The offerings comprised 1928 packages of
white and colored blankets, 2,166 packages
of gray mixed and horse blankets, 118 pack
ages of f1annels and blanketings, and $4,000

by representatives of all markets, but many
prominent buyers contented themselves
with watching the sale and marking cata-
logues. The sale opened we'll, but as a whole
the prices realized were very low and I'M
satisfactory, and will cause a loss to every
manufacturer represented. Between agents
prices and those realized there is difference
of 80 to 40 per cent. White blankets did bet
