wanted, and this line of argument in
congress was the greatest obstacle
toward it's completion the Commercial
Pacific Cable company encountered.
1t took 10 months to build the cable,
and all through the different phases of
construction Clarence w. Mackay was
a close observer. When an attempt was
made to land the San Francisco end last
December Mr.. Mackay was injured in
an endeavor to loosen hawser that had
become damned in the post. He took a
hand at the work himself and received
quite a number of bruises when the
hawser suddenly freed itself.
The cost of the Pacific cable was be-
tween Sc, 0O0, 900 and SIC, 200, 900, and Mr..
Mackay took up the financing Of the
enterprise where his father had left of.
The salient point Of benefit from the
opening of this new round-the-world
line, according to Mr.. Mackay, is that 1t
opens the trade of the orient. From
government standpoint it will save tho
United States between 100000 and
100000 yearly in cable tolls This is in
time Of peace. In time Of war, the en-
tire cable will be turned over to the gov
eminent for its use This is an en-
tirely voluntary act on the part of the
cable company and is in accordance with
the wishes of the elder and younger
Mackay. As the latter puts it: 1T is an
American institution and in times Of
war the American government shall
have the full use of it"
AS to Mr.. Mackay's life, about his only
recreation these days is taken at his
summer home, Roslyn. L. l.. or on his
chartered yacht, Colonia, in which he
makes the trip from the country to New
York city and BACK each day. He is in
his Office every day in the week, except
an occasional Saturday, from nine in the
morning until five in the evening, and
his capacity for work has been remarked
by every one who comes in contact with
him.
Although an all-around athlete, Mr..
Mackay has paid little attention to ath-
lencs since his fathers death. He
seems to have settled down in the bust
ness rut He is an expert racquet play
or, but even this, his favorite sport, he
has not INDUCED in. He still keeps
stable of polo ponies, but does not play
the game.
Since he disposed of mis- racing stable
at Saratoga in August last year Mr..
Mackay has not owned race horse. His
stable was one of the best on the turf,
but when his father died young Mr..
Meckay cabled from his bedside to his
trainer, Charlie" Hill, to sell every
horse he had, and they we're disposed of
at sacrifice. Such horses as Mexican
sold for $4,000; His Eminence for 49,
900; horses that cost Mr.. Mackay more
han double that amount year previ-

AParis halter named Der, whose shop
is in the Boulevard Ge Belleville, had a
big display of summer hats on the side
walk, including many panamas. He left
the shop a few minutes Sunday after
noon, and when he returned was hor-
ror stricken to observe cab horse
busily engaged in devouring the finest
bananas. Most of these had already
gone into the horses stomach, which
probably had been accustomed to ordi-

BUT PRICES INDICATE CONF.
DENCE IN THE FUTURE.
LOOKING FOR TERRITORY WOOL
Prices Paid in Wyoming and Idaho
Show COnfidenc Is Not Lost.

The market has been decidedly
quieter the past week, says the Ameri-
can Wool and Cotton Reporter. There
have been fewer manufacturers in the
market, and those who have been in,
have taken only small lots of wool,
with one or two exceptions. One
large house is reported to have dispos-
ed of between 1000 and 5000 bags of
secured wool and another is reported
to have made a sale of stable line of
territory, but aside from these two sales,
there are few transactions in the entire
market which calls for special men,
ton.
The attention of wool merchants and
manufacturers alike is concentrated
largely on the country, where the new
clips are opening up and in a number
! Of sections are being bought as fast as
they are offered at prices which indi-
cate confidence in the future of wool.
In Idaho there are reported TO have
been big transactions, woods selling at
! price equal to Soc, clean. landed.
Some big clips in Wyoming have been
moved at a clean cost, landed, of Asa
SOC, and eve above, the grease prices
ranging from 12H to lac.
Manufacturers will buy woods at a
price which, in many cases, is below
! the ideas of holders of wool.
e.
tends to stiffen the ideas of holders ot
wool is the continued strength and fur
Their advance in prices at the London
wool auctions. Since the opening COM
petition has been spirited and prices
have hardened so that, at this writing,
average and low crossbreds are quoted
at 1920 per cent above the rates cur
rent at the close of the March sales,
3, and merinos are strong at an advance
over the March sales of N per cent.
Withdrawals since the opening of the
sales have averaged only about ? per
cent There has been brisk inquiry
for merinos, and although Americans
are reported as having secured a fair
supply of the latter, woods of this class
cannot be bought in London at prices
which would allow them to compete
with the merinos which are now on
this market. Latest advice from Aus
tralia are that rain has continued to
fall freely in Queenland and New
South Wales, and on the whole it looks
as if the worst had been passed. 1t
will have no effect, however, as far as
any increase in the production of wool
the coming season is concerned. In
fact the coming season is expected to
show less shipments than the previous
season.
The situation in domestic wool is re-
garded as d healthy one. Woods can
not be imported from abroad at "A price
which will be likely to cause any
weakness in domestic stock. The new
clip will come upon market which is
very lightly stocked. In fact the
amount of old wool carried over this
season is comparatively very small.
The market is therefore regarded as
being in a safe condition from the hold
er's point of view, even if the demand
for the time being is not active. Con-
sumers who come into the market are
not inclined to speak too hopeful of the
mill situation. The dress goods mills
are all busy, but the mems wear wooden

