WOOL AND WORSTELD.—Baspron, Ann.
There is • steady business doing in wool, at the extreme
quotations which have prevailed for some time past. For
bright-haired err there is still a very good demand, nod
almost any quantity might be sold. Hogs are most in de-
maod, though wedeln are also sold rather freely. Nt'..);.
staplers keep their stocks low. Considering the high quo.
tetras current they deem this course one of Wiry. There
is still • fair business doing in worsted yams, and the tea.
dewy of quotations is upwards. The advancing tendency
of wool tends to iodate caution on the part of the spinner,
who, on amount of the upward tendeocy of wool,
will not accept orders which will occupy him longer
than two months. There is • good demand for
40's, and also for twofolds, especially genappek
A steady trade is also' doing for home and for Lam,
