reforms advocated at all international
conferences. Many of the leading del
egates who attended the conference at
Atlanta, Ga, last October, expressed
their strong opposition to the specula-

Boston wool merchants within the
past week have shipped to European
markets nearly 100000 pounds of Aus
tralian wool, which was originally pur-
chased in London and shipped to this
country. The wool has remained in
bond here since its arrival, and in the
meantime the price has steadily ad-
vanced in the London market, While
the price here has remained about the
same. AS a consequence the owners
OF the wool are able TO make good
profit by shipping it back to London,
even after paying the freight. The
steamship Marquette sailed Saturday
for Antwerp with 1872 bales Of this
wool, Weighing 10000 pounds Today
