Wool.

BOSTON, Sept. 16.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of wool:
The tone of the market continues more favor
able 1t seems to be generally taken for granted
that prices have touched bottom, and that the
speculative position of wool is strong at the pres
ent buying figures. Prices generally well
maintained and offers for large blocks of wool
nave been refused, because of differences of 12c
to 1c pound in holders and buyers prices.
Good blocks of fleece and Territory woods have
been sold. For foreign stock the demand
tinues limited. Sales of the week in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia aggregate 6,66S, 800
pounds. of which 6,023, 800 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign Sales since Jan.
aggregate 1884, 265 $50 pounds. against 241.2S, s94
pounds during the corresponding period of last
week.
ANTWERP, Sept. 16.-There good at
tendance at the River Platte wool auction sales
to-day and an active demand, owing TO a favor

RATE WAR IN SIGHT

Chicago. Sept. 24.-The Rock Island
and Atchison roads today sent to Com
missioner AIidgely of the Western
Freight association notice of their inten-
ton to withdraw from that organization
at the expiration of ten days. Both
roads state. that as some roads of the
association have pursued tactics that are
a virtual abandonment of the agreement
they can see no cause of remaining mem
bers of an agreement that has no bind
ing force. Both roads gave notice today
of a reduction of about 10 per cent on
from Missouri river points to the Mis-
sissippi river. made to meet cuts secretly
made by other roads. This action will
probably be met by all roads in this ter
ritOry.
