For the lower qualities no special improve

In the Mahoning region the best fguresl

the trade there. In Ashtabula this rate has
induced many to lettheir wooIslide. Dnrs
ing the week the buyers In Lcking ipicked
up about -thirty-thousandu pounds at from
90 to 65c.a In Madison and Franklin the
trade was quite free at 60c, but choice lots
were held higher-thel most OF that sold
being of medium grades. The indicatiops
are that buyers are fast picking. up all the
woods Of Ohio, except the very choicest, at
figures that win barely average probablyG

no special necessity, tor this hurry IN sell

that the market East Is nearly orquite bare

forward is picked up as rapidly as it can be.

Of Saturday remarks q ''The inquiry for
wool during the past week has been quite
active, but the amount of business done has
been rather small, from the fact that there
is but small amount ofwool In, the MARKET,
The oldest wool dealers are agreed that
there never was so small stock OH hand

at high figures, which buyers consider be,

as very little choice wool has fouhd its way
to the market" Some good but rather
heavy State wool has been received and,
sold. The new wool that comes in in
very small lots, and is sold as quick as tits
put on the market, which being at lower
figures than old wool is held at 1t sells
readily. The small quantities which have
arrived from places westIof this, State are
rather low, and have been bought at figures
corresponding, while good lots, we are in
formed, cannot be bought in Michigan for
less than 60 cts., while 60 cts. is asked for
the best lots, and farmers are quite indffer-
ent about selling at even that price The
prospects are encouraging for good fall
trade, and the manner in which gold keeps
up makes imported goods stand at high
figure. This sells our home production at
a good price, and were it not for fear of
running the price of wool up, we have no
doubt but manufacturers would purchase
largely at present rates. Still theluncer-
tainty OF the currency will check specula-
ton, and we expect wool will arrive in
small lots and will be so bought, such con-
dition of things being demanded by the
circumstances which control all our COM
mercial relations. The sales for the week
