Wool-The past was rather an excited
week in the wool market. We looked for
an active demand for fine feeces before the
close of December, but scarcely anticipated
it so early in the month, although many of
the leading buyers have been preparing for
move for some weeks past. 1t is not sur
prislng that the market was excited when SO
many of the largest manufacturers in the
country were operating, including Mr.. May
nard, Of the Assabet Manufacturing Co.
Mr.. Cole, of the Harris Wooden Co, the
Washington Mills, tho Auburn Wooden Co.
Messrs. TAFT, Weed Il Co., Mr.. Geo. Sea
grave, the Rock Company, Rockville, Conn.
Mr.. D. NJ. Stillmar, Westerly, r. l., tn,
Cherry Valley Mills, and Mr.. A. r. Stewart
These mills and others represented by The
gentlemen enumerated above, are all large
consumers of fine lleeces, and If so disposed
| 1T WOulu not take Them lone IN clear thu
market of fine woods. In pulled woods tn,
Salisbury Mills and other large buyers have
been operating, and on the whole the mar
ket has taken II decidedly favorable turn.
In prices no material change has tlker
pace. Some lines of Michigan and Other
Westeln fleeccs have been sold ut about Il
per lib advance on recent bprices, but for fin
/ tlecccs buyers have only purchased quit,
: freely ut the current rates for some week
past.
