The Boston Commercial Bulletin says: The
better clas SEES of mems heavy woolens continue
well sold up, and the market for the poorer quail
i,ies is being greatly relieved by decreased pro
duction. A very large amount OF sa,lnet ma
chinery is now either lying idle or has been
changed to fancy cassimeres. The deliveries OF
desirable woolens of all kinds to the clothing g
imnroyinr. Flnnnels and blankets are still
auiet, Transactions in dress hannels and sack
ings are somewhat lessened, owing to the trade
being well supplied. Carpets at hrst hands are
well sold up, and jobbers are receiving excel
lent orders for most all makes with the prefer
ences given to extra supers, tapestries anu pouy
Brussels at unchanged prices.
