COMING WOOL CLIP.
Prospect That Price Will not be High
Large Stocks Still on Hand.

Local dealers are of the OPT, 10
thas the comirg wool clip will Lot
be sold at high 6gurer. The pres
ant indications are thst The figure
will be lower than last year. lAc-
cording to the best authorities all
the east .rn buyers lost mooey at
the prices paid last season. Most
of the Benton County wool went at
II cents to the grower,N though a.
few sold at slightly lower figures.
A 9 1000 pound pot l cold by Cor
Wallis merchants, went at III cert y
lowing the latter margin of but
a quarter of cent for handling and
interest, which gave them placti-
cally no profit on the transaction.
This wool went il t),the hands Of
Eastern buyers, and much Of 1t is
still held with the price at As cents
per pound, secured. As wo, loses
about oSsper cent in securing, and
the freight is about two cents, it
will be seen that such Of it as il
still held is worth less than IS
cents to the man who now holds il.
That is why local d. alers figure
that the coming clip will not sell
at as high a price as prevailed Las t
year. OF course, sumo unseen or
unexpected influence might reverse
conditions and bring out a better
price than is Eow expected, but
local dealers regard such a change
as very improbable. The following
from the Oregonian Of the 12thlon
the subject, explains the situation: !:
the wool season of 10 3 has clo-
sed with values lower and weak,
but as the Oregon clip all moved
at fair prices, it, makes no direct
difference to. the Oregon grower:
Still it has been quite unsatisfactory
to the East -rn wool dealers, and
probably but few of them have
come out eve" their pu cha=es.
AT the beginn,ng Of the Oregon
season, May Is. Oregon fine and
fine medium woods were worth in
the Eastern ma,ks'sr45 cents per
secured pound, and dealers began
buying on tbis basis. By July the
price had been run up to 48 cents
per secured pound, and by the eud
of August to 50 certs landed in
Bo>t N, Manufactured goods ope-
ned at last seasons prices to-5 per
cent above; the manufacturers were
net willing to pay the advance as
ked by dealers, and pursued a
hand to- mouth policy when com
piled to buy. The majority OF the
woolholders were strong holders
asking manufacturers on the basis
. of So cents per secured pound or
fine and fine medium, while the
manufacturers claimed that they
could not pay over 48 cents. Some
weak holders were found and con.
siderable wool was sold at the latter
price, Manufacturers securing sufh
cient to keep running.
Within the past few weeks tn.
tronger holders have been selling

"The Sign of the Cross"

The Boston Herald recently published
the following article regarding THE
Sign Of the Cross which is to be present
ed at the Opera House. on Saturday after
noon and evening, April 80
Most magnificent of all the attractions
offered at Boston Music Hall this year is
William Grcet's original London produc-
ton of Wilson Barretts great religious
drama. The Sign Of the Cross. The
play has been commended by many emf
nent authorities for its beneficial moral
influence. but 1t is certainly not lacking
in the element of intense interest and the
opening performances of the present run
provoked storms Of the most enthusiastic
approval. The work Of the present com
pany is Of a remarkably high order. AS
the splendid Marcus. lord of Rome and
slave of a Christian girl. Mr. George
Flood was superb. His honors were di-
vided however, by Miss Rose Elizabeth

Hon. Chas. a. Millken returned on
the Thursday morning Pullman. from Z
trip to Aroostook county, i'll the inter
ests of the ST. John Lumber Co. Speak
ing of the company's new mill at Var
Buren, he said that il WAS practically
completed, and that the shingle mill
will be started about May Is. The hi =
mill it is thought. will be started, June
Is. The ice went out of the st. John
river Wednesday. and he had the good
luck to be a spectator. 1t was grand
spectacle, he said. to see the great
fields of ice come down the river.
Sheets of it would slide up on the piers
and fall back, and some of it, heavier
than the rest. would slide high over
the pier and fall over on the top. a
remarkable thing about the ice going
out was that only a week ago it was
two feet thick. Regarding the drive on
that river, he said that the logs were
running into the mill at Island Falls.
Wednesday. and that they would begin
saving. today. All conditions for the
drive are favorable. In speaking of
the Kennebec drive, Mr.. Milliken said
that the drive on the streams was COM
ing along ali right, and weather coadi-
tons were all that could be desired.
The rains had been cold. and while
they had raised the streams. they had
not wasted the snow. That will melt,

AMUSE M ENTS.
"Oavid Harum."

