than they last year. If prices had been forced
down on this side below all other markets, manuiac
turers would have much better assortment to select
from during the next six months than is possible
During the past ten days 100000 TBS have beer
bought in Ohio and Pennsylvania, by dealers and
uacturers, principally at 5jc y b, and very little
left under G0c and when buyers make up their mind L
pay that price higher figure will be asked Fleece
wool the seaboard is very The lesson OF last
