There has been better feeling In our market dur
Ing the past week, but az the offerings still con-
tnue light, there has not been Sufficient business
doIc to enable Us to give detailed report. There
is considerable Wool arriving here, the greater
part Of which is being shipped through on Ea tern
account, and with the exception Of small lots Of
from 10 to 200 eeces, very little finds Its way to
our market. This has been the case for several
scasona, aud is owing to the want Of enterprise on
the part Of onr dealers, Who ought, with little
energy, make Chicago as celebrated for her wool
trade as che is for her Lumber Grain and Packing.
Sales during the week amount In the nejghbor-
hood Of 10000 Ds, at b0057e, and, at the close,

The prominent feature OF the market, during the
week. has been the speculative demand for cotton
goods, induced by the scarcity OF stocks, the rise
In the raw MATERIAL and the critical military sEtua
tiop, which has carried prices up some 2@3c pei
gard, for plain heavy fabrics. Stimulated By this
advance and the probability that cottous may rule

to great extent, resumed operatfons but for the
last lew days have Withdrawn many OF their goods

crabiy We the views of jobbers, who selling
lower than commission houses, and retailers even
lower than jobbers. All parties, however. arc In.
elined to hold back and prefer ceiling bY the piece
rather than by the package Lnrge outside lots OF
cotton goods have also changed hands within the
week at an improvement in prices. The tenden-
tv for the present is undoubtedly upward.
Heavy etandayd brown eheettngS arc now held in
