are somewhat disappointed at the slow movement
in business. 1t was expected that the large
cession of tonnage early in the week would impart
some life to the market, but far the result has
been rather unsatisfactory. Prices are certainly

WooL-We cannot clearly understand our local
market. For ten days past there has been compar
atively no trade, yet during that time Boston
ports large transactions in spring clip and western
heeces There is no doubt but that considerable
stock of last falls clip is yet for sale in the East
and told that the stock is offered very much
below its cost here. We hear of recent sales of Red
Bluff fall clip there CAST fall shearing) at 1sc for the
best. These woods cost much more at Red Bluff
year ago, while now the views Of growers at Red
Bluff said to be much higher than the Eastern
prices. So long these extremes last there will
be trade OF consequence. As it is, the only bust
ness is occasional transfer Of parcel OF a
we'll sapled stock TO or local mills Prices
wholly nominal. No sales. The freight charges
on shipments East heavy tax on low grades
If special and cheaper rates could be obtained for
poor qualities, it is likely that good amount Of
this description would be forwarded speculation
