THE WOOL MARKET.
The Prices Good and the Demand sus-
tained.

The Prices Good and the Demand Sus-
tained.
BOSTON, September 2,-Bradstreefs in
their review of the wool market say, gen
eral activity and well-sustained strength
characterize the wool markets. As the
season advances the manufacturers are OBJ
tanning liberal orders for lightweight
goods, and many of them are stocking up
to some extent in anticipation of further
contracts. Their is no hesitation in buy
ing for immediate requirements at cur
rent values, notwithstanding the recent
advance of 10 per pound or more. Much
more.confidence is apparent on every hand
than month ago. A considerable amount
of wool now on the sesboard is held oy
the owners for further advance. Receipts
have run small Of late.
An excellent demand for wool prevails
at Boston, and wool prices are strong.
This is particularly true OF fine hsecee,
which until recently have been more de-
pressed than other descriptions. Current
values appear likely to be sustained, but
whether further advance will occur is
not so certain. The demand for desirable
Ohio and Michigan hseces is satisfactory,
ahd there is also general inquiry for fine
territory stock. All sdvices agree in say
ing that the Montana clip this year re-
markably good. There is a fair request
for Texas wool. Carpet stock is selling
more freely, but at very low values.
The sales for the week at Boston are re-
ported at 4, ,O34, 900 pounds, as against g.
800, 900 last week and 2, 2,1l2,5 500 in the
corresponding week year ago.
At Philadelphia demand has been less
active and business moderate in volume,
owing in part to limited stocks Of desira-
able woods and in part to the steadily ad-
vancing views of sellers. Much of the new
wool now being opened and graded is held
above the present views Of buyers. Sales
have been made at 19a21c, for fine m
washed, 26a27c, for quarter, and 25s2Sc
for medium unwashed combing; 32s32tc
for fue delaine and 30a3lc for Xxx and
above Ohio flseces. Ooe lot of luO, $50
pounds XX and above Ohio sold at 32c,
but il was very choice.

New YORK, September 2.-The bishops
of the Methodist Episcopal Church have
decided that the radical modification OF
the itinerant system resolved upon by the
National Conference of last May shall not
be delayed. The action then taken was to
permit q minister to remain in one pastor.
ate five years instead of only three. There
was general feeling in the denomination
favorable to an extension of the term, but
when the conference came to discuss the
proposition powerful opposition was de-
veloped. Singularly, this did not come
from lay delegates, but from some OF the
most influential of the clergymen, who ar
gued that fundamental principle of Meth
odism would be just 80 far abandoned as
any charge was made.
The question was referred to commit
tee of thirteen, of whom eight reported in
favor of prolonging the term to four years,
but the minority advised five, and the
conference sustained the latter report,
The bishops have now ruled that the
amendment of the discipline took effect
upon its passage, and therefore Methodist
pastors throughout the country will not
have their usual disturbance next spring
However, it remains optional with the
presiding elders to transfer pastors every
three years as before, if the good of the
service seems to demand it. But a pastor
may be lett in one pulpit five years out Of
ten if his elders think hest, and those five
years may be alternate or consecutively
The talk at the Methodist Book Concern
is that the practical effect of the new law
will he leave nearly the entire Methodist
clergy uuremoved next spring,

VIII Never Fight Dempsey-His Opinion
of John L.
CLEVELAND, o., September "A we'll
known local man, who has just returned
from n three months trip to England,
says that he does not believe that Mitchell
will ever agree to fight Jack Dempsey.
His right hand is broken midway between
the wrist and knuckles, and is not likely
to ever stand the test Of fight The re-
spect in which he holds Dempsey is illus
trated by the fact that he told Toff Wall
never to make q match with the American
champion. Mitchell also told the Cleve-
lander that Kilrsin had earned $9, 900 in
Eugland; that Sullivan had murdered him
in the first eight rounds of the fight at
Chantilly, and that once he was as good as
knocked cut.
Mitchell denied that there was any sus-
picion of truth in the story started by
Holske about his seconds being paid to FIX
q draw. 81 was glad enough to stop"
said Mitchell. Both he and Kilrain told
the Cleyslander that Sullivan was ss good
almost as ever; and that no man in the
world had any chance with him, Queens
berry rules, at the glove game, but for
a clean fighter, Sullivon is the biggest
chump ever saw in a 24-foOt ring with
the fighting under London rules" says
