WOOL MARKET IN
BOSTON STRONGER

During the last week better feel.
ing has prevailed in the Boston wool
market, resulting in a strengthened
condition. After six weeks of apathy,
during which time endeavors were
made to cause break in prices, busi-
ness is on the point of resuming. and
good, stiff market is anticipated
when buying gets into swing again.
Boston is considered the cheapest
wool market in the world by trade
and that alone should indicate plenty
of business in the near future. Prices
have held and in some cases show
slight advances in sympathy with the
rise in England. Wools at the Lon
don auctions have been bid up. "
some cases fifteen per cent, Gas and
70s fetching $2.25 to s2.35. In the
Boston market, however. territory
half-blood woods are selling for $1.65.
and the choicest graded Montana
half-b blood and fine woods fetch $3.50.
1t is not thought that lower prices
will be seen yet. as evidenced by the
competition prevailing on the other
side, which means that wool is
needed.
A factor to be considered is con-
nection with the buying by Americans
in England is shipment. and the ques-
ton arises as to when manufacturers
will receive deliveries. The conges-
tion is so great that shipments are
liable to be delayed almost indefi-
nitely. This must have its effect on
the local market. for. although the
fine grades cannot be obtained here,
the demand for goods continues, and
will have to be supplied by medium
woels. Hence, it is reasonable to sup
pose that a good market in medium
" ools is about due.
American manufacturers used 10,-
100000 pounds less wool in August
than in July of this year. although the
total for August exceeds that of any
other month except July. The con-
sumption during August amounted
to 56O00,000 pounds. grease equiva-

CITY COUNC|LMEN
AFTER SIDEWALKS
WANT SIDEWALKS LAID BEFORE
SNOW, POLLUTION OF DRINK.
ING WATER TOLD OF

Members of the city council held
another meeting last night. The
council chamber was crowded with
men interested in developments and
there to talk on one subject or an
other.
Strengthening up questions with the
Winnemucca Water and Light Con.
pany took up some time. H. Warren
appeared for the company and in
formed the council every effort is
being made to rush the work Of IN
stalling the fire reservoir and laying
Of new pipe before freezing weather
comes on. The company, he said,
could not continue the expenditure
of approximately $4,000 unless some
expression could be obtained from the
council relative to an extension of
franchise. The present document ex-
pires in eight years. The councilmen
agreed to extend the franchise fifty
years with the understanding that
such action will not prevent them is
suing like franchise to any other
applicants if deemed advisable.
Another matter Warren took up
was the pollution of drinking water
by sheep and cattle. He told some
facts concerning dead sheep and other
means of pollution of Winnemucca's
water supply which were not nice to
listen to and might be worse If
printed. 1t certainly appeared from
his talk that some action should be
taken to prevent this pollution, If pos
sible. So the city councilmen agreed
to look into the matter and pass nec-
essary ordinances later. There is
state law which gives the council
authority to assume jurisdiction over
the water supply, even if outside the
city limits. and prevent pollution by
fines and Imprisonment.
While they were talking about
drinking water Councilman Akin took
occasion to ask if the well at the foot
of Bridge street is so constructed as
to prevent surface waters of the
Humboldt river seeping. in. Warren
told him that if it was not it should
be and he would attend to the matter.
Sidewalks were the next big ques-
ton of the evening. Contractors
were on hand to listen and talk about
the proposed work. but no bids were
let 1t seems that correct specifica-
tions have not yet been completed.
After much talk on the subject it was
decided to recess until tomorrow
night to further consider bids. The
councilmen are anxious to have walks
across the bridge and to the high
school completed this year and the
big rush is to get the cement laid be-
fore freezing weather arrives.
Routine matters kept the weary
men there until after midnight and
they finally decided to finish up at
the recessed meeting tomorrow night.
