New York Wool Market,

The demand for all kinds of wool j;
greater than the supply. The transaction:
are, however, limited, rates of interest be-
ing large, and prices being by buyers con
sidered exorbitant. The stock of Domes
tic Fleece and Pulled Woods in this mark
ct does not exceed 100000 Tbs. and the
stock Of Foreign is computed at 1,oOo,-
OO0-
The stock is, therefore, quite low, and
the other seaboard markets, as well as
those of the interor, are believed to be in
the same condition. There will therefore
be considerable difficulty in consumers OBJ
tanning their supplies. The sales of fleece
comprise about $4,000 fbs at 5O@55c. fol
Super, and 5s@6s3c. for choice and select
ed Fleeces. OF Pulled Wool some 15.e0O
