ended in 1878, and early in that period
he became a general in the insurgent

After his release. at the end of the
Ten Years war, Palma travelled in
Spanish-American countries, and set

the daughter of the president of that
republic and became postmaster gen.
eral. Subsequently he came with his
wife and one little child to New York,
and saw an opportunity to establish
a school for young people from the
Spanish-American countries. His in

ultions. It may be played on an or
binary dining table. In the EN-
ter a net is stretched. supported on
either side by movable uprights,
which are made TO clamp onto the
edges of the table. This net is about
six inches in height. and the ball is
batted back and forth across ii. OF
course, the height of the net may
vary; the lower it Is the more diff.
cult the strokes may be to return.
The server has greater opportunity

IN THE WOOL MARKET.
Fine Staple Montana, Clean, Com.

Reviewing the wool market for the
past week, the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter says:
Some call is reported for territories
grading fine and fine medium, but the
business of the week has been mark
ed by only a very few transactions of
any size, such woods as have been
moved consisting OF small lots. The
trade are now waiting to see what Will
be the character of the opening of
the clip in the other territorial Sec
tions. II is expected that shearing
will begin early in April in Wyoming
and in Nevada about the same time.
Some contracting of wool on the
sleeps backs in Nevada is reported
at IL to 12c, the woods being those
which the buyer is perfectly familiar
with. Generally speaking, there IL
less disposition, however. to operate
recklessly on the new clip than was
at one time apparent and some wes.-
ern holders of extreme views have
shown a disposition to meet the mar.
ket. Prices are firm here and quot
ably unchanged. Fine medium cloth
ing sells at about 45c for good woods,
and from that quotation prices range
up to soc, according to the ~fineness.
staple and general condition of the
wool. Some fine Nevada has sold at
4Sc. and some fine staple Montana at
49c and soc. Medium territory is
quotable at about 40c. Supplies OF
strictly fine woods are becoming more
and more limited.
