is quiet, but the prices for good wool are firmly maintained.
There is a very quiet business doing in wonted yarns for
home consumption, nor is the demand for export much
more brisk. In two-fold yarns, which have been se long
quiet, some improvement may be quoted. Stacks have
lately disappeared, and a few orders for these are to be met
with. Super 30's, tol, have been more in demand. Carded
yarns have been quieter, the season being nearly over.
There is not much activity in pieces. The demand for
&nein continues, and merchants are apparently anticipating
their wants in plain goods. Some pretty good orders have
been riven out in plain Orleans, mixed and mottles.
Orleans are rather dearer. There is not much demand for
other kinds of goods. The French houses are operating to
• considerable extent. There is a little better feeling among
American buyers, but their transactions are limited.