Tho drama, David Harum," which
WAS presented at The Opera house. last
evening. afforded very good satisfa"-
ton to those who saw it, and can be
reckoncd as ar average performances
Like many other rural dramas. it was
of the one man style, and David WIS
revolving around MIN simply as satel
lites.
To those of the audience who had
read the book, the play naturally vas
familiar, although Of course the drama
diverged from the story in places, and
it was easy to follow. and almost an
ticipnte what was coming.
The character Of David Harum was
impcfsonatcd by w. r. Mickey. who
Was very funny in his Interpretation,
but he was hardly the ideal David
which one would picture to himself
from reading the story. However. he
was clever, and kept tie audience in
the best Of humor.
Miss Durant. as aunt Polly" Neil
Burton as Deacon Perkins" Harold
Morgan as "Zeke Swinney." and Miss
Chase as the Widow Cullum," were
also very good in their respective
parts.
The play abounds in horse talk per-
haps Il little too much. and naturally,
David'S horse trade with the deacon is
one of the principal features. There
is n liberal proportion of fun through
out the three acts. but there are also
bits Of pathos, one being where David
tells Dick Larrabec about the death of
his boy. and another. in the last act.
where he gives back to the Widow
Cullllm her mortgage deeds

EXHIBITION OF FENCING.
The Pianelli Fencing Club Will Enter
tain at Golden Cross Hall, Toniqht.

The Pianelli Fencing Club will give
al exhibition of fencing, tonight, in
Golden Cross hall. All the best fencers
in the organization will participate,
and during the evening solos will be
rendered by DIR. Walter Thomas and
Charles Bilodeau.
An interesting feature will be the
bout between Miss Winnefred Lee and
her sister, Miss Lee. The latter was
unusually skilful with the foils prev
ious to her commencing her studies as
trained nurse and has lost none of her
old-time proficiency.
The Rev. II. e. Dunnack in point of
experience is one of the Oldest fencers
in the club, having been taught by his
father a fencer of unusual skill.
Owen combines ease of motion with 4
quickness of execution most effective
in it's results, and gives promise of flu
ture proficiency. Reid although young
in tie ar, is rapidly coming to the
front.
Sawtelle. one of the most energetic
and powerful fencers has been fencing
for number of years, and by his many
parties and cool head is a most difficult
man to hit. His bouts with Bilodeau
are a marvel of speed, vigor, and rapid
ity of attack and defense.
Wardwell in length of lunge pre-
cision of attack and extreme rapidity
of movement is unsurpassed and is
easy and graceful and abOunds in
elusive thrusts and complicated
riposteS.
Bilodeau. the dark horse of the Ban
gOr meet, is the youngest in point of
experience, but the power of his at
tack, the quickness Of his ripostes and
raritlity of his movements render him a
dangerous opponent.
Miss Winnifred Lee has been working
diligently under the instructor and has
made rapid strides in this most grace
self a very graceful fencer, promises
to be the event Of the evening, pre-
coded as it is by the grand salute, that
graceful exchange Of courtesies be-
tween two contestants, which steadies
the nerves and brings the eye. hand
and mind into perfect harmony in
preparation for the more vigorous as
Sault.
Mr. White, who has been instructing
the members. is justly proud of his
pupils, many of whom. although not
mentioned here, are rapidly becoming
skilful fencers.
The exhibition will be open to the
public. Tickets may be procured from
the members or at the door.
