THE Wool Observation-Disclosures &
Coburn, Boston says IN their latest cir
cular: Trade has been dull this week
and limited to a few transactions, some
of them moderately large, by a few fav-

eastern markets is higher, prices art
now down to II quotations for last
August. Further depression may be In

any sufficient reason for it, and with
out arguing the question We venture to
state our belief that prices have touch
ed bottom. Dizziness may continue to
characterize business during the cur
rent month, and in order to force it
occasional concessions may be made,
