THERE is nothing of Importance been
done in wool. The general impression is
that the market will open at very low fig
ures. The Ohio Former, in its last issue,
says: ''Haviug spent week at the head
quarters OF the wool trade, it will be ex-
pected that we give some information to
wool growers as to what win be reasonable
TO expect in the opening of the wool sea-
son. At present the wool trade is decided
1y dull; there is enough of old wool in the
eastern cities to supply the demand until
the next clip comes into market, and then
we look for prices to run low. But we have
the best of reasons for believing that prices
will be better for botE wool and wooden
goods in October than they will be in July.
1t is significant fact that sagacious mer-
chants are laying in their fall stocks of
woolen goods off the spring market, and
that spectators are buying up woolens to
hold for rise. In view of these facts ev-
e-y man must be his own Judge as to the
best time fol, him to SELL"

warm, blows were resorted to, and on the
second round the Elyria man went tn
grass and laid there. The Bereap nrovad
himself the hardest hitter if not the hest
butcher, and we suppose his antagonist.
under the circumstances, will concede that
much. Yesterday, Ruth Duffle made COM
