that your Unsuitable desire for bring

you, was so strong that you could
not control it, and you were more To
be pitied than blamed, but recent
events con~clusively prove, to my
mind, that it is the result of the
natural immoral trend OF your mind
which has so long been confined to
the one groove that there Is no
switching it, either with a switch
back or switch-forward, and yet you
hold yourself up to the s~earchlight

there is no more comparison than
there is between heaven and hell.

The Sisuatiou Favors q General Advance I.
Prices.

According to the Boston CONNER.
ctal Bulletin, a recognized wool
market authority, the warehouses oil
eastern wool centers are not carry
ing abnormally large stocks. The
amount on hand Is somewhat larger
than al the beginning of the year
1898, but against the surplus Ia the
fact that the domestic clip ia much
smaller than in that year, and the
further fact that American wooden
mills are more generally in opera
ton.
The Our of the market during
the past five years appears in the
following exhibit, the quotations
being those in the Boston market for
ordinary medium territory secured on
the dates mentioned:
Aug. 81, lS96. &c
Feb. 20,
rep. ~,
While the market quotation for
this particular grade has risen about
$50 per cent during the past IL
months, it is still below the figure of
1898. Whether it will reach the "a
cent mark at an early date is a prob
lem which is just now worrying
those who deal in wool.
The situation favors a general ad-
vance in wool prices in American
markets. The values now ruling are
in most cases about four cents per
secured pound below the figures at
which importations can be made,
and with foreign prices slowly ad-
vancing the gap must soon close on
this side. Those who predict an
early advance In the American wool
market evidently have a sound ba-
sis for their coincidence.
