A decidedly increased volume of
business has been transacted in ter
ritory woods the past week. Some
large lines. including both old and
G woods, have been taken by con-
sumers, the total sales amounting to
several million pounds Manufacture

slightly higher prices than they were.
and quite an amount of fine medium
territory clothing wool. especially
Utah and Idaho, has been taken az
a clean cost of about soc. These
woods were good, lofty, open woods.
and in good condition. The Idaho
woods. in fact, in lightness of shrink.

very favorably with any other of the
territorial woods, and for that reason
have brought a high price in the
grease. Some Wyomings have also
