Boston Woo. Market.

BOSToN, December Ii.
In the wool market we are enabled to
note decided improvements; and it is
safe to say that the favorable reaction,
so long deferred and anxiously looked
for, has at length set in. These remarks
apply not only to our local trade, but to
all the great distributing markets in
the country, which have lately exhibit
cd increased iirmness and activity.
The aggregate transactions during
the past week have been quite large,
and comprise several round lots of
choice fleece wool, taken by manufac-
turing corporations, at higher figures
than have lately been quoted. Among
them we specially note sale of 10000
lbs. Pennsylvania, double extra and
above, ut 6Oc, and another of $4,000 lbs.
very choice do. at &c.
Indeed, the woods are looking up, with
good inquiry, and the supply of really
choice domestic staple, adapted to the
manufacture of light spring goods, is
quite limited. The scarcity and high
price of fine foreign woods IN ust, also,
materially enhance the value of cores
ponding grades of the home grown arti-
Gle.
Low and medium Western woods are
sold close up; there is still considerable
inquiry for these grades, and good con-
ditioned lots are very quick of sale at an
advance of 3a4c per ID. Pulled woods
are quiet, Combing and delaine woods
are in fail demand.
Sales of domestic wool for tue week
have been large and foot up 1,275, 600
pounds at range of 37a62c for fleece,
and 25a45!c for the various grades Of
pulled. q. ..
