The market continues to be without
much life, and the poorer qualities of
wool fail to find a purchaser at all. I'm

bid at all. The market has been a
great disappointment to most OF the
woolgrowers. who expected better prices
than last year, having been led to believe
that the nomination Of Mckinley would
induce liy ly speculation in the wool
market and cause the price to advacce
Instead of that it has dropped nearly
cents from last years prices. Speaking
OF this fact, one of the wool buy
ers said to TRIBUNE reporter, that
it is a fact we'll understood
in speculative circles in the east
that no tariff bill can pass the United
States senate, as long as the silver sena
tors control it, without an amendment
providing for free coinage being attached
and, this being the case, even in the
event OF Mckinley's election, there is nc
chance of anything being done for sew
eral years, at least, to come.
