Market
BY STUART P. VEST
Copyright. 1922.D

New York, March 1.-THE dull
ness of the drygoods market was
unchanged by today's trading. What
business was Gone was in fairly
small lots and mills were unable to
interest buyers in large amounts
even at some concessions. The
price for 3S1s inch 64x60's print
cloths still was consirered at 75s
but there was little doing in the
wider constructions. Sheetings al
SO were somewhat quiet with the
medium and heavyweights COM
handing the most interest. Some
off lots of sateens were cleaned up
and mercerized twills were given
attention.
The silk market was little
changed today and the volume of
trading was not materially large al
though inquiries were more num-
erous. In finished goods the crepe
constructions are more active.
WOOL.
Boston, March 16.-MilI men are
holding off in the wool market here
declaring that raw wool prices
must come down if they are to make
a profit but raw wool prices showed
no signs of weakness. Growers in
the inter-mountain states are hold
ing off from contracting their
clips, counting to some extent on
the competition of the Pacific coast
markets with Boston and Philadel-
phia to insure firm prices. The
Livingstone county New York wool
pool has just been cleaned up and
prices to growers for the best quail
ity, classed as Delaine, was about
A cents. Rejects brought Csc a
pound.

NATIVES SCOFF
AT DR.. PRINCES
GHOST THEORY
Folk of Antagonist
Want to Keep Their
Wrath.

Halifax, N. S., March 16.-While
DR.. Walter Franklin Prince, New
York scientist and layer of ghosts,
is satisfied that human, and not
superhuman agencies constituted
the Antagonist ghost. 1t was
learned today that residents near
Caledonia Mills, which is near the
Mac Donald home, were reluctant to
accept his version that Mary Ellen
Macdonald, Is, was at the root of
their phenomenon.
DR.. Prince, in a long report, the
fruit of a weeks stay in the haunt
ed house" of Alex Macdonald. de-
cIared the adopted daughter of the
old farmer was author of the sup
posedly supernatural fires and
pranks among the livestock which
drove the family from the old
homestead in the dead of winter.
The ghostly slaps which Harold
Whidden, reporter, and P. o. Car
roll, Provincial detective, claim to
have received, were attributed to
natural phenomena by DR.. Prince.
Won't Blame Girl
Skeptics of Antagonist county are
shaking their heads today, how
ever, and placing their tongues in
their cheeks. They are seemingly
loath so easily to relinquish the i'm
portance that attached to their Sec
ton of the country, so long as the
outside world was fascinated with
tales of what they were wont to
believe was a prankish wrath with
designs on the MacDonalds.
They characterize as absurd the
scientists nomination of Mary Ell
len as combined author and cause
of their mystery while in a
dream state" and the victim of
ALTERED consciousness"
