cult TO reallEe over 47c v n. Any advance these
condition. The best lots Of California Spring readily
command 35c H. and the bulk of the sales have been
in the range OF 30 "a 3ic v b. Sales Of domestic and
Canada combng at 81 "a 62ic
Manufacturers, condne their purchases almost exclu
sivey TO domestic Wool, and the clip passing into
hands Of consumers much more rapidly than last year
IL is very generally admitted that prices rule low but
quite as high as the present condition OF the manuac
turing business warrants
AdVces from abroad are still quite favorbe and tho
scarcity OF vessels and high rates OF freight alone inter
feres with large export movement from this port and
New York, Manufacturers in France, Germany and
Great Britain faly employed. Teographic adyices
In relation to the opening OF the London sale even
more favorable than were anticipated.
In the interior no material change has taken place.
The clip OF Michigan has been pretty much bought up
and in Ohio aud Pennsylvania more or less Wool is sell
ing from AZ % 4je h, but buyers appear to be ope
rating cautiously and large portion Of the wool is
coming forward on consignment. For some weeks to
come We eok for very large receipts but not Is "a

Wisconsin, Michigan or Ohio heeces for the present.
