to 3,Gl9.900 pounds of all kinds. Pri-
on some grades of fine wool have
n advanced, and it looks as though 40
is would soon be reached on Ohio NX
pl. The shutting down of tifty-nine
5 will of course hurt the demand for
grades used most by them, but in the
run it may have IA good effect on
branch of the goods trade by lessen
the production. No general strike is
cipated, and the wooden goods trade
tinues good and the manufacturers
looking forward to advanced prices

that Michigan wool will reach 30
