sPokANE's MARKET REPORT

Since the opening of hostilities in
Europe few of the elements of uncer-
tainty that have been developed have
been disposed of, but such as have
occurred have been largely of a spec
ulative nature as bearing on the in
fiuencing of the price of commodities.
There has been no notable changes
in standard prices in dry goods as
yet, although advices are being re-
ceived of the expected shortage in all
products of foreign origin.
Price changes for the week are
noted as follows: Advances-Import-
ed sardines, coffee, olive oil, beans,
hominy, flour, corn meal, cured meats,
rice, sugar, syrup, lemons, butter,
cheese, eggs, seeds, wheat and oats.
Declines-Dried fruits, cantaloupes,
pears, grapes, egg plant, potatoes, dry
onions, chickens, pork and mutton.

PRICE OF WOOL.
Did you sell your wool while
the stand pat" Republicans
were shouting panic? Or did
you hold it for the advance which
Democrats predicted would oc-
cur? If you were influenced by
the. "standpatters" your bank
account is not as fat as it should
be, but if you needed the opto-
mists OF Democracy you are now
figuring on purchasing a new
automobile.
l do not want to rub it in, but
| think as Democrats we are JUS
titled in devoting little time to
this question of the effect of the
tariff on the price of wool.
Through all the years, the
Democrats have said that the
tariff on wool was a fake and
fraud, which was placed on the
statute books for the sole pur-
pose of deceiving the farmers Of
this country and thus winning
their support for the high pro-
tective syetem. Time and again
we pointed out that wool YVES
commanding as high and some
times higher price in free trade
England than in protected Amer
lea, and we argued that the
Woolen Trust controlled the mar
ket in this country and could fix
the price it would pay the WOOL
men for their clips.
When we placed wool on the
free list, the wool buyers through
out the country made concerted
effort to stampede the wool men.
They offered ridicously low prices
for the various grade and insist
ed that still further drop was
probable.
The Republican newspapers
backed up the wool buyers by
telling blood curdling tales of the
hard times which always marked
Democratic administrations.
The combination was too much
for most sheep-men, and they
sold at the bottom prices. OF
course. the deception could not
be maintained for ever and the
prices of wool have now returned
to normal, and in many instances
far above the average.
1t would be interesting to know
just how the Woolen Trust prof
tied from this team work be-
tween the Republican politicians
and the wool buyers.
1t is probable that the total
would be represented by at least
seven figures.
The sheep-man is not likely to
forget. He has a pretty good
memory, and he will make it in
teresting for the next stardpat-
ter who attempts to talk to him
about the blessings of protection.
