Boston Wool Market.

The wool market is more quiet, and
transactions lighter than for many
years past, towards the close of the sea-
son. There is very little actual demand
in view Of the dizziness of products, and
the still more important fact that the
new wool clip promises to come upon
the market at very low prices. Manu-
facturers buy only what material they
are compelled to use, and their wants,
Just now, with large part of our wool
en- machinery lying idle, are very linn
! tied.
But stocks of desirable fleece wool,
adapted to the production of seasonal
BILE goods, are reduced to small COM
pass, and hence holders are not anxious,
and prices are tolerably well sustained.
According to present indications and
reports from the West, new wool will
not be in the Eastern markets to any
great extent for several weeks to come,
and in the meantime consumers have
generally made up their minds to rely
upon those near by markets for current
supplies. They may be compelled to
send into the country, in some cases,
where very choice lots of fine staple are
wanted for certain specialities, as this
grade is now nearly out of the market.
But as general thing they will not,
and need not, anticipate the regular
course of trade. ,......r....-.l-.t
Hence, with the prospect that old
wool will be sold close up, and that new
wool may be had at moderate figures
whenever it shall be wanted, both buy
ers and sellers are Indifferent, and not
much change in values is expected, at
least until the next wool season is fair
ly inaugurated. The speculations in
regard to the opening prices Of the new
clip are extremely vague and contra
dictory. In fact, no reliable opinion
can be formed till the wool is fairly off
the sleeps back and ready for the mar
ket.. Growers talk relatively high
prices, of course, rs it is for their inter
est to do. But when they come to the
actual matter of business, and find that
their product will be left on their hands
and unless they are willing to part with
it at rates which will enable Eastern
merchants and manufacturers to make
living, they will probably abate their
demands somewhat.
