FINANCE AND TRADE.
Boston Wool Market.

BosToN, February Is.
The market has been active during
the past week, with manufacturers
coming i'll for supplies of fine fleece
wool adapted to their seasonable re-
quirements. In fact, if they buy any
thing in the shape of fleece wool, it
must DC of the extra grade or above, the
market being quite bare of the coarser
descriptions.
A large amount of low pulled wool
has also been taken in the absence OF
the corresponding grades of fleece. West
ern pulled woods are coming forward in
large quantity, and, being in rather q
mixed condition, are selling at compar-
lively low prices. There is very little
fleece wool coming forward, since the
clip was long ago pretty thoroughly
cleared out of all the western wool
growing States.
The transactions for the week include
several round lots and very choice full
blooded Pennsylvania and Ohio fleece,
on terms which in some cases are not
made public. Buyers, in view of the
advancing tendency of wool prices, are
picking up desirable lots of staple very
quietly, and are cautious about making
any movement calculated to excite the
market and stimulate competition.
They are just now obliged to resist the
demand for materially higher range of
prices. since they really cannot afford to
pay them as goods are now selling.
Hence wool cannot be expected to ad-
vance much until its manufactured pro-
ducts begin to move off, and realize fair
ly remunerativc prices.
Combing woods are very scarce and
command extreme rates, ranging at Goa
Csc for good lots of native, and 72a75c
fer close graded Canada.
Sales of domestic for the week have
been fair, and foot up about 100000
lbs, at a range of 4Sa63c for fleece and
46a55c for the various grades of pulled
In Combing, sales 7OO0 lbs unwashed
domestic, Ale; 2000 lbs washed do Coo;
1000 Canada, 73Ic; 1000 lbs Maine de

Well Attested Cure Of Catarrh

DIR. A. P. LIGHTHILL-DRAI SR:-Your
treatment in the cure of my Catarrh has had
the desired effect, and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurable, and had exhaust
ed all other modes of treatment, without the
least benefit. My case was so chronic and
troublesome, that by giving a few of the symp
toms the value of your treatment can be more
readily estimated. For years had been afllict'
ed with constant cold in the head, obstructing
my breathing SO as to necessitatc me to keep my
mouth open during sleep; latterly, the discharges
became solidifcd and impacted in my nose to
such an extent that it required the greatest ex
ertion to expel them Sometimes these hard
ened Jumps would get in my throat, causing me
TO hawk and scrape oven by the hour to relieve
myself Ny breath was offensive; my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light head
ness made their appearance, and of late symp
toms of paralysis stepped in, and when places
myself under your care one side of my face was
badly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen
eral health suffered alike, there was a constant
tired, drowsy and debiltated feeling, with nc
energy to move or act; I felt as tired or rising
in the morning as 1 did on going to my bed, my
appetite was capricieus and my disposition
morose. In that condition I placed myself un
der your care, and am happy to state that al
those disagreeable and dangerous symptoms
have entirely left me, and once more enjoy the
benefits of good health.
By giving this publicity you will benefit
others similarly affected and oblige me-
