WooL-Notwithstandug the favorable ad-
vices from Boston and New York regarding trans
actions at those points during the past fortnight,
the local market has not changed its quiet attitude.
Holders continue firm in their views which rule
are above those of shippers. Business is conse-
quenty checked. Meanwhile, stocks are accumu.
lating thus giving buyers better selection. Few,
if any, important Eastern orders appear to be on
hand and even if So current prices exclude their
fulfllment Usually, Eastern buyers are repre-
seuted here for the fall trade, but yet have
put in an appearance. By remaining at home it is
assumed that they anticipate obtaining supplies
quicker and cheaper through resident agents.
Holders however, relying on the presence of
Eastern purchasers later in the season, and are
therefore at present quite Indifferent about
ing among local buyers. Strictly choice descriptions
