BOSTON, October 24.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
1.-The strength of the raw wool mar
ket persists undiminished. While the
situation among the retail and whole
sale clothiers leaves very much to be
desired, the manufacturers evidently
are looking ahead to better business,
and already are buying considerable
weights of wool on January l dating.
Election results appear TO be gem,

1.-The news of spreading contracting
of the 1925 domestic clip is of special
interest. In Wyoming 42Ia and 43

rumors of 45 refused. Elsewhere att
tempts have been made to contract,
with some success, while in Texas the

have been sold at slightly rising, as,

Questioned yesterday as to the

Doyle. vice president and general
manager, declared that he was un-
able to explain the low price of the

The bonds arc a first mortgage on
the entire property owned by the
company.
The company does not make public
regular monthly earnings statements.
The last report covered operations
for the first months of the year. This
showed marked decline in net income.
4 90 per cent increase in straight fares
be came effective on July l. as a re-
suit of which gross income was bet
ter than for the same month last
year, but increased operating ex-
penses caused a slight decline in net
income. The Fall and Spring sea-
