rates than have been quoted since the
opening of the season. This decline
amounts to some 5aSc per lb for the last
two or three weeks, though all holders
are not free sellers at the low rates thus
established. There are many choice lots
of staple now held considerably above

They have already worked their sup

however, are prepared TO otake advantage
of the financial necessities of consignors

In cases where holders have manifested

past week considerably exceed those Of
the previous one.
There is not little diversity of opin.

dealers, Some are disposed to take a
hopeful view of the situation, and hold
on till February, unless prices shall i'm
prove in the meantime; while others
think the chances OF any recovery are
doubtful, and are hence inclined to press
sales. At the close, however, with in
creased tirmness in the gold market, and
the foreign staple Offering less freely, the
former seem to be in decided majority.
Sales of domestic for the week foot up
some $50, 900 lbs, at range of 52a75c for

From the New York Economist Dso lo.
We have had another very quite week
Comparatively little wool has been sold,
though there has been some inquiry, and
certain parties are ho7ering round, wait
inc for al opportunity to present itself
where an individual who Is pressed for
money, is ready to sell at 3 low. figure,
when they are willing to operate. Some
of these are manufacturers Others are
willing to speculate in the finer grades,
but for these few are willing to submit
to lower terms. There appears to be, at
the present time, more than Ru ordinary
amount of maneuveriDg between buyers
and sellers; the latter commencing with
the farmer, have formed determination
not to crowd their wool upon the market,
BUYERS have been equally determined
not to crowd themselves upon the mar
ket and the question is often asked,
where dc the manufacturers obtain their
wool from to run their factories ? Both
parties seem to be in a similar situation
to two combatants in the prize ring, who
have exhausted every known strategy to
break each others guard. al last throw

sires to sell he must make some cOnces'

The difference ii the amount oi wool
