The Boston Bulletin SAYS: We have to re.
port the smallest weeks business in wool
| that has occurred this year, the sales of do
nestle being but ,00i 800 pounds, and OF
foreign li6,3 800 pounds, or 1 ,2i0 COO pounds
| in all. Some OF the local papers of this CITY
report a large business by including 500, OC0
pounds OF MontevideO wool which they
have Just heard of, but which was reported
IN the Bulletin fortnight ago. Not only
Is the demand from manufacturers very
moderate, but the supply of foreign wool is
much larger than was expected, and with
another auction sale opening in London
next Tuesday, and a reduction of 3 cents
per pornd in the tariff on the LIST of July,
the tone OF the whole trade is naturally CON
sentative. Nearly | ,200,0 900 pounds of Mon
tevideo wool came in this week. We are

market temporarily in order to assist deal.

From Boston 1t is learned that there has
been light business in foreign hides, with
sales mainly in small lots: holders are srm
| on prices, ana claim that no more conces-
| slons will be made, as the stock here and
the shipments on the way are unusually
small no receipts of sides the past week

from Beunos Ayres for New York, reported
toundered at sea, had TO 900 sides on board
consigned to a Boston house no sales of
Brighton hides are reported; the price is
steady at 9lc out OF salt for steers, while
cows are firm at st to SIC; there appears to
be a better demand for light slaughter
hides than for heavy.
