 Wool Prices Unchanged
 Prices of wool are, on the whole lust the same aS week ago. Sup- plies of wool In the market are in- creasing, and there iS some eonges- ton at certain of the warehouses. The trade, however, is not much in- clined to sell wood for current bids, inasmueh ns 1t cannot be replaced from tho country at the level for which manufacturers are willing to operate,
 It was Q quiet week for the top makers, Volume was not especially large, neither was 1t especially small, Yarn spinners found the de- mand rather indifferent during the past week, On account of the strength in the wool market, there was less opportunity for the spin- ner to lower his quotations, and there is little change to do busi- ness, unless he cuts his own price. Because of this situation, few sales were made,
 Sales of Wool Goods ,,,katantIaI I,,,arouan,ont 10, tho sales of wool goods Is anticipated by the close of the month, Wool manufacturers thrilled orders have declined considerably during the rec cent weeks, and now totoal about 37, ,000, ,000 linear yards,
 Mill backlogs are about 4,000,000 yards less than during the same period in l035. This decline was caused chiefly by curtailment of government buying of wool mater ial for the army and the 0, 0. c.
 Buyers of gray cotton goods oper- ated only moderately during the past week, with their need for sup- plies indicated by quick shipment of cloth under contract. The current lull in trading Is traced to the walt Ing for the effect of the govern ment cotton crop report on prices of the raw materials.

United Press Staff C0rrespondent)
 Washington, Aug, l3-Floyd c, Caskey, a benefRctor of the human race, today received the first order for his patented chrooner choker, This magnificent apparatus turns of the radio almost before croon- CT can clear his throat. It main- tains golden silence during his performance and then switches the current on again after he has fln- ished. One demonstration by George R. Morrissey, Caskey'S partner was enough. We placed order No. l for a hand-rubbed, mahogany finished, quintuple- controlled choker, guaran- teed to throttle any radio program, or any part thereof, objectionable to us,
 It Is q real comfort, For $7.50 our life has been freed forever from the crooner menace, Never again will we be forced to listen to anybody urge us to run over to the drug store for Q bottle of anything, cracked con- traltos and sour sopranos, for us, are a thing of the past, From now on our radio will deliver sweet music, and sweet music only, thanks to Caskeys contribution to world progress,
 He Is in Mt. Alto hospitali rocoV- ering from an appendicitis opera. ton, but he has his ehokGr at his bedside radio. There is never Q croon from the loudspeaker to im- pede his conValesence,
 Three years ago it was, taccording to partner MorrlssGy) that Caskey was sitting in his parlor listening to 0 jazz band program when all of Q sudden somebody started to tell him he'd better cat WootSie- -tootSie or all his hair would fall out. The longer tho loudspeaker lecturGd about the dangers Of dandrutf, the madder CRskey got, He didn't have dandruff; only dander, He said something ought to be done. He did 1t, His first radio turner offer was a little box on the arm or his chair, It had one button on the NlIld btl GASSba AS SiSSH In. As soon Rs m aerial salesman started to sell Caskey anything he didn't want, he'd push the button and his radio would remain silent for one minute.
 This experimental model worked flnc aS far as 1t went, but the longer Caskey listened to the radio, the more certain he became that his in- Vcntion didn't go far enough. It would interrupt Q Crooner for a minute, all right, but when the minute was up, all Caskey could do was put his fingers in his ears. What his invention needed was fiexibil- ity, He went down Into the cellar, out of Mrs, Caskeys way, and there he perfected his invention, At least, last week, the shouted; Eureka
 Ills guaranteed, five-gaited ether purifier was Q reality. Nothing could escape It's critical metal brain; no radio program Caskey didn't like

VIRGINIA BANK
LOSSES CUT

Only three commercial banks
in the State of Virginia have been
forced to close since the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation be-
came effective January l, 1884, it
was announced today by John
Galleher, State director for the
National Emergency Council for
Virginia.
One of the three bank failures
was insured, and depositorS will
receive SO per cent of their de.
posits.
On June 30, 1885, deposits in
1923 operating commercial banks in
Virginia were insured by the
F. D. I. c., the total deposits Of
these institutions totaling $525,.
100000. Sixty-two per cent of the
deposits, it is estimated, are COW
cred by insurance.
Since the great majority Of the
depoSitorS have accounts of less
than $4,000, it is computed that
approximately 80 per cent of the
bank depoSitors have their de-
posts fully insured.
Mr.. Galleher revealed that prior
to the establishment of the F. D.
I. c., 1853 commercial banks sus-
pended operations during a period
