Woot.-The market has been rather quiet
and trade TAILS short of expectation. 1t was
generally believed that with the advent of
the new year the demand would be quitc ac-
tive, but manufacturers still buy cautiously,
and only for immediate wants. The fleece
wool now on hand is comparatively low
when we consider the cost IN the interior
last July aud the expense of carrying since
that time. Receivers have, in fact, rs yet
failed TO receive IL fair profit, and would
scarcely get their money back if full current
rates were realized. Some choice XX fleeces
have been sold at Sic, but 55c is all that can
be realized for average lots of this descrip-
ton. Some light y Michigan aud Wisconsin
have also been taken ut 50 to So. Comblng
and delaine leeces are firm aud in demand.
The transactions in pulled wool have been
mostly from As TO 55Ac.
