Then general attitude of the manufac-
turers toward the wool market Is one Of
looking over the dealers holdings pretty
carefully and in other ways suggesting
mat they will be BUYERS later on:
such a condition presents no real ex-
cuse why the dealers should shade their
prices indeed, nothing of the sort Is being
done, as the local supply of wool Is far
from. burdensome. and. American pur-
chases in foreign markets are extremely
small this year, which means that manu-
facturers will have to supply the bulk OF
their needs out of the wool that is on
hand.
1t is true that considerable quantities
of consigned woods are held here and IN

buyers to Omaha and st. Louis In the
hope of picking up cheaply some of the

high figures, is difficult either iii tho

ORDER EXPRESS RATES CUT.
Canadian Railway Commission Give
Three Months Notice.

Ottawa, Dec. 26.-The Canadian Rail
way Commission has directed the en-
press companies Of the Dominion to
file lower tariff rates within three
months. The commission declares that
express rates are too high, and that.
as the express companies arc owned
by tho railway companies, there is no
occasion for the existence Of separate
companies To handle the express bus
mess.
A rate reduction 81 Ut least ~ per
cent in through express traffic IS Or
dered, local rates to be corresponding
IL cut, The existing form Of shipment
contract IS ordered abolished. The
commission holds in its judgment fled
Saturday that the present form Of con-
tract Is unreasonable and designed 70
enable the companies to escape respon-
sfbjlity for shipments lost or damaged.
The commission affirns that the eX-
press companies overpay the railways
for accommodation in stations and
intimates that this is a convenient way
of disposing Of profits which otherwise
might be 50 cohspicuously large as to
be irconvenient.
Describing methods Of financing III
various express and railway companies,
the commission points out that the
Dominion Express. owned by the Ca
madam Pacific Railway. is capitalized
and pays dividends Oh S2.000,00o, al
though the railway board could tind
only S24,500 cash which had ever been
put into capital. lii seven Years the
Dominion Express earned $21, 1855
and paid the Canadian Pacific Railway
S13. 409,249, or 6S.9 per cent. During the
same time the Canadian Express Co.
owned by the Grand Trunk Railroad
earned S13 1852, ,266 and paid the Grand

offered Tranmen and Conductors
They Ask About IS Per Cent

Chicago, Dec. 2G.---With the wage
controversy between the Western rail-
roads and the locomotive engineers adj
ready to resume negotiations with the
trainmen and conductors in the hope
that the slate may be wiped clean by
the new year.
Seventy five thousand trainmen and
conductors OF all the railroads west Of
Chicago are involved in the Con-
troversy They are demanding D wage
increase of about IS per cent On ac-
count Of the critical stage which the
negotiations with the engineers reach
ed at the end of last week, conferences
with the trainmen and conductors were
adjourned temporarily. They viii re-
sumo tomorrow and it is expected that
before the end Of the week an agree
ment may be reached.
The Brotherhood OF Railroad Train
men and the Order OF Railway Con-
ductors are acting Jointly in the nego-
tiations.
The mana gers it is understood have
offered the men q fat increase Of 10
per Cent. over existing schedules. but
the offer does not include any change
in working rules. AS each rule means
money to the men they say they are
more anxious about rules than they
are about the increase,
So far the conferences have been
marked by harmony and it is said
there is little danger of break.

WHY He Was ExcInded.

A friend Of James Whitcomb Riley
tells of an occasion when the humor-
ist, who usually dislikes social func-
tions, was induced to attend lit
erary' dinner in indianapolis given in
honor of one of the novelists who live
there. Mr.. Riley had been told to take
in to dinner a sister of the host, an
excellent woman. but not literary.
The conversation touched upon the
beauties of Chaucer, about whom a
certain set Of the city was then cul-
tivating a fad. A spirited discussion
ensued, during which the bewildered
sister caught from time to time only
the name "Chaucer," At last she whis-
pered to Mr.. Riley:
who is this Mr.. Chaucer they're
talking so much about? Is he very
popular in society,"?
Madam" solemnly responded Riley,
that man did something that forever
shuts him out of society"
Mercy" exclaimed the worthy wo-
man. What was it?'
HE died several hundred years ago,
said Riley.-Kansas City Times.
