rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can lie
taken out and this tube restored to Its nor

Low Prices for Wool.

Rich1and Democrat: The wool mar
ket is anything but encouraging, the
price ranging from 90 to % cents and
not stable at that. Buyers are'-unable
to get any definite quotations Or offers
from the manufacturing centers4 and the
prices paid now are made by local buy
ers and are practically a guess. The
conditions surrounding the entire mar
ket are very suggestive of a combination
among manufacturers to control the
market and at price that means more
profit to them than to the grower.
