New York Wool Market.

The market for domestic fleece con-
tinues to rule very quiet. Manufac-
turers generally purchase only small
lots to meet their urgent needs. Prices
are nominally unchanged. The stocks
of fine fleece are gradually being re-
duced.
Fall clip California is in large sup
ply, and being dull, prices favor buyer.
In foreign woods there is very little
change in the condition of the market
since the date of our last report. Hold
ers of choice Australian and Cape
woods are encouraged by advices from
abroad, and hold their product at full
values. The principal demand is for
carpet descriptions, which are fairly
active.
