ted for further action. The Lodge was then

from out-of-town Lodges present, owing to the
bad state of the weather in the morning, but it
was one of the most interesting sessions that

There is no improvement to notice in the Wool

but foreign Wool is in demand at steady and firm
prices.
In New York there has been considerable inquiry
for foreign since last chiefly for medium grades
but the business transacted has not been large.
In Philadelphia the market has been less firm since
our last notice. and there is less confidence the
part of holders. The manufacturers operate with
caution and manifest no disposition to purchase be-
yond present exigencies.
