OULLNESS PREVAILS

Half Usual HoIdoyer.

The market seems to have settled
down for a period of quiet, and 1t is Il
condition necessary to keep II sort
Of balance during the mex few
months, as the stocks of wool offered
for sale are becoming dangerously
limited, both in weight and selection,
so that a period of quiet is just what
is needed, particularly after the siren
uous season so far passed. sales OF
the week were 2,575.0O0 pounds, says
the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter.
A year ago this time the market
was quite active and there was reason
for it,, because for weeks before there
had been light trading. and the deal
ers had experienced a dull period,
such as we have now apparently en-
tered upon. Under these circum-
stances Il comparison with last year
means nothing. as the present season
of wool trading up to this time has
no precedent. There have been few
duh periods since the seasons woods
began to arrive. and now, twenty
eight weeks before new domestic wool
will be in the market. Boston and ev-
cry other trading center, for. that
matter. has only about one-half the
usual carry-over supplies.
Running Out of Wool.

cent Storm,

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The damage done
by wind and sleet in the Middle West
and Northwest can scarcely be esti-
mated. Many cities and towns are
still practically isolated and train
service remains demoralized. In the
Dakotas and Nebraska hope is held
out for immediate Improvement in
conditions and these, it is promised,
will rapidly extend eastward to Ohio
over the storm stricken region.
In the South the storm was the
most severe in recent years and the
story of wrecked buildings, Interrupt
ton to wire communication and gen
eral distress is almost duplicate Of
that sent from the North and North
west Railroad traffic is also badly
delayed in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mis-
sissippi and portions Of Texas. Fire
and havoc from high winds have re-
suited in loss of several hundred thou
sand dollars.
The heavy snowfall in the states to
the west and northwest Of Chicago is
the most serious result of the biz
Zard. The delay in freight traffic and
passenger service will probably con-
tinue for some time. The loss of life,
considering the extent of the area af-
ficted, has been Insignificant.

While at work in the Great North

The body was removed to the I'M

shortly before the body was taken to
st. Joseph's the eyeballs rolled back,
showing positively that life still lin.
gered in the young man.
Physicians worked all night trying
to bring the man back to life. But

ganizers went into Pennsylvania to
disrupt rather than build up the I'M

the statement was not true. Mr.. Hag-

produced to support his charges. Mr..
Lewis then stated that certain fac
ton Of the delegation was determined
to attack him. He proposed to de-
fend himself to the best of his ability
and desired that all they had to say
should be brought out. Haggerty de-
Tended his integrity as warmly as Mr..

INTERRUPTS ALL TRAFFIC
Western Blizzard Hits New York Will
Full Force,

New York, Feb. 1.-The center Of
the Western blizzard has reached this
city in full force. Accompanied by a
high west wind a heavy fall of wet
snow, succeeding rainfall through
out the night, filled the streets with
slippery slush, which delayed all
means of transportation in the city
and suburbs except the subway.
The fall of snow began before day
light and employees Of the street car
lines and railroads promptly attacked
it in desperate effort to keep the
lines open. Thousands of men were
put to work by the street cleaning
department and the main thorough.
fares down town were in fair condi-
ton. Although electric sweepers were
run at frequent intervals on the cross
town lines there were many delays.
Frequent accidents to pedestrians
who were blinded by the driving snow
were reported.

since 1901 the railroads had refused
