THE WOOL MARKET.
THE market has ruled strong and activ
throughout the week. Plenty of manufaC
turers have been looking for wools and sta
tistics show that they have bought freely
but quotations are by no means established
for the entire trade is in an unsettled con
dition. Although buying has been liberia
there are a number of manufacturers VIII
have ninety days stock on hand and VIII
propose to wait until the close of the Lor
don sales before purchasing. There is moth
ing, however, on the commercial horizo
that would seem to warrant any decline i
prices, although any further advance is dr
bious to say the least, as foreign woods ar
no dearer than last year. Ohio Xxx sell
at 80 to SAC, Ohio X at 81 to 32c, Mich
