Outside OF some shopping around,

more or less business on sample
beios, however, which may result In
some fair mies, but az yet these are
not contaminated. says the Boston
Commercial Bulletin.
Notwithstanding this slaekness in
spot demand. however, there haH
bnen an undertone 81 decided strength
in the wool market, and while the
general business situation has been
more or less disturbed on account Of
labor troubles woods have heen main
tanned on practically the same level
noted a week ago.

reason 10 hope al this writing that
the Lawrence strike will be fully
ended within the Week. The prepo-
