MARKET IN FELT WOOLS
Interest of American Buyers Centered in Sales in
London and Brisbane, Australia.
Hardware, Felts, Cloths, Hammers, etc
for Pianos. Organs, Players. Talking
Machines, Special Stampings, Turn-
ings, etc., when you order from us.
The Commercial Bulletin, Boston, in regard to the
wool market said this week:
"Holiday dullness has prevailed this week, although
prices have been steadily maintained for the most
part both here and in the West, where wool is being
moved fairly steadily from first hands.
"Interest has centered chiefly on the sales in Lon-
don and in Brisbane, -Australia. Good merinos have
been fully maintained at both points while inferior or
average merinos have shown a slight decline of pos-
sibly 5 per cent. Crossbred wools in the London
sales declined as expected, 5 to 7J/2 per cent. Amer-
ica has thus far been buying little or nothing abroad.
"The goods markets are complicated by the ending
of one strike and the threat of another on the part
of the ladies' garment workers' union. Consumption
at the mills has continued to taper off. The trade
is now awaiting the opening of lightweight goods.
"Mohair is slow but steady."

New York Dealers Are Charged with Selling Fake
Tubes Under False Label.
Detective Henry Wittel, the radio expert at the
Astoria precinct, New York, believes that he has
solved part of the radio trouble that has existed in
that part of the city. The residents of the district
have been complaining that their radio sets refused
to operate.
Robert Donady, of 155 Fifth avenue, Astoria, had a
little more difficulty than others, and he was particu-
larly aggravated because he had bought an expensive
outfit and had it installed by experts. Several days
ago he took the apparatus apart looking for trouble
and came to the belief that it existed in his tubes.
These were labeled "Radio Corporation of America."
He took the tubes to the company's office in Man-
hattan and he was told that the tubes, although bear-
ing the trademark, were not manufactured by the
corporation.
Donady reported to Detective Wittel and Wittel
went out and arrested Benjamin Birnbaum, 52 Morn-
ingside avenue, Manhattan, and Joseph Haberman,
217 East 182nd street, the Bronx, who were selling
radio parts at 426 Broadway, Astoria.
Both men were arraigned in the Long Island City
Police Court ' charged with selling tubes wrongly
labeled and were held for examination.

nection in every room. For convalescent patients
there will be a roof garden, also equipped with con-
venient radio connections. Financed on a plan per-
mitting the public to share in both management and
profits the institution will cost approximately $700,-
000.
