Wool remains without change, and we netico tho
same quiet tone pervadirg the market Business
will be small until after the year. but holders
are indifferent, as they confident that the COM
paratively small stochs they have on hand will be
wanted. Many of our manufacturers now claim
that they have four and six ,nths stock on hand
but we never knew the time when prices advanced
that manufacturers did not have a large stock on
hand, and soon afterwards the holders Of the largest
stocks were the most anxious buyers.
In New York there has been very little accom-
plished in the Way Of trade. A few manufacturers
have been in the market looking for bargains. but
they have accomplished but little. Stocks are light
both of domestic and foreign. and full former prices
demanded.
In Philadelphia the firmness still continues but
buyers have come forward slowly the manufacture
ers generally being indisposed tn operate until after
the commencement of the New Year. A number of
mills which were working half time have now resum-
ed full work. and the stocks the hands of the man
facturers, 1t is acknowledged, are smaller than at
this perioe for many years past.
