WOOL MARKET.

There is more inquiry for many descriptions of wool;
and the decline in price is stopped, in consequence of the
continued demand and the not executive supply ; and as
it is now full three months before the new clip will be
taken off, mid more then that before any quantity will
arrive in the North Country markets, it is not supposed
the will be any difficulty in the disposal of wool at fair
rates, if the market continues to lie gradually supplied
according to the requirements of the consumers. Is
fact, some persons expect an advance before long,
whilst others merely look for a continuance of present
rat,s.
