The wool In Ohio Is still moving slowly. 10
The past ten days have shown slightly
improved condition of the figures offered, w
and the average has now reached fully 65c, ~,
Many lots selling at from 20 to 75c, while :,
vet the majority of the purchases have been
at Coo and under. A Acorrespondentl lwritesdi
us from Jefferson county: '.Wool dealers
are showing themselves little-a very few,
good lots have been taken at 75c. Farmers
are careless at that price-some aredisposed
to hold at soc. Wool could have been oi
bought easier in June than now.p From b
Harrison county we learn that during the d,
ten days prior to the I'd, fully one hundred
thousand pounds of choice wools were
bought there at from 20 to 75e. After that I
date the sales fell fsbut no nodisposition was
evipced by growers to submit to lover \,
and BUYERS are not yet Offering over 60c. y
In Madison the past week, the movements
reported as pretty brisk at65c. The whole II
sales in the State, so far as our reports ex7,,
tend, indicate an Improvement of fully l0c
perRoundT during the past two weeks. ma
The Neso York Eoonontist of Saturday last
