THE WOOL MARKET
BosroN, MASS, Jan. l5.--rhe demand
for wool Is steady and the market Is
firm. The large amount OF fine woods ex-
ported from Australia and Montevideo Is
check on any advance on this descrip-
ton, but medium and coarse are in small
stock with desirable lots difficult TO find
For these grades good prices will continue
TO be realized. The scarcity OF desirable
medium wool will direct more attention
TO the finer grades, and fine woods will
probably be In better demand for the
balance OF the season. Sales have been
made in New York at 25l 10 26c to arrive,
but now 2Gd TO 27c Is a fair quotations
and some very choice has been sold
at 2gl cents. There is considerable in
quiry for English and Irish combing
woods, and reports are current that quite
large sales have been made but nothing
definite could be learned. The demand
for washed tieeces has been fair and prices
are steady. The prospect OF better
market on fine woods Is good as the scar
city Of medium will force manufacturers
to take line wool, especially as there Is
more machinery employed and manufac-
turers feel encouraged. There is very little
fear about the importation of fine woods.
Unwaehed woods are moderately active
and pulled woods are steady. The prices
