The presence in the market of several
large buyers has led TO II good demand
for Wool, and prices are more settled
for certain descriptions; although the
| arrivals of domestic Fleece are not sutii-
GENTLY large to establish prices. Grow
crs are holding back, and most of the
sales OF new Wool in the country
have been to manufacturers. Michigan
Fleece has been bought about 10 per
cent. below the price of last year,
and in some sections of New England
the clip has been sold ON the same
basis The early buyers who started the
| clip at full prices, have pretty generally
| supplied their wants and have left the
field, and those persons expecting to sell
at about last years prices will hold
! their Wool until later in the season, so
that the receipts will naturally be dis
! tributed through the fall and winter
months, instead OF coming in rs soon rs
shorn, as they did last year. California
| Wool continues in good but not brisk
demand, and the best Woods are firm,
while those that are more or less faulty
are not quite 50 strong. There Is an eI-
/ cellent assortment in this market, and
| but few Of them are of low grade, as
BUYERS were fortunate in obtaining all
the choice clips, The sales OF Calliorn-
ia foot up to 100000 lbs, at prices rang
! ing from lsc TO soc for new Wool.
! Combings and Delancs have been sought
/ for. and there has been brisk demand,
! although the prices of the kentucky
clip are not up to the expectations OF
| the owners The sales comprise 100000
! los, of which 10000 lbs were Kentucky.

than tor some weeks past, and the sales
Of washed and unwashed comprise 400
OOO lb-. Of which $4,000 lbs WAS old
Wool. Pulled Woods have been taken
only toa moderate extent, and prices

been a limited demand for Australian,
but the sales only compromise about
100000 lbs.
