CHICAGO AS A WOOL MARKET.

Tho wool commission business of Chicago is largely increasing each year. In no city in the United States have the wool commission merchants better opportunities, in every respect, for doing a large and successful business than Chicago. They have large, well lighted, modern built warehouses, with every possible convenience for handling great quantities of wool with the least possible expense, and they have ample capital and banking facilities for doing their large and increasing business. They employ experienced wool graders, who are experts in the business, and the woollen manufacturer can obtain from these houses the grade of wool required to make the particular quality of goods he manufactures, and is not obliged to buy what he does not want, and cannot uso to advantage. The Chicago wool commission merchants can well afford to handle the wools from the wool growers and wool shippers for much less commission and charges than can the merchants of the Eastern cities, for the expense of doing a large wool business hero is less than half as much as at the East. Wools in Chicago are sold for cash, and the great risks of credit avoided. In tho Eastern markets sales are genorally made on from sixty davs to four months. The commission charged the wool growers by Chicago wool commission merchants is generally but about one-half as much as charged by those in eastern cities. The wool growers and wool shippers, who have done their business with Chicago during the past year h avo, as a rule, realised more money for their wool than' when shipped to the Eastern markets, or sold at homei The most intelligent and careful wool growers have learned, by experience, where they can do the best, and the number who ship their wool to Chicago is annually increasing largely. One wool commission house here handled, principally from the wool growers of the West, nearly four million pounds of wool last season and with very general satisfaction to the growers, considering the low prices prevailing for wool in all the wool markets. In very many sections the wool grower is entirely at Ihe nieroy of the local wool buyer, and taking advantage of his knowledge of the markets and of his small competition, if any, he pays often from one to five cents per pound less to the wool grower than the latter would receive if he shipped to a wool commission merchant. Everything, we are sorry to be obliged to admit, points to the probability of a low range of prices the coming season, and the wool grower should well consider his best interest in finding a market for his clip. He can ship a single sack of wool to a wool commission bouse here, and realise full prices the same as if he had a car load, if his wool is desirable and well handled. THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or comterjeited This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that flop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying' to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on tho credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8,, with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or oures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with tho word " Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Bevaro of them, Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuino American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of Green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule'a name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else, 1 Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits,
