u NEW York Wool MARKEF-The market contn-
ues without any real tone or vitality; it is strict
spasmOdiC and nothing more. One day it appears
as though new life had been infused into its veins;
/ the next day it is completely parayzed. It was
: expected last week by some that prices would be
q much better but the low prices at which woolens
are selling are discouragtng that manufacturers
in toOindny cases feel more like stopping their
mills than buying wool. The downward tendency
of cotton well as that Of gold, does not favor
8 ably affect the price of woo; yet dealers are not
SO anxious to sell as they were short time ago,

make them as good as they were before they pur-

not lack tone or activity everything that at all

Coarse and medium woods continue in better de-
mand than fine wool, manufacturers finding ii
much more profitable (if there is any profit any
where) to make medium cassimeres than tnel

bring better returns than finer ones, and particQ'

a larger amount Of fine wool to make heavy goods
