BosToN, Jan. 6.--The Com. Bulletin says
the activity noted in our last has eOntiha-J
ed through the present week. As a natural
consequence, the market is gaining strength,
and there is a buoyant and hopeful feeling"
in trade circles. manufactures arein wanCsi
of material for immediate use, and beingri
satisfied that prices have touched the low
est point are buying right and left wher-
ever desirable lots are Offering at curreht5
quotations. At these rates, however. the,
1 best woods in the market are not to be had,
| and many large holders of choice staple
have withdrawn their stocks, and prefer
! holding till February, when they feelsure
of more renlunerative Oprices. The seoh-p
| sumptiEe demand alone, for the next Two
months, will be sufficient, it is thought, to
| carry prices up to materially higher "
| range; and, in case speculative movement
should supervene, which is by no means
| improbable, extreme rates would belestaba

not yet wanted for consumptioni neYerthS-
