There has been q moderate demand for wool dur
Ing the past week, and the sales have been mostly
confined TO small lots wanted for immediate con.
sumption, There 10 no material change to note IN
prices, which are relatively full and strong for the
low and medium grades Of both fleece aud pulled.
The demand is Q restricted by the meagre
assortment Of staple Offering, las usual towards the
choice in making their selections.
The new clip comes forward slowly, owing to the
depressed condition Of the great consuming mar
kets, anu the extreme caution OF country buyers
There are said 10 be fair invoices ON the way, how
ever, aud a few early lots OF Michigan aud Ohio
heeee have been received and sold here. But as
these receipts come upon a dull market, and have
70 encounter the competition OF old wool, which u
much preferred by manufacturers, they necessarily
realize comparatively low prices. In fact, wool
prices here upon the seaboard, at the opening Of the
season, are below the level Of the West, and growers
are holding their product at figures which must
compel operators TO stand aloof ul the equilibrium
il restored. M .n-.f.F q
Thus far, but a very small portion Of tho new clip
has been sold out OF first Enthusiastically enough 10
establish prices in those localities where buyers are
operating, Eastern dealers are not yet in the held
70 any extent, and very little, II any, has been pur'
chased on account OF manufacturers.
As regards the opening prices Of the new clip, We
hear OF limited transactions in Michigan at a range
Of S5atOci in Ohio at s5a45c, mostly at 9sa4oc for
straight lots averaging extra, and, IN the southeast
eTn counties Of that state, a few fancy clips Of thor,
oughbred saxony have been taken on speculation at
ooe and upwards; In New York, We have account
