of surprise that they fall to respond
when holders are willing to meet
them at the low prices now current.
The stocks held by them are believed
to be comparatively light, but the
goods trade has been so unsatisfac-
tory they hesitate TO stock up even
when 1t Is evident that des .ra.
ble lots of fleeces are not likely to go
any lower than at present, and that
IL may be difficult to trace them even
when the new heeces are ready for
market. II any favorable change
takes place in goods Ii Is believed
that old stocks of wool wonld soon
disappear, and this may possibly be
realized when the blocks. on the
western roads are more under control.
The distribution of all kinds of mer-
chandise has been greatly interfered
with, but this state of things cannot
last much longer. Holders, however,
are still anxious to close up old stocks
of wool, and, although not urging
sales at any further concession, there
Is more or less disappointment Of
the continued unsatisfactory state oi
business.

"New York Mail dates report /:
Manufacturers continue to make
their calls for supplies with caution,
and are very rarely TO he be found
willing TO do anything Of magnitude
even where cost and quality seem to
offer extra attractions for 50 doing.
This il due in part 10 the absence Of
anything encouraging upon the goods
market, and in part TO the belief in
ample supplies until new woods be-
come plenty, and natural iaclina-
ton to leave the risk and expense of
carrying in the hatds of present own
ers. To some extent holders are
willing TO accept this, and few are
sanguine enough to think that they
win yet be able to show gain for
the patience they have displayed, but
the more general policy is TO watch
closely for all chances to effect sales.

last year the market took a decided
downward turn on account of the ar

these supplies have been a deadlock

Tho wheat market for the week
has not proved as interesting as was
expected. Yet 1t has been TO some
quite study. Values have auctuat-
ed between $l.2S@i.30, with the lat
ter paid for desirable lots all the
week, but most of the sales reported
have been shade off that price.
The foreign markets were in good
tone during the first half of the week.
At the close they have lost strength,
and quotations are slightly down.
This has some little effect on our local
market, and has also affected freight
prospects, TO n slight extent not
lowering the views of ship owners
hut making operators more timid.

The New York Weekly Er.ress,
established in 1885, is not only
one of the OLDEST and CHEAP.
EST but BEST of the New York
Family Newspapers. It is now
making a great and successful eff:
fort to reach a larger and more
general circulation than any
Weekly Newspaper in the United
States, and to this end is offered
an attractive list of substantial
and valuable premiums to single
and club subscribers. The long
established reputation and res
possibility of the publishers who
not only publish the Weekly Ex-
press, but the New York Daily
Evening Express is a sufficient
guarantee Of the character of the
premiums offered and the good
faith that will govern their dis.

attractions of the Weekly Elk
press it publishes regularly, by
authority, the Brooklyn Taber-
