Boston Wool Market,

boStOIl, sept. =, 1GOS.
The receipts of wool for this week were
.44s bales foreign and 1918 bales tlomes-
tic. against 1929 bales foreign and 1884
bales domestic for the same time last
year.
REMARKS:-The wool market is steady
and fairly active. Consumers prefer to
visit the market often for small Quantities
instead Of coming in at long intervals and
then contracting for several weeks sup
ply. The former method of trading gives
the market q rather quiet appe arance but
the total Of numerous small transactions
often is nearly as large as Il few large
ones. and such is the case in the wool
market today. These small purchases are
more constant and tend to promote a
healthier condition. since stocks do not
accumulate in the hands of manufac-
t'lrcrs and prices are always more stable
when there is steady demand

EARLE is HAPPY.
"Soui Mate" Returns and the Artist
Is Filled With Joy.

Middletown, n. y. Sept. 22--The re-
turn of Mrs. Ferdinand Pinney Earle
to the castle CT her affinity artist near
Monroe. apparently has made him one
OF the happiest men in Orange county
Now that his soul mate" is back. the
friends of the artist profess to believe
that there will be no further trouble
between the couple. 1t is explained
they now understand each other better
than ever before.
Despite the acts of the artist, he
still has defenders in the village of
Monroe. persons who are inclined to
excuse his conduct and declare that
he is not as bad AS he has been repre-
scented. They insist that there never
would have been any trouble between
the couple but for the interference of
relatives. They have great faith in
the ability of the mother of the artist
to straighten out all difficulties, and
attribute the reunion to the offices of
the mother.
Earle refuses to discuss the matter of
his wife's return. His place is still
guarded by the big dogs and the Ital-
ian bees.
1t is said that it was Earle's intention
to bid adieu to Monroe for ell time
II his wife had not returned to him
Although Mrs. Earle alighted from the
train at oxford, some distance from
Monroe. Saturday might. where she was
met by her husband with an automo-
bile. thinking no one would. recognize
them, there happened to be two per-
sons at the station who knew Earle
and they watched fer Mrs. Earle to
step from the train, which she did II
was said Monday afternoon that the
Earles probably would spend the win
ter in New York, and that they might
not remain in Monroe more than two
weeks longer this season
