the sitlEtlon today. although u ~

Boston Commercial Bulletin. Pur-
chases Ia the west have been more
extensive this week and prices. COM
pared with what safety would seem
10 dictate considering the probable
immlnence OF free wool. are clearly
speculative. The supreme question:
with the purchasers OF the woods now
being taken In the west, seems to be,
"wiil the enactment Of the tarin hold
on long enough TO allow ~ 10 dispose
OF our purchases az profit" This
means. In the hnal analysis. "Will the
manufacturers receive the orders
which will force them 10 buy these
woods before the duty is removed"

cate men's wear orders are coming
forward 20 the mills. but they are
coming slowly and. relatively speak

better OF the argument on orders. Ac-
