covered. Mems suits also sold
well, and sports goods. hardware
and house furnishings moved out
at a faster pace.
Ali leading distribution centerS

Creases ranging from 3-6 per cent.
The estimate for the country as
q whole was 8 to Is per cent
above the 1886 comparative. Best
expansion was in the New Eng
land States. where total sales rose
is to 20 per cent above last year.
As May retail clearances of
outer apparel we're broadened, re-
quests for fill-in requirements
reached unexpected proportions

lated fall buying.
Though irregular in its rise for
the week, estimated wholesale

NEW YORK, May .s).-While
there was no change in the outward
appearance of the cotton gray goods
market during the past week, sellers
professed TO see a steadier tone de-
Veloping with the volume Of second
hand offerings decreasing, and buyers
preparing TO cover hand offerings OF
their future requirements.
Goods still moved at concessions. how
ever, and a large proportion of the ac-
tuaI sales. amounting TO total of
about 5000, 900 yards for the week. con-
sisted of second hand lots. Mills, on
the other hand, were gtiffeninE their
resistance to CONCESSIONS on some con-
Rtructions.
Business during the week was con-
fined principally to print cloths and
broadcloths Drills. osnaburgs, and
Oheetings were dull.
There was fair demand for pajama
checks but these were in small supply,
and were held strongly by the mills.

Boston Wool

BOSTON, May Q.N.s0.-The deiiv-
cry of early shorn contracted woods were
fulfilling the bulk of the mill require
ments in the Boston market during the
last week.
The arrival of new woods tended to
cause some irregularity in quotations on
unsold spot woods. Quotations on fleeces
tended lower as dealers sought price
levels at which they could interest mill
buyers.
Graded combing Ohio fleeces were
quoted in Boston at 42@44c in the grease
for fine delaine; at 45@4Sc for staple
combing half-blood; at As 947c for three.
eighths-blood, and at As q 46c for quarter

1 did want to tell you something
about camp meeting. We have had SO
many inquiries of late. However, so
far, we have not been able to get much
data, so it must wait until next week.
Anyhow, we do know it will be held as
usual.
The Park looks better this year than
it has for very long time and with
the boardwalk nearing completion and
the homes being rented, and they are
scarce now, it should be! a. banner year
for the Park.
Mr.. Baker, superintendent of the
Association, has expressed his appre-
citation to the Park Improvement As
sociation for the magnificent work it
has done and is using this method of
publicly thanking the memPers and
all those who had part in the work
of improvement.
We certainly were glad to see "Ted"
Woods on Wednesday morning early.
He was on the job helping clean up and
it's some job after an ACCUMULATION of
winter tin cans, etc. Some one has
made the suggestion that oRee or twice
during the winter the collection of gar
bage and cans be removed. 1t would
help to get rid of things. But anyhow,
it is good to see the trash going in the
spring. -:

C1TY of great size, countless - races, innumerable tongues, Bombay is in many respects the New York of India. Known as the Gateway to India. Bombay, like New York, is the principal coastal city and Is, moreover. built upon a small island, shaped much like Manhattan. It has nearly l,o0o,- 900 inhabitants.
 No city in the world has a greater variety of race types than has Bombay. Besides the domi- nant element-the Mahratta race there is an influential section of Farsi merchants, Arab traders from the gulf, Afghans and Sikhs, Bengalis, Rajputs. Chinese, Jap anese, Malays, Negroes, Tibetans, Singhalese and Siamese.
 Sixty-two different languages or dialects are spoken in Bombay, Marathi and Gujarati are most widely used. English is spoken by many natives. Altogether strange ,ity is Bombay. It has gas and electric lighting facilities and .heap power, yet throughout the greater part of the city sanitation is bad and malaria is prevalent. In 1900 it lost about one-tenth of It's population through the plague.

though Bob suspected that Pats commonplace exterior concealed a very sentimental heart. He had seen him privately bringing tid-bits for Schmatz, all the time assuming a studied indifference toward the dog, which only the terriers elo- quent tail disproved.
 But this Bracey fellow, and that persistent feeling that he had seen him before-Bob stared out of the window thoughtfully.
 Suddenly he snatched his cap and, Schmatz at his heels, went down the stairway two steps at a time. He had remembered where he had first seen Professor Bracey.
