BOSlON, VNdIIII @iIIIVIINtIII NUUI anu
Cotton Reporter says:
while the wool maTA$et shows no improve
ment in the volume of bu iness transacted, there
has been a very good call the past week for me-
dium territories and scoured woods and also for
three-eighths- blood heecss. What demand there
is is still for the lower nder Of wools those
grading from n haif-blood down. and there is
little doubt that If La ger selections OF such
woods had been available an increased business
could have been accompli shed Prices firm
everything, suppl ~ show a continued
tendency TO decrease and on quarter-blOOd are
positively strong, with an pward tendency.
The receipts of wool / , Bosom this week
amounted to H. 795 bales. ainst 9.4S2 bales last
week and IL 919 bales last yeSr.
The total receipts since Jan. have been
81 SO bales domestic and i061 bales foreign
wool, against 60 279 bales d. mestic and IS 900
bales foreign wool for the 9rresponding time
year. This is an increase of 1S,2I bales

Coke Tradc Hamp CrCd.

SCOTTDALE, Pa, March She coke trade
is badly hampered by shor tage, the pro-
duction for the past week being over 1900 tons
in excess of the shipping facilities The rapid
increase of the surplus stock in the coke yards
is proving a serious handicap to ope ratJons, and
as result a number Of six-day maRts were
reduced TO a hve-day rum and one or two plants
were cut down half time. causing a drop in
production of 200 tons.
