his man in the first round, when. after
a fierce exchange of blows, McGovern
landed a heavy blow on Sprague's solar
plexus that laid him on the floor.
Sprague went down three times in the
first round, slipping once, and remain
ing down another time until nine sec
onds were called off. For the remain
der of the round he managed to keep
away from McGovern. Sprague landed
two hard blows on McGovern. one of
them on the jaw, which staggered
Terry.

former magnitude under two or three
years time. Meantime, recent reports
indicate a most unpromising season and
a still further reduction in wool yield
for next year.
During the past few years the stocks
Of wooden goods in this country were
allowed to run down to an extent never
before witnessed, so that the usually
average holding of dealers throughout
the country has to be made up to it's
natural level, while, with the general
prosperity of the times both at home
and abroad, the demand on the manu-
facturers is of such unusual magnitude
that the deliveries are already largely
in arrears. The total new home sup
plies of the United States at the pres
ent rate of consumption will be no more
than equal to one-half of the demand
in 1900 of which, outside of the floating
stock in hand, none will be available
until the middle of the year, and then
only perhaps half with the balance to
come in about the end of the year.
The necessitated supply of foreign
wool required will reasonably need an
importation of some 3O0,0OO,000 pounds
or more, as it is not probable that the
average amount of floating stock of
wool on hand will be likely at any time
to average less than at present. The
United States is now the cheapest wool
market in the world, when it might
reasonably be assumed that it should
be the highest, depending as it must for
more than double the amount of its
home supply for consumption, with it's
tariff on all imported wool except car
pet of not less than II cents per pound.
Yet we witness the anomalous condi-
ton of. a scarcity of wool and the
cheapness of the Boston market and in
spite of the tariff the out shipment dur
ing the past two weeks of 1,5OO, 600
pounds of wool for a foreign market
AT the same time we witness an adj
vance in Australian of 5 cents per
pound on the annual clip there-now in
market-which is the principal supply
of the world for next year and for
which a general and spirited bidding is
taking place, and it is generally con-
ceded that the London sales to take
place the last of this month will show
an advance of from Is to 20 per cent.
over the last ones in October,
OF course, cotton is used more or less
by manufacturers of goods in combi
nation with wool, as it always has been,
now more than ever, but cotton is in
admissible in many lines, and cannot be
in any sense looked on as a substitute. !
Wool is not high. In 1871 California
spring wool, in the grease, reached 81
cents, and the top price for a similar
quality to-day would not be over %
cents, and the average wool prices in
1872 were double those of to-day In
1880 the phenomenal rise was nearly as
large. Within a year the top price has
been down as low as IA cents on the
quality now worth % cents and which
sold in 1872 as high as 60 cents.-J.

WOOL MARKET ANOMALY.
Still Higher Prices May be Looked
For

As wool has been about the last COM
modify to advance. and is now ex-
periencing an unusual activity, the
views of wool grower who has had ex-
perience for some years in the markets,
and who has lately made a canvass of
the conditions, may be of some inter-
est
The phenomenally large sales of the
past three or four weeks much exceed
ing in amount any ever before wit
messed in the same period of time, and
at prices higher than those before ex-
isting show that some apprehension ex-
lists as to future supplies.
In this regard it may be noted that
three-quarters of all the wool business
of the United States is central in Bos-
ton, which city, in the magnitude of it's
wool handling, is secondary only to that
of London. 1t is estimated by compe-
tent authorities that the present con-
sumption of wool in this country
amounts to 100000 pounds per
month, or 60O,OOO,OOO pounds per an
mum, as every available wooden mill is
running to it's full extent, and orders
are booked for months ahead; and so
ers are, as a whole, stocked in the raw
material but for a few months.
The floating supply in dealers hands
at present of wool may be fairly esti-
mated at 150,OOO00O pounds, and the
total annual product of wool in the
United States in 1899 may be estimated
at 212,OO0,000 pounds, which is 20 per
cent, or 60,OO0,000 pounds, less than
the maximum yield of 1894. The clip
of 1OO,OOO,OOO pounds of the Transvaal
and South Africa may or may not be
affected by the present war, while of
domestic woods, about one-half may
come upon the market by next June
Thus the available stock of wool of the
country. outside of manufacturers
holdings, is more than three months
behind the normal holding of this period
OF the year, being the amount which is
usually held in February, when the
winter demand has been supplied.
During the past four or five years a
very considerable shortage has occurred
in the worlds product Beside the
diminution in the United States. the
Australias have suffered largely, owing
to seasons of unprecedented drouth.
The product of the Australias four
years ago was estimated at ,961 ,229
bales, but in 1896 the first excessive
drouth occurred, diminishing the pro-
duct to the extent of 10000 bales; 1887.
1898 and 1899 followed and were
equally disastrous, and during those
years the loss has amounted to 755, 900
bales, and the present clip belonging to
1899 and 1900 is expected to show a
considerable reduction from the pre-
ceding year.
The loss in ol-bearing sheep may
be roughly estimated at 50000,0O0 sup
Piled more or less by breeding. From
this falling off there has been no re-
covery, and under the best Of climatic
conditions it is not expected that the
Australian clip can possibly reach it's
