The Economist ,remarks;,r ''We have had an.
pther quiet week-perhaps there has been q
little more business done than the previous
week; but not sufficient to call At aotive,
manufacturers only buying tomeet those
urgent demands which call for stock or.
stoppage Of machinery. Prices for the low
er grades In poor condition have fallen off,
dealers feeling satisfied that this kind of
stock will rule lower; but for the finer
grades, with gold advancing, there, is no
disposition to accept lower terms, and
many are looking for an advance; inofacty
the same condition of things, exists East as
West. Should there be any thing like an ac-
tive demand next week prices Willadvafice..
This will certainly bethe case with fine
wool if gold continues to ADVANCE Those
coarse woods, both domestic and foreign,
whichihape commanded such high,pricess
and which have been in such great demand,
are now neglected and will soon find their
relative position. IL is now conceded that
better prices will be realized by the far
mers than either manufacturers JordealeIs
expected to pay. q few weeks ago. On this
account Eastern dealers are looking for an
advance on old wool; though the price for
the neville clip appears to be as unsettled as,
1t was q week ago, In the country there
has been but little wool bought. few buyers
having gone out. We have heard of some
small lots being bought in some sections in
this State at 50c while in other places Soc
has been offered and Indignantly refused,
There is no doubt that 50c for some kinds
of State wool Is a high price, yet there hasl
been some lots sold tor 60c. For Michigan
we hear of a few sales at soc, -55 to 6Oc, the
latter price 1t is sad for choice lots; if to this
we add commission and other expenses It
would be worth 65c East, andnew wool be-
ing worth less by DC per pound than old
Nun CHI haxy
Michigan zoe per lb.; but as we know of no.
such lots In the Eastern market, we could.
not say what its value would be. We know,
OF some which could be bought at zoe, and
some for less; but these are not extremely,
choice. The sales for the week aggregate
about 100000 lbs, in lots at so to 65c for Wis
consn. Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania. and
Ohio; 50,0O0lbs unwashed California pulled,
35f; 10000 lbs California on private terms;
as bales Mestiza 29c; II bales unwashed
Odessa, and 40 do DUnskoi on private term;

Tub, 54c; $500 lbs iMestiza. 20oi 30 bales
African, on private terms; $4,000 lbs Mexi-
can, "a to 25c; 100 bales Cape, 81 to 36c; IS

Odessa 25c, gold; 20 bales Odessa and %
do Cape, on private terms; besides other
sales, terms and particu ars not reported"
In Boston The Shipping List says of the
trade OF last week: "Holders of Domestic
have ceased off from to &c per lb, and
manufacturers have. in consequence, pur-
chased pretty freely during the week. The
stock of domestic wool is now quite reduced.
the supply of fine wools having been pretty
much bought up. There is no movement
OF any consequence in the new clip, as vet.
Some few contracts have been made at from
90 to 6Oc per lb, but the new,clip is generally
held above the views of buyers. The sales
OF the week have been $4,000 lbs fleece and
pulled at from 52l6 to 771Sc for fleece, up to
Toto SOC for choice grades pulled. Included
in the sales are 1900 lbs very handsome
Pennsylvania at 7719c; 100000 lbs very
choice Ohio at 75c; 1900 lbs do do at 76c;
10000 lbs do do at 74c; 10000 lbs Wisconsin
at 60e; 1000 lbs do do at 65c; 5,OOOlbs MiChi-
gan at 621ac; 1000 lbs do do at Csc; 1O,OOOlbs
do do at zoe; $4,000 lbs Pennsylvania at PIC
for fine, and zoe for mediUm; 1000 lbs New
Hampshire at65c, and balance at from 521%c
for low grades of Illinois and Wisconsin up
to 72llac for fine Ohio. Prices at the close
may be quoted from 521% to 72l5c except
for an occasional fancy lot of veryItine Ohio
and Pennsylvania, which sells for an ad-
vance on the latter rate" ..r -atsfiEr.,
In Philadelphia The Commercial List SAYS
that the inactive condition of the market
recorded for some time past still exists
manuiacturers purchasing with extreme
caution, In view ofthe large falling off in
the demand for account of army work, saws
that journal, the coarser grades will have to
submit to a heavier proportionate decline
than the better Qualities, and the latter will
probably assume the place they held prior
to- the opening of the war. Among the
sales of the week were the following: Me-
dium and light fleece at 20 to 72c; mixed
fleece at 90 to zoe; some fine Iowa at 54c.
