the sale attracted all the buyers and
Representatives of foreign and eastern
mills. Five hundred thousand pounds
were sold. Prices on good wool rang
ed from Is to 20 Y cents at the open
ing, averaging 19 cents.
Thirty-one growers disposed of their
wool at yesterdays sale. Seven buyers
purchased 22 lots of fine wool amount
ing to 250,O00 pounds, at prices rang
ing from Is to 20Ik cents. Among
those selling their clips were Ronald
Macdonald of Antelope, who disposed
of $4,000 pounds at the top price of
@0lk cents. This lot was bought by
Mr. Sharp, representing the Boston
mills
Three lots Of coarse wooI, amounting
to about 12500O pounds, were sold for
10 cents, and the remainder of 125, 900
pounds averaged 16 cents.
There has been no material change
in the general wool situation this
week. The eastern trade is closely
watching operations in the west,
whore most Of the business is now be-
ing done. Prices are on a steady basis
and apparently the unsettlement of the
securities market has not affected
wool as it has some other commodities
The eastern mills continue generally

well occupied on old contracts and du-
plicate orders and prices are fully
maintained. Spinners and combers re-
port little change in the situation.
Some Of the handlers of foreign tops
report continued demand for English
fine tops at up to about 81 for the
best lots Of 64s, which is about 10c
under the market for domestic des-
criptions Nevertheless, the combers
are able to do some business and have
been in the market for fine and fine
medium woods Of the territory types
at about 30 cents, clean basis. The
latest figures Of the government on
wool consumption for the month Of
April at 46.O00,000 pounds bring the
industry back to normal consumption,
which has undoubtedly been maintain
cd fully during May and June.
In noting the effect Of the tariff law
on the industry, the Merchants Ma
tional bank of Boston says:
THE Importance Of the emergency

Example OF War
Indemnity Pay
Is Set By France
(Corre.popIence Associated Press.,

PARIS. Mar. 1.-The French press
has been comparing the attitude OF
France regarding payment OF the ST.
600 100000 indemnity asked by Ger
many after the Franco-Prussian var
in 1870 with that Of the German ma
ton now facing its bills for the
worlds war.
The Journal Des Debats re-pub-
fishes letter written to that paper
IN February. 1872. BY Hippolyte Tame,
III which the famous French historian
suggested that every Frenefiman sur
render one-thirtieth of his reyenue''
in order that Germany might be paid
sooner.
Tame proposed that every French
man whether rich or poor. working
man or bourgeois could make this sac
rifice to his country He declared
that workingman by devoting one
days pay each month; a manufacturer
by surrendering the one-thirtieth part
of his net income; the farmer by Civ
ing up the thirtieth bRshel Of oats,
corn or wheat as the case might be-
would permit France 70 pay its then
fabulous indemnity two years sooner
than required and end the occupa-
ton
The historian had figured that the
amount realized from his scheme
would reach 500 100000 francs per
scar.
The Journal Dies Debats comment
ing says: Germany has the exam
pie Of a people which on the morrow
Of the defeat seeks 10 liberate itself
of its debt although that people had
committed no depredations, caused no
damage to the territory OF its en-
envy.
