( of the New York Wool marketfor the
last week, The Economist OF the 3d inst. re-
marks; ''Sinoe our last there has been more
activity in the market, and though manu-
facturers have only been bdying small lots
TO carry them along till the new wool gets
into market, last weeks prices have been
fully maintained, particularly for the finer
grades; while, if any concession has been
made it has been for the lower grades, such
as have been in demand tor armyikerseyA
and which, for the past four years, have
com9ianded higher price than better quail
tiles. These are now finding their proper
place. They are not, however, entirely
neglected, for there are many goods for
which they are well adapted such as low
flannels, blankets, Scotch mixes, shawls
and coarse cassimeres; and for these uses
there will be demand when they occupy
true position. The best grown of these
descriptions are well adapted for nous. de
LANES; in fact, 1t is from this source that a
large portion of this wool comes, and for
which there Will be large demand. At
present. nous. de laine feeces are very
scarce in the market, and the general inn
preston is, that the stock of wool in the
hands OF manufacturers and dealers Is light
erthan has been for many years past. This
keeps dealers from pressing sales, they feel
ing confident that prices will not recede
further. '.'' ''"N'
''"Western fieeces may be quoted at go to
65c for those In good condition, suitable for
low and medium iiannels and coarse eassi-
meres. Michigan, of which there is very
little in the market, CO. G5 to zoe; York State
ranges from So, 90, 65, 20 to 75c. the condition
of these heeces varying in the price more
than In the quality; in fact, in some cases
the grades bring the lowest price on account
oftheir being so very heavy. These woods are
well adapted to the best descriptions of cas-
simeres, doeskins and threadbares. Ohio
fleece, Pennsylvania and Virginia, range
from 90, 20, 20 to Soc; this embraces wide
range OF grades, and a great diversity in
condition; some of the best would make
splendid warps for broadcloth. The small
amount of nous. de laine heeces are held at
20 to 75c, according to quality. Canada
combing is exceedingly scarce, and cannot
be bought for less than 90c. Pulled wool
continues scarce, and ranges from 60 to 75c,
according to condition and quality; Califor-
MIA, from 20 to 45c, according to condition
and quality"
The Boston Shipping List of Saturday COM
ments as follows on the market in that city
the remark as to growers making up their
mind to accept lower prices being the ques-
tionable part of the report: THE market has
the past week, and prices are gradually
settling down, although no material change
has taken place in either fleece or pulled.
AS regards the new clip there has been no
movement as yet. Advices from the wool
growing districts indicate that growers are
gradually making up their minds to ac-
cept lower prices, and it is now generally
believed that the clip will open at about
SOC per 10. for good lots. The sales of the
hou hon he ,,,n
ed at prices ranging from 571s to zoe for
fleece, up to SOC for very choice extra pulled.
| Included in the sales were 10 0000lbs Illinois,
at prices ranging from 80 to zoe, the latter
very choice. equal to good Ohio; 5000 lbs
! Illinois at 571I; 10000 lbs do at 60c; 5000
lbs do at 60 to 6215c; 5000 lbs Western, at
6Oc; 10000 lbs common New York at 64c;
1000 lbs Wisconsin, at 63c; 1900 lbs New
York at 65c; 5000 lbs do. at &c;
100000 lbs in lots, at 60c for common
Western, up to 75c for choice Ohio 5000
lbs choice Ohio, at 75c; $1,000 lbs superior
do, 76c; $4,000 lbs extra pulled, at 6716 to
76c; and small lots of choice extra at SOC
per 10. Prices at the close may be quoted
at 90 to. 75c for common to choice fleece, up
to 75c for best extra pulled, although some
lots are still held as highas SOC, but this is
now very difficult figure to realize. One
fancy clip of 5000 lbs choice Pennsylvania
solu at flgure which we were requested
not to report. as the invoice was of very
superior quality, and the price would be no
criterion of the MARKET .-oor...f Ga.
In Philadelphia, The Commercial List re-
ports sales last week Of mixed Ohio at zoe,
and gives go TO zoe as the range of sales.A
That journal remarks of the Philadelphia
market: THE inactive condition OF, the
market, noted for some time past, still con-
times, and prices may be quoted 1 to &c per
10 lower. The manufacturers purchase on
ly to supply their most necessitous wants,
confident of a still lower range, of figures
as soon as the new clip makes its appear
7anee! The dealers are not operating to any
extent)in the West, as the present aspect of
financial affairs, and trade generally, will
not warrant purchases at the extraYagant
figures demanded by the growers" " '''S ..,
