| Walter Brown & Co s last circular from Boston
says: The past week In the wool market has
| falling of In amounts compared with the pre-.
vious weeks transactions OF about sOo,ooo
pounds, but as the business week has been q
broken one ON acc unit of the holiday OF the 18th
| inst. we do not think the decrease In the sales
should be considered Ms indicating weaker and
duller market than reported In our last circulAr .
Notwithstanding the light sales dizziness OF
trade and comparatively insufficient. prices, the
| general tone of the wool market has been on the
whole rather firmcr than during the past FEW
weeks, and considering the very unsatisfactory
| market of the past three months, prices have
| held their own remarkably well, and current
quotations are materially the same on the inner
grades at least, as they have been since the hrst
of spring, which probably can be accounted for
by the continuous policy pursued by manltac,
turers in their purchases, and in the belief OF
holders that all of the desirable and available
woods would be required before the new cup
could be placed upon thy market.
| The wools which still command the most at
| tenton are those from Texas and California, and
although the sales of the former have be n
smaller this week than last by about II o.
| pounds of the latter there has been an increase
of over 300, 900 pounds; the sales Of Ohio fleece
| have been light, but stocks are small and manus
| facturers are turning their attention toward the
| interior, where in some instances buyers are
| operating for the manufacturers and dealers but
| the majority of operators seem inclined to move
with caution, aud not to purchase except at the
most reasonable figures. Kansas and Missouri
| woods are beginning to arrive freely and the re-
| ceipts thus far indicate that while from some
sections the woods show no particular improve
| mcnt in condition, over those of last year, the
| bulk of the woods are perhaps better both in
condition and character than they have been IN
| previous years and will probably meet with
| prompt sales at full prices.
| The improved tone to the wooden goods mar
| ket noted in our last issue has continued; Han
| ncls have been quite active and blankets are In
| better demand, and the adyices from the Lon
| don auction sales remain favorable, prices are
steady and the competition brisk. The general
| Impression is, that the outlook the coming sea-
son for prosperous business is good, and 10 the
| conservative operator tho present quiet condi-
ton of the market is preferable than to have an
| excited and unsettled one now, just as the new
woods are being marketed. when any unjustih-
able advance in prices would have but bad
