WOOL AND WORSTED.—BILADVORD, lAN. B.
There has been more inquiry for wool during the week, and
some sales have been made. Prices rule vary firm for all
kinds, wafer bright haired sorts higher rates ere demanded.
This tends rather to check business operations. In nods and
shorts there I. a steady business doing, with. hardening ten-
dency in priors. The demand for worsted yarns is quits
buoyant, end all the various outlets are open to supplies.
The shipping houses are making inquiries, but we cannot
learn that they have been able to place many contracts. In
piton the traneectione are not numerous, both merchant and
manufacturer being under contract for some time to come.
Any new orders that are taken by manufacturers are at
prices more commensurate with the present prices of cotton
and worsted.
