torior. Tho developments affect-
ing tho market since January 1
1001 aro roviuwed in detail.
It is cortamly a moHt romarka-
blo showing. Wo cannot recall a
year in which thoBiipplies of wool
on tho inarkot havo been reduced
to ouch small dimtnsiona as thoy
aro nt tho present tiino certain-
ly thoy have not been ho Hinall at
tho close of any year of which a re-
cord Iiiih 'teen kopt. Tho caiiHo of
tli is lias lieen an unprecedentedly
largo demand for consumption
which Hot in at the In-ginning of
tho Hummer at a time when the
available storks of old wool on
hand had lieen reduced to very
nioilorale dimensions The mills
wore very hungry for word and
for months they wero free liuyers;
indued at times there deemed to
ho a perfect scranilile for wool aH
tho result of the very limited
stocks carried liy intuiufaoturorB
the improvement in the goods
situation and the enlarged de-
mand for fabrics.
The consequence has been that
wo find that the stocks of wool in
tho Boston market now aggregate
only 28810000 pounds including
foroigu wools and wools of every
doscrintion as comparod with 85.-
1)80000 pounds a year ago and 78-
820000 pounds two yours ago.
Tho total stocks of wool in the
United States exclusive of manu-
facturers' holdings are only 50-
571078 pounds as compared with
158127700 pounds a year ago.
Tho sales of wool in tho Boston
market for tho voiir have reached
the largo total of t2.)8l()7.00()
pounds as against 21 2 07 1000
last year. The stocks of wool
in some of tho principal markets
of the country will he soon by a

oquallod tho&o of last your. They
would havo been largo if wools
suitiiblo to Amorica hud bcon ob-
tainable. But the stock was not
to ho hud and this was especially
truo of medium and low wools
especially carpet wools tho de-
mand for these classes of stock as
tho result of the war in the oast
having absorbed unusually large
amounts.
'1 hero has naturally been a rad-
ical advanco in the price of wool
as tho result of tho foregoing con-
ditions both at homo and abroad.
Of this romurkuhlo udvuvco in
tho piice of wool by fur thogrout-
or has occurred in tho Inst liulf of
tho your. It is needless to suy
that it has been a profitable year
to tho wool inerchantH who se-
cured tho clip of the country at a
roasonublo price and who by
reason of tho subsequent advance
in markot values were able to
reap haudsoino profits.
From tho tables presented else-
where it will bo seen that tho
size of the wool product of the
country this year has not materi-
ally differed from that of tho pro-
vious year. Tho ontiro produc-
tion was 205 SO!) 029 pounds
us comparod with 298810818
pounds tno previous year and the
number of shoop at the spring
shoaring occlusive of lambs was
10121477 pounds ns against -10-QuS.'MO
pounds in 100!). Tho
uvorago weight per lloeco how-
ovor was just a triilo less being

Tho closing week of the your
has been marked by quite a little
addition to the volume of busi-
ness in progress the sales reach-
ing a good sized total in view of
the interuption caused by the
holiday. The increase in husf-
Hess was the result of an improv-
ed demand from Philadelphia
worsted manufacturers and every
large consumer of wool. Among
tho sales woro 2000000 pounds
of Wyoming at full prices und a
half million pounds of Montana.
Tho yoar closes with a very strong
market and with prices at tho
highest level of the year Tho
strength of the situation is in-
creased by the last reports from
abrond anil from the interior of
tho country where the clip of 1005
is being contracted for on tho
sheep's back at high prices.

Mr. Armour of tho Fort Worth

that Toxub farmers would mako

is a reminder that tho late John

packing business at Fort Worth
oncountored tho samo difficulty of
which Mr. Armour speaks and
attoinpted to romovo it by im-
porting brood sows and selling
thorn to Toxaa farmors on credit
to bo paid for with hog shipments
to his packing houso. Tho ques-
tion of feed for tho hogs vas one
that ho was novor able to solve to
tho satisfaction of tho farmers and
ho was finally compollod to admit
tho dofoat of his plans It is ap-
parent liowovor that in a land as

are for this reason all the more

This is in reality all that could
be desired by the prohibitionists.
As long as the law is observed it is
bettor to have the open saloon
than the Hub and if the saloon
people will do according to the
plans as outlined by the brewers
it is believed that the question
will have progressed a long way
toward its solution.
The light of the brewers is not
confined to the violations of the
law by the saloons but will bo
made on gambling. In fact there
has already been a system of war-
fare waged on gambling in several
of tho Texas cities. This tho re-
ports has it is being done by the
brewers who havo gono so
far as to employ detectives in ad-
dition to tho regular polico force
of tho different cities whero the
fights havo been inado to aiiBist

Some of our very good friend9

who say to the editorof this news-
paper .
"I like your newspaper I be-
lievo you are sincere. I know
you pny higher wages and salaries
thun anybody else but I think
you go to excess. I think you
talk too much ubout good pay for
working people. I think you
don't consider sufficiently the' in-
terests of business men who need
reasonably priced labor if they
want to prosper."
To all of these well meaning
friends and critics we ofl'er the
following statement clipped from
an old fogy newspaper one which
knowtows to the man with the
dollar and pays its men as little
as it can:
"Tho 700 shoemakers' shops in
Canton employ bOOO men and
on
000 women who work from clay
light to dark Since the recent
introduction of kerosene lamps
their hours even have been length-
ened. They get from about $2. GO
to $5 a month in wages and their
meals consisting of rice and salt
fish."

Why don't you abandon the I

The business ninii who should
go out to Canton delighted with
tho labor conditions would come

como bnck with kindlier feelings
