mand.
Although prices are no higher than
last week they are very firm. Al
woods are in strong hands, and despite
a readjustment of some values to a
proper basis there Is no tendency in
any quarter to shade values. 1t Is
the general BELIEF that all the wool
available will be required for con
sumption, and consequently dealers
are opposed to parting with their
holdings except at prices that present
conditions warrant. A source OF
much encouragement is the manner
IN which goods are being engaged for
next season Spot supplies of w0fs-
teds are apparently inadequate to the
demand while every indication points
to "A marked Improvement in general
industrial conditions in the fall, thus

In Colorado 22ls cents was paid

It is now definitely established by

Tough luck came to an East end
nat resident the other night by al odd
chain of circumstances.
- Briefly 1t was like this: The fiat
resident got home 90 minutes ahead
u his wife, who was out to a bridge
whist party.
The husband waited and waited aud
waited and then began to get exercised
for fear there wasn't going to be any
thing doing at all that night in the
way of things to cat.
He waited fe"- ~f'~utes longer. and
then telephoned TO tie home where
the bridge session had been held. They
told him the other wing Of his house
had started home an hour or two he
= fore. . Then he called, up the neighbors
and all the places where his wife
might have dropped in. But he only
became more convinced that she was
lost or kflled-run over by a street
car or something. He began to make
the round of the hospitals and am
bulance lines on the phone.
Then the door opened-this was al
hour or more after the dinner hour
and his wife entered. She had been in
the fiat right below. Why hadn't she
come home? Why, she had como home
just after he did. But when she
reached their door and heard him al
the telephone she jumped to the con.
clusion that he had brought some
friend home with him and was talking
to him. And there wasn't thing III
the house to eat-that is nothing for
company. So she ducked to the floor
below until husband and his friend
should get tired waiting and hike ouL
