THE BOSTON wool MARKET

BOSTON, May 13.-In the wool mar
ket there has been fair business doing,
with sales of 100000 pounds of all
kinds for the week. Some few houses
sold largely, but generally speaking
business with most dealers has been
light. The tone of market is tame and
unsatisfactory. 1t looks as if the new
clip would have to be moved at prices
current in eastern markets, as manu-
facturers and dealers have no conf
dence in a higher range at present. The
failure Of Robert B. Metcalf, in conse-
quence of carrying some $50, 900 pounds

combing, has had tendency to unset
tie the market and create an influence
against an upward movement. these
woods selling fully ten cents per pound
less than few months ago. The fact
that there is so much old wool turning
up when supplies of new are coming
forward is an assurance to manufac.
turers that there is an abundance of
wool for their wants.
Sales of Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA tleec-
es have been at 3S@40c for x 40@41c
for Xxx and above 42c for xxx.
Michigan and Wisconsin heeces range

demand. There havo been sales of 343,-
600 pounds of spring California to ar
rive, including considerable Red Bluff
wool, atprices not made public. Some
of this wool was purchased in Califor-
MIA, only few weeks ago, and has been
turned over evidently at a profit, but it
is very desirable wool. Pulled is in
steady demand at 28@4Sc, including
considerable choice super at 4O@48c

been sales of Montevideo and Austria
liam at prices which indicate no change.
Carpet woods are more inquired for,

The electric light is not yet success.
So far as recent accounts from New
York are to be believed, Edison has
succeeded in producing light which
perfection more nearly than
that of any other inventor, foreign or
domestic. If this light be all that is
for it, however, it is strange
that it does not at once spring into
public favor and general use. The lead
ing foreign invention, the Jablochkoff
candle, has been thoroughly tested, both
in Europe and in this country, and it is
not success. 1t has now been in use
for some months in the Chicago Times
office, and while it far surpasses the
Brush and other lights in use in that |
city, it is not by any means perfect, or
even satisfactory. The light will fire.
