WooL.-Hallowen s. Coburn's --latest
wool circular states : There has been
steady Improvement in the demand fol
wool during the last fortnight, and al
the close there are indications of con
tinued activity. Prices fairly satisfac,
tory 10 manufacturers are now vel
established, for while dealers do not find
a profit in them, they recognize the fact
that there is still a very heavy stock OF
wool in the west, in'view Of which it is
safer to meet the market with at least
a portion of what is here. We. have
| seldom noticed go little friction between
buyer and seller, though within the last
day or two, holders have been a trihe
less eager for customers, and on some
%speclalties asking prices have been
raised one-half cent to one cent per
pound. For example, dealers are not
anxious to increase sales of Michigan
x and above fleece, unless at 40c.,
though Of the 1862 500 lbs. sold this
week. only $500 lbs. are reported at
4Oc. the rest, l60, 200 lbs. brought SOC.
1t is generally understood that the bulk
of the Michigan clip has passed out of
the hands of farmers, and is now held
by dealers who find it very difficult to
realize cost at quotations now current
in the east; many of them will take the
chances of a future market. In Ohio
the farmers still hold a large amount of
wool, and in some sections they begin
to manifest readiness to sell. Most of
the best clips however. continue to be
held with considerable firmness at 3Sc.
to 40c., and consequently the offerings
in the east at present prices are quite
limited. An analysis of the sales shows
that they are composed largely of un-
washed wool, but the classification is so
irregular that it is almost impossible to
convey a correct idea of values. The
sales for the week consist of $40, 500
lbs. washed; 1851, 300 lbs. unwashed;
1873, 800 lbs. secured; 1S9, 2O0 lbs. pulled
and noils. Total domestic 2,8l3,6 800
