Boston Wool Market.

Boston. April =.
The receipts of wool for this week were
eiGn against 5.734 bales domestic and
s.UsS bales foreign for the same time last
year.
REMARKS:-Local holders of foreign
WOODS have had a chance during the past
Week to dispose of a considerable guam
uty of their holdings, but as far as do
meStic clips are concerned Ut has been an
exceedingly dull week. and as has been the
Case for several weeks past only the ac-
tivity of woods from abroad has prevent
ed the market from lapsing into absolute
dullneSs. But the stock of domestic wOOlS
here is small and those that remain are
of such Poor selection that they do not
attract buyers. The high prices asked by
wool growers in the west have effcctually
checked the early contracting which is
usually a feature of the trading at this
time of the year. In some states eastern
houses have secured pledges of this years
clips, but contracting has not been near
ly as general as In former years. Only
one or two local concerns have shared the
contracting that has been done and the
selling of We u to arrive. based on
pledges, is much smaller than usual. Lo-
below what i would cost to import them.

UNUSUAL SIGHTS
People Moving Into Moving Houses
Rapidly Clearing Cairo &
Thcbes Ground.

House-moving Is the order of the
day in the west part of the city, with
Dan Hartman and Angus Leek as the
principals TO the proceedings. these
being the gentlemen who have bought
the many structures which occupy
the terminal grounds of the Cairo e.
Thebes railroad. Mr.. Leek has per-
haps the more difficult job. One Of his
houses stood In block 43, where The
depots are to be located, and the
foundation of the long freight house
would have closed the only feasible
outlet from the block, had not Con
tractor Halliday kindly left an open
ing for him to move his house
through. The house got through yes
terday and the gap in the liquidation
for the depot was closed.
Mr. Hartman's contractor moves
one house nearly every day and the
proceeding is being watched with
much interest. An incident of the
moving that excites comment Is that
people are actually moving into some,
houses while the houses themselves
are being moved from place to place.
which may be taken as showing the
scarcity Of houses in the city.
Mr.. Vcllngmeyer, the contractor
for Mr. Hartman Is making rapid
work OF the moving and will have the
ground cleared in contract time of
the score or more of buildings which
he has undertaken to move.
