that while the stocks in the three leading mar
kets are H. lS2 $50 pounds smaller than year
ago. the stocks throughout the entire country are

This may be illustrated by the fact that the re-
ceipts of domestic wool at Boston this year have
amounted to only sOs 600 lbs. against 16O91s 400
in 1897, a falling off of practically 80 per cent.
In fact. the sales in Boston during 1897 were

All looking for an Improvement in the de-
mand for fabrics, which, If 1t develops will bring
a large volume Of business into the wool market
