ADVANCE IN WOOL.
Business Takes on New Life on Both
Sides of the Water.

London, Sept. 2O.-The advance in the
price of wool yesterday was not unex-
pected and not unWelcome. The manu-
facturers in several branches awaited
the advance as an excuse for issuing
circulars announcing a rise in prices.
These are not the only indications of
activity in the industry. The mills in
the west country are mostly fully en-
plOyed and from America come stories
of a revival of trade Conservative men
say there is not only greater activity
noticed, but that it is the beginning of
another big movement in wool, conse-
quent upon the increase in value. Some
of the biggest concerns in the United
States have been buying largely for i'm
mediate use of their mills, which are
now very busy and it is expected that
business will speedily expand.

Grant Harrington, editor of the Hia-

John Breidenthal could secure the Pop
ulist nomination for governor if he
wanted it.
'Breidenthal will not be nominated
if he stands back and demands the
nomination by acclamation,'' said Mr..
Harrington. IF Breidenthal is beaten
he will beat himself. He must not,
like Leedy, get bigger than his party.

tor Cornell has begun quo warrantO
proceedings in the supreme court to
prevent Governor POynter from acting
as head of the state insurance depart

appear for the governor, leaning, it is
