an amusing provision with which one
OF the colleges eighteenth century

very generous bequest to the Cam.

Unfortunately no account OF Mr..

can be little doubt that the occasion
was made solemn by the presence Of a
large number Of "chlef mournors" and

efforts In inducing the vestry OF the

Reviewing the wool market for the
past week, the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter says:
There is no improvement to be not
ed as yet in the demand for territor-
les. Some Of the mills have been
looking the market over and have
manifested a disposition to take on
a little wool IL the price could be
made right. In very few instances
a slight concession has been made on
old stock which holders have been
anxious to move. but there has been
generally no weakening of the market
and prices are practically unchanged
at the former level-43c to 45c, clean,
for fine medium clothing, 47c to 4Sc
for fine, and 48c to SOC for fine sta
pie. Medium woods are quotable at
3Sc to 4Oc, and some sales have been
made at those quotations. The bulk
oil the stock of desirable woods held
here commands full prices and offers
at slightly reduced quotations have,
in many cases, failed to secure the
woods. The new Arizona woods have
not yet been disposed of. They could
not be, except at a loss on most of
them. In Utah woods are being bought
for eastern account at lie to 13c in
the grease, which shows an advance
of 1c to &c over last year. A little Of
the Wyoming clip is being contracted
for on the sleeps backs at lie to
12hc, around Casper. Mountain
Home, Idaho, woods have been bought
for Boston account at prices ranging
from 1O1ac to 11hc. The clean prices
paid for new territory woods laid
down, as before stated. range from
45c to soc.
Sales for the week, at Boston,
1,947,OOO pounds.
In the west the wool men are out
in force. and are buying woods about
as fast as they are offered. without
much regard as to what they are like.
ly to get for them when they come to
sell them at the seaboard; but here
1t is very difficult to sell the wool
and this difficulty has been intensi'
fed by the extension of the strike,
which now includes the Washington
mills. The mills generally were well
stocked with wool when the strike
began, but except for apprehension OF
labor troubles and actual strikes In
the mills of the big combine. 1t is felt
that consumers would by this time
have been buying wool more literally;
but no substantial improvement is an
ticipated now until the strike situation
presents a decidedly more favorable
aspect. Its natural tendency is to
make everyone cautious and conserv'
ative in purchasing.
