demand, nor any decided improvement in prices re-

most kinds of wooden goods is large, and the prices
exceedingly low. Until the stock is materially le-
duced, and better prices are realized, there will not
be material increase in the consumption of Wool,
and consequently no great advance can be expected
at present. Boston Courier.
