a; an early day Buyers who have been can
wasting the market for some days past were
unable to find any desirable lots of tleeccs
that could be bought ut concession. Hold
ers ARE very generally Indifferent about sell
ing and still have considerable confidence IN
the future OF the market, although the busi-
ness IN January failed to come up to eXpec-
tatlon. 81 to Soc is "a fair quotation for Xxx
Ohio and Pennsylvania fleeces, although
considerable OF the stock is held above these
figures. The sales of Y Ohio have been from
% TO soc, rs to condition, and desirable lots
OF this description are worth about rs much
rs AA. Choice medium Ohio has been
sold rs high rs SIC. and this description is
scarce and firm ut SIS to SIC.
