The wool market continues very firm,
with the tendency still towards higher
prices. Stocks are in good shape, and
there is an active inquiry, but holders are
Indifferent as to selling at present values,
and quite a number Of good offers have
been rejected the past week. Manufactur-
ers in need Of wool are buying and paying
asking prices, without hesitation. They
are fairly well supplied with orders, but
have little wool on hand. Territory woods
are still quoted at 33034c. for secured fine
and fine mediums, while choice staple lots
are held up to SIC. Fleeces continue firm,
with offerings small and sales moderate.
Australian woods continue very firm and
active, with the outlook for higher prices.

LAND COURT DECISIONS.


The United States court of private land
claims, with Chief Justice Reed presiding
and all the associate justices present, re-
sumed work this morning, at the federal
building, says the New Menican. Opinions
were handed down as follows:
In the Ojo del Apache grant case. where
in May Hays claimed eleven leagues Of
land, 10 San Miguel county, Judge Fuller
handed down the opinion of the court,
holding that the grant, having been made
by an alcalde, and not In pursuance with
the governors grant, was void. The petit
tion was accordingly dismissed.
In the Miguel and Santiago Montoya
grant case, involving a tract Of land in Rio
Arriba county, Judge Murray handed
down an opinion of the majority OF the
court, confirming the same. Judge Sluss
dissented.
In the opinion Of the court by Judge
Reed, the Lo de Padilla grant in Bernalillo
county was confirmed to the Isleta Indians.
The Canada de los Mestenas grant case,
involving lands in Taos county, is on trial,
Mr.. Catron representing the claimants.

Probably q Murder.

A few days ago, THE Optic gave an ac-
count of a woman being found dead and
badly burned, up near Ell Porvenir. In
vestigation shows that the woman's name
was Trinidad Frescas de Bustos and she
had lived with her husband at Ell Begoso.
According to her husbands story, she had
left home with a man, some days previous
to the time when she was found dead, who
had threatened her life when she protested
to the proposition to accompany him. The
body is now in the old town, at the home
of Anastacio Flores, awaiting some ar
r~angements for burial. One whole side of
the body is badly burned. and it certainly
does seem that a competent physician
should make a thorough examination Of
the body before it is buried and ascertain
il death was caused by the burning, or
whether other violence had been used.

cases.
or course, il the appeal is dismissed, the
case will be Immediately sent back to the
