wool, either here or In the Eastern market. The
London sales show a very strong feeling there,
with higher prices prevailing for some kinds.
Eastern dealers hold desirab BILE domestic qualities
very firmly, but some foreign wool is offered at
barely the cost of Importation. In our home
market, the demand Is confined TO what sinai
lots the Western mills require for current con-
sumption, and the receipts from the country are
inconsiderable Dealers would buy fine and me-
alum delaIne and clothing wool at pretty full
prices, and they take the few lots of other kinds
which are received at the quotations., which are
unchanged.
The local grain markets are in much the same
position as on Wednesday. Corn continues to
be the favorite cereal with dealers. nearly all OF
whom are bullish in their talk. The Board of
Trade Price current says Of wheat: W fail to
note any special change in local markets, mill
ers paying about the same for good quality,
Which they report as quite scarce Shippers can
do very little, as seaboard is comparatively SO
much lower that, with freights added, they
would only lose money by shipping. The visible
supply exhibits the remarkably large increase
OF 9e0,791 bushels, suggesting that the able ex-
porter has gone hunting and is not tending
strictly to business. Seaboard to-day is gener-
ally duh and lower" We quote:

Q nality good. Market opened excited at quite a
sharp advance from Yesterdays close. but the
boom was of short duration. Upon receipt of
reports from other markets (Which were not
very favorable) and indications Of warmer
weather, the market broke badly, declining fully
loo to zee from early sales. Trade ruled slow
and draggy at the decline. Packers were the
principal buyers in the afternoon, as shippers
filled their orders early, which accounts for the
strong market at the beginning of the days
work. At the close the peLs are about cleared.
but the feeling Ia rather tame, The following
are the closing prices this afternoon, which are
fully loo lower than yesterdays close.
