WOOL AND WORElTED.—Besoroan,
There is Man life in the market to-day. There has been
more inquiry and more doing in wool than for same time past,
especially in the bright-haired class, and, if anything, at
rather better prices. The prices of almost every other dams
seem to be more arm than they were some time ago, a dr.
cumstanoe no doubt to be accounted for by the fact that them
is not the there wns some time ago on the part of
needy holden to realise in order to meet liabilities. Man
wool bas changed hands during the week than for some
time. The export houses are on the look out, and have made
some purchases. Still the business doing is nothing to boast
of ; but the action in the right direction gives more cheerful-
ness to the market. Noila and brokes fetched better pried.
In yarns there Is more doing. The export houses seem die
posed to break through the dull monotony observable so leap
and are inquiring for anything serviceable, especially in
quarters where neomaity compels a sale. This is merely the
draw that shows the way the current rune, but as such it
indicates the return of a healthy demand when these "job
lota " an cleared off. Ia cotton yarns spinners are seeking
an advance upon the recent ruinous prices. In pieces the
attendance of buyers is small, and the transactions continua
of =sirs character.
