The ssOOi Market.

Boston Bulletin OF April 80.
The WoIi market shows more activ.
ity il the number and in the sum total
o: sales, which has been secured by
concessions in prices. The market may
be quoted weak. The stocks ON hand
under ordinary circumstances would
be considered light, but, with mills
constantly shutting down ami reducing
their force, the flannel mills doing lit
tie or nothing, what little wool there is
in sight begins to look as though il
would be in the way when the new
clips begin arrivi"g next month.
RANGE f VALUES.
1t is very difficult to convey decid-
ed impression of values. The character
of the buyer enters more into the count
than the condition of the wool. Rea iy
money is desired, and those who have
supply can make their own prices on
a lot. Ii there is any change in the
market this week it is downward.
Ohio y aud NN range from 41c to 42c,
and very fine long-stapled xxx would
hardly bring more than 42!c. Michi-
gan WOODS sell at 30 to 36c, and even a
fraction lower.
In pulled WOcl' stronger depression
exists. --SuperS, which were held fort
night ago at BIC without business, are
moving slowly at 35c. Here and there
very exceptional lot brings a higher
price. Extra pulled average about 33r,
and are very slow at that.
The pressure of buyers is for still low
er values. and, taking into account the
very few really desirable customers
there are hammering the market,
there is no outlook of encouragement
for wool holders.

ENGLAND wants more grain, and the
consequence is that prices stiffening
somewhat in the west. Large quanti-
ties are being bought up on sps culation,
for it is supposed that dealers would
not buy whole corgoes for their own
consumption. The Chicago Tribune
saws that SO far as can be ascertained,
The purchases that are being made are
legitimate. Some Of them are for the
supply of the interior points, and
Others for expectation, and the prospect
is, that as soon as the planting season is
over, the accumulated stocks in the
northwest will be greatly reduced, and
there will be plenty of room to store
the growiHg crop. when it shall have
been leaped.

The Tramp Fiemd.

DAYTON o., April 29.-The country
from ten totwenty miles westward from
the city is greatly excited over the out
rage of young lady Gertrude Hill. by
an unknow villain early yesterday
morning, and his subsequent outrage
upon the person of defenseless old
lady, aged sixty-three years. The fel-
low, after fleeing from the scene of his
first crime, abandoned the horse he
stole about ten miles away, when he
took to the fields. About O'Clock yes
terday afternoon he came 10 farm
house where he found the only occu-
pant to be an old lady, whom no raw
ished in the most brutal manner, and
then fled. The whole country is arous-
ed, and if he is taken there is but
slim chance that he will be tried in the
regularly constituted courts Of justice.

THIS is a candid acknowledgment
from the. New York Horld: In their
ueck-apd-neck contest for the leader
ship of the Republican hosts, Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Bristow have adopted
enthusiastically different tactics, Mr..
Blaine being as slow as Mr.. Bristow is
quick to repeL the assaults which are
continually making by the friends of
one upon the character Of the other. A
temperate middlecourse would probab-
ly serve both of them much better
with all the public outside Of their i'm
mediate following. But, then, it is no
affair of ours TO help either the one or
the other. We are as disinterested in
the duel as the worthy woman who
watched her husband in battle with a.
bear. ~

scarcely an appreciable report 1t any dis

was not thrown above the surface OF the

that II will require ten years to finish 1t.
The blowing up Of Hallett's Point reef,
effected yesterday, is only q part of
the general scheme Of this great work,
and Flood rock, the one to be attacked
next, provided Congress makes the need
full appropriations, covers about seven
times as much space as that covered by
the reef at Halletrs Point. Hslletps
Point Is directly opposite s6th street,
New York, and Is the northwestern ex.
trernity OF Long Island. The reef is
rocky prclongation OF the point itself under
water. Leaving the land at the surface IL
projects outward and downward so as TO
reach depth OF . feet OF water at the dis
tance OF about 800 feet frem the shore. At
the waters edge the reef Is about 600 feet
wide, but tapers or as 1t recedes from the
shore. The solid contents of the rock was
estimated At about ITO, 46I Gu bic yards. The
reef extends nearly half way across the
main channel through He'll Gate, and being
nearly opposite another large and danger
