The transactions in eeces have been the smallest for
weeks, but the principal holders are busy de-
lvering what was previously sold, there has been
anxiety TO realize their part and offers for round
lots very nearly to full current prices have been
declined. Some low and undesirable teeces might be
purchased at some concession but all straight lots OF
Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania are held hrm The
remark also applies to pulled Wool. Some low
supers have been forced of at concession but for all
desirable lots full previous preess have been obtained
