A SLIGHT INCREASE IN SALES
MARKS THE WEEK.
CHANGE is EXPECTED SOON
Heavy Buyers Making Inquiry And
Deals for Territories Pending
Prices Little Changed.

Last weeks wool sales on the Bos-
ton market showed an increase over
those of the preceding week totaling
3.515,00O pounds, while those of the
previous week totaled only 2,98 900
pounds. In last weeks sales were in.
Guided 100000 pounds of territories
at from 16c to 21c.
The market is still quiet as a whole.
although for certain descriptions of
stock there is a good, steady inquiry.
This applies especially, of course, to
medium grades, says the American
Wool and Cotton reporter.
Bright Woods Are Active.
Bright woods have been ~conspicu,
ously active owing to the quite liberal
takings of a we'll known New Hamp-
shire concern, whose representative
has purchased some good sized lines
of half, three-eighths and quarter
blood stock, comprising, it is reported,
Missouri, Wisconsin and Indiana
woods. The same concern is also re-
ported to have purchased of Irish
woods and of medium territories to
some extent.
Figuring on Territory.
One or two Philadelphia concerns
have participated in the purchasing of
medium grades of stock in fleeces and
territories, and in the latter some
large business is said to be pending,
involving the sale possibly, of several
million pounds, which may or may not
be contaminated, although the chances
are at this writing, that it will be.
Certain large consumers, whose adj
vent into the market has been ex,
pected long before this time, have
not yet made their appearance, but
others have, although their takings,
except in the case referred to, have
been of only moderate quantities OF
wool during the past week.
Outlook for Territories.
The inquiry is still Tor the woods
grading half blood and below rather
than for those grading above, but ac-
cording to the statements OF some
territorial houses, the trend of the de-
mand seems to be more towards the
fine and fine medium than it was.
Medium territories are getting with
in comparatively small compass, some
houses reporting that they have prac-
tically no sizeable amounts of this
class of territory left. If the price
could be made right undoubtedly large
quantities of fine medium territory
could have been disposed of the past
week. Holders of such woods are not
apparently willing to grant much CON
c%ession, however.
The market for these woods rather
favors the buyer and it is possible to
purchase on slightly more favorable
terms than was the case three weeks
ago, say, but purchasers of strictly

MUST RELET CONTRACT
ON ACCOUNT OF ERRORS
Board Calls for New Bids for
Textbooks Because of
Illegalities.

At meeting of the State Board of Edu-
cation held in this city yesterday it was
decided TO advertise for bids for furnishing
Biographies, arithmetics, readers and copy
books for use in the public schools of the
State. The present contracts with pub
fishers expire next year. The boards ac-
ton was based on an opinion given by the
attorney general to the effect that the ar
rangement made by the board in 1902 with
the present publishers regarding the revi-
sion of the books mentioned was illegal
At the meeting yesterday the board de-
cided to open bids on Jan. IA and award the
book contract then. The Indiana School
Book Company, of Indianapolis, has the
contract for furnishing the readers. Edward
Hawkins, who is at the head of the COM
pany, said last night: Our company has re-
vised the first and second readers under
the supervision of the State Board, and at
the proper time our books will be presented
for adoption.
In an opinion to the board Assistant At
torney General Hadley pointed out that
among other omissions the board failed to
have 1t understood how much compensation
the persons who did the revising were to re-
ceive. While the publishers pay for the
work, ii is maintained that the Board of
Education should have ascertained how
much is to be paid.
Among other matters of routine the board
commissioned high schools at Greenfield,
Cambridge City, Mount Vernon, Muncie,
Andrews and Lima.

MAYOR AND HIS HELPERS
POSE BEFORE CAMERA
Photographers Invade the City
Hall and Make Everybody
Smile.
ALL APPEAR VERY BUSY

Every office in the City Hall had its pic
ture taken yesterday. An itinerant photog-
rapher did the work, with the expectation
that the city employees would be glad to see
themselves in their new surroundings
through the eyes of the camera, that they
would buy the picture when made.
The modus operandi is something like this
The photographer with his assistant, en-
tiers an office briskly, in very busy man
ner, and tells the clerks that he wants to
take their pictures. assuring them that it
won't cost them a cent.
Giving their consent, Reluctantly Cd, the
clerks seat themselves at their desks, with
pens poised in hands. looking very much
absorbed in their work.
The photographer sets his machine, ad-
Justs the black cloth, aims the muzzle d.
rectly at the clerks and gives the order.
Then he places a powder In a pan on the
end of a stick. ignited the powder and holds
II aloft with his left hand. In a sfckly green
light the clerks keep very quiet until the
green light is gone, the man pokes at some
thing In his camera and the thing Is done.
Then, in about week the man comes
back with his pictures and strikes the city
employees for % cents each in exchange for a
picture of themselves in their official capa-
city.

discharged several miners for joining the

mines, several hundred miners being af-
fected at each place. Mr.. Vasey held n con-

termine the course that will be pursued in
the trouble.
In answer to the question if anything
had been heard in the Tennessee district
about the operators intending to make "a
per cent. decrease in the wages of miners
beginning next year, Mr.. Vasey said that
no such report was abroad, and that there
could be no truth in IL. as the operators
would not make ii public until the con-
vention II they intended to make de-
crease.
Both Mr.. Vasey and Secretary Wilson
said that the report from Terre Haute that
the operators intended to make n 10 per
cent. decrease In wages ut the end of this
month could not possibly be true because
in doing that the operators would be break
ing their contract, which is good until
April /.
Mr.. Wilson did not believe that the opera-
tors would break their contract. 1--WE don't
