Boston Wool Market.

From the Boston Journal OF Commerce.
The failure of more wooden mills has
had depressing effect on the market,
aud prices have further declined, with no
disposition on the part of the buyers, ex.
cept from hand to mouth. '.
In California woods there Is more do
ing; while it is not certain that prices
have reached their lowest point, they are
deemed to be very near bottom. Ad-
vices from California state that large
quantities of wool are coming in, but In
very inferior condition, and which
must be sold for what it will bring,
while good lots are scarce and in de-
mand at very fair prices. There is
almost panic among many of the far
mers and sheep-raisers there over the
low prices obtained, and they are selling
their sheep for third Of what they were
formerly held at; those who are strong
enough W hold on and weather the ex-
element will undoubtedly be the gamers
in the end. There are some arrivals OF
shearling woods here, but no prices have
been established, as there are
no sales as yet 1t is used principally by
matters and for telling purposes.
Advices from Kentucky state that the
woods are in fine condition; that they
will be worth more to manufacturers than
last year, but they are not expected To
bring over AZ here; last year the prices
was 47(dl50c. Very little, if any, has ar
rived as yet, but in week or two the
usual quantity may be expected. The
amount Of crop Is expected to be about
the same as last year.
