The Wool Trade.

Boston, Mass, Sept. Z, 1905.
A very fair volume of business
has been done III the wool market
since our last report, notwith.
standing the interruption to trade
caused by the holiday. Trans.
actions are not quite as large as
they were week or two ago, but
distributed among the dealers
than it was, and the purchasing
has been participated in by quite
variety of consumers, including
the worsted mills, the felt makers,
blanket men, some of the knit
ting mills, and few well-known
worsted spinners. The takings
comprised several round lots of
territory and Texas woods, also
some Australian and New Zealand
crossbreds, and moderate-sized
lots of secured and pulled woods.
Aside from some weakness shown
in quarter blood and low woods,
the tone of the market as to
prices is strong.
The receipts of wool in Boston
this week amounted to 14,031
bales, against 26,066 bales last
week and 1910 bales last year.
The total receipts since January
have been 432 ,G22 bales domestic
and 130,351 bales foreign wool,
against 502, 1854 bales domestic
and 1919, SGl bales foreign for the
corresponding time last year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 6,4lO, 900 pounds of
domestic and $4,000 pounds of
foreign, making n total of 6,067,.
600 pounds, against a total of
$780, 900 for the previous week
and a total of 6,770,000 for the
corresponding week last year.
The sales since January | amount
to 17l,974,O0O pounds, against
100, 1876, 900 for the corresponding
time last year.

n6 Iss MARIE czERNEY. daught

M ISS MARIE CZERNEY, daughter
Ml of a prominent resident of Bon
Homme County, had a thrilling
adventure with monster snake, as the
result of which she narrowly escaped
death by blood poison. by stepping on a
rusty nail while striving to escape from
the snake, says the Sioux Falls cor
respondent Of the ST. Paul Dispatch.
The young woman. with a pail in her
hand, went to her favorite Jersey for
the purpose of doing her evening milk
ing. During the day the animal had
been picketed in tame grass plat and
at the time of milking still bore the
picket line. The Jersey appeared to be
greatly annoyed by flies and mosquitoes
and changed it's position a number of
times.
AS the COW changed position Miss
Czerney would follow 1t up and during
this operation her ankle became en-
tangled as she supposed In the picket
rope. The COW seemed to grow quiet
er and after milking steadily for sew
eral minutes Miss Czerney became con-
cerned at the small amount OF milk in
the pail.
Fearing that the pail had sprung q

tempted to raise it, when she was hor-
rifed by the discovery that a monster
snake had its head in the pail. the
weight of the reptile making it diff
cult to raise the pail from the ground.
The snake evidently had been drinking
the milk about as fast as 1t poured
into the pail.
Greatly frightened by the discovery
Miss Czerney gave a scream. sprang to
her feet and made a dash for her home.
But she had taken only a few steps
when she made the further discovery
that instead OF her ankle being en-
tangled in the picket rope it was the
snake which was entwined around her
ankle. The reptile was coiled so
tightly and was of such weight that
the young lady was thrown violently to
the ground.
Finally gaining her freedom from the
monster, which she was able to shake
off only after superhuman efforts, she
continued her flight toward home.
In her haste she stepped on a rusty
nail, which penetrated the flesh to the
depth of about two inches. Blood

kind of work was the life of the young
woman saved.
