BOSTON. March 3.-The American Wool
ana Cotton Reporter viii say tomorrow
or the wool trade:
TO outward appearances the wool mar
ket showed some falling OF In activity
the past week, but IL should be remarked
that there IS very good reason TO believe
that a big deal OF quiet trading IN wool
Is going on. the aim OF all concerned be-
Ing TO keep the facts from the public to
the greatest extent possible.
=. While the volume OF the business for
the last six days seems small ia COM
parison with the figures which were given
tor the previous weeks, Il nevertheless
shines by the comparison with the cor
responding week OF last year. Holders of
wool are not showing the slightest dis
position to shade prices. and at slight
concessions very large sales could be
made.
Territories and Australians have re-
ceived liberal attention. particularly the
former. There Is very fair demand for
pulled and secured woods, domestic
secured moving generally above 20 cents.
Stocks of Capes IN the Boston market are
at present very light

the preferred material can inpart.
The only building in the city that is Of
the same material as that which has been
contracted for use In the Colman buildin.
Is IN the Bailey building at Second avenue
and Cherry street. which Is universally
commented on as being one OF the archl-
streets.

the site OF the building. Mr. McRea has
already placed his order for Tensno sand

~ NStn 20 TAKEN OUT OF The quarry, which
IL well equipped for handling the larxe

est bidders for the entire cons,rue-
ton az the time tho figures were taken for
