WOOL GRADING HIGH.
FIeeees From Marshall County to Be
of Good Quality.

The two carloads Of wool shipped
Monday by the Marshall County Fleece
Wool Association reached the market
at an opportune time, arriving when
the market was strong. The wool now
is being graded and the quality is said
to be good. AS a rule the" Iowa clir
this year is grading higher than that
from Illinois the wool being brighter
and the fleece better. Much of the
Marshall county wool is grading three
eighths blood staple or combing and q
smaller percentage grading one-tourth
blood staple. A very small percentage
has graded low quarter staple. There
have been some instances of half
blood selected gradings.
The two car shipment from this
county made approximately 1900
pounds.

Chicago. Oct i<.--There was more
action In the Chicago horse market
at the opening this week than the
week previous. While the receipts
wore lighter. there were moro buyers
in the field. The better quality, heavy
draft animals sold higher than the
same grade did last week.
Horse dealers here say that had there
been two or three hundred moro good
horses on the market they would all
have sold at good price. While the
light receipts had an effect on the
price Of the heavy drafters, there was
no market change in the price OF me-
dunn horses weighing around 1900 and
1900 pounds. The latter are bringing
around the same prices watch have
prevailed for the last two or three
months. The supply does not seem to
cnt any figure.
There were no exporters on the mar
ket this week. All the buying was by
local and American dealers. A large
number OF the animals purchased will
be shipped TO southern territory. A To-
cal firm shipped twelve mules with a
load Of horses to southern firm Tues
day
Commenting on the market situation,
dealer who has been In the horse
business for many years remarked that.
while n looks bad as compared with
that Of last June and July and during
the war, It was considerably better
than pre-war markets. He remember
ed the time when an exporter could
not get enough horses to ship. II was
in the exporting business for many
years" said he, "and there were many
times that / could not even fill out u
load. Now 1t is different and there
