Remarks-Thc demand continues good and manu-
facturers free purchasers at full previous rates.
ALI grades wanted, and the tendency of rhe mar
ket Is upward. In New York an increased move
ment in woolen goods has impaired an Impetus to
the demand for domestic Wool, manufacturers hav-
ing purchased freely OF medium and the Western
fleece in default Of an adequate supply of the low
grades which are most wanted. There has also been
fair business In Texas and California descriptions
at about previous prices, In Philadelphia there has
been less activity in the article but prices have un
dergone no essential change. There but little
doubt that the stock the Wool products of all the
Western States has been absorbed this year with nm,
usual rapidity, and larger portion OF it than usual
has passed into the hands of speculators, who are
are holding 1t at higher prices than those current
beginning to fall off, and after the arrivals Of the
consignmeuts on the way but little more cen be
obtained except at higher prices.
