WOOL MARKET.
Shrcwd buyers are evidently making up
their mind that now is good time to pur-
chase, when some concession on the extreme
prices current II few weeks ago can be OBJ
tanned, and some round lots of fleece and
| California have been quietly bought
The wool market must sympathize more
or less with the general dizziness that per-
4 Vades nearly all branches of business, and
the disappointment of manufacturers about
the movement in goods has enabled them tc
> bear the market for wool, although no very
marked change in prices has us yet takel
' place. 1t is evident to ALL however, thai
there is no more wool in the country than
will be wanted, even making II liberalreduc-
ton for the partial stoppage of mills, and the
v trade must take u fresh start sooner or later.
So far us clothiers are concerned the bust.
4 ness has been quite active and satisfactory.
