WOOL MARKET.
There has been fair demand for wool the
past week, the sales of foreign and domestic
adding up near |, $50, 900 lbs. Prices are firm
and continue to be we'll sustained for all
kinds, with slight improvement in fine
| fleeces. No straight lots of XIX Ohio or
Pennsylvania offering under &c. and but a
very small stock ofthis description, here or in
the interior, TO be had at any price. Latest
kilograms from the London sales arc quite
| favorable. Prices continue to be well sus-
| tanned, with an active competitor.
We are well satisfied that very little desir-
able wool is left in the interior. One party
holds 10000 lbs choice Ohio and Pennsyi-
vania fleeces for which $50 is asked, equal to
about 60c in this market, freight and other
expenses included, but outside of this the lots
arc few and scattered.
Combing fIeeces remain quite steady and
firm, and desirable lots of super and X pull
ed have been in fair demand at full previous
prices, but there is no particular snap to the
market and both buyers and sellers appear
to be quite Indifferent.
