In that year the sales of domestic were VJtW.OOO, and this year f,f'fd,7."0 pounds. The marketsnre quiet, almost unprecedented apathy for the season prevailing, but because stocks of foreign wools held hero are remarkably large ami are offered at prices iclatively lower than those demanded by western growers. Advances in wages of iron workers by Mr. Frick, of the Carnegie com

pany, nre as significant as were the ndvances in wages of coke workers by the Frick Goko Co. Apparently it is a stratcgetic movement in the great battle between iron producing interests, although it is generally interpreted as proof that the outlook for trade is sufficient to warrant a material advance in wages and prices. Most furnaces in the Mahoning valley have also advanced wages.nnd Hessemer Iron lias raised lo SI 1.40 at Pittsburgh, with gray forge to SD.Ö5. Finished products are In larger demand, but as yet not enough larger to cause any general advance In prices, and proposals of combinations in merchants' steel, structural iron, wire rods and cut nails, with the exists ing combination in steel rails, showthat the market does not rise of itself.

Tlie shoe manufacture is doinir r

markably well as usiiul, though operations for the future are materially retarded by the advances in leather nnd hides, which many begin to think have gone somewhat too far. Foreign trade for the week shows a heavy decrease, 30 per cent., compared with last year In exports, and the decrease in May thus far is about t'O per cent. On the other hand the Import for May increase less than 2 per cent. In consentience the trover nun-tit ri-
