figures. 81. Paul was undoubtedly the
lever by which the rest OF the market was
moved. The buying of this stock seems
to be almost entirely for Western
accounts. The floating OF new per
cent. loan by st. Paul is the great ele.
ment of strength to that stock, aud incl
dentally to the rest OF the list. The mar,
ket opened firm and tough; Vanderbilts
were down 4 and Pacific Mail &. There
was active trading in the first half hour
1 he final figures are generally either at
or close to the best prices reached, the
market closing strong at an advance.
Although the whole active list is higher
tonight, ST. Paul is the only stock on the
usually active list showing an advance OF
more than per cent.
THE WOOL MARKET.
Special to the Gazette.
BosToN, MASS, May 2l,-The wool
market has some peculiar features which
are important. There is indeed more
room for careful consideration of facts
than for long time. The situation at
the time for the new clips to come for
ward is always more or less critical. This
week II. Is especially so. We wish to
I
growers OF wool, the dealers and import
ers and manufacturers of wooden goods
and worstei OF all kinds, that the tore
OF the market shows an Improvement
There is considerably more interest
shown by manufacturers, Within two
, days n fair quantity OF wool has been
sold, but the sales are not reported until
the wool is delivered A great many
more manufacturers have been IN the
market. They are short Of wool. They
have not been carrying their customary
stocks, The strikes, the receipts, the I'M
J ports OF yarns and worsted, the tariff
, agitation, these have all mad Il demoral-
ling Influence, and manufacturers have
, bought 1868, $50 pounds less wool In
the market than year ago. From Texas
the latest reports are that heavy sales
have beer made at San Antonio at lGalS
cents for six to eight months wool and
lSM20 cents for twelve months. The
, stock there is about 1000, 900 pounds A
telegram from another Texas point re-
ports scarcely any Eastern demand,
although several buyers are circulating
choice and strictly choice at 1913 cents.
The total receipts OF wool at this port
= during the past week comprise 505S
bales domestic and SS3 bales foreign.
The sales for the week comprise ,09S,-
