The wool market "a dull and unintere ting. The
current demand Is light, and mostly confined 10 lots
oflow grade and low.prced staple. But on the other
hand there Is no pressure to sell, account Of the
small stocks Of desirable staple now held here and In
other seaboard markets t- .
In fact ihe supply Of old wool Of the low and me-
dium grades, which are most wanted, 10 nearly ex-
hausted This Is particularly the case asregards New
York and Philadelphia markets, while Boston Is some
what, though not greatly better on. In the country
al large the Is very little domestic wool remaining

Sun there 10 enough 70 bridge over to the new clip
at the present very moderate rate Of consumption.
The prospect now s that the present wool season will
close upon quiet market, and that In the meantime
there will be no material variation In prices.
But should the goods market start up In June, or
should there be any developments Indicating that
the lew ip would be held back, or open at higher
prices, the result In that will be different, and
shall witness active market and higher prices to-
ward the close as frequently happens At present,
there are are data available, from which any
lIaole calcu alton touching the next clip be FORM

The supply Of hne wool. both fleece and pulled, is
better than that Of any other grade, and prices are
relatively low. Extra pulled wools, partlcul arly,
tend to accumulation and large lots could not be
