American Buyers Responsible for Ad-
vance-Little Doing in Domes-
tics-Dealers Cautious.

tureless, says the Boston Commercial
Bulletin. There have been several
good-sized buyers present, but their
operations, aside from the transactions
Of one house, have been confined to
very modest limits.
Manufacturers are not particularly
we'll stocked, but they are running
close and have to use extra caution
in the purchase of raw material. About
the only bullish point is London, where
crossbred woods have advanced till
they are now Z to 10 per cent higher
than the January rates. 1t is signifi-
cant that the advance is said to be
due to the operations of American
buyers. The crossbred business has
been a successful one of late. About
all of the local spot supply has been
cleaned up and considerable of what
is on the way has been disposed of.
The woods are coming in al just the
right time, when the supply of domes-
tic medium is almost exhausted and
the demand for medium and low stock
appears to be as urgent as ever. Any
thing around a 40s quality will sell
quickly.
Strong in Sympathy.
The Boston market is strong in
sympathy with London, but no higher
prices are quoted on domestic or for
eign stock. Better than 26c for one
quarter blood domestic cannot be OBJ
tanned and the comparatively large
supply OF. fine medium territory does
not move freely on the secured basis
of 48c. B super pulled woods, of
which the supply is small and for
which the demand is good, does not
advance. Sellers have found it i'm
possible to life prices. The indefnable
something still holds the market in
check.
1t is not surprising that most Bos-
ton dealers r weighing carefully the
chances for successful operations in
the new clip. The statistical position
is strong. Loft after loft is empty.
But supreme court decisions, the I'M
settled feeling that always exists dur
ing a presidential canvass and the
not very encouraging trade reports
from different sections of the country
r causes of conservatism. 1t may
be a consignment year. The Arizona
clip vas consigned in larger amount
than last year Still there was quite
a rush this week for the early shorn
fat sheep wool around Chicago and
st. Paul, with 13@15c paid and some
thing higher for medium clips.
The Mills.
There is nothing new from the mills
on the mems veal goods market.
There is a quiet tone to the latter,
but it is expected to be quiet until
the duplicate demand develops. In the
meantime the mills are running, some
being wholly and others partially en-
ployed. With a good duplicate bust
ness there should be no difficulty in
keeping machinery fairly we'll occu

1t appearing to the board that the
change in the route of county road

derived to the public, it was, upon
motion, decided to deny the petition
until such time as the petitioners
should, at their own expense and with
out cost to the county construct such
portion of road and place same in a
condition for travel satisfactory to the
