when the bridge was tired , but the otlicers
uro confident that they have the right parties ,
and the trial prom eased through the after
noon with a largo audience in attendance.

A GIGANTIC WOOL RING ,
Discovery of the Reasons For the Depressed
Condition of the Market.
THE PLOT WITHOUT AN EQUAL.
New York and Boston Custom House
Officers and Bis ; Eastern Manu
facturers Knclneerthe
Scheme.
Knocks a "Trust" Silly.
ST. Louis , Oct 8. ISpecial Telegram to
the BKE.I The Globe-Democrat publishes
an article on wool In which it says : "The
depressed condition of the wool market ,
which was first noticed in July and which
has been getting worse as the season ad
vances instead of better , has so tny&titiod the
wool factors that a secret Investigation has
recently been set on foot which promises to
expose a gigantic ring among eastern manu
facturers and Now York and
Boston custom house ofllclals. The
secret Investigators have discovered
that choice unwashed Australian wools
which cost 31 cents In European
markets are taking tbo place of American
wools of ths same grade which are sold
on the home market for 27 cents. But the
tariff on the foreign article Is 10 cents per
pound , which ought to mnko It cost the
American buyer 31 cents , not counting the
expense of shipping. One of the discoveries
made was that the custom house officials in
New Yoik had been undervaluing wool en
tered at that port , thus reducing the tariff to
such an extent as to enable the higher
grades to sell below even the medium nnd
lower grades of the American article. One
Instance In particular showed a saving
ot SO cents on each pound. Scoured
wool , on which the tail ft Is
BO cents , was entered as waste wool at 10
cents per pound , and It came In by the ship
load , the custom house otlicers passim : It In
this manner with a readiness that gave rise
to very loud suspicions of crookedness. Falr
chlld interposed his authority and the
Rronred wool Is now paying the full duty of
'M cents. Other similar transactions of even
greater magnitude are alleged by the wool-
men , who declare that a ring exists among
certain manufacturers and Importers In the
east and exporters beyond the Atlantic.
This ring , It is charged , includes custom house
employes and perhaps officials In both New
York and Boston. An organization effected
among commission houses claims to be on a
hot trail and the result of their Investigation
Is awaited with Interest. Said a leading
commission man : 'I believe that ono of tuo
bigfi-st rums ever organized in this country
Ims been manipulating the wool market
through connivance with the custom bouse
authorities at tVew York and Boston. They
have , by undervaluation , passed millions of
pounds ot wool through these ports and have
loaded tlm market with It , They have been
able to supply the demand with foreign
wools at prices that defy American compe
tition , ana while we have been at their mercy
wn knew nothing of their existence. The
( fleet of the depression cannot be estimated ,
Kastern manufacturers who are ID the ring
will be able to defy tlio competition of the
the western manufacturers , as well as tho.se
In the east who are outside. This not only
hurts the western manufacturers and the
less favored manufacturers in the east , but
It Injures the American wool grower wher
ever he Is to lie found. It has certainly
worked a preat Injury to the wool factors In
St. Louis as well as In the east , and nobody
knows when or where it will stop. There Is
no doubt that an amazing amount of crook
edness has been In progress , and that some
body has been benetitted Immensely by it.
Our organization U bound to stop , and when
that U done 1 think the condition of affairs
will suddenly change , "
