WOOL MARKET.
We cannot report any change of impor-
, lance in the wool market. and we do not
, look for any material change at present.
, Wooden goods are very much depressed
with no prospect Of any immediate improve
ment, and it is only on account of the small
stock of wool on the market that present
, prices are sustained. The sales foot up II
fair average, but most of the business has
been done by comparatively few houses
7 Straight lots of Ohio and Pennsylvania
feeces are wanted and good medium. X
I and Xxx readily commands SO to 55c; and q
choice Xxx aud above SIC. These prices are
from to &c higher than the current rates ut
r tins time last year, but the entire stock of fine
r fleeces now on tho market is scarcely large
e enough for AN average weeks business, and
A the few holders of this description are enabl-
= ed to realize extreme prices.
u There continues to he considerable inquiry
/; for cOmbng hoeces and some $4,000 lbs
n domestic have been sold principally at SO to
n Sec. A small lot OF 1000 lbs Canada comb
ing sold on the spot ut Csc, currency, and
the stock here is held at that price.
Pulled woods continue in demand. Some
!, lots of choice Eastern and Maine supers have
4 been sold mt SO to SIC. hut the bulk of the
/ sales have been in the range of As to Soc for
: super and y. Low grades of pulled are still
quite dull and neglected.
