Boston Wool Market.

There Is very little to be said about the
Wool market this week. Trade has been
very light, and the sales foot up less than
In any previous week for several months.
Buyers are In the market In fair numbers,
but show no disposition to purchase heav.
lily at any price which dealers would con.
slider, and holders are not anxious to
force Wool upon the market. 1t is diff
cult to give quotation Tor Fleece Wool
which will represent the condition Of the
market. Prices take q considerable range,
and are based upon q great variety OF cir
cumstances. A cash buyer can probably
purchase Ohio Wool about two cents q
pound better than two weeks ago, say at
even hall dollar. Buyers who wish the
usual credit find prices about the same as
before the beginning Of the panic, and al.
so find dealers not anxious 10 sell, Us they
are confident OF the future of the market.
The sales reported are hardly numerous
enough to indicate the condition Of the
market, but are about the only criterion
The highest prices are usually for time
sales. ? Z , ~ 'IH [7tn3lH iR5
