WOOL-Boston, Oct 1.-THE CONNER
cial Bulletin tomorrow will say on the
wool trade of the United States: The
Increased shipments do not represent a.
large sales the market is decidedly
quiet, though dealers are sold SO far
ahead that quotations are particularly
strong. Nearly 100000 pounds of new
Montana, mostly staple fine medium. at
1Sc, has been moved this week, and 300
bales of South American quarter-blood
CiOSS-UEeUS were SOlQ at nc, the highest
price paid this year. The new wool sea-
son has opened in Australia with sales
at Adelaide at % per cent higher than
last years opening. The use of wool
IN the United States is markedly increas-
ing. The reaction from fieece-lined cot
ton underwear to Merino and all wool
garments is worthy of notice Knitting
mills that have not been in the wool

secured woods this week. The receipts of
