From Walter Brown & Co.'s wool circular OF
Nay 81 The condition OF the wool market re-
mains about the same as reported in our pre-.
yious Issues OF this month. On fine fecccs u
tritle better feeling has been developed for tho
desirable woods, which is owing, not To an i'm
proved demand from manufacturers, but to the
scarcity Of the selections and really choice lots
OF Nf ohio ieeces are now held firm Mt the
nlSHthl uuOlhllOllS. llItTlOr WOODS move moro
slowly, but 1t Is evident that the eastern markets
will be comparatively bare of leeccs before the
new woods can be offered The backwardness
of the season has delayed shcaring throughout
the country, and with the exception of u few
clipR from Missouri and Texas there
has been hut little new woods received
Texas woods are now beginning TO arrive freely,
and are meeting with prompt sales, ana in some
Instances NJ an advance on the opening prices
The finer grades of the combing and clothing
woods are still In good command although there
Is no Improvement In their values aud the sales
which are effected are made ut former ruling
prices; on the strictly medium and low woods
prices are yet unsatisfactory, and stocks of these
grades are very difficult to move ut almcst the
lowest quotations. and until fashion demands
coarscr and lower grades Of goods they will
probably continue 10 meet with their present
limited inquiry
Wooden goods have sold but slowly during the
past week principally on account OF the wet aud
disagrecablc weather, which will rather have u
tendency To render manufacturers conservative
In their purchases.
The adyiccs from the London sales continue
favorable, values are steadily sustained and
much Of supply from this source Is not To be
expected. As whole the market hns been "a
little more active than last week, but there is no
SNAP 10 trade, and MS yet no indications OF any
change In It's general condition
