| TAXED BY THE TARIFF. Advanced = Everywhere Along the Line. Prices There is not # jobbing or a retail establishment in Dubuque which from lifferent them not received notice eastern houses which sell goods of an advance in prices ou ac count of the McKinley bill. Just where this benefits the western cou- sumer without creating for him a, better market does not appear and cannot be demonstrated by those re publicans who, through love for and | allegiance to party, are foweed to d fend that piece of iniquity known as the McKinley bill. much the attempt is made to dis- guise it, it is nevertheless a fact that No matter how | there is a general aduance all along the line. Dubuque merchants have received the October 11 copy of the Dry Goods Economist, a prices lately journal for the trade published in New York | and which is thoroughly non parti sau. It says relative to prices: The first effect of the new tariff has been to harden values for all kinds of dry goods and to advance prices for classes. To review the market systematically: Cotton is lower, but cotton goods above 100 threads to the square inch are great- er, while lower counts are very steady. Cotton hosiery and under- wear are higher. Raw wool bas advanced and all manufacturers are firmer to higher. Fine dress goods are 10 to 15 per cent. dearer, and flannel fabrics are firmer, with an upward tendency. Cloaks have advanced and clothing will be dearer later on. Carpets will be higher with the opening of spring prices. Linens have advanced 10 per cent.,and the tendency is up- wards, particularly for handkerchiefs. Silk has not shared in the ad- vance, barely holding its own. In velvets and plushes the advance is from 12 to 17 per cent. Ribbons are steady, as are also gloves. Cam- el's hair is higher, and feathers and trimming have leaped up. Furs have advanced. Pearl buttons, of course, have taken an upward bound. In its paragraphs on the markets appear the following: Woolen goods have been quiet in demand. The tone of the market is stronger, and in the absence of stock, new fabrics will be dearer, especinl- ly dress goods, flannels and flannel fabrics. Knit goods have been active in demand, andthe booking of spring orders has progressed satisfactorily in quantity and at a fair advance in prices. Fancy knit woolens have been without special interest John V. Farwell & Co. of Chicago, have sent the following to their Du- buque customers: The new tariff law which went into effect the 6th of the present month will probably cause an ad | vance of from 16 to 20 per cent. on| Hearly all lines of foreign dry goods and fancy goods. Up to this time| we have not advanced any of our | goods, but will be compelled to do so as rapidly as our present supply is disposed of. A large dealer in yarns sent out | the following concerning an article | which is used in every family: Dear Sin—Owing to the new tar- if which goes into effect to day and which increases the prices of all im- ported yarns about 25 cents per pound, we have to advance for the| present the choice of imported Sax- ony and Germantown to 10 cents a box and zephyr and ice wood 10 per pound. A further advance, com- mensurate with the actual increase in the cost of the goods, may be looked for at an early day. As the effect of the new bill has already quade itself manifest in higher prices of domestic wools, we may also be forced to advance prices on all doe mestic yarns without any notice. | C. A.

The measure is purely retalia- |tory in its nature and was brought lination against Mexican products, bill It is only two years since Kansas hogs into Mexico. The trade has increased rapidly, growing week by week until several thousand shipped there every week. these cattle were sent considerable quantities of grain to feed the ani- mals on the journey, probably 500 bushels to the train load. One of the effects of this “lack of reciproci- ty” between the two countries will be to greatly damage the local mar- ket for cattle and grain. The gov- ernment will not permit the grain for fodder to pass into Mexico unless a duty of 30 cents per ton is paid. Many Kansas City merchants have been looking forward to the time when this city would supply Mexico with eattle and hogs for breeding purposes and for the markets of that country. But the interference of the two governments natural trade of the two republics has effectually dashed these hopes to the ground. Mr. George R. Barse of the Georgs | R.
