Since the notification Of the cancella-

that only Cape wool would be sold to

These rumors. however, are entirely
without foundation, as officials here de-
clare positively that at the moment no
American will be permitted to purchase
English wool.
OfioialA here were unable to predict
whether the present rule would be mod
flied, or when, IL at all. For the present
the sale Of English wool will be con-
fined to other countries than the United
