Show A TOUGH NUT FOR OUR NEIGHBOR Woolen Goods. TLe tendency ot the market tor staple worsted gooas lor men's wear is distinctly towards nigher prices. In Clay worsteds, tor instance, agents are either eo far sold ahead that they are taking no further business, or are exacting advances of ly ro 10 per cent, on reorders coming to'hand. Prices on foreign clays and serges nave advanced, and for the next heavy weight season quotations promise to" be little short of piohiDitive, opening up good prospects tor domes- tic manufacturers, in fancy worsteds there ib no material change, and in medium priced woolenB the market ib still dull and featureless. Business in overcoatings and the tloakines also has Bhown little change. In dress goods reorders for fall lines are fair for the time of year and still generally satisfactory for spring in both low grade and higher fancies. Flannel blankets and carpets are firm, with an average demand. Dun's Review, Oct. 19, 1895. The attention of the wool encumbered brain of our neighbor is respectfully drawn to the above clipping. x)oes our sheepish friend catch onto the fact that free wool is enabling our manu facturers to raise the price on domestic vvoolen goods, and "promise to be little short of prohibitive, opening up good prospects pros-pects for domestic manufacturers?" ThuB is free wool innuriug to the benefit of first, the manufacturers who are crowded with orders; the spmneis and weavers whose wages will De advanced ad-vanced by the raise in prices, and the sheepmen are making from 20 to 50 per cent. In the face of such facts ,our obtuse" friend across the block will continue its "grand stand play" on every voter that is interested ia wool, and will endeavor to bribe them into voting the republican ticket by its incessant in-cessant chatter for protection for the prosperous wool grower and its everlasting ever-lasting cry for taxes to be taken from the pockets of the people to bribe the 'hard working beet raisers" to also vote the ticket that stands for tho robbery rob-bery ol Peter to put into the pockets of Paul, Verily our esteemed neighbor neigh-bor is great on political economy. |
