The Economfsteot Saturday remarks Of tlIe'
New York wool market: .'We have had
another very quiet week, both in domestic
and foreign, manufacturers being determine!
ed not to purchase except under the neces-
sityi of absolute want, and dealers general
ly are determined not to sell except at for
mer rates. In, some instances very slight
concessions have been made, but not
enough to warrant us in saying that there,
has been any marked change In prices. It
is very evident that there Is great anxiety,
on the part both of manufacturers, dealers
and farmers, as to what the price will be-
There has been no sales effected yet, by which
anything can be determined as to what the
price may be. We hear rumors of lots being
bought at low figures, but nothing is said az
condition. of the wool lit is not even stated
whether 1t is washed or ulwashed. But,
from what we can gather from distant MUIR,
murings, there appears to be no reason why
holders OF wool should be over anxious to
press sales, as it will be some time before
the new wool will be In market in sufficient,
quantities to. seriously affect the price of
old WOOL; Our impression is, that wool
can he bought in the Eastern markets at a.
lower figure than It can be bought Westlt
character and condition both being, consid-,
cred. We do not learn buyers and sellers
are any nearer than they were last week:
while desirable lots are growing scarcer evz1
cry day in this market. Thereare but very
1ew choice Ohio lOts-these are held at zoe,
I5c and Soc, and are in very good condl-
tion, and desirable for cashmeres, doeskins,
broadcloths and fine ilannels. Michigan
tleeces are also very scarce, and are held at
10 TO- 70c. Some of these contain moussel-
inc delaiine Wool, bQt, as a general thing,
they are better adapted for cashmeres.' ~.
In Philadelphia The Com. List reports the
market at a stand -. 0f tha na,u oli,1 N fa,,,
small lots from the country Immediately
around the city have been offered at slight
decline. That journal reports sales of some
Ohio fleece at CSC cash. g'... -
In Boston, says The Ploughmdn of Satur-
day, there has been fair demand during
the past week, but prices remain about the
same for all kinds. mo movement of any
consequence in the new clip as yet. Buy
ers have fixed on SOC per pound, at which
price few small contracts have been made,
but this figure is considerably under the
views of growers. The sales Of the week
have been 100000 lbs. fleece and pulled, at
from 5S to zoe for fleece, small lot of choice
ONO selling at the latter rate-and up to
soc for choice grades of extra pulled. In
cluded in the sales were 124000 lbs. choice
Ohio fleece at 75c per lb. In Canada comb
ing there have been sales of 300O lbs at Soc,
and 10000 lbs. at something under this fig
ure. In Canada, contracts have been made
TO some extent for the new clip, at 80 to 42c
per ID. in gold" -. .a,s--0.
A Chicago journal of the 9Th SAYS that a
"few small lots-the first instalment of the
new clip-have been brought forward and
sold at prices ranging from 48 to DOC, the
outside price for very choice" .,.
The Detroit Free Press of the 9Th notes
small sales of the new clip in Michigan for
from 6O to 57c for medium to fine. '
