Remarks-The Wool market remains as last week
manufacturers continue to purchase wanted, and
.here Is little life to the trade but at the low prices
now ruling stocks are held firm.
In New York very soon the forces of the contend
ing parties will meet upon the field of action. There
never was time when manufacturers had so much
at stake as they have at present in sustaining the
price Of WOOL and hence if the farmers wise they
Will sell them in preference to local dealers and spec
uiators. We have no fear that manufacturers will
give every mill for Wool it is worth as opera
lions commence but until then all talk about prices
can only be regarded as CANNON for the Wool market
stlll retains its element Of strength.
