Agent w. j. Pollock.

Washington, Jan. Sit is under
stood that the recent investigation of
W. ]. Pollock, agent at the Usage agen-
cy, in Oklahoma, will not lead to his
removal, as has been generally sur
missed. No discriminating evidence was
developed. The conclusions are said
to point to the agents lack of quail
fications for the place rather than to
any violation of law. The matter is in
the hands of Secretary Hitchcock, who
is understood to regard the case as not
sufficiently serious to justify Pollock's
removal.

Boots Take Another Advance
Cotton Goods Still Up.
WHEAT MOVES SLUGGISHLi'

New York, Jan. S.-Failures in 1899
were 9,393 in number, with liabilities
of S123, 1872, $40. The last days of the
year added few more to the number
and some millions to the known liabili-
ties of firms and banks which failed
close to the end, so that commercial de-
faults reached 800, $40, $3.50, of which
$40, 702, 164 were in manufacturing,
S.s,924, I'll in trading and S11, 62,954
in brokerage. promoting and other
commercial liabilities.
The disposition to ask higher prices
is seen in boots and shoes 20 cents ad-
vance being asked on some for which
TN cents was asked and paid in No
vember.
Cotton goods are at the highest quo
tations of last year, with good demand
though cotton has declined a little.
But the goods were at no time advanced
quite in proportion to the material.
Wooden goods are much lower with re-
spect to wool than year ago, and
some further advance has been expect
ed. Wool is strongly held though full
prices asked a month ago cannot be OBJ
tanned. Cotton does not rise further,
because receipts from plantations have
somewhat increased, and accounts of
of large stocks at many small towns
have attracted attention. The southern
mills which usually supply themselves
with large stocks from the surrounding
country without passing the cotton
through any market or drawing it
until it is wanted, have bought largely
on account of the publicly announced
combination last fall to raise prices.
These mills consumed last year 1,400,-
600 bales, but are reckoned as having
taken for this years crop only 491, 900.
Wheat still moves sluggishly with
small changes in prices. In six months
of the crop year about 99,Oo0,OoO bu-
shells, flour included, have been export
ed, against 1913, 900, 900 last year. The
price is practically unchanged, as also
for corn, of which 2,923,195 bushels
have been exported for the week,
against 3,572, 412 last year.
