FINANCE AND TRADE
Boston Wool Market.

BOSTON, May %.
The receipts for the week have been
IVA bales, against 1882 bales for the
corresponding week of last year. The
sales for the week foot up LOT 900 lbs
of domestic, and 225 bales of foreign.
The activity noticed in our last has
continued, and the transactions for the
week are fully up to those of the previ
GUS one. The sales of pulled wool have
been largely to dealers, but the fleece
has been sold to manufacturers; and the
stock now held here is light. Prices on
combing, delaine or coarse and medium
fleece are unchanged, but XXX woods are
cheaper, and we hear of lot of $4,000
lbs being offered at SOC, while sales of
choice lots of Virginia and Pennsylva-
MIA have been made at 52a54c. Michi-
gan and Ohio y fleece is lower, and
choice woods of this grade have sold
at 4Sc.
There is rather more inquiry for Cali
fornia fleece, but at low figures. In
pulled wool the transactions are mainly
confined to supers, which have sold
quite freely, but at less extent
than last week; extras are not
inal. The market for foreign wool
the past week has been quiet and the
sales light. But little is said in refer
ence to the new clip. The disasters of
the past season will compel many of the
manufacturers to buy from hand to
mouth, and there will be less COMPETE
ton and a closer examination of the
condition of the fleece in the wool-grow-
ing districts than usual. Light we'll
handled lleeces 81 coarse and medium
grades vii command fall prices early
in the season, rs the market is bare OF
this description; but heavy, soggy wool
Will be neg iected and prices rule low.
