The Wool MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Much -
usual report to which we have been
accustomed for some weeks past is
received from dealers regarding the
condition of the market for domes-
tic fleeees, rather dull business
and slight frregularity in values
being the prominent feature. The
present week, however, has been
peculiarly calculated to check the
demand, owing to the prominence
given the Thanksgiving holiday
ct the last, and many of the trade
seem to think that as this Is now
past quicker demand must soon
follow. Supplies certainly are held
with o showing OF steadiness, and
offerings are made without indica-
tions Of direct or decided pressure
to realize, while there is belief
that macy manufacturers are iu
want of more stock than they
would have. 1t appears that offer
tngs from the country are moder-
ate, and the limitation on price is
we'll mp to or above the line Of
figures ruling here. Sales include
