Bo,ton Wool Market.

.-- BOSTON, SepteiuDeT 20.
The wool market has ruled quiet dur
ing the past week, and values are with
out appreciable change. The falling
off in the aggregate of sales, however,
is not due to any change of feeling, but
must be regarded as merely an incident
in the course of trade, which sometimes
brings in large number of buyers TO-
gether, and thus alternates the volume
of business from week to week. Sew
eral large consumers were in the mar
ket last week, and filled up their stocks
of material so that they will not neces-
sarily be obliged to operate again Tor
several weeks to come. But the av-
erage sales, of late, have not been much
in excess OF the current wants OF con-
sumption, and manufacturers will be
obliged to take about the usual guam
tity of staple hencefOrward, even if
they do not anticipate their wants.
We observe that prices are without
material change. But if anything, fine
and choice woods are tirmer than last
noted, and holders are rather indiffer-
ent to sales at present quoted rates.
They take hopeful view of the situa-
ton, which seems to be justified by the
extraordinary demand consequent upon
the practical exclusion OF tine foreign
woods from the markets of the country,
and believe that the supply of domestic
will hardly suffice for the exigencies OF
home consumption. 1t is true that the
stocks now offering are ample for pres
ent use. But the demand runs largely
upon fine wool, and is likely to do so
for several months to come; and, at the
present rate of consumption, the article
must be scarce and higher long before
the end of the season.
