nomena Of toraaLoes, aud to the scientific
study OF which Lieutenant John P. Fin
ley, Of the Signal Corps, has devoted
about eight year,, are nov 80 well under

to the people Of localities which may be
threatened with violent visitat:ons.
Daily predictions are in fact being made,

To reporter otsthe Associated Press
Lieutenant Finley recently described the
known phenomena of tornadoes and the
ends toward which the present research
is directed.
The storms have distinctly marked char

confounded with "hurricaues," "bliE-
yards" "cyclones" or "northeasters."

The Wool alarltst.

BosToN, Oct. S.-The Adratiser in its
weekly review of the wool market says:
The market has been less active, but prices
are well SUSTAINED, and some woods are
held higher than week ago. Dealers are
not pressing any wools, it must be eremem-
'tered, as they are still sold ahead. The
demand for medium and coarse woods is
as quick as at any time, and the tendency
ia upward. The future Of the market Is
now subject Of considerable discussion,
and opinions diLTer widely. Everything
depends largely upon goods, what styles
will be most worn next season, and the
prices obtained. One authority Will state
In the most assuring manner that he has
Il ye,y straight that cheviots will be
largely worn by men next year; and
another will contradict 1t in equally RS
confident q tone, and state that there
Ia TO be q revival OF broadcloths,
tricots and fine smooth goods. The coarse
homespun rough goods have had their
day, according TO that, while according to
Others they are to have another inning.
Manufacturers have not had their heavy
been eeu' this season, but there has been,
apart from that, no great money in the
business since prices have been low.
Their spring orders have been productive
Of some advances, but the supply Of goods
will surely be ample; indeed, the danger.
is that manufacturers may DO captivated
BY some of the great prospects that are In
circulation hereabouts and put up prices
higher than the demand and trade will
warrant. The recent advance in wool has
already created sharp call for shoddy,
and more will go into goods tnan for
many previous seasons.
