Wool Market. ~

The Economtt of last Saturday remarks
of the New York wool market: "The. past
week has been the holding off week, and
dealers are easier in their terms, and wool
can be bought lower than it could lastweek;
though little concession has yet been made,
the prices may be said to be nominal, and
no Indication at what wool can be bought.
Fine woods are more in demand, while those
suitable for army goods are much lower and
seldom inquired for. Luckily the market
has been pretty well cleared ofnthem. The
stock is very light. The stock of Canada
Combing is also very light with but few
buyers; worsted manufacturers are wait
ing for the Canada clip, when all are going,
expecting to buy cheap. Human nature is
the same everywhere, and the Canadians
understand as much of it as other people,
and OF the wants of our market, and also
its sources of supply the supply and eag-
erness of demand will regulate the price.
The stock of all kinds of wool is rapidly
diminishing, and though the past week has
been very quiet, yet some houses have been
busy, and made some pretty good sales.
The stock Of falpdescriptions is light, but
that will not affeet.the prieeif the wants of
manufacturers are not pressing. A great
many are changing from kerseys to other
styles which will interfere somewhat with
the production, but it isimpossible to say
what the next week will be from what the
past has been. Western is held at 90, GO to
zoe, according to quality and condition;
some Of this would make low eassimeres,
tlannels and blankets. Ohio iislheld at 65, 20
to Toe; much of this is desirable, cashmere
wool, some very good for medium and low
hannels, and some suitable for broadcloth.
Pulled is held from 65, 20 to SOC, and Cana
da Combing stands at S5c; California at 80
to soc; iAlgiers, 80 to 32c; Rabbatt, 26 to 30c
Mestiza, 20 to 34c; Old Clip "a to .29c; Cape,

In Boston, The Shipping List says the stock
of fleece has become reduced to about ], ,500,-
600 lbs, and our average weekly receipts,
lately, have been about 1,500 bales per week.

experienced last week, it isevident, how
ever, that the fleece wool in the country
would soon pass into manufacturers hands,

prices ranging from GO to SOC for fleece and
pulled. Included in the Sales were $4,000
