Wool Market.

The great bulk Of the new woods hes gone
east out of the hands of growers. The sup
ply now upon the Boston, New York and
philadelphia markets is said TO be larger
than il has ever been at this time OF year.
Manufacturers have therefor considerable
wool to choose from, and they are buying
freely of nearly all grades. Prices. while
unchanged, are held firm. Fleeces have
the call, being relatively cheaper than any
other grade in the market. Sales of these
woods are very large, and some choice lots
have sold az slight advance over market
quotations. Clothing cOmbing and de-
laine woods are active and steady. A good
demand is reported for unwashed Ohio and
Michigan woods A fairly good movement
is noted sin Texas woods, but they are
not as active as some weeks ago
Other woods which are more deslraIe
and cheaper have taken the attention OF
buyers California and Oregon woods are
only moderately active. Considerable ter
ritory is being taken. especially Montana,
which has come forward quite freely OF
late and is in splendid condition. Pulled
woods are quiet Stocks are light, and
manufacturers are giving their attention
almost exclusively to clipped woods. Skins
are as high as they were year ago, Wnle
wool has suffered a considerable decline IN
price. This necessarily retards the move
ment from pullers TO dealers. a good de-
mand is reported for Australian wOGiS.
Prices hold steady, and dealers are very
firm in their demands. Most Of the wool
taken at the London sales has been re-
ceived, vet stocks are not heavy. A little
firmer feeling and better demand Is noted
for carpet woods.

between New York and Queenstown, both
eastward and westward, was made in the
latter part of the year 1891 by the wonder
tul steamship Teutonic, of the White Star
Line. The fastest passage from Queens
town to New York was made by the Teu-
tonic in August. being five days. sixteen
hours and thirty-one minutes. This still
remains the record for steamships in the
world. The fastest passage from New
York to Queenstown was also made by the
Teutonic in September, 1891, being
five days, twenty-one hours and
twenty-five minutes. The last record,
however, was again broken by the
same vessel on October 81 of the
same year. when Captain Irving's boat
was signaled off Brow Head at 9:55 in the
morning, making record eastward from
New York five days, twenty-one hours and
three minutes.
The first steamer to cross the Atlantic
ocean was the steamboat Savannah. which
crossed from Savannah, Ca, to Liverpool
in the year 1919. This feat created intense
excitement at the time. From Liverpool
the Savannah steamed to Russia and
from Russia straight back to Savannah.