and worsted mills are getting toward
the end of their first orders and it will
take good many repeat orders to in
sure the full running of machinery up
to August, and some state that they do
not anticipate more than enough orders
to keep limited amount of machinery
running; but the outlook, as far as the
demand is concerned, is certainly bet
ter than it was.
Territory woods have not been in es-
pecially active demand this week,
although there has been more or less
looking around by consumers, and one
mill has taken about $50, 900 pounds,
mostly Idaho and Utah, grading fine
and fine medium, with all the staple
in. The wool was moved at current
market rates, although the actual price
is not revealed. There is good in
quiry for strictly fine wool, both clean
ing and staple, and such wool COM
mands full prices. Fine medium
clothing sells at about 47c, clean, fine
at Soc and fine and fine medium to-
gether at 48@49c. Fine selected staple
sells at 5O@S2c. Medium territories
are worth 43@45c, according to what
they are. Quite a business has been
doing in secured territories, and it is
estimated that between 1000 and 5000
bags were disposed of by one large
house. Secured territories grading
fine and fine medium have sold at
prices ranging from 48c to SAC, the
latter for woods of the choice Nevada
type. Quite large amount of choice
territory is reported 10 have sold at 48
@5Oc. Aside from the sales referred
to, however, the business of the week
was made up of moderate-sized lots.
The large line IF Idaho wool, the sale
of which was reported in these columns
last week, is claimed to have brought
a somewhat better price than was at
first stated.
New woods are being bough. in Utah
on the basis of +5@4Sc, clean, landed.
Samples of new Utah woods received
are light and lofty. One big clip in
Wyoming is reported to have sold at
1880, the wool, it is said, shrinking
over 20 per cent.

A Cure for Snake Bite.

Alkali water has been found to be a
cure for snake bite according to a story
from Glendive which says John Nc
Fran, a sheepherder for Milan Brooks,
was brought to town Thursday night
suffering intense agony from bite Of
a rattlesnake, received in the morning.
He was bitten on the finger and his
hand was black and swollen and he
was unable to talk. McFran was
herding sheep when he saw the snake
crawl into hole. McFran had heard
about taking the bull by the horns.
Here was chance to take the snake
by the tail. He acted on the idea at
once and grabbed the reptile by the
tail. But he hadn't taken careful OBJ
servations of the surroundings. There
was another hole few inches distant
into. The snake ran it's head through
the other one and struck McFran on
the hand. McFran let go his hold and
the snake made off. McFran went to
a w dNCI HOIC near Uy, tne water or
which was extremely alkaline, and
drank great quantities. Then his legs
became paralyzed and he gave up
hope. About two O'Clock in the after
noon a horse came along dragging a
long picket rope. McFran managed to
get the horse to the water hole and was
enabled to mount him, though with
great difficulty. He rode to James
Cavanugh's ranch, 10 miles distant.
When he reached there he was unable
to talk or to move, and was really more
dead than alive. w. II. Jordan was
there and helped McFran from the
horse and sent him to Glendive, dis
tance of IS miles. The trip consumed
less than three hours. At Glendive
the man was given medical attention.
The doctors say he will recover. They
declare it is miraculous escape, prob
ably due to the large amount of alkali
water drank, which acted as an anti
dote.
