Mauger y Ayerys last Boston wool circular
says there is no apparent change in the wool
market since onr circular of June 10Th The only
class of stock that has been in good demand has
been choice Indiana and Virginia strictly graded
half aud three-eighthS blood unwushed. Other
classes OF medium have been in fair request but
close discrimination has been made in price,
Fine woods OF superior staple or condition If UNI
wasned have met with moderate demand at very
low prices, so low in fact that they must have
paid loss to shippers, unless the invoices con.
tanned enough medium TO pay the expenses on
the entire. shipment For fine washed woods
there has been scarcely any inquiry, and old
woods can be purchased at less price than the
new clip can be laid down for.
Quarter blood or low medium unwashed has
been saleable at low figures, Washed WOODS OF
same grade have accumulated. Coarse woods
have not recovered their position at all and con.
tinue TO be neglected For combng woods the
demand varies. Fine delaine is weaker, Me-
dium Combng In good request and quarter
blood as well. Coarse combing salcable only at
low figures.
In the west the bulk Of the woods still remain
In farmers md gppuul hands with tbn
ton OF Michigan where Il fair proportion has
been taken for manufacture or for shipment
NJ prices which must be very satisfactory to
growers who are posted on the situation in
the east In other states there has been more
or less OF q struggle between farmers and buy
ers rs to price, but in Michigan with less than
the usual amount of excitement buyers have
fixed the price at about the views of Ohio
buyers, and farmers have, with their usua
sagacity in that section, improved their oppor-
tunily and sold freely. in Wisconsin, Ohio
ana other sections marketing washed woods thu
clip has moved but slowly In Indiana Mis-
souri, and the trans Mississippi sections The
woods have passed generally inIo second hands
at full prices and so remain
Influenced probably by the high values o
grain etc, western buyers have paid prices il
every section not warranted by quotations in
the seabOard marke Is, and il becomes a serious
| question now what the future of the marke
| is likely TO be. With the bulk of the clip mar
keted, 1t remains to be seen whether il Is likel,
chat the wool buyer will get his money back O
not
Instead of an inSuiliciency of wool as man,

| the larger mills have for various reasons stop
ped all or portion of their machinery, and th
OF course restricts the consumption OF wool to
greater or less degree. II is very likely that be

between the buyer and seller, in which til,
holder has very little TO hope for ut best.
Texas woods have been in fair request Stock
have been measurably reduced. The bulk o
the present offerings are held above the view

The Abilene Reporter says; Wool shipments
to date, 926, 2S6 pounds; In store at warehouse
100000 total receipts l,02i 33j pounds. The ship
ments this season will probably reach one and ,
quarter million pounds.
