pretty light stock. There is some
eight months wool here, for which
about SOC, clean, is a fair price. Fall
woods bring 15h@ 16c in the grease,
costing, clean, about 45c, and some
business has been done the past week
on that basis.
A small business is reported in Cali
fornia wool, but there is no snap to
the demand. About $4,000 pounds
have been sold since a week ago, but
the movement has fallen far short of
expectations entertained early in the
season. The best northern woods have
brought SOC, clean, and middle coun-
ties have sold at 47@48c. Some bust
Mess has been put through at 32@33c
clean, for secured baled defective.
Average spring woods, secured in
bales, bring 45@46c, clean, and best
fall, 42@43c.
Oregon woods are very quiet, there
being practically no business to report
in them. Nice staple woods are worth
5O@52c clean, and clothing about 4Sc.
Receipts and Shipments.
The receipts of wool at Boston this
week, last week and for the CORE
spending week of last year. were as

INIT. wool, IN 1On ho1oo dom 0cfio

have been 56,184 bales domestic and
4,6OO bales foreign wool, against 49,,
844 bales domestic and 10,795 bales
foreign wool for the corresponding
time last year. This is an increase
of 9,34O bales domestic and an in
crease of 1877 bales foreign.
J Shipments for the week ending
February 8 were as follows: Tues

thing, and it has been on the whole
very quiet.
Prices Remain Firm.
The market is considered to be in
a good, healthy situation, however,
with indications that we shall go over
into the new year with smaller stocks
of old wool than seemed possible at
one time.
Prices are firm all along the line,
and where sales have been made, they
have been at exactly last weeks level
of quotations. In the case of quarter
and three-eighths blood wool the ten
dency of prices seems to be upward
rather than downward.
Manufacturers have apparently CIV
en- up the idea of hammering prices
down to a lower level, and when they
really mean to buy wool, there is not
much haggling over prices; but where
they do not want wool, it is very diff
cult to sell to them, even if conces-
sions should be made by the seller,
which the latter positively declines to
do, as a rule.
Territories.
The inquiry for territory woods has
ruled decidedly quieter. A number OF
the larger mills are fairly we'll sup
piled, and sales have been mostly con-
fined, during the past week, to small
or medium sized lots, ranging from
so, 900 to 100, 900, and occasionally to
100000 pounds.
The demand has extended to about
all grades, especially those grading
half blood and below, although there
is a very fair business to be noted in
fine and fine medium. There is a call
for good fine staple wool, but this par
ticular grade is not in plentiful sup
ply. In fact, it is not easy to find
large lines of nice staple woods.
Nice fine staple would readily sell
at 55c, clean. Clothing woods sell at
5O@53c for fine, some strictly fine
Nevada bringing 52@53c, and at 400
4Sc for fine medium. Staple fine me.
dunn brings, 48@5Oc. Medium woods
command 45@46c, and quarter bloods
43@44c. Low woods bring 41@42c.
There has been a fair call for high
half blood, and we note n sale OF
$4,000 pounds of Dakota of that grade
at Acc, clean.
Among the transactions of the week
are reported 10000 pounds of Wyom
ing, heavy fine, fine medium and me
dunn, mostly on the half-blood order
at 15Ac in the grease, to cost, clean
. Acc. Another sale was made of $4,000
pounds of Wyoming in the 6rigina
: bags, grading mostly half-blood, a
15kc, to cost 45c, clean. One sal
: of 1OO,O 900 pounds of Utah, in the orig
y inal bags, grading fine, fine medium
and %half-blood, was put through a
= 15Ac, costing, clean, 45c; and anothe
sale of 10000 pounds of Utah,
o little better wool, at 15kc.
Other sales include three-eighth
Colorado at 17Hc, costing. close t
4 45c, clean, and three-eights Utah a

Herbert Spencer Warned Japanese.

LONDON, Feb. 8.-The Times pub
hshed yesterday some very interesting
facts from Toxic about the great ad-
miration in which the late Herbert
Spencer was held by the Japanese peo-
pie.
In reply to a request of Baron Ken
taro Kaneko, the ilIustrious philoso-
pher wrote on Aug. 26, 1892, his opin-
ions on the outlook in the far East.
Il think the Japanese policy should
be-" he wrote, that of keeping Amer
leans and Europeans as much as possi-
Die at arms length. In presence of
the more powerful races your position
is one of chronic danger, and you
should take every precaution to give
as little foothold as possible to for
eigners.
1T seems to me that the only forms
OF intercourse which you may with
advantage permit are those which are
indispensable for the exchange of COM
modities-importatio and expectation
OF physical and mental products. No
further privileges should be allowed to
people of other races, and especially
10 people of more powerful races, than
is absolutely needfuI for the achieve
ment of these ends
Respecting the intermarriaee of for
eigners and japanese, which you say is
now very much agitated among your
scholars and politicians ana which you
say is one of the most difficult-prob-
Iems,' my reply is that, as nationally
answered, there is no difficulty at all.
1t should be positively forbidden. There
Is abundant proof, alike furnished by
the 1ntermarriage of human races and
the interbreeding of animals, that when
the varieties mingled diverge beyond a
certain slight degree the result is in
eVltably bad one in the long run"
