BOSTON WOOL MARKET.

From the Commercial Bulletin, 10Th inst.
There has been quite an active demand for
wool the past week, and the reports of trans
actions show that an increasing proportion Of
new fleece wool is selling. There has bee n
very little change in prices of dom este wool
though there is some irregularity, and slight
concessions have been made in sons ca ses'
AS whole, however, the market is firm, re
cent advices from t1e West indicating that
the farmers are getting full prices for the
wool now selling, and that they are holding
very firmly. 1t is very difficult to get more
than soc for domestic fleece wool. though an
occasional lot of very choice old brings tri-
file more. We quote choice Ohio at 49@52c,
Including old Michigan, 46@5Oc; Wisconsin,
45@47c.
The demand for pulled wool has been fair,
and prices remain about last reported.
Stocks are not heavy, but are ample to sup
ply present wants.
California wool continues in good demand,
and prices are firm, and without material
change
The demand for foreign wool has been light.
At present prices it is more expensive than
domestic, but holders are unwilling to meet
the market, hoping tor alize more than pres
ent prices by reshipping, as prices abroad are
higher than they are here, We quote Austria
liam at 5O@52c, and Cape 3I@36c.
