There has been fair demand for Wool but prices
remain unchanged and continue to rule low and I'M
satisfactory The demand continues to run on me-
dunn grades of fleece, combing and deaine selections
aud California. Fine feeces are still somewhat neg
ected, although we cannot see why purchases OF fine
Reeces, at present low prices, would be good in
vestment. They be bought prices that scarce
y pays cost in the interior in July last there is no
great stock on handand in the interior it is held for
higher prices than on the seaboard. 1t appears a

In New York few manufacturers have presented
themselves, but their actions indicate desire O
purchase only for their immediate requirements.
The prevailing rates extremely low ones, when
The cost in the country is taken into consideration,
but these facts apparently have no weight with buy
ers as they still ask for low prices On the part OF
holders it may be said that they have good grace
met inc InarLet all aion9i puG prices nave now
reached low point that loss is nette with each
sale made, and they have therefore, apparently come
to the conclusion that is tar better to take The risk
later in the season than to submit to further
sions at present.
In Philadelphia the market is not characterized
by any great degree of activity, although medium
fleece, combing and unwashed have been Id to a
talr extent within the range of our quotations. The
warm weather has materially decreased the demand
for Wooden goods, and the commission houses COM
plain of a very limited business. Fine Woods are
attracting attenti n, as the manufacturers
turning their attention to Spring goods. Low Car
pet Woods are dull.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of The Portland Markets.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING NOV. 7.

The general tone Ct the markets the past week has
been quiet with small sales. The month does not
open nearly 50 well as either of the two preceding
months. Prices, however, generally remain firm and
jobbers are unwilling TO make concessions in order o
sell their goods. The money market shows but lit
tie change. Gold closed Wednesday, Nov, 18th. at
$1.O2g.
Apples are rather scarce in the market owing TO
sequently high for this season of the year. Beans
are quite firm at the quotations of last week
Butter is now coming in quite plenty, and we quote

Republicans Secure
the New York Leg
islature.
Wisconsin Gives 5000 Re-
publican Majority.
Republicans Carry
Nebraska by Over
5000.

Later returns from the elections do not alter
the general results indicated by our dispatches
of yesterday, but as far as majorites are con-
cerned theyimake more favorable showing
for the Republicans. In Massachusetts Rice
has plurality of 1900 over CASTOR and the
Republican majority in the Legislature is in
creased. In Connecticut the Republicans have
made gains and have undoubtedly got control
of the Legislature. The Democrats carry New
York by alb cut 10000, but the victory is very
barren one, as the Republicans have both
branches of the Legislature, which is of vastly
more consequence than the state ticket. Later
dispatches indicate that the first report from
New Jersey were very accurate. The Demo
Gratis have carried Pennsylvania by over Il, 600
majority. Wisconsin has done far better than
the most sanguine hoped for. The Republican
majority is over 5000, against $50 10 1875. Re.
turns from the other states indicate no change
from yesterdays reports.
