WOOL MARKET.
Buyers have been quit numerous during
the week, representing some of our largest
mills, who were ready to pay SO to j3c per
: Id for choice Ohio and Pennsylvania lleoces
but this description is generally held ut 81 to
Soc per Id, and some holders are Indifferent
about selling mt these prices. The transac-
tions only include Ohio ut 5l1 TO SOC per lb.
In Michigan flecccs the sales have been ut
80 to see, and this description is held firm ut
these figures. Our supply of Wisconsin and
other Western ileeces is rs yet very small,
but good Wisconsin fleeces now range about
rs high as Michigan.
Combing and delane fleeces continue in
demand, sales ut SO TO 55c for washed and
421 to 47c for unwashed, including Kentucky
Mt 40 to 47c per h. Gee per lb is, however,
an outside price for choice lots of combing,
and 47c is an extreme figure for the most
desirable lots of Kentucky. The large mills
are in the market buying up all available
lots, and this description meets with u ready
sale mt the current rates.
California is less inquired for but the sales
foot up n fair average. The principal sales
were from 321 to Soc per 10. These are rs
high figures us have been obtained any timo

wool is considered.
Pulled woods have been comparatively
quiet. Good lines of Y are wanted, and
choice supers have been in fair demand, and
in prices no change since last week. Pulled
woods, however, are generally quiet ut this
season.
