BOSTON, Jan. 18.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: While the
wool markets have been quieter during the past
week than for long time, they have not been
without some interesting features. One of the
most important of these is the pronounced inquiry
for woods grading a. % and - blood, and this
eign stocks of this description Australian CROSS
breds in particular having been well sought for
fully 1c per ID higher than they were month
ago. Crossbreds had been depressed dispropor-
tionately in comparison with merinos On pulled
woods there is fiTmer feeling. especially on
about carpet wools which the buyers have shown
more disposition TO purchase. The sales of the
lbs domestic and ass, 0O0 lbs foreign. making a
total of 26S5 500 lbs against total of 320,500 lbs
for the previous week, and total of $4,000 lbs
for the corresponding week last year. Sales since
0C0 lbs last year at this time.

auction sales opened with a good attendance.
The offerings We're larger and consisted of 13, $40

and often exceeded the figures realized then. The
continental buyers especially eager to secure
woods suitable for their wants, and the home
trade operated strongly and purchased goods 5 to
10 per cent. above the December sales American
requirements held at very high rates.
Secured stock was quickly disposed of. and cross
breds met with the strongest competition, and
were largely supported the American buyers TAX

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Another Good Day i'm Trade Circles
and Prices Firm.

Like Monday and Tuesday. trade yesterday on
the wholesale streets very satisfactory, and
with the better country roads and cooler weather
big weeks trade is promised In prices there
not important change. In few lines are
prices weak, but on most lines strong and if any
change be made in the future it will be d
hardening of prices without question. The dry
goods, grocery, iron and leather markets are all
in very strong position, and have been so for
some weeks, each week stiffening prices. On
Commission row there is a good trade in progress
for midwinter. Choice apples are hard to get hold
of, and selling at high figures. Oranges and
lemons are plentiful ana easy at quotations.
Poultry is hrmer, as is putter Eggs are weak
a good deal of poor stock coming on the market.
The seed market shows a little more activity,
and prices unchanged.
The local grain market moves along much in
the rut of some days past. Receipts are not
equal to the demand OF local dealers Track

A dispatch last night from Elwood says:
''The Elwood, Anderson & Brazil Railroad
project is revived again. and it is now a
settled fact that with the opening of spring
the work of construction will begin, and
the road completed as soon as possible.
Stockholders of the American Tin-plate
Company. of Elwood, are the promoters.
They filed a document yesterday which is
intended to perfect the title in some of the
property that is owned by the new COM
pany. Arrangements to build it will begin
as early in the spring as practicable. The
purpose of the road is to secure entrance
into the Indiana coal field in Clay and adj
joining counties. so to be able to sup
ply manufacturers at Anderson and ElwOOd
with coal. The tin-plate company with it's
plant here. has too much invested to trust
to the uncertainty of natural gas, and il is
proposed to have this road i'm operation so
as to be prepared for any emergency which
may arise. The new road will parallel the
Panhandle from this city to Anderson. and
will parallel the Chicago & Southeastern
from Anderson to the coal fields"
