facturers show no speculative DISPOSE
ton and appear content to meet their
immediate needs. The prices obtained
for spring woolens was low compared
with the cost of wool, and manufac-
turers are doing all they can to pre-
vent the latter from advancing In cost

Ohio and 24@24ac. for others, these
woods being in very moderate supply,
and some holders are asking nc. above
these figures. Half-blood unwashed
fleeces continue scarce and firm. with

Duck Shooting at the Lake.

Guy Stafford shot large gray duck
at Lake Spofford last week--a rare
bird in this region, its home being near
Lake Michigan where it grows fat on
the wild rice growing in the marshes
along the bayous. This was very fine
specimen, much larger than the black
ducks that rest their wings here while
migrating. Many of the latter have
been taken here in the past week or
more, some days the sound being like
rapid firing gun practise, one party
firing over 800 shots, it is said, and Sc
curing ducks.
