WOOL MARKET.
The transactions in domestic Wool have again been
quite large, upwards of 20j0000 Tbs for the week and
rs intimnted in last report now fleece Wool is rap
idly passing into the hands Of manufacturers.
In prices no material change has taken place. Manu-
cturers are disposed to buy freely and it is notice
able fact that che principal purchases Of domestic fleece
have been made by mills that last year were running
almost exclusively on Australian.
In relation TO the future Of the market there Is con
siderable difference of opinion. Some months hence
when large percentage of the domestic clip has pass

rule higher but II Is doubtful IL the advance obtained
will more than pay storage and other expenses.
AdVices from abroad continue very favorable, and
clothing Wool meets with rapid sale in the Englisl
market at very full prices.
