WOOL MARKET.
The market has quieted down considerable the past
week and although the business has been fair there is
life buoyancy to notice. In New York and Pha-
dephia there is duer tone than here and both
fleece and pulled Wool have been purchased In tho lat
ter market at comparatively low prices Confidence,
remarked in last is not fully restored. Some de-
sirabe lots Of Ohio and Pennsy lyania feeces and
XXX, have been sold At 52l 40 $50 ID, and this Is now
fair quotation. Michigan ranges from AZ 20 SOC, and
Western, Wisconsin and New York from As "a 500 v
y. Choice super and pulled are very generally
held at 5jc but this is extreme price and realized
only for very light and handsome lots. On the whole
prices have been quito steady during the week and
holders closing up stocks fast possible when
responsible parties present themselves.
New Kentucky cOnbing has not yet made its appear
Ance. The is backward, with considerable DIFF
ference between the views Of buyers and sellers The
sale Of Canada eombng last week at soc b. was for
choice selection Fair lines of this description could he
bought for Csc, and unwashed Kentucky would not
bring A. a 4sc Y b. Some small lots Of domestic
have been sold at 55c, and 20OO lbs Australia combng
at SO 10 soc V ID. Manufacturers disposed to hold
back eombng Woods, and the prices asked in the in
terror are altogether above their views.
