BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

BOSTON, October 11.-Trading In the
local wool market still remains quiet, al
though few houses report some inquiry
for special lines. Values are no higher,
but some dealers believe that territory
wool will advance shortly. The stock
OF staple territory wool is comparatively
small, and the clean cost is now 10 cents.
Some interest is shown in Ohio quarter
blood. which is bringing 261s cents, al
though prices vary cent or two in diff
ferent houses.
A fair trade is also reported In both

POST OFFICE STATION
IS TO Be ABOLISHED
Quicker Handling of Mails and
Financial Saving the
Object.

For the quicker handling and delivery
of the mails and to save something like
$1,000 in expenses the Post Office Depart
ment has decided to abolish Station d OF
the city post office. now located at ia ~
street southwest, November 30. In its
place a station numbered ~. where mail
matter may be registered. money orders
secured and stamps purchased. will be
put in operation at 9TH and II streets
southwest December 1.
The thirteen letter carriers and eight
clerks now employed at Station ID will
be transferred to the main post office,
and provision will doubtless be made for
John j. Murphy, the present superintend-
ent of the station.
The change will permit the adjustment
of the screen wagon service with the
rental of the present station quarters,
which amounts to $3.50 year.
Earlier Delivery of Mail.
1t was explained at the post Office to-
day that under the old arrangement all
mail to and from the station had to
pass through the main Office and be ham
died there. The last close of mails at
the main office to secure the first de-
livery by the carrier in the morning is
made at 6:45 am. 1t reaches the sta
carriers at from 1880 to 8 O'Clock.
Under the new arrangement the car
riers will leave the main Office at am,
which will allow the delivery of mail re-
ceived fifteen minutes later than at pres
ent and will enable the delivery of all
mail on the first delivery at least fifteen
minutes earlier. Mail for the last delivery
now closes at the main Office at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon and carriers
leave the station with it at o'clock.
Under the new order of things the car
riers will leave the main Office at pm,
thus enabling them to deliver mail re-
ceived a half hour later than at present.
1t is said many small mails from nearby
points arrive about that time.
Collections to Main Office.
Collections will be made by carriers
ard brought direct to the main Office,
whence they will be made up and dis
patched. At present they are first ham
died at the station and then a second
time, except what are known as direct
mails to large cities, at the main Office.
The new arrangement will save many
delays that have been caused in this
way.
The change is regarded in the post
office as an exceedingly good one, and
especially beneficial to residents of the
southwestern section of the city, whose
mail has heretofore all been handled at
station u.
