Is change, but there is pressure to sell on th

up stocks rs fast rs possible, and to do 8
;rt are willing to meet buyers on favorabl
terms. These remarks, however, apply
10 only fine heeces and the odds and ends usu
IL ally to be found Mt the close OF the yea
ng Medium feeces and combng and d0lain
II selections to command extreme prices an
~ are scarce and difficult to find. A small l.

q sold at zoe, and this is the highest price "
obtained
Pulled woods are not so firm, and X grade
oh are particularly dull, sales in many instance
O. having been made Mt concession of to 9
uu per Id. There is, however, a pressure
ar sell all kinds Of pulled rs fast as received
a rs holders appear to have no confidence i
ma the future of the market. The fact is a
lv kinds of business falls short of expectation
y, and 1t is useless TO look for any better maj
'ed ket for wool while every department of trad
ng is so unsatisfactory.
