The course of the London sales,
which closed last Saturday, was very
satisfactory. Prices hardened and

in some cases all, and more than all,
of the decline recorded at the open
ing. Compared with March rates,
fine crossbreeds ranged from prices

lower, while the medium to coarse
descriptions ruled S per cent. higher.
When the woods were suitable for
their requirements American buyers
paid prices 10 per cent, above the
March figures. Good greasy meri-
nos brought prices on par with
March and sometimes 5 per cent
higher, and inferior grades as well
as secured ranged from the March
levels to 5 per cent. lower. The
Punta Arenas woods brought fully
as much as during the preceding
series. The woods available for the
series amounted to 267,OO0 bales of,
which 155, 900 bales were catalogued,
and La, 900 sold. America took
5000 bales. the home trade 10000.
the Continent $1,000, and 10000
bales were carried forward.
The fleece wool market, while,
quiet, has been firmer, especially
on quarter-bloods, as noted. In
Ohio, also, the farmers are firmer

of note, and here the purchasers
have been obliged. to pay more than
they thought they would be, the
woods bringing prices equivalent to
SO cents, secured, landed, or s at
14S cents in. the grease, the good
woods costing on the average Ii at
145 cents. The buyers of these
woods must be anticipating an ad-
vance in this market, or they would
hardly be willing to pay that price;
but the Oregon woods are attractive,
being we'll grown and running well
to staple this year, notably those
around Pendleton.
From the other sections of the
country, including Texas, Utah, and
Nevada, such woods as are coming
forward are mostly on consignment,
growers being unwilling to accept
the current low range of values. A
despatch from Salt Lake City states
that growers are standing by their
agreement to hold their wool, con-
fident of an improving market.
The transactions in the Boston
market have been confined mostly
to small lots, consumers still pur-
suing a waiting policy. But none OF
them dispute the cheapness of wool,
and as they need raw material. they
buy it. The big manufacturers are
keeping in close touch with the situ-
alton. and on the whole talk a little
more favorably of the outlook. In
the meantime the new woods are
continuing to arrive and before

buvers will have large and varied
selections to choose from. The

Deer Lodge, June 15.-George
Rock, who murdered John Robinson,
a penitentiary guard, on March 8,
was hanged today in the prison yard
in the presence of 800 men. He
maintained his attitude of Indifference
to the last, and a firm ''No, Sir"
was the answer when asked if he had
anything to say before the end.
When Rock was brought to the
scaffold he obtained his first glimpse
this year of sunshine, green grass and
brilliant flowers. Just before the black
hood was drawn over his face, he lift
ed his head and gazed about at the YER
dant lawn and the distant mountains.
Then again the mask of indifference
hid any emotion he might have felt,
and he was swung into eternity.
Rock professed religion at the last
and was accompanied to the scaffold
by Fathers Mccormick and Moran of
Anaconda. Rock walked between them
head averted and apparently listening
to their cEanted words. The trio
was followed by Sheriff Fifer, Deputy
Sheriffs Joseph Larson and Selleons,
Thomas McTague and two prison
guards.
When the death signal was giver
and the weight fell, Rock was swung
into the air, but his neck was moi
broken. It was II minutes before
