fully six weeks A very fair presentation
of manufacturers mas been In the market,
aud more interest Is very noticeable
Dealers have been generally ready TO
meet the reasonable demands of buyers
for concessions, but the sales would have
been much larger II these had been made
more freely. There seems to be In cifcu-
latlon generally accepted idea that
prices are not going lower, and at the
same time there h noticeable grave
anxiety that prices may advance just be-
fore new wu0ls come in II Is not such
hard work TO soil wool rs previously, but
the labor qu' stion Is still an unsettled
quantity rha manufacturers mostly In
the mai kct Tor wool are the cashmere
aud hosiery men. Some of these are
afraid to contract freely for goods, al
though at the present prices OF wool there
would be proRt IN so doing, but they
are afraid OF strikes and do not care 60
carry large storks OF wool. II IL very
noticeable that manufacturers ARE not
ordering much of the wool they
now buy out TO their mills
