WOOL MARKET.
There is an impression abroad that our
market is overstocked with WOOL particular
| ly fine fleeces, but we are satisfied that tho
stock of domestic here is not larger now than
| ut this time last year, and IN other markets
is much smaller. Since the first of July we
have been large receivers, but the sales di-
rect to manufacturers, during that time,
have been correspondingly large There is
II very good assortment of fine heeces, but
considerable ofths description is held under
limits and will not be offered for the pres
ent. Medium flceces and combing and de-
lame selections are scarce and wanted at
full current rates. In these grades there has
been no concession, aud, with present small
stocks, not likely to be. Good lines of super
and Y pulled are very scarce, and choice
lot of y is difficult to find. The supply of
spring California has been much broken by
large purchases during the past three
months, and our receipts of new fall have rs
yet been very light. Our stock of fine for
eign wool is very small compared with some
years past, and additional supplies cannot be
placed here from any point except mt a loss.
At the same time manufacturers feel so
much discouraged about the sale of goods,
that wool could not be forced off, to any ex-
tent, except Mt lower rates.
