bran Sl4.OO to $l4.50, middlings $1,000
to S15.50 and cotton-seed meal S22 per ton.
THE WOOL MARKET.
QuIErNEss has been the prevailing feature
throughout the week. The general impress
sion OF manufacturers seems to be that wool
is ultimately bound for higher plane, but
that by refraining from purchasing for the
next thirty days they may be able TO lay in
, a fair supply of cheap wool from the more
timd holders. There is no doubt that manu-
facturers have been, and are still, prospecting.
Ohio Xxx sells at "a to 35c, Ohio X al
= 32 to 33c, Michigan No. | at 80 to SIC
! California spring at % to &c, Eastern
Oregon at y to 24c, Maine supers at 3Sc
: extra Western pulled at % to 32c and
medium combing at "a to Soc per pound.
