Boston Wo 81 Market.

More interest is shown in a variety gf
weols. including al kinds eff deeces and
SEINE territories. The fleece woods are
by far the most active. but the number
OF Inquiries for al kinds of wool have
Increased without however, altering
prices It is q question whether this in
creased interest will lead TO highee
prices or not. hut there is already a
shortage on certain kinds of wool. -
that dealers holding tins stock are often
unwilling to let it &c 1T the present
price The mills are continuing to start
up additional machinery, and those en-
gagged In several lines of fabrics find i
impossible to turn out goods fast enough
even by operating overtime. 1t must not
be understood from the above that the
mills are having anything like a boom.
but there are certain lines which dealers
are entirely out of. and the retail dealers
are purchasing goods from manufaetur-
ers who can supply their wants immedi-
ately.
Dealers in fleece woods are sold we'll
ahead. and are having little difficulty in
making good sales of all kinds Of stock
they stlll have While dealers in terri
tories are holding prices extremely firm
the5. must get out and hustle in order te
bring the sales to anything like a high
figure With heeces, it Is a different
proposition. Buyers are continually max
ing Inquiries for lines of wool which
dealers cannot supply. and it IS the buyer
more than the seller who is doing the
hustIng There have been many in
quirles for territory woods which have
not as yet become actual orders. but this
activity shows that the mills are needing
territory wools and that they Will soon
be obliged TO make some good sized par
chases These purchases may not &c
made in large Jumps but ii not. 1t Will
mean continued business for small
amounts
Holders of California wool are expect
ing more activity after the heavyweight
season commences. This sometimes b.
gins in December, and already there
have been some inquiries made for WOO
of this kind, The real activity, however
cannot be expected until the latter par
of December. or the middle of January
and it is probable that California WOO
will move much more freely in mont
or SO.
Primary prices In the foreign marke
are firmer. but this is IN no way due Z
any activity on the part of Americans.

Tolls Cost More than Gasoline.

With the approach of winter and the
resultant popularity of southern tour
ing comes a unique report from
New Jersey motorist as to the relative
cost of gasoline and road tolls while
enroute between Newark, n. j., ana
the Natural Bridge in Virginia
IN speaking of his trip, this Newark
gentleman had the following to say:
Il am not exaggerating it in the
least when I tell YOU that the money
] paid at toll gates between Newark.
n. J.. and the Natural Bridge in Vir-
giiia, amounted to more than l paid
for oil and gasoline. The road / fol-
lowed lay across New Jersey and the
south eastern corner OF Pennsylvania
to the northern border of Delaware
We crossed the small states of Della
ware and Maryland and followed the
Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia to
the Natural Bridge. 1t was on these
Virginia roads that our tolls mounted
up so fast. The country is very
mountainous and it is apparent that
all the good roads have been CON
structed at great expense, accounting
for the high toll which we had to pay.
Most of these toll roads are excellent,
but at times the grades are very diff
ficu't In all we covered over a thou
sand miles, including toll roads, and
good, bad and Indifferent roads. Case
line was by no means exceedingly
cheap, but the tolls We're high and
there We're many toll gates TOT go
through before our car reached New
ark on the return I would suRgest
to any one planning a southern tour
which includes the route r. took to
be equally as prepared for the pay
nlent of tolls as for the purchase OF
