Fair Demand for Fleece.

The annual demand for sheep and lambs
to shear Is gradually springing up. Every
year at this season there is an inquiry for
such stock as buyers think will return them
profit by sending them to nearby points to
be relieved of their wool and fed for linz
Tied period. So far but few shipments of
this kind have been made. and until pros
poets get brighter 1t is not likely that the
demand will become very strong. The present
price of wool is fairly good, and 1t is highly
probable that more than the usual percentage
of sheep raisers who have facilities for shear
ing will send to market this spring the
sheep and their feeces in separate consign-
ments.
Had Months for Range Cattle.
March and April are months in which Sc
we're losses are sometimes sustained in the
Western cattle range country, especially after
severe weather has weakened the cattle.
However, there are only isolated spots where
cattle were not in exceptionally fine fix a
month ago. and they were able to stand
the February freeze much better than ex-
pected
Few Choice Cattle.
After all the talk about the unprofit able
ness Of shipping to market cattle that are poor
in quality and only half fat, the supply keeps
coming unchecked. Whatever may be the
impelling force that is urging shippers to
send in stock of the quality that has been
coming for the past month, it seems fairly
clear to those in close touch with both sides
of the trade that it would be decidedly more
profitable to feed to better finish The for
eign markets have shown quite a substantial
advance lately, which is likely to encourage
stronger export demand. Just at present it
would be hard to get enough choice, well
finished cattle to satisfy very extensive Or

A Surprise In Florida.
Recently, when flock of $50 sheep was
driven through town in Florida it attracted
great deal Of attention There are very few
sheep raised in Florida, farmers taking more
naturally to cotton than to wool. But there
is no good reason why sheep should not do

Good Chances In Cuba.
The opportunities for stock raising are bet
ter nowhere than in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The long-continued Spanish war with the Gu
bans thoroughly impoverished and reduced the
supply of catt-e to very low point. The
quality of the Cuban cattle was bad to start
with, and has never been improved by the
ind0lent natives. Splenetic fever Is as prev

Matthew Marshall, the well-known
financial writer of the New York Sun,
sounds this note of warning in his
weekly letter:
The work of creating large industrial cor
porations by the consolidation OF smaller ones
goes or apace and has extended to the con-
soHdatton of previous consultations into new
and greater ones-the latest example being
the fusion of the American Tobacco company
with the Union Tobacco company. In the iron
and steel trade the wrought-iron tube max
ers have formed company with $50 OOO, 600
capital which has about exhausted all the
possibilities of that line of industry
Companies are also in course of formation
for absorbing the business of Havana cigars
and cigarette making, of canning salmon. of
brewing vinegar. of preparing chewing gum
and even of supplying burial caskets, besides
various other combinations arranged and to
be arranged. All this suggests the fear that
the movement is being carried too far.
Nature has set limits to the process
which cannot be transgressed without incur
ring disaster.

N;caraguan Canal Prospects.

The present Nicaraguan commission
will. doubtless, be entrusted by Pres
ident Mckinley with the management
of canal interests. The commission
consists Of Admiral Walker, of the
navy; Col. Haines, of the army, and
Prof. Haupt. of Pennsylvania There
have already been nine surveys made
by the government and citizens of the
United States, and by this time the
route Is quite familiar. So far no plans
have been adopted. although Admiral
Walker has recently had interviews
with the president and Secretary of
State Hay.
1t will be necessary. as prelimi-
nary, for the United States to open ne
gotiations with both Costa Rica and
Nicaragua. 1t is considered a shrewd
move on the part of the conference
committee that had charge of the bill
to include the Panama route in the
compromise amendment. 1t will be
easier, it is believed. to make terms
with Nicaragua under such conditions
than it would have been otherwise,

Democratic Endorsement of Quay

The United States Attorney General
Should Act.
There is disposition In some quarters to
criticise the state of New Jersey-or the in
habitants thereOf-because the revenues of
the commonwealth are derived almost entirely
from the trusts organized under the. benevO-
lent laws Of the state. The criticism is not
sound. In the first place the Jerseymen
might reply. with that king Of England who
took toll of harlotry,, that all money smells
alike. But there is a better answer The
trusts couldn't exist if the attorney general
OF the United States performed his duty The
license they derive from. the state of New
Jersey is purely nominal Their real protec-
ton Is in the federal department of Justice.

RICH DRESS MATERIALS.
Vet+@ts Are the Most Expensive of
staple Goods, But Laccs the
COstliest of ALL.

The costliest of what might be de-
scribed as staple dress goods are vel
vets. Fine silk velvets, in black and
in colors, for reception, dinner and
evening gowns sell in regular widths
up to SIS yard, and in velvet of extra
widths as high as $50. The velvets sold
oftenest for dress goods are those at
prices under ten dollars a yard.
The costliest of fancy fabrics are sat
in ground brooches, a satin fabric in
white or in some light color, with en-
BASED velvet figures, in various col
ors, and in floral and in geometrical de-
signs. The broche satins arc made for
evening wear. They are produced in
great variety and many of them are
of great beauty. Made 81 inches in
width they sell through wide range
wider satins and velvet brooches, i'm
ported in dress patterns that arc cost
lier still. These goods in patterns from
seven to eight pards each, with pink,
hcliotrope, blue and other grounds, but
single pattern in a shade or color, inn
ported, are sold at $3.50 dress pat
tern.
But the most x,;ensive of dress ma
terials is lace. Point lace founce, 40
inches wide, for gowns, is sold at prices
ranging up to 1925 yard, four yards
being required for a skirt. The same
lace could be used for the waist, in
which case two yards more would be
required; but oftener there is sold for
the waist and sleeves an all-over lace
to match the flounce. This, in a lace
from IS to % inches in width, to match
the flounce at $125 yard, would cost
$50 yard
1t will be borne in mind that these
prices represent the cost simply of the
material for the gown, without Innings
of trimmings or making up. What the
finished gown would cost might de-
pend on variety of considerat ions A
gown of satin and velvet broche costing
say $3.50 yard might cost completed
$500 or $500. A gown from any fthese
materials would obviously be costly

among the most select fashions of the
moment, which have not become gen

on either side of the brim falling on the
hair at the back, starting from paste

straw mingle in the same hats, cs-
pecially in greens and mauves. and
there are many new colors; pink that
tones into brown. q blue with close
affinity to green and mauve that
might be magenta. Lavender and slate
color are mingled, and wings are
placed under the brims as much as
over. Black is worked in white chen

grettes are covered with jet, but a pink
rose finds its way somewhere in most
millinery models.-Washingt Star.
