WOOL.
Bradstreet's.

Bradstreet's.
The market shows a quiet business do
ing, but values are strong and the outlook
is hopeful. The wooden goods market
will have much influence over the raw
material for some time to come, and the
fact that heavy woolens are opening slow
operates against the present demand for
wool. The London auction sale of wool
opened January II. with fine merinos
quoted at . to ~ per cent. advance, while
above closig rates of last sale. These
strong prices affect woods held here, and
it looks as though American purchases
will have to be made at the sales, in order
to supply the mills with some kinds of
wool that they will need. There is d
brisk inquiry for foreign woods, but light
purchases noted this week. Credits are
being very closely scrutinized. Domestic
woods hold steady. A line of about 10000
pounds Ohio wool was bought in Cleveland
by a Boston house, while about 500, eco
pounds fall wool was recently picked up
by another house in Texas.

One of the most attractive dramas
lately seer in Wheeling will be Hoyt's
Spectacular comedy, "a Milk White
Flag" which will be presented at the
Opera House tonight. Clever men and
handsome women, lavish costumes,
and superb scenic embellishments are
essential features OF this production,
and that it will attract a large audi
ence is al assured fact.
At the Grand Opera House this even
ing will be seen Mr.. Charles Cowles,
the premier Yankee comedian of the
stage, in an elaborate production of
Mckee Rankin's picturesque play, "A
Country Merchant" Few attractions
of the present season will appeal more
strongly to the discriminating theatre
goer. The play is a comedy-drama of
strong heart interest, yet full of delic-
ious and natural humor, of the sort
which springs out of situations and
character rather than from barren wit
ticisms. There are also many musical
and speciality features of refined and
novel nature, and the stage settings
are Photographic in their truth to ma
ture.
That poular comedian, Edward Gil
rard has scored a great success thus
far this season in Donnelly's & Gil
rard's musical comedy Natural Cas-"
which is better written, better cast and
better staged than most nondescripts.
Its witty dialogue, tuneful music and
ludicrous situations are interpreted by
an unusually large and capable COM
pany. People want to be amused and
made to forget their cares, and surely
this lively play, with never a dull mo-
ment, will accomplish that result.
Natural Gas" will play a return en-
gagement at the Opera House next Sat
urday, January 2Sth, matinee and
night. Special matinee prices, rs and
SOC.
Vanity Fair" with a splendid COM
pany of pretty girls and clever come
dams of high repute, will be the attrac-
ton at the Grand Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, January 26-27-2S. Live
ly gavottes, inspiring marches and
grand choruses will form no small part
of the programme. Two new come
dians have been provided and the olio
will consist of acts that have a recog-
nized standing with all theatre
habitues. The International Bicyclists
will be one of the most novel offer
ings and ought to prove most exciting.

Paid a Notable Compliment.

WASHINGTON, March IA nota-
Bile compliment has been paid to Chief
Constructor Hichborn by the great
technical society that has to do with
naval ship building-namely, the Instl-
tuition of Naval Architects.
Rear Admiral Hichborn received
cablegram to-day from Professor Biles,
at London, announcing that the insti-
tuition had elected him to honorary
membership a life connection of great
dignity in naval circles. Professor Biles
is the designer of the American Line
steamers Paris and New York, and
himself enjoys an enviable professional
reputation. He was a visitor to Wash
ington last summer, and consequently
almost an eyewitness of what the
Navy Department was doing, and par
ticularly the Construction Bureau and
it is perhaps due to the report made to
him by his colleagues that this action
was taken.
The Chief Constructor has been Tor

institution. and he is professionally well
known to the British and other Eng
fish architects through the leading part

WINDSOR HOTEL HOLOCAUST.
Forty-Nine Persons Are Yet I'm

NEW YORK, March 22.-Besides the
fifteen whose dead bodies have been re-
covered, forty-nine persons who are
supposed to have been in the Windsor
Hotel when it was destroyed on Friday
are yet unaccounted for. No bodies
were recovered to-day, but shortly
after 6 o'clock tonight a fragment of
charred flesh was found on the Fifth
avenue side of the ruins near where
other bodies were found, but deeper
down.
The Fire Department still has its
lines about the ruins, isolating a con-
siderable section of one of the busiest
parts of the city.
A force of about $50 men was en-
ployed throughout the afternoon, and
a new shift of the same number was
put on at night.
The laborers reached the elevator
shaft at the Fifth-avenue and Forty
sixth street corner tonight, and began
to dig away the debris An elevator
in this shaft is thought to have been
filled with people who started down
after the fire broke out Some fire is
still smouldering in the ruins, and an
engine played upon it at the Fifth

OUR INTERESTS IN FRANCE.
A Reciprocity Treaty Will Do Much
to Advance Them.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Dr. Hen
ry Peartree, President of the American
Chamber of Commerce of Paris, has
had talks with ambassador Cambon OF
France and Mr.. Kasson, special Recl-
procity Commissioner, regarding the
Franco-American reciprocity treaty
now in course of negotiation.
Mr.. Peartree brings a fund of infor-
nation concerning American interests
in France. The American Chamber at
Paris represents those more directly
connected with the trade between the
two countries-the extensive producers,
dealers, importers and exporters, main
ly Americans, with some Frenchmen.
To a man Mr.. Peartree says they nope
to see a broad and liberal policy or
reciprocity between the two countries
as it is certain to develop large
American market in France.
He is also of the opinion that the
present time is most opportune for such
extension of trade for the two-fold rea-
son that. the United States is reaching
out to secure the markets of the world,
and that the exposition of 1870 VIII az
ford an opportunity to show to France
and to all Europe what great resources
the United States has in the way OF
production.
Europe has no real conception of the
vast productive capacity of the United
States" said Mr.. Peartree, although
this fact is just beginning to dawn up
on the people abroad. Once brought
home to them, there are extensive t.u-
ropean markets opening to our trade.
At present American machinery has III
tie market in France, as the machinery
produced in Germany and switzerland
enjoys much lower duty under the COM
mercial agreements. But upon equai
terms American machinery can secure
a. market in France. And so it is with
many other American products Ana
aside from the commercial advantages,
the good relation between France ana
the United States would be further ce-
mented. Once the two countries are
bound together in commerce, there IS
little fear they will differ seriously on
other subjects"
I. Mr.. Peartree expresses himself hope
full of seeing a treaty realized out OF
the present negotiations, although there
are many differences to be adjusted

day to secure, if possible, the attend
ance of Admiral Dewey on that occa-
sion. Their application was made di-
rectly to Secretary Long. They stated
that the proposed peace celebf alton will
be exceptional in the fact that it is to
be practically national in character. and
this would justify the request that the
hero of Manila should be summoned to
attend. The Secretary listened, and
replied that he would confer with the
President on the subject. 1t would be
a question, he said, as to whether or
not the occasion would justify the. Ad-
miral in leaving his duties at Manila.

Postmaster General Heath to-day re

official tour of the island which he mas

that the people were incredulous when
he told them that sealed letters wouid
be sacred in the mails. and that any
one who meddled with mail in transit
or in the possession of the Government
would be severely punished he says
the Porto Ricans intrust to the mails
only unimportant letters, never hdii-
