VERY FiSEY STORY, This.
American Consul at Bradford, Eng
land, Reports That There is a De-
mand for United States Wool.

WASHINGTON, April s The Amer
lean consul ut Bradford. En- gland, re-
ports to the department Of state that
an endless amount of gossip has been
caused there during the last six weeks
by the Offering for sale of largs quaint
ties OF American wool. SAyeral lots of
OHIO wool, aggregatiuS 50 600 pounds,
were reportsd among the purchases
One Bradford firm which bought 5. 900
pounds, paying for the various grades
rom 22t to 26 clnts per pound, said the
wool gave perfect satisfaction, 80 much
80, in fact, that they were holding it
for higher prices.
The purchaser explained to the con-
sui that the American skin woods were
especially adapted for ho'iery yarns
and were equal TO the finest English
crossheads, the only thing that has
kept their price down being in his
opinion the fact that American man
ficturers have not as fully mastered
the manipulation of the skin or pulled
WOODS which are taken from the sheep
after death. Asa general thing the
prices of American woods OF all grades
are now practically tine same as OF the
similar English grades
The manufacturers in Bradford as
ssrs that the moment the tariff hill b.
comes a law the prices of American
wool will revive and several of them
are so strong in this belief that they
have made large investments in wool
now held in Philadelphia and Boston.
They insist that the now impetus
given to manufactures bv free raw
IN tterial will cause larger quantities Of
the United States grown article to be
mixed with fine foreign woods and that
the demand for American woods for
hosiery purposes will Immediately SET
in on tho English market.
II is already proposed by wool deal
ers in England to exchange tho grade,
Of wool more snitnbls for dress goods
and clothes for the American wool
adapted for hosiery and otler purposes
They argue this viii at onse bring
about renewed activity in the trade

several suspicious looking packages

smugglers at about / o'clock and took
them to the station house. They were
