The wool trade remains the noticed last
week; buyers still quite Indifferent about pur-
chasing beyond immediate wants, and holders not
anxious to realize as prices have settled down to a
point from which further concession is not likely to
be made. Interior markets are also very quiet and
there is no prospect of any active movement in the
new clip for the present.
In New York there IL little more inquiry for for
eign but the market is without any marked change.
Manufacturers only buy as their actual wants COM
pei, and with the high views of the farmers though
out the West for domestic wool, trade is much
stricted.
In Philadelphia the settlement of the tariff ques-
ton caused early in the week better feeling but
yet there has been but little improvement in the de-
| mand from the manufacturers, and the volume Of
business is light. The views of holders still above
those of buyers and in order to effect sales lots have
been closed at prices under quotations. AS yet
there has been but trifing movement in new woods
and prices not developed. Foreign is in good sup
ply. The public sale in London tomorrow is watch
ed with much interest its effect will be felt upon
| values here.

BOSTON, June 18-The shipments of Boots and Shoes
from this market to places outside of New England
for the past week comprise 210 cases. against $500
for the same week last year.
The total shipments from this market since Janu-
airy LIST have been sol cases. against 49 1907
for the same period last year.
The shipments from Lynn for the week have been
1920 cases. against 2246 for the week last
year
The shipments from Haverhill for the week COM
prise 1907 cases. against 1857 for the week
last year.
There has been but very little change to notice. and
although few more factories may have started up,
there are fewer workmen than usual engaged at this
season: In shops where there are generally at this
time of year four five teams busy, there are now
only one or two, and these work but part of the
time; and think in Lynn, Haverhill, and the shoe
towns where womens goods are made a speciality,
there has not been for the past years when
so few goods were in manufacturers hands. There
is quite general feeling that trade will be moderate
and not open early usual Some orders for fall
goods have been placed, and few New York and
some small Western houses have purchased fall goods
but there activity to notice. and trade is likely
to remain quiet until next month.
