Boston, July 21.-The Bulletin says:
With the virtual defeat of the new tar
if, and the new clip pouring in very
rapidly, the mool market has ruled very
heavy during the past week, and previ-
GUS rates have been fully sustained.
Though the receipts have been immense,
the sales foot up smaller than for any
previous week Of the season.
From the country We learn that buy
ers are rather precipitately retiring from
the market, ami the movement OF the
new clip, from first hands, has received a
check. Good lots go a begging at rates
which they would have commanded a
week or two ago. But growers, on the
whole, are not disposed to make any
concessions as they are able to hold, and
have not given up their hopes of re
vision of the tariff next December.
We advise both buyers and sellers to
keep cool, if possible, till the present
accumulation upon the Eastern markets
is worked of, and the trade in Fall goods
has fairly set in. Then they can tell
better what is best to be done; and they
may rest assured that wool will bring
what it is worth if not forced upon an
unwilling market.
Holders here are acting upon this con.
sentative principle. They are not pres
sing sales, nor even selling freely, at the
reduced rates offered by consumers, and
the bulk of stocks is held above the
market. as
Sales of domestic for the week foot up
some $4,000 lbs at q range of 50a70c for
fleece, and 35a70c for the various grades
