THE WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, June 10.-The Boston Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool mar ket:
 The market was more quiet this week than last. This Is accounted for by the slackenins up in the demand for wools to be used in Gov ernment clothing. The demand from the regu- lar sources has not increased nor diminished has been of material advantage to the market Dealers have placed their wool on a rock bot tom level and slowly building up from If There have been sales of fine medium territory on basis from 44c and 45c. At prices being paid in Utah and other sections in the West if will cost from 46c to 47c to land the new wool here. without considering profit or interest foreign combing at 62c and 63c have brought no sales. The sales of the week are e6l 900 pounds domestic and 5000 pounds foreigns against eisn last week and 1,65l, 4o0 pounds domestic and 7.133.0oo pounds foreign for the same week last year.

EXPLANATION.

Tn arrow flies with the wind. The top fig ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the last twelve hours. 1sobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; isOtherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high" means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres sure and is usually preceded and accompa nled by cloudy weather and rains Lows usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast and the isobars extend north and south along the coast. rain Is probable; but when the low is inclosed with isohars of marked curvature. rain south of Oregon Is i'm probable. With a high in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast, warmer weather mey be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result
