Dun's Review says OF the market for
Utah According to Coates Brothers
circular the average OF one hundred
grades OF wool was 1725 cents on oct.
lst slight advance over the average
OF Sept. LIST, and q better gain still as
compared with the low level CT 1906
during the worst depression of mid
summer. The extent OF the decline Is
apparent when the average OF 1854 n
year ago is remembered. Market con-
dtions are nov most satisfactory, a
brisk movement continuing on old or

London sale had a supporting influence.
