BIG BOOB IN WOOL.
FIeeced Product 4dUanced 10 Per
Cent-Eager Buying

The activity in woods apparent in the earlier part
~ - season has now grown to full sized WOOL
( boom. Buyers taking woods with greater
avidity than ever in the history of the wool trade
The price OF medium grade 1eeced woods has al
vanced 10 per cent in the local market in the !as'
two weeks and special varieties have advanced
even further. Sellers having no difhculty IN
disposing OF their holdings but are having trouble
IA obtaining wool The producing interests are
gradually growing frrner in their views. ana less
anxious to sell the conditions develop more
and more in their favor.
Charles G. salter. of the Wool Exchange Building
who has been engaged in the wool business TOT
over thirty years said yesterday that ne eN-
pected the present boom to continue. and that
prices would be further advanced. both for wool
and the wool products. within the near future
During my entire experience 1 have never seen
buyers eager tn purchase wool. he sald "Ihe
present boom is not like the which the trade
experienced in 1899. that was largely due TO
speculative dealings. The activity now Is due to
natural conditions. There is little old stock on
hand, and the inportatons OF foreign wool In com
petition with the domestic product is not to be
reckoned with. as the duty protects the domestic
product. The fact is that the trade is just now
beginning to feel the full benefit of the duty of II
wool which originally assessed In
1897
In that year the last when wool was admitted
free. there immense quantity Of foreign
wool imported into this country. making urGe
surplus Of stock Two years later in the 1899 boom,
there about four hundred million pounds Of this
foreign wool in stock here. These stocks have been
gradually diminishing from year to year. however,
and the consumption OF wool has been greatly in
creasing. Now there is little OF this wool left so
little. in fact. that II does not form factor in the
trade.
The bullsh interests in the United States say
that the product Of this country will fall about
20 per cent less than the product of the preced-
ing year. which was 80 10000 pounds lighter than
The average. Some OF the bulls place the shortag"
of woods in the United States this season as high
as 100000 pounds.
Producers receiving the highest price FOR
their woods which they have got for many years,
and naturally dealers must dispose Of their hold
ings TO the manufa cturers at profit. While manu-
facturers asserting that they cannot AFFORD to
pay higher prices for wool. it looks as though they
will have TO do So and that they will have to ad-
vance the prices on manufactured goods 10 make
profit

Interest.

tBY TEL EGEAPfI TO THE tribune
Baltimore. July 22-The Goulds. through the
Western Maryland Railroad Company. the tide
water extension of the Wabash, have made an
offer for the States intefes. in the old Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal extending from Cumberland Mo-
10 Georgetown. d. c. Vice-President Landstreet OF
The Weste- Maryland, In letter 10 Governor war
field. says tiat his company IS now engaged III
constructing a connecting line between Cherry Run
and Cumberland. which crosses the canal at sew
eral points. the ownership of the States interest
in the canal would be aid TO the railroad in
acquiring the necessary rights of way The au-
thority sell the States interest is vested in the
Board of Public Works. to which the Governor
has referred the proposition. No price is named
Consideration OF the offer has been deferred until
August {. The canal is in the hands of receivers
and operated by surviving trustees of the bond
holders of 1874 Should the trustees agree to join
the State and ask foY a sale, ii could he effected
Such would force the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania to outbid the Western Mary
land. The State surrendered its control of the
property when 1t waived its lien in favor of the
repair bonds controlled by Baltimore and Ohio in
terests. The State sell it's direct interest but
such would only he of an equity nature. II would
however. be OF value to the Wabash in Its suits
