The year is going out as usual with a
quiet market. There is, OF course, no con-
tinuous free business, although some
days there are sales OF moderate size. All
wools are moving in small way, and
prices are fairly strong, no disposition TO
concede anything being apparent. The
consensus of opinion is that things, after
all, indicate that fair amount of busi-
ness will be under way early In the new
year. The year will commence with q
considerable amount OF domestic stock
at various points ana q comparatively
small amount of foreign material, and a
reasonab bic prospect for all and more OF
both kinds being needed.
NEW YORK
Sales for the week aggregate 2, 1856, 100
pounds, of which 575, 600 pounds were do
nestle and 1,7S1, 900 foreign, making a
total since January of 20, 100, 100 pounds
as compared with 40, 672 200 pounds year
ago. Some good sized sales of carpet
woods have been made during the past
week, ana there is noticeable increae In
the demand for pulled woods. Outside OF
these lines, there is nothing new on the
market.
BOSTON.
The sales OF the week have amounted
to 2. 422, 500 pounds, of which /, 500, 000
pounds have been domestic, and s62, 0OC

will amount to quite 219, 564, 2i7 Lounds,
against 1d1, ,66S, 7S5 pounds last year.
The wool traders here are, to say the
least, as little disturbed as any class OF
merchants, by the panicky incidents OF
last week, resulting from the action OF
Congress in response to the President 8
message, for they are not borrowing
having met their obligations incurred in
July, they are not called upon now to
sacrifice wool tor that purpose.
PHILADELPHIA.
The aggregate sales this week have
been /, 145, 800 pounds; ga, 400 pounds
domestic and All, 400 foreign. Sales since
January /, 1895, have amounted to 90,
211, ,6l5 pounds against 81, 500, TIT pounds
last year. At present the conditions
affecting the wool trade are such that the
trade do not gee any contingency ahead,
which could affect business except in a
favorable way.
ST. LOUIS.
This has been rather quiet week.
Actual sales will amount to about 200, 00C
pounds, including mainly pulled and
territory wools. The indications are that
there is demand, that, though gradual
in showing itself, Is coming right along.

There are very few people even in
New York who know that one woman
who moves prominently among them in
society is n chief of six nations of Indi-

Maxwell, of Elmira. She is prominent
in art circles shining light among lit

In 1904 Mrs. Maxwells father, for
some act of bravery, was admitted into
the Deer clan of the Senecas, and later
his daughter was invited to attend the

rumbling noises were heard, shortly
after followed by a temperance Of
