j Wool.
There was ar advance to 2 cents per lb.
tor good loto here at Salem, and a tolerably
lively business was done. Wednesday soma
buyers were still paying that price, but wa
hear of private advloes from San Franolsco
that Oregon wools had dropped from 33 cents
to 30 cents per pound, a deellne of 3 cents
per pound, nd some buyers here withdraw
from tbe market. Wo may be the victims
of aomo corner In wool got np In San Fran
clBoo.or the docllue may be fixed by East
ern quotations, which we doubt, aa the mar
ket has boon sieadlly Improving there for a
month paat, and the dotnand was active.
Mr. W. J. Horron Informs us thatFarrar
and Uerrenhave purchased over 300,000 lbs.
this seapon, alroadyj mostly from Marlon,
with aomo from Polk and Yamhill. Early
In June, boforo tho rise took place, Mr. II.
sent samples of avorngo quality, valley
wools, to Justice, llAtouian A Co,, Philadel
phia, requesting to havo prices affixed to
them. They returned quotations ranging
from 28 to 30 conts per lb, for ooarao oloth
Ing wool and fine heavy wools (greasy Mori
nos) with an average of 33 cents per lb. for
our Marlon oouniy-wools, and as high as
37X conm per lb. for light long wools; the
lattor good oomblogquallty. This result
will be a aurprlw to many, but coarser
wool that will not lose over 80 vr cent, will
noll'for morothan tho tine Merino that will
not yield ovor 30 porcont. when scoured.
'' Since thoao prices were named wools have
advanood about Bets In Philadelphia; so that
our avorago would.bo worth 40ct with 45cta
for tho bettor -rades. thouah Mr. Horren
says bo sent no fanoy samples, but only such
as represented tho wool actually In market.
xrour averago wool is now worm tvou, cur
reaay. In Philadelphia, there la no reason
wny it snouiu not us worm oaoia in vitruu . -and
lfthat much I not bid for It, our wool
urowera onuld shin East snd have It sold for
account and realize all there was In it, less
freight and 2ots per lb oommtsilon. wnion
would be Juat about 6ots per ib. This mat
ter Is worth Inquiring Into and making a
Pair trial o f. .

if you W4nt a lirat class machine of any
kind, call on Mr. Newbury, Portland, mana
ger for this houso, aud Inspect his assort

Under the nonular and liberal management
of Mr. Newbury, this house has grown to
bo a great toaturo in tne ousmess oi up

Wo hear of a man calling himself Crocker,
who after visiting Salem and collecting alms
on bis pitiful story, baa vialted Polk and
Yamhill counties, seeking among the farm
ers for homes ' for bis pretended children.
Ula tale la that ho lived In the Umpqua and
bis wife died the middle of Jnne, falling
dead suddenly while Ironing) that three days
afterwards a lamp exploded and set his barn
on fire, aud the bam also burned aud three
horaos In, It. He lost everything he had and
bronght his chlldron dowu to Independence
where he supposod his slstor lived, but she
was gone. Tuo goou poopio oi roia aim

pttliy.nnd agree to help him tako caro or

auco as soon as, bo can return with them, aud
thnt business being satisfactorily arranged
ho pathetically askn u little money help on
account of a boy of his who has met some
kind of accident, and noeds a doctor. He
mako wages at this business of begging and
never returns with tho proinlied child. The
man Isof ooursof abllk, a fraud, aaooundrol,
and probably a thief, and while tboro ara

No such story Is ovor true.
