AN ADVANCING WOOL MARKET.
There mas been a further advance in
wool during the week, and the market
shows great strength. An increased pro-
portion OF the current transactions repre-
sents wool going into the hands Of manu-
facturers. While there was not little
speculative activity week ago, buyers
for the mills were holding of as much as
possible. Since Monday freer purchases
by manufacturers have been reported Ia
the principal marts. In some instances
dealers are holding their supplies out
Of the market, asking fancy prices
for them and predicting an improve
ment OF several cents pound In the
course Of the next few weeks. This,
however, is extreme ground. Other
dealers, though no less confident, are
willing to trade on the basis OF what they
| can get now. The Improvement Of the
last two or three weeks has been rela-
lively greater In fine wool than in medi
UNI or low sorts. 1t seems to be taken
for granted that the American clip Is de-
cidedly short, while Australian wool Is
worth more, comparatively speaking, In
London to-day than in Boston, New
York or Philadelphia. There have been
some large shipments of Australian wool
from this side to London, and buyers
abroad, on American account, have In
certain instances sold their hold
ings before shipment at hand
some profit. As yet, wooden goods
show no marked improvement In value,
but better prices are confidently expected
at the beginning of the next season, and
the mills seem to be stocking up to some
extent in anticipation of future wants.
In the London market transactions are
extensive, and prices are firm and grad
ually advancing. The amount of wool
going into consumption In Europe Is un'
mistakenly larger than two or three years
ago. Competition between English and
continental buyers is active. 1t is under
stood that the new Australian wool Ii
generally OF poor quality.
At Boston there has been great dea
of activity during the week, and large
amounts of wool have changed hands
Both manufacturers and spectators have
operated freely. The market is firm
in every particular, and OF
some kinds there has been a furthe
advance of lc per pound. Ohio an,
PennsS lvania X!aud Michigan Y are boil
quotable At higher figure than weel
ago. Delaine is also strong, and an ad
vance is claimed by some dealers. Tn
liberal takings by manufacturers encour
age the trade wonderfully. Leading sort
