Wool prices in England and else
where have shown a distinctly up
ward tendency of late, and even in
American markets, a better tone pre-
walls, although the change from quiet
and dullness is notvery pronounced.
The government resumed its auc-
tions of clothing wool Monday, No
vember 10, with fine and half-blood
woods much in demand. At two re-
cent government sales a large per-
centage of the offerings were taken
at satisfactory prices. The London
sales have shown increasing strength
Dealers and importers consider the
American wool market lowest in the
world. Woolen textile machinery
now employed has reached the years

buying. Packing hogs, especially,
have ruled strong. Growers appar-
emily feel confident of their position.
In the cattle market, small receipts
have furnished healthy support.
While the supply of common and
inbctween grades has been excess
sive on occasion, good stuff has been
scarce. AS result prices have
touched new records for the moment
A heavy crop of Western lambs
has recently been liquidated. The
market broke under its pressure.
Trade has been rather brisk at times
with quality poorer. Feeders and
breeders have bought well. Thin
lambs have met good demand from
the country.

NO BOLSHEWSM AMONG
THE UKRAINE PEOPLE

Stanislau, West Ukraine. Apr. 2.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press. There is no disorder and
not n bit OF bolshevism among us."
Premier Holubowitz, OF the Ukraine
told the correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press the other day. Only
recently we expelled two agitators
from Moscow who we're disguised as
members OF the Red Cross. We are
very anxious to have an allied mis-
sion visit us and see the facts with
their own eyes.
Thus far the Associated Press
correspondent is the first foreign
journalist to be sent among us. We
want the Americans to know as as
q people who demand their rights
and are willing to die for them. We
are Just plain, common people with
out any aristocratic frills.
I'VE believe that President Will
sons ethnology plan Is the only pos
sible settlement OF all these dis
putes. We are willing to abide by
any fair division by unprejudiced
persons after they are properly ac-
quainted with the subject"

Paris, Apr. 30.--Warnings are

PARIS NOT PLEASED
WITH Present LEAGUE

Paris, Apr. 29.-The covenant OF
the league of nations arouses little
enthusiasm in the press of this city.
Indeed, many of the principal news
papers abstain from comment alto
gether. L'oeuvre, which has always
been a champion of the league and
of President Wilson, says:
Speaking generally. we are bound
to say the pact of the league causes
certain amount of disappointment"
Writing in the Echo de Paris.
''Pertinax' spokesman Of the nation
ionalists, declares outright:
THE league of nations is dead be-
fore birth"
All the newspapers point out that
great concessions were made by
France. Some OF the journals go so
far as to declare that these conces-
sions amount to surrender. AS
whole, however, the press expresses
the hope that later amendments will
result in satisfying what are regard
ed as legitimate claims OF France
and the other countries which, as

comment words 1t showed their mo-
deration by abstaining from insist
ing yesterday upon an immediate

nant which they were advocating.
