Manufacturers having bought quite freely
in December it was supposed January would
be comparatively n quiet month. but when
we conslC er that tho machinery in operation
requires upward of 1000, 900 lbs per week, it
is evident that buyers cannot keep out of
market for any length of time.
The transactions in Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia have been at SO to SOC, including X, Xxx
and xxx, the bulk of the sales having been
mt Sc per lb for Xxx. Although no advance
has been obtained on fine fieeces there is
stronger and firmer tone, and indications
point to higher prices in week or two
Michigan fseces 5li to SIC.
Pulled woods have been in better demand,
super and Y ut As to Acc. The stock of pull
ed wool is light and pelts are scarce and
high. California wool continues in demand,
for good spring, and manufacturers are dis
posed to purchase freely.

the market for all kinds of domestic. Some
considerable sales have been made at 20Ic,
