Wool Market.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin will say
OF the wool market; The small sales are the
result Of a spasmodic agony on the part OF
American mills, who have seen foreigners
sweep into our cloth market and carry away
large orders for clay worsteds and fine fancies
at phenomenally low prices. One OF the for
eign firms OF Boston just had lis invoices
marked up. There has. however, been no
drop In wool. It is owned at too high prices
10 sacrifice, and 1t is held in strong hands,
who hope that European prosperity may ad-
vance prices again at the London auctions in
September. Wool Is to-day lower than II was
a year ago at this time. Ohio Xxx sells at IS
@l9c to-day, against 20 Lac u year ago.
Ierritory fine stuple sells at 37c clean against

tation, and as he crosses the threshold
he gives the girl, for whom he has long
cherished a deep regard, a couple of
smacks that cause the old folks in the
kitchen to question each other as to the
origin of the noise. Light drinks are
served. That's what the young man
does. The young girl waits.
But the old folks do not forget that
the day is the first one of the year So
after the work of the household is over
they put on their best bib and tucker
and hitch up "Monplaisir, and they
start out and begin the rounds of max
ing calls, stopping at each house, tho
old man kissing the neighbours old wom-
an, and vice versa rinsing it down with

In the isle of Man curious belief
and custom existed till the middle of
this century. In each home the house
wife smoothed the ashes over the kitch-
en- floor just before stepping into bed
If there were found in the morning on
the surface of the ashes anything re-
sembling the print that pointed toward
the door, it indicated a death in the
family within the year. But if the heel
of the footprint were toward the door
it was sure proof that the family
would be increased.

groaned aloud.

The gale howled about the old house
and ratified doors and windows, but Mi

repassed, some laughing, some cursing
but he did not look out upon them.
Noon came and he sat there with pencil
in his fingers and paper before him.
The winter day drew to a close, and
night came down, but no light shone
from his window. At midnight he sat
where noon found him, at daylight
where the winds of midnight had blown

feet. When noon came again, some one
opened his door and cried out that Miscr
