
arily in order to get out sample pieces.
There has been no quotable decline in
wool, and scarcely amy in goods. the
recent reduction having stimulated a
larger demand.
The demand for boots and shoes
seems a little better, and recorded

True. Taking the Sentinel on
that basis it also does not follow
that because the democratic
populistic nominee made a good
druggist while he. was in that
business that he would make q
good governor. Now in favor Of
Mr.. Fancher can he said that he
has shown by his past experience
that he is q capable and efficient
