woolin New York.

The market for domestic wool is without
change. The demand from consumers is
quite brisk, under slightly improved
movement in goods; but the increased pre-
tensions of holders have restricted bust
ness, as manufacturers strongly protest
that the current prices of their products do
not warrant them in paying an advance.
The demand is running mainly on the or
dinary grades, though we note an increas-
ing inquiry for combing and delaine de-
srriptions, the supply of which is compar-
atively light. The receipts have fallen off,
and the limits on some lots held on con-
signment have been advanced in anticipa-
tion of a better market as the season wears
on. Prices of California and Texas wool
are not SO strong, relatively, as State and
Western, though previous prices continue
to be realized for well-conditioned lots.
Foreign is wholly nominal. The sales are
375 900 lbs State and Western fleece at 400
52c, as extremes, including 10000 lbs Ohio
at 42@50c for No. to double extra; SO ,OOC
lbs Western at. 4O@44c for, Iowa, Illinois
and Wisconsin; 43@47c for Michigan, apC
