| There has been fair business in domestic WOOL but
prices have favored buyers. The sales comprise 3O0,
| 900 lbs fleece and pulled at S. n SOC, mostly fine
! fleece at 81 ~ SOC y H.; 95c is now an extreme
! price for the finest grades. In New lork says the
shipping List, the market hps been quiet, and We hear
! OF very little wool sold. Manufacturers have pur-
chnrsed mostly from the trade, and the sales Of pecu
ators have stopped for the present. The hucuation
III gold has alarmed them, and the possibility of de-
cline has checked operations. Prices firmly held,
however, and we do not make any alterations in our
quotations If gold takes start again upwards wool
will be more animated. Domestic wool Is likewise
quiet, and we have nothing of importance to notice.
In Philadelphia, says the Commercial List there has
been less activity in the market since our last report
and not much disposition on the part Of manufacture
| ers to operate. The receipts are trhng, and the
stocks in the hands Of the dealers being less than mt
this period for many years past, holders firm in
their views The sales range from Coo for unwashed,
and 97l for tub, to 81 90 81 o5, for fne-all cash.
