Happy" was walking along under
the influence of liquor and he saw the
transaction and it grieved him. 1t al
SO made him indignant that the Nor
wegian flag should be pulled from any
ones coat and he started to eXpostu-
late with Aaske. whom he didn't know.
The latter explained that he was with
his friend and that the action was
playful and moi intended seriously, but
this did not pacify the alleged patri-
otto Happy" for he pushed out his
INST and struck Aaske several times.
Aaskc Has An Inning.
Patience with MI. Aaske ceased to
be a virtue and after he had finished
with the patriotic one, Happy knew
that he had been run into repeatedly
by a fist or two. for his eyes were dis
colored and he was otherwise dam
aged.
The officers came along about the
same time and arrested both COM

Judge Miller. where Mr.. Aaske and
his friend told their stories. which
could not be denied satisfactorily by

day:
Trading during the week in tina
Boston wool market has been rather
Indifferent. except for the demand
near the close Of the week for low
crossbreds on the part Of one Of the
larger buyers. Scattering sales Of old
territory woods Of almost all grades
as we'll as a fair demand for new ter
ritories has been in evidence. Only
a little trading has been done in
feeces at unchanged rates.
New Utah. Nevada. Arizona and
Wyoming woods are bringing on the
clean basis about 53@55c for the best
woods. although prices being paid in
the west at the moment will mean
higher prices for the later bought
woods. Class three woods for clothing
purposes are held firm on moderate
request.
The shipments Of wool from Boston
from January 1 to May 16. inclusive,
were 1~04.463.52s pounds against 49,

will say:
Natures forces have been unpro-
pltlous over a wide area of the coun-
try and as a resllt trade has beer
adversely affected. The weather was
too wet or too cold for s%easonable
activity in real lines, which branc!,
of distribution should now be in fun
swing. This situation has in turn
been reflected in decreased buying
fro mwholesale dealers and jobbers
and there has been little or no reor
der business. AT the same time
country trade is quiet, for while far
mers have not been enabled to dc
much spring work, they have no,
been in a mood to make even ordi-
nary purchases. 1t is felt. however
that retail dealers stocks are not bur
densome, and that warm. settled
weather will produce better results
and enable some of the lost ground
to be recovered. On the other hand
orders for fall account are of a re.
assuring character. In the dry goods
line the recent and present quiet
would in all probability be more
Sharply felt We're it not hat deliver
les from the mills are not up to the
handle. which fact keeps stocks in
second hands down to reasonable pro-
pa tiiuo pIoleclluS the prices,
AS 1t is, some softness in prices of
gray print cloths is noted. But while
distribution is retarded. manufacture
ers are quite active and in the iron
and steel lines operations are increas-
ing, premiums are being paid for
plates, finished material tends to adj
vance, the railroads are insisting
about deliveries, and their buying
continues a noteworthy feature of
the market.
