BOSTON, June 2G, 1873.
Wool is in demand, with fair sales up to
| the fall average, comprising for the week
upwards of 800 600 pounds of domestic.
| There is no change to notice in prices. The
market has now settled down TO basis
some 3lG5c. lower for all kinds than the
| current rates some months ago. The present
excitement in the woel growing States is a
matter of surprise to both dealers and man
uCacturers, and it is believed that this excite
mcnt can be but temporary, as wool could
not be bought at the prices ruling in the in
terror, and disposed of in the Eastern mar
| kets except at a loss The transaction in
extra, double extra and thrible extra Ohio
have been principally 52@53c. In pulled
wool very little has been done compared
| with the transactions for some OF the previ.
Gus weeks. Recent sales include Ohio and
| Pennsylvania fleeces, extra, double extra
and treble extra, at 50@55c.; Michigan at
41c. New York and Western fleeces at 45(Gl-
j4e, washed, combing and delaine at J5G5-
G0c; unwashed do at 3S050c, secured do at
| 54611Sc; tub washed do at 55@56c; super
and extra pulled at 45@56c; California
spring 20@40c, and California fall at 22c.
